been drawing down fat dividends for
some time, the Combination company is
the first corporation to declare a divi-
dcnd This dividend, which will be
continued quarterly, is for $40 900, or 10
per cent of the company capitalization.
While 10 per cent quarterly dividends
are not common in most mining camps,
the Combination dividend Is vet more
remarkable when all the facts are taken
into consideration. There was practi-
cally no development on that property
when the companybondcd it on October
26th lO3-nothing but IL 50-fOot open
cut tunnel. The development bas not
only paid for the mine with the cxcep-
ton of the first payment OF $1,000 but
has provided the funds to pay for Il
modern and substantial stamp mill as
well as other improvements. In addi-
tion to this. there is still Il handsome
reserve in the treasury and at least
$500 600 worth of mill ore going from

to say nothing OF the high grade ore on
the dump and in transit. There have
been some other mines, perhaps, that
have equaled the Continuation in its
first years history, but they are mighty
few.
Another Dividend.
The Ogden-Goldfeld Mining company,
close corporation which owns the
Zinn lease on the Jumbo, last Friday de-
clared dividend of 10000 or 800 per
share, on its stock. With ore to the
value of more than $500 per ton going
out weekly from this lease, these divi
dends will continue with regularity un-
til the lease expires in April, next.
The Northwest and Southeast Sections
Among the recent developments of
the district, the discovery of the Tono-
pah Club is of singular interest and i'm
portance. 1t is possibly not only one of
the greatest gold mines yet discovered
here, but owing to the peculiar geologi-
cal conditions surroending it, is of spe-
cial Importance. The ledge is probably
100 feet wide and crops prominently for
400 feet or more in length. While val
ues are found irregularly, the entire
width, the main ore shoot lies to the
east side and shows values in free gold
running from $50 to $3.50 for width of
80 feet. But the peculiar interest at
taching to the discovery is the form of
the ore occurrence. In a shaley slate-4
to feet thick-the greatest values are
found. Behind this is the usual quartz
porphyry formation, the whole being
overlaid on the hanging side by gypsum
-sulphate of lime-from 6 to 8 feet
thick
While the gold is free, iron sulphides
show up in places, right at the surface.
These three points-the occurrence of
free gold in slate, lime sulphate con-
tact and the existence of sulphides at
the surface-is the peculiar geological
interest attaching to the discovery.
Mr.. J. p. Lotus who ventures this
comment says the discovery is certain
to affect line OF development at other
points in the district heretofore over
looked. The same conditions surround
ing the Tonopah Club are common, he
saws, to the southeast. These same
states there occur frequently and beds
of gypsum overlie the region plentifully,
while sulphide neutrality-suspicious.

Preparatory Trials.

1t is a comforting truth that God so
orders and governs the disciplinary
trials of his people as to make those
in early life especially preparatory to
the greater trials which are to follow.
AS a general thing, the earlier trials,
though perhaps considerably severe,
are less poignant, prolonged and pain
full than are the ones which come to
the heart in later years. There is a
graduation of trial, thus fitting the
tried one for coming and larger trials,
to endure them with stronger faith
and sitter courage than he would f
it had not been for the previous trials.
We have examples of this kind in the
history of some of the prominent Old
Testament saints. Abraham was sub
jected to a series of comparatively
small trials before the great and ex-
bausting trial of Offering his only son,
Isaac, as q sacrifice. He may have
thought that the trials which he had
been experiencing were particularly
severe and, doubtless, some of them
were piercing; probably the later
ones were keener and more crucial
than the former ones were and, hence,
they prepared him, as nothing else
could have done, for the terrible trial
OF offering up Isaac. In the case
of Moses, we also see that be expert.

