NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DIVIDEND.
Will Disburse 100000 Among It's
Shareholders Oct. %.


Another dividend payer has been
added to the list at Tonopah, the To-
nopah Extension company having
posted its initial dividend in the sum
Of 1Oc a share or 100000 yesterday.
The sum mentioned will be paid OUT
on October E5th, the date being ser
SO far ahead, it is believed, in order
TO give distant share holders chanc :
to get their holdings recorded on the
books of the company.
The Tonopah- Extension company is
controlled by Chas M. Schwab, John
Y. McKane and other millionaire op-
orators, and the mine is said to be
one Of the best in the new camp.
With the Extension in the ranks of
the dividend earners, Tonopah now
boasts three mines in that class and
four, if the Nevada Alpine at Lone
mountain, a few miles out of camp,
is to be included. The latter is con.
trolled practically by the O'Mearars
and j. T. Lynch of Tonopah and was
the first of all the new mines in that
section to pay a dividend, it's I'M
ltial distribution amounting to $75, 700
For a section that was unknown five
years ago the record is good one.

Assiduous Politeness.

A few evenings since, several ladies'
were discussing the question OF gen..
tlemen giving up their seats to ladies'
in a street car.
One lady remarked that her hus-
band always gave his seat to a lady
in a street car. Whereupon Mrs. Gray.
wife of the well contractor, remark
ed. my husband is better than that.
When he gives up his seat, two la.
dies can occupy it,
You have to understand Gray's
breadth of beam to really appreciate
the joke. It reminds one of the tins
when a woman weighing about three
hundred pounds came in and an Irish
man remarked
'Tn be one of the two gentlemen
to give this lady seat"
