ANNUAL MEETING
The Montana. TOnOpah Shows a Splen.
did Cash Balance.

The good news spread before the
shareholders of the Montana Tono-
pah company at its annual meeting,
held in this city yesterday, caused
not little rejoicing, and when it
came TO the election of directors and
officers for the ensuing year the old
guard was returned without a dis
senting vote and claimed the hearty
congratulations of all present. OF
the S35, 900 shares issued in the com
pany $50, 900 were represented.
The financial exhibit was a most
gratifying one, as was also the report
of Charles E. Knox, the president,
general manager, and founder Of the
company. The former report showed
that during the year Of the company's
existence 102, 900 shares of the treas
ury stock had been sold for $51, 900,
receipts from the sale of ores amount
ing to $34, 009 56, while $2l4 80 was
reported from miscellaneous sources,
making the total receipts of the year
$50, ,224 O6.
The total disbursements amounted
to $86, 42O 50. OF that sum s47, ,5l9 80
was expended in the operations of the
property and was charged to labor
aud supply account. The amount
disbursed on straight mining account
amounted to $37 ,9l4 55 of the sum
named previously, making the entire
cost Of performing 2,5O9 feet of work
in the mine, including 600 feet of shaft,
averaging only sl8 93 per foot-a
record that is nos often heard of in
camps as isolated as is Tonopah.
While the receipts appear at first
glance to have been less than the ex-
penditures for the year, they look
different when it is explained that
the report also shows that there is at
the present time no less than $500
tons of ore on the dumps at the mine
which net, after all charges are paid,
$25 per ton, or total of 500, 600. In
addition to that there are now at
the sampler in this valley and in
transit from the mine, ores of a net
value of $16, ,260, so that, had it been
possible to make cleanup before
the day set for the meeting, it would
have been shown that the treasury
was at least $50, 600 to the good.
1t must be remembered, also, that
up to date not single pound of ore
has been stopped in the mine, all ship
ments and accumulations Of ore having
been the result of development work
alone. Full reports of the years op-
erations, as shown. in the officers
statements, will be prepared in pam
phlet form and mailed to all share
holders in the company within the
next few days.
The officers and directors of the
company are C. E. Knox, president
and general manager; A. c. Ellis, Jr,
vice president; r. p. Dunlap. secre-
tary and treasurer; George F. Bad

Early in August, 1901. ground was
broken for the first house in this City
of Peace. The city is plated on exact
geometric lines, with two great boule-
wards through the center. These are
crossed By two other boulevards at
angles of forty-hYe degrees. The east

one to so. First street being on the

town.
Seven thousand six hundred and
twenty-eight acres are included in the
city limits.
Like a swarm of bees the Zionists
descended on their land to build new
city, and it sIrang up like a mush-
room.
Dowie called upon his followers from
all parts of the country to move to
Zion. and they came. He had adopted
advanced ideas of health. cleanliness.
and sanitation from the Mormons and
improved upol them.
Zion City seemed builded literally
and really upon the sands. There was

Chicasoans could not see how Zion
could be self-supportirg. Again
Dowic showed his resourccfulness. He
was related by marriage to one Stew
enson. a Nottingham lacemaker. and
Dowie decided that lacemaiirg should
be the principal industry OF Zion City.
He went to England, enlisted Stew
enson in the scheme, purchased new
and improved lace machinery. and
began importing skilled laborers to
educate his people in the art. He
built great brick building for his lace
factory To the east of the Northwestern
railway and prepared to start the in
dustry. His enemies made deter
mined fight to keep out his lace ma
chinery. declaring against his inpor-
tation OF skilled laborers. and seeking
to force him TO Fay high tariff on his
machinery.
Dowie went to Washington, saw
certain persons, and the workers and
the machinery came through. Re was
starting an Infant industry" He then
began to teach his unskilled people. re-

army officer was invalid, and that, to
save her name, she married John Muir
ray Dowie.
John Murray Dowie was a Congrc'
gational minister of comfortable for
tune, and young Dowie received fair
foundation for his education under
him and in the board schools of his
native town. In 1860 the family re-
moved to Adelaide, Australia, and for
seven years young Dowie served as a
clerk in a mercantile establishment.
In 1867, when he was 20 years old,
Dowie returned to Scotland. and, on
the money ne had saved while work
ing in Australia, took a five years
course in the university.
Dowie. on graduation from the d.
vinity school, at once took orders in
the Congregational church, and, in
1872, returned to Australia and began
preaching at Congregational church
in Newtown, suburb of Sydney. He
continued in his work with success,
his magnetic oratorical powers draw
ing large crowds wherever he
preached.
In 1878 (by divine direction, he
says) Dowie suddenly deserted the
Congregational church and started as
an evangelist, preaching healing by
faith. His power at once attracted at
tention. He declares that he first
learned of his power to heal by cur
ing a girl OF a wasting disease that
had already killed thirty members of
his congregation. Since that time faith
healing has been the cardinal doc
trine of Dowie. He went to Mel
bourne, built a big, rude-looking tab
ernacle, and began his work. II ten
years he had built up a large congre-
CATION. but he was not satisfied. He
deserted his tabernacle. leaving it in

started for England. He had money,
but not 4 large amount.
1t was in 1890 that Dowie dawned
upon Chicago. Out in Western Springs,
little prairie suburb at that time.
Dowie started in Ito fight sin" in Chi

year Dowic moved upon Evanston. and
there he remained until the spring of

dozen followers, he rented house
down near the Midway, and, almost
with his own hands, he built Zion tab

erected.
