L. AND y. LEASE PLAN

The result of conferences between j. Pierpont
Morgan and Samuel Spencer. president Of the
Southern Railway. since Mr.. Morgan's return
from abroad was announced yesterday at Mr..
Spencer's office, as follows:
The consideration of the amount Of the Octo-
Der dividend the preferred stock was post
poned until future meeting Of the board, on
account of communication received from the
voting trustees. stating that they had been re-
queSted oy holders OF large amounts or ootn the
preferred and common stock to extend the period
of the voting trust. and that IN view of such re-
quest. they had determined 10 issue a circular
10 the stockholders, suggesting and recommend
ing such extension.
Pending the ascertainment of the wishes Of the
stockholders in this respect, the board cOnsfd-
cred II best to postpone action upon the dividend
lIr. Morgan is at the head of the voting trust
of the Southern Railway. and the decision not
to pay the dividend for October Immediately
was taken in Wall Street to mean that Mr.
Morgan ready to turn the control OF
the road over to the stockholders. IL a divi-
dend of 215 per cent were declared for Oc-
tober the voting trust would be dissolved. ac-
cording to the terms of the agreement by which
the trust was formed. 1t was agreed that the
trust should be dissolved when the road paid
a dividend of ) per cent in any year One divi-
dend of 21a per cent has been declared this year.
To keep the voting trust, the board can de-
clare an October dividend Of "a per cent, and
make the first dividend for next year quar-
ter Of / per cent higher Accompanying yes
terday's announcement was the following state
ment Of the earnings and expenses OF the South
ern Railway for twelve months ending June 80.

One reason for keeping control Of the Southern
Railway through the voting trust might be

road in the joint control OF the Southern Sea-
board and Atlantic Coast lines. Mr.. Morgan Is
said 10 be contemplating such a plan, with a
lease of the Louisville and Nashville. and Z
per cent guarantee to the stockholders. It was

1t is impossible to predict with any
accuracy the duration of mining is
the Witwatersrand district, by reason,
especially, of the indeterminate fac
tor of the rate at which exploitation
will be carried on. says John Hays
Hammond in the Engineering Maya
zine. 1t may be observed, however.
that the tendency is to exploit the
auriferous areas as rapidly as pos
siblc, and that engineering methods
are all adopted with that end in view.
If the explorations of the deeper lev
els is not delayed pending the proving
of the ground lying above. but Is car
ried on currently with the exploita-
tion of the higher horizons of the
reefs. the industrial life OF the dis
trict will, of course, be corresponding
ly shortened. The working of lower
grade ores. made possible by improve
ed economic conditions or other cir
cumstances, would tend to increased
longevity of the industry. But, were

of profitable operations on large
