The past week has been rather
eventful in a mining way.
The years work was rounded up
by the stockholders OF the Ken
lucky Fluor Spar company, and a
generous dividend declared and
paid. The annual meeting was
held on Wednesday. and all Of the
capital stook was represented.
There were present MrThomas ID.
Jones, OF Chicago, representing
about one half OF the stock, and
Msssrs. Maxwell, Blue, Mum and
Watkins, Of Marion. owning the
balance. Some transfers OF the
stock were made few weeks ago,
the price paid being $l35 per
share. OF $35 premium.
Ii was anticipated that a 80 per
cent. dividend would be declared
on this, the first year OF the exist
snce Of the consolidated compa-
MES 1t was stated that but ten
per cent. was declared, owing 10
the addition during the year Of a
very complete separating plant at
the oompAny's works in Marion,
which probably cost very nearly
the difference. The company's
many mines are we'll provided with
machinery and everything points
to a still greater success for the
ensuing year.
On the same day the frat ann L
