THE MINERAL INDUSTRY.
$sG, ,eSe, OSa IN DIVIDENDs BY
 NINETY-SEVEN CONCERNS

The First Quarter-The Metal Mines
 and Treatment Works, with Consid-
 erabie Less Capital Than fhe Indus-
 trial Combinations, Yield Propor-
 tionntely Larger Dividends.
 Says the Engineering and Mining Journal:
 Dividend payments by companies engaged in the mineral industry of America in the first quarter of this year showed a grand total of S6,2S2, ,OSs, paid by ninety-seven concerns. Twenty-six combinations contributed over seventy six per cent. or s27. .6sO, 700, during pe- riod when some of the larger iron and steel consultations were compelled by a depression in business to postpone or reduce their regular dividend payments. Some combinations have considered it expedient to defer their seven per cent. preferred dividend. An exception is the e0AAAA1dA0 VII NOAllpdlly Nlll(lA Q1NIQES among q handful of stockholders from forty-three to forty-eight per cent. an- nually, although in March it paid quarterly dividend of sixteen per cent, Tor $15,520, 900. On the other hand, the United States Steel corporation, the second largest dividend payer in the world, has 42.720 preferred stockholders to whom 1t pays annually seven per cent, and in the current quarter dis bursed s6,3O5. 497. In all, there were thirty-seven industrial concerns that paid dividends this year of $26, ,659, APO, of which six were iron and steel works, reporting s7,49O, POT; fourteen oil and natural gas. $16,5s5,0S2; thirteen coal land coke, s1,97S,3S1, and four chemical and mineral s6O5.75O
 The metal mines and treatment works, with considerable less capital than the industrial combinations yield |proportionately larger dividends to their numerous stockholders Of the sixty mines and works reporting, there were forty-four gold, silver and lead proper ties which divided S4,34S,0O5; eleven copper, $4,903. .331, four zinc s311, ,S27, and lone quicksilver mine sixty thousand dollars. Usually the previous metal mines capitalized anywhere from five hundred thousand dollars to three mill lion dollars, pay monthly dividends which in three instances-one Colorado gold and two Utah silver mines-show an annual yield of thirty-six, thirty nine and forty per cent. on the par value of shares that sell at much less than the seven per cent. cumulative preferred stock issued by the industrial combinations

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

It is interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by the in- vention of articles of minOE impOr- tance. Many of the most popular de- vices are those designed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and one of the most interesting of these that has ever been invented is the Dr White Electric comb, patented January l, 1899. These wonderful combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous head aches, and when used with Dr White's Electric hair brush are positively guar anteed to make straight hair curly in 25 days time. Thousands of these electric combs have been sold in vari- ous cities of the Union, and the de- mand is constantly increasing. O0r agents are rapidly becoming rich sell.

Don't Take a Cold into the Summer.
 GET RID OF IT NOW

If you have the least bit of cough | or cold don't carry it into the sum- mer with you-better part with 1t now, right away. Linonine will drive it from you, clean your membranes of the irritations and chokes, restore your strength and build up your sys- tenn. It is food-medicine, rich in blook-making elements. Linonine's thoroughness in re-establishing health for those who are rundown from inces- sant coughs or draggy hang-on colds is certified to by thousands.
 Put me down as a firm believer in the superiority of Linonine as a builder for people who are rundown by persistent coughs or other facilitating causes. It has certainly wrought wonders with members of my family, one of whom it cured of chronic bronchitis and an- l JULIET u d OAlVoOCA1uS oOI ous lung trouble. In both instances it not only completely cured the difi- culties but brought increased flesh and renewed vitality. We have never had anything so effective or so agreeable to take.-J. c. Blinn, district agent, Etna Life Insurance Co.,, New Haven, Conn.
 Linonine saved my family from the effects of la grippe. It drove the dis ease away and built them up so that there were none of the distressing bad after-effects so many suffered from. We never had so beneficial medicine before, and take pleasure in telling our friends and acquaintances what a splendid remedy it is.-A. E. Win chester, superintendent Electric Light Co.,, South Norwalk, Conn.
 We have used Linonine in our family with such success during the past yeal that now we always keep it on hand
 For colds and bronchial coughs wt have found it invaluable.-Rev George w. Davenport, Rector St James Church, Danbury.