preparatory to his supreme task and
trial of leading Israel out OF Egypt.
That was a painful trial which he
underwent just before he fled into
the desert, when he killed an Egyp-
tian, supposing that he. himself, was
going ahead as a deliverer of his peo-
pie; but he was not yet prepared
Alright for the great achievement; he
must be tried forty years longer as
a fit preparation for conquest and tri.
umph. And to-day those Christians
who have achieved marked success in
the spheres to which God has called
them had preparatory trials in line
with their coming work and welfare.
The greater trials connected with
their present positions were preced-
ed by series of lesser ones, giving
them a drilling of thought and char
acter which no hall of learning could
impart.
Let every young Christian welcome
all trial as a needed preparation for
the further trials which a great work
may yet bring to him.

silently left the room.

they saw Morris fire again.
Like sharp echo came an answer
ing shot from Blake. He had half
fallen, with his right knee and left
hand on the marble floor. Morris's
second shot was aimed over his head
at John Burt, who had dashed at Nor
ris and was almost over the wavering
figure of his friend.
When Blake fired, Morris arms
went up with jerk. His revolver
fell with crash on the floor.
"God!" Morris cried.
Like a column pushed from its base

lay motionless.

"and guess he's got me! Are you

He again raised his weapon I'M
steadily, and pitched forward into
John Burt's arms.
"Stand back and give the man air!'
roared John Hawkins, pushing aside
the morbid crowd which surged
around the motionless bodies. Bear
a hand, John, we'll take Jim to my
ROOM"
With bated breath John watched
the surgeon as he opened the waist
coat and cut away the blood-soaked
shirt. For a moment he laid his
head against Blake's breast. 1t seem
ed an age before the answer came.
"He lives" said the surgeon, reach
ing for an emergency case. He held
a vial to Blake's nostrils, and the
watchers saw the faint shudder which
told of a halt in the march Of death.
Then the breast heaved convulsively,
and James Blake opened his eyes and
looked squarely into John Burt's face.
Hello, joint" he said family.

"You must keep quiet, JIM" said
John Burt, tenderly clasping Blake's
hand and pushing back the damp
locks from his forehead. "You are a
long way from being dead, old man,
but you must reserve your strength
and obey the surgeons"
Il don't want a surgeon-not now

and a quickening intelligence in his
dark eyes. Hello, Hawkins! You

Morris gazed at James Blake and
for a moment seemed incapable Of
speech.
I'll think you lie, Blake" he
stammered, after a long pause.
Blake rafsed his eyes and saw John
Burt and MIR. Hawkins entering the
room. Pausing not second to weigh
the consequences, he grasped Morris
by the shoulders and whirled hem
around.
Morris threw one arm behind him,
but Blake. scernful Of his opponent,
and thinking only OF the dramatic eli
max which offered itself, took no
warning.
Calm yourself, Morris" he said
soothipgly. "Anger does not become

for here comes our mutual friend,
John Burt! Hello, john"
Blake released his grasp and Nor
ris drew back in defiant attitude.
With careless contempt Blake ignored
Morris, and his eyes followed John
Burt and Hawkins as they came
towards him.
At the call of his name John turned
and saw Blake. His face lighted with
a smile as he stopped and then
walked towards the group.
The muscles of Morris face
twitched. and desperate look came
to his eyes. With quick motion his
arm come from behind his back and
something gliSered in his hand.

smile on his lips. He heard the click
of metal and saw the fash of polished
steel as Morris raised his arm and

The GOSPEL.

Have you ever fully realized that
the very essence of the gospel is not
something to be believed, not pro-
gram for living. but the publication of
a gift to be received? We are asked
to believe something, but the essential
thing to be believed, after all, is that
God means what he says when he
asks us to accept his gifts. Once
when Mr.. Moody was in the city Of
Glasgow he emphasized so much the
word take" that lady came to him
to ask if that word was in the Bible.
He turned to the last chapter Of Reve-
lation and quoted to her the familiar
words, whatsoever will, let him take
of the water of life freely" The
woman admitted that she had never
noticed the word before. That is the
way many people are caused to Stun
BILE. They see only what reflects their
own conviction or mood, while all the
time God is seeking to have them take
his gifts. and particularly his greatest
gift-the pardon of sin.
