MINING DIVIDENDS DURING APRIL

Investors in the mineral anr metal lurgical industries of the United States received in April dividends amounting to s5.5O5.045. Those who are preferred stockholders in the big combinations secured the bulk of these dividends, although a larg sum has also been paid to smaller investors. Three copper companies disbursed S575 900; 26 gold. silver and lead mines, $1,79O. .91S; one quicksilver prop erty in California s3O.000, and one zine mine. S120 ,402: making a total of s2.- 40S, ,320 Ofe the balance of S2.996, ,725 or 54.4 per cent, there was credited to four iron and steel concerns. sG77 ,120; four coal and coke, $1.025,OS3; eight petroleum. s6S,127 and eight chemical and mineral companies. s1.226 3S5. With the s5.505.045 disbursed in April the dividends since January 1 amount 10 the grand total of $51 ,347 ,221. This is somewhat less than last year, as fewer gold mines and coal and coke properties have reported. On the oth- CT hand, however, there have been more payments by close corporations, which do not publish their profits In addition to the above s265,S51 gold was paid in April by ten Mexican mines and metaIlurgical works, $15 900 by one Central American gold mine, and s305,600 by three Canadian in- dustrial concerns. Since January 1 the Mexican companies have paid sS72 .327; Central American. s60.000, and Canadian. s436, ,200-Engineering and Mining Journal.

was the group allowed to remain in

them to packing the silver and arti-
clcs of value that could be easily
moved. while she herself placed the
precious china in n strong box that
was kept ever ready for such emcr-

She threw open one OF the dining
