The Go mstock Dividend

After cessation of dividend pay ing for period of twenty-four years, the old bonanza has declared a hand some dividend. The outlook, more over, seems good for continuance of profits, thus justifying the patience aud indomitable courage of the stockholders.
 The Comstock has produced upwards of $350, ,0O0, 900 in gold and silver, and the new discoveries bid fair to add ma terially tO that sum. In spite, too, of the enormous amount of work done by the old C0mstockers, that vein seems to be no exception to the law of longevity which governs the mines of the world. A bonanzs never seems to die.
 For examples we may point to Corn wall, South America. Mexico and lastly. to the mines of Matabeleland, in South Africa. These last, after having been worked by prehistoric race, are now, lying after dormant for thousands of years, adding ma terially to the wealth of the world. - Mining Reporter.

PIERCING OF FINAL
A. E. Wiley Thinks the Railroad Will
 Make It a Great Mining Region

A. E. Wiley, of Globe, well known mining engineer, arrived in town yes terday. Mir. Wiley is associated with Mir. Syvier in charge of the Gaylord properties, which lately sold for S20O, 900. It may be mentioned that be is nephew of Dr. Wiley, of the agri- cultural department, who is engaged in conducting series of food experi- ments.
 MT. Wiley believes that Globe is go- ing to soon see new era in the min ing business, and he thinks, for that matter, that Pinsl county will quickly be heard from now that the Phoenix x Eastern is penetrating what he be- lieves to be one of the richest mining regions of the territory.
 Not only will great deal of capital be attracted to that part of Arizona, but there is already a great deal of capital invested in mines there.
 On the same subject Col. James A. flemlng sald last nlght that the peO- pie of this city did not seem to realize the opportunity that the road has thrown open to Phoenix to be what it has never been before, supply point for great mining region.
 One thing that will make the coun- try along the line of the road great is that there is plenty of water every where for the operation of mines.
 It is perhaps no violation Of conh- deace to state that MT. Wiley has not come to Phoenix on mining business this time. He is not even thinking of mining. He is on his way to Prescott to be married. The bride will be Miss Maymie McIntier, daughter of Rev. E. 0. McIntie,, formerly paster of the Methodist church at Globs.- .-Repub. lican.

 ton Copper Era.
 The excitement over the big gold
 strike strike in the San Juan country,
 Cochise county, continues unabated.
 William Lutley and John Sanderson
 paid Douglas a visit recen ty and stated that all the stories published
 were not exaggerated in the least.
 Ever since Sanderson made the dis covery which showed the San Juan to
 be one of the richest mines in that section the owners have been working on the ledge and it shows no sign Of diminishing in value. There are about six hundred pounds of the very rich ore, which was distributed in Doug las on the dump, which will be ready for shipping at once. They have taken out several tons of ore that runs as high as 5000 to the ton, and this will be sent away for reduction. One man who visited the property brought a sample of the ore that picked off the dump which contained more gold than rock. Since making the first strike great many people have Hooked into the San Juan country and they have taken up all the sur rounding land.
 One of the biggest propositions sug- gested in the Morenci- Clifton country in long time is now bsing prepared for presentation to capital by Sur veyor Millner, of Clifton, says the Standard. It is fiye-mile tunnel, which Mir. Millner figures would bring in an immense amount of new ore and lose no time in getting on a pay ing basis to owners and patrons. MT. Millner has finished survey for the proposed tunnel aud is now complet- ing other matters of detail necessary to the plans before they can be placed in the hands of capitalists. The sur yey for the tunnel carries it from the Rattlesnake group on Chase creek to Placer gulch, back of Morenci. Over forty claims would be directly cut by the tunnel, while drifts would easily reach to many more. These properties are all in the hands of owners outside of the large companies in .he district. The tunnel would most unquestion- ably open up some great ground and | provide way for the profitable oper- ation of many properties in range of | It that are now idle because of the | lack of means of the individual own CTS to go ahead with development un- der existing conditions. A conserv- atiye estimate on the cost of the tun. nel is considered $500 900.

 "You must not think you can run away from me-" she said.

The Mountain Monarch.

Unlike the Jungfrau, the Righi or other European mountains, including Vesuvius, which have been conquered by the modern engineers and now wear the harness of a railway to or near their summits, Mont Blanc is an abso- lute monarch, and no mortal may set the limit of it's reign. The Goths and Vandals of old, the armies, the tourists of today or tomorrow may pour down through the Alpine defiles, but Mont Blanc through all such changes is mon- arch still, it's snow capped peaks rising far above all else and the avalanches down it's sides, more to be feared than any of it's other dangers, defying the skill and courage of many a climber.
