We are in the tbroes of stock taking. but you would never know it, except from the little bargain lots that come and go as the search ing process of inventorying brings them to light and the customers carry them off.
 It's a great time for odds and ends of things. We can't adver- tise them. because they don't last long. but they are rich things to find. Yesterday. for instance. we had a table full of little things at 1ci each--notions and fancy goods. chiefly-the original prices on some of which were as high as 25c. There was another table of Art Embroi- dery goods at 10c and l21a c-origi- nal prices up to 75c.
 There will be more of these tab les on Wednesday. This should be hint enough.

More specific mention may be made of the bargain tables in small silver-ware-25c, 3oc and even Soc desk and toilet articles for 10c. The variety in this case is good and the quantities quite extensive.

Journal for Investors tells the fol- lowing pertinent truths regarding the premature payment Of dividends and it will be well for arrangements of mines to bear these fact in mind:
 Mining companies are organized for profit which is a legitimate and mucn- to-be-desired result of mining opera tions, but haste to pay dividends is sometimes retroactive, and works more harm than good. When a mine is acquired. by purchase or otherwise, if it is not already equipped, it must be provided with the necessary ma chinery, buildings, etc. Then. if the mine is in sufficiently advanced cen dition to afford Q continuous supply of payable ore, dividends may be con sideTed, but the unfortunate expert ence of many companies which have prematurely declared dividends-that is, disbursed the first available profits in dividends, making TO provision for Q possible change in existing ccndi- ;ions-has shown the wisdom of with holding sum sufficient to rebuild the surface plant or to tide over any tenn porary and unforeseen Interruption in the progress of mining and reduction of the ores.
 The wisest companies create a sink ing fund, employing a stated percent age Of profits, or settin gaside a monthly sum for the purpose. Deter ioration is one of the things that must be given onsideration, and pos sible extension of change in the char acter of the plant are even more i'm portant considerations. Stockholders are always willing to accept dividends, and in the majority Of instances, it is their wish that dividends be forth coming soon and often, but there are few stockholders who cheerfully sub nit to an assessment, even when they realize that the money is to be used in extending the plant to the ultimate advantage cf the stockholders them selves
  is embarrassed and handicapped by the demands Of the directors and stockholders of his company for divi- dends. In one instance, says the Journal for Investors, an important and absolutely necessary imorpve- ment-the sinking of a new shaft was delayed and the project was final ly abandoned after having been start ed, for the reason that the company demanded certain profits be distri- huted in dividends, and later, when the mine ceased paying because of the great expense of operating through the crooked old shafts, the stockhold- CTS refused CT were unable to put up" the money necessary to sink the new shaft, and the mine was closed down, and remains closed, but this is only one instance Of many Of the same kind.

The manner in which the com mencement has been made on the new shaft for the Copper Queen would in- dicate that the company's intention is to have the undertaking completed and in readiness for the extraction Of are from the virgin ground that will De tapped through this working. at the earliest possible period. A
 orce o twenty-five men are busily engaged on the site selected for the new shaft and progress is being made iu so favorable a manner as will in a short time warrant starting a gang of men at the work of sinking.
 The force of twenty-five workmen who have been employed on the ground during the past several days have accomplished a considerable amount of excavation work for the
 lurpose of building a suitable site for the shaft. The location of the new working point is on the south side of Sacramento Hill on an elevation about one hundred feet higher than the Bis bee Improvement company's ice plant, which is situated some three hundred yards away. Being on the slope of the bluff, much blasting and excayat- Ing was necessary for procuring an even grade of sufficient proportions to provide ample space for erecting a hoist, and additional facilities requir- ed for the operation of a shaft.
 Up 10 the present time about one half of the grading fer the new shaft has been completed and another week will probably see work started cutting down. The erecting of machinery and structures for properly housing the same will also be undertaken shortly. Grading has already been done a- point about two hundred feet Tom the site of the shaft, where a building is to be erected and where the timbers for the mine will be fram- ed and prepared for installing. A roadway has also been built to a con venient point, and all machinery and supplies can readily be transferred over this route.
 The shaft will be of four compart- ments, and will be sunk to considera- ble depth. Much virgin ground be- longing to the company will be tapped by means of the workings that will doubtless be run from the shaft, and it is not unlikely that a connection will be made with the Gardner shaft by means of 9 drift The Gardner is To- cated a considerable distance west, and the vast tract lying between the two points doubtless contains much valuable mineral.
 It VIII be several months before the shaft will have been sunk to the re- iuired depth, and longer still ere the workings will be turning out a regu- ar production, but the present year will doubtless witness the fortbccl- ing of a fine output of ore monthly. The operations here will be about as important as any on Copper Queen territory, anG will result in big addi- lion to the company's already enorm- ous output. A good sized force of men will be required to carsy the work forward. and this means an increase in the inhabitants of Lowell Of no small proportions, while the whoie en- terprise will result in no little good to the entire camp.

Gathered in a rubber blanket on the

terribly disfiEured is this last victim
found at the scene of the wreck that
in all probability It's identity will never
be positively effected.
1t was a first thought that these
remains were parts Of one Of the
bodies previously recovered. lnvesti.
cation at the morgue, however, showed
that this could not be the case.
The coroners were inclined to the
belief that this body Is that of a WON.

must have been a tramp riding on the

sengor could in their opinion have
been thrown where this body was
found. 1t was the unmistakable odOr
OF burned flesh that led the wrocking
crew to a realization Of the fact that
another body lay under the wrecked
engines, where Engineer Stoddard and
Fireman Burns, of the ]eastbouni train,
were found When they had uncov'

NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
Movements of W~nTshipd on both
sides of the ISthmu~,

Washington, Dec. 29.-The fleets of
warships on both sides of the isthmus
of Panama will shortly be REINFORCED
by several vessels on their way TO
that quarter. The gunbOat Topeka, of
the Atlantic training squadron, left Key
West, Sunday, for Colon, by way OF
Kingston, as convoy Of the torpedo
boat deStrOyers TruXtOn and Stewart,
which have been assigned to patrol
duty on the Caribbean coast Of the 18TH
mus. The gunboat Castine arrived at
Colon, Sunday, from Philadelphia none
the worse for her recent grounding on
a bar in the Delaware river, The big
collier Caesar has left Culebra for
Colon with coal for the feet, The con-
verted cruiser Dixie left League Island
to-day for Colon with the Panama ma
rine brigade, numbering about SEQ men,
in command of Brig Gen. Elliott.
Naval movements in the direction Of
the isthmus have been almost as active
on the Pacific coast. The gunboat
Petrol, bound for Panama, arrived at
Acapulco, Mexico, on the 10Th inst,
and undoubtedly has left there by this
time. The flagship New York, the gun
boat Bennington, the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Preble and Paul Jones and the
collier Saturn, have been fitted out
at San Francisco for service in the vi
clnity of Panama and it is expected
that all of them will start south in a
day or two.
