ing receive ed every day and consumers
claim that tits better than the western

Besides being a big advantage to
Florida dealers in being able to sell
fancy smoked and cured meats at
reasonable prices, this establishment
has proved itself almost a Godsend to
the raisers Of meat IN this section of
the state, as they row have market

The plant is being enlarged and inn
proved constantly, the latest addition
being a $50 horse power Hamilton

bonds, holders of which refused to turn
them into the company when the bal
anCe Of the $S20.0O0 per cent issue was
retired last year. A director says:
The management of the United
States Mining company has been very
conservative and did not care TO de-
clare a dividend until the company was
free Of floating debt The plan is to
continue to pay small dividends and
lay up a comfortable surplus for work
ing capital, which will not take long,
considering that the company is now
earning from $4,000 to S10O, 600 net per
month. We hope to shortly improve on
these earnings through an increase in
our furnace capacity. We averaged to
run last month about four and one-half
furnaces, but Managing Director HOl
den was present at the meeting and re-
ported affairs at the smelteT were run
ming much smoother and he expected
10 run the furnaces on an average Of
five and One-half furnaces per day for
July and thereafter.
we have been operating on an aver
age of $3.50 to 50 ore from our Bingham
mines and have been obliged to do this
as 1t was necessary to get these ores
out of the way before reaching our
richer ores. We have over 100000 tons
of ore in our Bingham mines which
viii run an average of s. per ton in
value, and within three or four months
we viii be able to operate entirely on
this class of ore, which viii add to our
earnings from $500, 900 to S4OO, 600 per
annum. On s. Bingham ore we have
been simply getting the full value from
our rich Centennial-Eureka product
and making nothing from our Bingham
ores, but this condition viii soon be

ices as receiver of the company.
Il have never discussed the vaRe OF

said he, and I have never demanded
81 900 per month or any other sum
from them. Mr.. Mucklow did ask me
what I considered my services worth
and l told him that that was a matter
for the court 10 decide I admit hav-
ing told my lawyers what I thought
I should have and while I do not want
TO say what it was, I can tel you now
that 1t was not 81 900 per month. When
the matter comes into court for final
settlement, as it Will necessarily have
to do. my claim viii be presented and
argued and ultimately decided by the
court That is all there is to that mat
ter.
1T has also been stated that I had
demanded the position Of sCperinten-
dent or manager of the property as a
further consideration of my services
as receiver. That is also absolutely
untrue. Mr.. AIucklOw was asking
what ! would expect IN case II was
found advisable TO continue the re-
ownership for a few months. and oper-
ate the mines at the same time. I sug-
gested 10 him that an such an event il
would be better TO give me some sort
of position; that il would be better
than having me hold the receivership
