Nine Treasure Getters Distributed

Astrict--the Utah, and one from the

The distribution by the Tetro share
holders was the initial one for that
company, and the probabilities are that
the mine win continue TO appear in the
dividend column for an indefinite per-
iod. The treasury Of the company con-
tains at the present time surplus OF
about $4,000, and the shipments of ore
are being forwarded to the smelters.
with the usual regularity IL has been
the boast OF the management OF the

would be paid by that company until
the property was IN condition to keep
them up. This policy Is being adhered

Compared to next month the dividend
distribution OF June is small. The Utah
