A,efore the last motion was put DIR.
Ssorse B. Baker of Philadelphia of
fered the following:
"Whereas, The vote of the presby-
teries on creedal revision indicates an
utter lack of unanimity as to what
should be done in the matter: and
whereas. This lack of unanimity
means n protracted period of contro-
versy and unrest in case the move
ment for revision be persisted in: and
whereas, The disturbance of the
confession of faith would be in the
way of union or reunion with other
churches now holding this symbol un-

sired and prayed for: therefore,

The reading of the resolution brought
forth considerable applause. There
were loud calls for DIR. Dickey to
speak on the resolution.
DIR. Dickey made an eloquent appeal
to the assembly to settle the question

DR.. McI<ibben said the confession

BOSTON & MONTANA.
It's Last Report Was a Magnificent
Showing for Stockholders.

Boston & Montana presents another
magnificent report to it's shareholders
Gross receipts at $l3,242.576 are 81, 900 900
or IS per cent better than those for 1892
while the operating expenses were ac-
tually 100000 less than those for 1892
IS. 100000 net money was available for
distribution. Rnt It was daan,ad wise to
charge from current earnings over
81. O0O.0 900 for construction at Great Falls,
leaving over $7.0O0.OOO for dividends,
$6,45OOOO or $i3 per share was paid to
stockholders. and surplus of $4,000
carried forward says the Boston News
Bureau.
Had this $1,000. 900 been capitalized, the
mine would have shown $54 per share
earned for the stock in a single year or
over twice the par value-certainly a
most phenomenal achievement
An important statement contained in
the report is one to the effect that
for the immediate future the lower
grade ore reserves will be utilized, leay-
ing the higher grade reserves to be
mined when copper is selling at lower
level. This is doubtless done in tho
interests of regular dividend disburse-
mentS, but it has been demonstrated
that for actual net results the largest
return is secured by mining the largest
amount of high grade rock when copper
is selling at a high level. Such a prac-
tlce however is never followed by con-
servatively managed mining concerns
with large lists of shareholders.
