THE ONTARIO SILVER MINING co,


II one ever questioned the mining
wealth OF Utah they have only to refer
TO the Ontario mine owned by the on
tario Silver Mining company to be
convinced that no state IN our Union is
richer in mineral wealth, and that, II
properly conducted, mining is one OF
the best inVetments this state offers
Up TO date this company has paid diyi-
bends amounting TO Sla, 9S2 10000 and
this on a capitalization Of 10000 shares
OF par value of 500 per share.
In 1901 the company paid 100000 and
IN 1902 $500 There have been no
ore shipments so far this year. but
they will be shortly resumed. The
company IL now erecting a large con-
centrator TO treat It's low-grade ores.
II Is expected by the end Of 1908, the
mine will be producing with fun
equipment, This is in addition TO the
enormous expenditure on development,
machinery and tunnel work, the mine
having two drain tunnels, one complet-
ed several years ago over 5000 feet In
length and which drained all the water
above the 800 foot level The other
completed six years ago has been ex-
tended so as to drain all the properties

This year will witness the completion
of another great smelling enterprise In

single company In the state. Work OF

u~HE mining industry In Utah was

kHV HE mining industry In Utah was
never in more flourishing
condition than It is at the pres
ent time. Progress has been
truly wonderful during the past
nine months; the treasure
vaults OF the mountains have
given up their precious con-
tents more literally than ever before
in the same period Of time. II is a
golden story that has come from the
camps far and near and 1t is but partly
told IN the table Of dividends paid,
which accompanies this article.
II is safe TO say that the mines Of
this state have already produced more
wealth this year than they did all Of
last, That is surely marvellous record
OF advancement: but the statement is
amply borne out In making COMPARE
son of the amount of dividends which
have found their way into the pockets
OF shareholders In some OF the states
largest producers.
Think of 81 Ten Utah mines have
distributed $500, 500 since Jan, I, last,
as against .2,49S, 900 paid by nine mines
during the same period last year; an in
crease Of almost $l00O,0OO, But these
figures do not represent all the divi-
dends checked out during the year
There are quite number Of close corr
porations doing business In Tlntlc,
Bingham and elsewhere, which do not
make practise OF letting the general
public know Just what they are doing
or what their earnings really are.
Unquestionably. II the books Of these
concerns were open and the truth were
known the foregoing figures Of the
present years production Of velvet"
would be materially increased; yes, to,
more than si,OOOOOO. The Gemin, one
of the corporations Of the latter class,
is probably the largest dividend payer
IN Tintic and from well Informed
sources the information comes. that
its treasurer has checked out at least
$3.50, 900 in dividends since the begin
ming of 1903. This Is but one among
the big ones; Senator Clark's Ophir-liill
at Ophlr is another mine about which
little is known as regards to It's dlyl-
dend paying capabilities, but 1t Is one

Copper Belt Railway to the principal
mines OF the district, great under
taking, Is drawing TO a close and by the
end Of the month will be open TO traffic
for the ores of the Boston Con-, which
will then commence sending its ores to
the valley smelters. The Bingham Con.
has made great progress in the way of
development and the Utah Consolidated
has more than surprised its manage
ment. Such enormous ore reserves have
been opened that 1t was decided some
time ago to enlarge the capacity OF the
company's smelter. The plant has been
handling ore to the amount of 500 tons
per day and this Is to be increased to
800 tons.
The plans are now complete and II Is
only matter of a few days until the
contracts will be let for construction
and equipment.

most wonderful mine with which his
name has ever been associated. Early
In the year plans We're laid for the

of treating from 1000 to 1900 tons of
ore daily. These plans are well-nigh
matured and the preliminary work Is
we'll advanced for the building of an
