MINING DIVIDENDS.
June Output One Of the Best for the

June Output One Of the Best for the
Year.
June's big showing In the
Spokane group Of Minis, when $780,
900 was disbursd in dividends, being
followed with figures that indicate
equal progress in the precious metal
mining industry all over the
country. A group Of 80 mines and
metallurgical works paid dividends
Of s15, ,665, 994, which Ia equivalent
to about 10 per cent Of the total
for the whole mineral industry.
Foremost this year are the gold,
silver and lead properties, situated
chiefly in Colorado and Utah, Of
which 81 have paid s7,3s7,77l.
The American Smelling l. Refining
Co. reported the largest dividends,
81, 100000 or 3.5 per cent on its
preferred stock, but nothing on the
common. Silver King Of Utah leads
the precious metal mines, disbursing
5000, 900, or 20 per cent for the
half year, which its neighbor, DAILY
West, has come forward with $780,
900, or ls per cent on its capitalize.
tion.
OF the stocks in which foreign In.
vestors are mostly interested the
Camp Bird gold mine Of Colorado
yielded dividends of s233, 700, or
at the rate of IL per cent per annum.
Alaska -Treadwell, probably the best
paying low grade gold mine In the
world, reported $3.50, 900, or 40
per cent, for the half year. There
were numerous smaller payers that
divided monthly, but the tendency
Is to change to quarterly basis for
convenience in bookkeeping.
The copper mines are gradually
recovering from the demoralized
metal market Of last year, aud judg-
ing from the increased dividend
paid In the second quarter by the
Calumet l. Hecls company, earnings
are improving. This mine paid sl,-
OO5, 900 in dividends for the half
year, which Is equivalent to|.60 per
cent on a capitalization of ~, 5OO,-
900. Amalgamated, which Is essenti
ally holding company, paid only
per cent, or sl,53s, $50, on its
issued capital Of sl53, ss7, 300.
Two of Amslgamated subsidiary
companies paid 81, 100000 half
being credited to Boston aud Montana
at the rate Of l6 per cent for the
six months, aud half to Anaconda at
5 per cent. These dividends formed
the basis Of the Amalgamated
payments. Ten other copper mines,
situated principally In Michigan and
Arizona, gave out s2,964, ,564
dividends, equivalent to an annual
rate varying from to "a per cent on
the capitalization.
Four zinc mines, headed by the
New Jersey Zinc company, declared
dividends amounting to s643, 639.
Two California quicksilver properties
paid e8l, 500, and one nickel com.
pany, s349, 9,66O.
In addition to the above, %
Mexcian gold, silver and copper
properties reported 1852, 489,
principally In monthly dividends; (;
four Central and South American
mines, In which Americans are
interested, e2l3, 4O2, and three
Canadian concerns, e4l6, ,6OO.-

waters feeding the springs of the
earth are the same which have
depositd the millions of tons of ore
in the great mining districts.
That the waters in the vadose
region above the ground water level
should be able to collect any respec-
table quantity of metal seems i'm
probable, in spite of their greater
activity in the more open rocks near
the surface. These waters, rein.
forced by every rain and melting
snow, do not search the rocks nor
leach much value from them, because
they naturally choose the more
open space, enlarge them, and
create their own channels, in which
they remain permanently. When
these waters reach the groundwater-
level, they naturally spread out upon
it's surface, run of laterally There
being less impediment to their
course above this level), and reach
daylight again at lower level.
That an underground sea of water,
continuous and saturating the rocks
throughout, really does exist, seems
a corollary of the fact that the
water, once held entirely at the
earth's surface aud above It, has
gradually worked its way into the
cooling earth; the only argument
against 1t consists in the fact that
number of shafts have been sunk In
wet ground for many feet, aud at
greater depth encountered region
free from water. Cannot this be
explaiend by the probable existence
OF an impervious stratum at the
point where the water ceased? l
take IL that such occurrence simply
illustrates the very irregular contour
of the groundwater surface. These
shafts, II sunk still deeper, must
encounter water again, II the under.
ground sea of water does exist.
II then, the existence Of an ex-
tensive belt Of hydro. thermal fusion
be admitted, aud II It Is true that
this belt Is constantly supplied with
water by a permanent underground
sea, 1t will not be difficult to explain
the naturalization of our veins and
their localization. An extensive
movement In the crust creates a
profound and complicated set Of
fssures at certain points. These
fissures reach the belt Of fused rock.
The blocks Of solid rock above sink
into the fused mass, and squeeze 1t
in the assures toward the surface.
This makes the dikes and sheets
of eruptive rock as we find them near
the veins. simultaneously or later,
other assures, not sufficiently open
or In proper position to admit the
fused mass, start up the circulation
of the waters and begin the making
of a vein.
l have attempted to show that the
waters in the zone Of open fracture
do not search or leach the masses Of
rock, but that they flow through
them In permanent and open
channels; that the waters In the
middle and lower zones Of the
underground sea are stasnant and
not sufficiently effective; and that
We must look still deeper for the
source that could supply the immense
masses Of ore found In the veins.
The invariable existence and
evident genetic relation Of the erup-
tive rocks with our ore.deposits
suggest the source. II 10 the true

A BAD FIRE INVERTED.

About o'clock, Thursday evening, the family of Charles Benedict smelled paint burning in their sitting room and on Investigating found that some beams on one side of the main chim- ney had caught fire and were burning tiercely. A portion of the wall had to be torn off and hole knocked in the chimney before the fire could be ex- tinguished. It was narrow escape for the house and it's inhabitants. Had the fire not broken out until near mid night, when all would be asleep, no doubt but what the house would have burned to the ground. The building was insured through the agency of E. P. Shaw of Bedding, who has ordered the damage to be repaired.
 George Parmelee has been sick for some days, but is improving under the care of Dr Smith of Bedding.
 Flora French, daughter of Henry T. French, is sick with fever. Dr Schuyler is attending her.

EDITORIAL INK. DROPS.

There is no good reason why Water bury should have the normal school. Danbury is geographically the proper location, considering the positions of the other normal schools. Danbury's railroad facilities make it so accessible to the Housatonic valley, and is easily approached east and west and from the south. THE BEE editorially favored the Danbury location from the start and sees no reason to change the opinion. There is.an increasing demand for Normal school teachers, and the present schools have not sufficient facilities to meet the demand. A new school should be built, and in deter mining the location there are two considerations of prime importance It should be built where it can be con- veniently attended bya large number to whom the present schools are in- accessible by reason of their distance, and it should be built in locality where the percentage of Normal school teachers is, at present, small, so that their number may be increased readily from graduates whose homes are in that locality. The map and statistics on another page show that a school at Danbury would accommo- date more towns in the western part of the state, not easily accessible to New Haven or New Britain, than any other town. It is by reason of it's geo. graphical position and it's railroad ia cilities, the center of large territory which is now supplied with very small percentage of Normal school teachers because the present schools are so distant. Waterbury is only g miles from New Britain and 26 miles from New Haven.

Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con- sumption. Eat plenty of pork" was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago.
 Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most.
 Scott sEmulsionis themod- ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion.
 Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of codliver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special 1ction on the diseased lungs.
