II is not realized, perhaps, by the ordi-
nary speculator and investor that the
railways and industrial concerns of the
country are paying out in dividends and
interest at this time more than double
what they were four years aEo The
statistics of disbursements every month
will show this to be the fact. however
II is said by the people that take pessl-
mistic view of the outlook for the market
that the present level Of prices Is far too
high-that prices much more than repre-
seHt values. Values are determined by
earning capacity and by interest ana dlVl-
dend disbursements. 1T is true that the
advance in the price of securities has
been handsome since 1896. but IL Is equally
true that dividend and Interest payments
to the holders of stocks and bonds have
increased even more rapidly. The figures
OF these disbursements for November are
at hand, and they are very Interesting
In the year 1897 the total payments TO
the holders of securities were S5b.mO,OO
For this month they were s51 ,OO0. .Oe0 an
Increase of $3l,Ot0.0t 600, or l2O per cent. TIE
greater portion of this increase was in
dividends of course. and II Is fairly safe
to estimate that dividends have increased
in volume from $50 to 200 per cent in four
years.
Henry CIews. after pointing out some
of the unfavOrable conditions in the imam
cial situation abroad and suggesting that
they are lii ely to react on this country IN
time has this to say of the immediate
future of the market:
ION the favorable side OF the market
we have the expected end of the Northern
Pacific deadlock which has proved such
an insuperable obstacle to all speculative
operations since last summer. Very likely
it's immediate effect will be fully discount
ed when the formal announcement ap-
pears: still the general market VIII be
distinctly relieved by the removal of
very threatening element. Another en-
couraging feature is the satisfactory con-
dition of general business. There are no
signs yet of reaction. and the principal
lines of trade are enjoying another season
of unexampled prosperity. This is true
of the entire country except in the drought
district where corn and cotton were bad
iy injured. The agricultural interests of
the country as whole are prosperous.
Iron has always been considered a good
barometer of trade, and If this be true
conditions must be satisfactory. for the
great iron mills of the country are run
ming to their fullest capacity. with orders

Some Important Facts That
Every Investor Has a
Right to Know.

What do you purpose to do
with the money you raise
from the sale of stock?
The Eastern Consolidated
Oil Company believes in ex-
pansion. They believe with
the Standard Oil Company
that wherever is found an ex-
ira fine oil property, secure it
if money will do it.
Has the Eastern ConsOli-
dated accomplished anything
along these lines? If so, what
has been done and how does
this stock compare with that
of other companies?
In answer to the first ques-
ton will state that the East
ern Consolidated has over 49,
900 acres of very valuable
property in California. This
alone is nearly three times as
much property as is held by
any other company now of
fering its stock to the public;
but in addition they have
lately secured a very yalua-
BILE property in Ohio with Is
producing wells, pipe lines
from Standard Oil laid direct
to the tanks, and all our oil
sold at good prices. Our
agent is securing the country
for other choice properties,
and one which we are now
considering is a property at
Spindle Top, Texas, right in
the midst of the Big Gushers.
We will answer the second
question by asking another.
If you had a beautiful IA
carat diamond offered you at
very low figure, and another
party offered you an imita-
ton at double the price asked
for the genuine,

Reasons Why Eastern ConsoI-
idated Has Distanced All
It's Competitors.

Because it is a wideaWake,
pushing, aggressive oil com
pany.
Because it is following
closely in the footsteps of the
greatest oil company in the
world, the Standard Oil Com
pany, which has made for
tunes for its stockholders.
Because this company be-
lieyes in giving its stockhold-
ers a chance to realize big re-
turns on their investment.
Consequently you only pay %
cents instead of 80 cents to 81
a share for your stock, and
thereby have the advantage
of seeing your stock double in
value within thirty days.
Because, aside from the
Standard Oil Company, there
is no company offering its
stock to the public today that
has as much property, as
good property, and as big
prospects for becoming one
of the greatest oil companies
in the United States as the
Eastern Consolidated Oil
Company with Eastern brains,
EASTERN capital, and Eastern
enterprise.
Because management is ev-
erything. Many a good enter
prise has been ruined by bad
management. Eastern Con-
solidated will not suffer in
this particular. It's directors
are men of. national reputa-.
ton. men whom any consery-
ative banking or large fnan-
cial institution might feel
proud TO have in charge of its
affairs, men who are not fig
ureheads, but take an active
interest in its affairs. The
President, Hon. Ernest Cadv,
was a candidate for Govern
or of Connecticut, and presid-
ed as Lieutenant Governor
over the State Senate. Hon.
Charles j. Noyes, of Boston,
was Speaker of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, having
been reelected several terms,
and according to the press
was one of the best Speakers
Massachusetts ever had. Lew

Postmaster Wright has establishedA . rural free delivery system, which westward, will reach to Gold Run, eastward to Nome river, and north to Anvil, Snow, Glacier and other creeks.
 The service to Gold Run will be weekly, and the contract has been let to F. w. Meyers, who will also estab- fish an express and passenger service between Nome and Gold Run, using horse teams. /,
 Lloyd Mason has the contract for carrying mail to Anvil, Dexter and other creeks. .J.fI-.-.. s .,

 The service to the creeks will be tri-weekly, on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. The service between Nome and Penny and Nome rivers will be the same.
 Postmaster Wright wishes it to be distinctly understood that this service is absolutely free. However, should the carriers be given letters on the streets, the carriers may charge for their delivery; but upon all letters sent out from the postoftice there will be absolutely no charge for delivery.

Six Dead Bodies Found on
 Norton Bay.
FROZEN TO DEATH
The Bodies Supposed to Be Those of Natives Who Perished in a Blizzard Last Winter-A Floater Seen on Norton Bay.

The dead bodies of six men are said to have been found recently at some point between St. Michael and Unala- klik.
 News of the ghastly find was received at St. Michael. Ex.United States Mar shal Vawter, who was at St. Michael when the story reached there, says it was thought that the dead bodies were those of natives, who it was believed had perished in one of the numerous 'blizzards that ragged last winter.
 The steamer Saddle reports seeing the dead body of white man floating in Norton bay, near Prosper island. a few days ago. An attempt was made to pick up the foater, but 1t disap- peared under the wheels before it could be reached. The hair was gone from the head and the features were much disfgured.
 It is thought that the body may have been that of Dr. F. w. Baum, who perished on the ice in that vicinity last winter.

A considerable portion of the plant was brought to Nome last year, but owing to to the litigation commen- ced over Anvil creek claims MT. Lane abandoned the work. Now that the cases have been settled the work has been again undertaken. By the time that navigation closes it is expected that the plant will be completed and next spring the neighboring creeks and benches will be lined with sluice boxes and hundreds of men shoveling in the golden gravel. The pumping plant, engine rooms, etc.. will be most complete and will be sub stantially built, the floors being of cement, for which 5000 barrels will be necessary. The construction of the buildings is under the superintendence of Barry Searle, we'll known archi- tect and builder of Seattle. The superintendent of machinery is Chas. Dahlstrom, who came to Nome last year with the first consignment of
 machinery and supplies for the new
 plant.

 as been the scene of several forcible
 jectments, without due process of
 wv. The bench is claimed by the
 !ongollon Mining Company, of Minne-

Then they were driven of the claim, and Richards, Stewart and party re- mained in possession.
