BIG MINING PROFITS.
Some Of the Enormous Receipts Of
Leading Producers of the
World.

People who have not studied the sub
iect have for the most part very i'm
perfect ideas as TO what is being done,
not only in the United States, but also
in various foreign countries, in the
way OF gold and silver mining. To
such may be recommended q careful
consideration of thsf facts and figures
set forth below. The record that has
been made by some of the individual
gold and silver mines is simply amaz-
ing.
The Comstock lode, of Virginia City,
has produced in gold and silver the
enormous sum OF 1920. 900, 900. Most of
this ore yielded but IS per ton in gold.
The Calumet has paid $50, 0oo, 900 in
dividends alone.
The Anaconda, of Butte, which was
sold for 10000 900 to the Rockefellers
paid that amount in dividends before
selling.
Tho Alaska-Trcad gold mine.
with ore running loss than SO, has paid
SO, 905, 900 in divide hds.
The Ontario, OF Utah, has paid sl3,-
$50 900 in dr. -A>,
The Grant, i eva, Mont, 49,
900, 900; the from 10 cents
per share to s75 iusAde OF two years and
paying so per cent. in dividends each
month.
The Bomestake, Of South Dakota, on
SO ore, has paid 1888 in dividends
every day it has run for the past ten
years.
The Whitewaterstrand, OF South Az
RIGA, produced in the first year (1SS),
only 1906, 900, but in 1895 it had in
creased to $40, 600. coo, while the output
for the last ten years exceeds $3.50, OOO,-
600. For 1897 it was 1000, 0O0, 900,

THE Bulletin, in attempting to justi-
~ its fight against the democratic
ticket during the last campaign, cites
the fact that Tom Smith, republican
candidate for county recorder, received
. large majority in Clifton, his home
precinct. The ERA is willing to wa
ger n years subscription that not one
OF the democratic votes received by
Mr.. Smith, was cast by delegate to
the democratic convention. One OF
the editors of the Bulletin was dele
gate to the county convention, and
participated in the nomination OF the
ticket, part of which the Bulletin
fought bitterly during the entire cam
paign. This is Il very different propo-
sition from the one Gifted by the BullC-
tin, in which number OF democrats
voted for neigbbor and friend whom
they had known for many years. In
all political organizations, a man who
participates in nomination conyen-
ton is in honor bound to stand by the
nominees. To do otherwise is base in
gratitude and treachery to the party.

THE officers of the Horseshoe Min
ing company seem to be having quite
serious time OF it in New York.
Qualey and Weller have been arrested
several times for transactions which
sayor of the gold brick scheme. The
company has been operating for some
time past near Stafford, and the Guard
ian seems to think that the company
ard the property is all right. Oualey
was tried iii at the last sitting of the
district court in this county, for false
entries in the books of the Boston and
Arizona Mining company, of which he
was president and manager. The jury
returned verdict OF guilty aud Qualey
was sentenced by Judge Doau to pay a
fine OF 500 and serve six months in the
county Jail. The case was appealed to
the Supreme court and Qualey gave
bond for his appearance to submit TO
the decision of the supreme court last
week affirmed the decision Of the lower
court. This is certainly pretty con-
vincing evidence that Qualey was
guilty as charged. The operations of
the Horseshoe Mining Company have
become quite notorious in New York,
and il Qualey and his associates are
guilty of the charges made against
them they will doubtless receive a
sentence which will keep them out OF
mischief for several years to come. In

BIG STRIKE AT BUTTE.
Every Mine Closed Down and Thous-

4 telegram was received in Clifton
last night by W. B. Thompson, of the
Shannon company, stating that a
strike had gone into effect at Butte,
Montana, and that every working
mine in the camp was closed down.
This will throw ten thousand men
out OF employment and paralyze every
industry in the camp. It will probably
be long battle. and may. materially
advance the price OF copper.
