Montana-Tonopah Will Improve Mine
First.
The new board Of directors of the
Montana-Tonopah corlpany held its
first formal E.eeting since the annual
election in this city last month in
Tonopah on Monday. 1t had been gen.
erally expected that when the direct
Ors met that another dividend IF
100000 would be declared, but it was
not, and the minority interests hero
that made the contention in the an
nual meeting that if the Knox element
won out, dividends would cease and
the market value of the stock would
drop, has been verified When the San
Francisco exchange closed yesterday
the stock stood at $2.35 bid and $237h
asked, this as against selling value
of $3O5, when the annual meeting was
held
This condition of affairs does not, OF
course, mean that there has been any
deterioration in the value of the mine,
at all. 1t is the result Of the change
in policy, policy that President Knox
and his adherents contended would
eventually give the company higher
standing than it could hope to have
by paying out its earnings in div
dends previous to the building Of
strong treasure reserve. The reports
Of the previous manager of the prof.
ETY. tended to show that the company
could pay quarterly dividend OF
$1,000 and build up big reserve at
the same time and it was shown tina.
such could be done for . number of
years on the present showing of the
mine
Mr.. Knox made his first fight for
control on the proposal to give the
company a conservative administra-
ton, contending that much work re-
NAMED to be done in the mine to
make it safe and convenient to operate
and that means would also have 20
be provided to build a milling plant
He considered that, under such con-
ditions it would be better to defer
| the payment of dividends for time.
| He was elected by large majority
and he has now undertaken to fulfill
the promises he made to his friends
before the annual meeting was held
AS the mine is undoubtedly earning
handsomely it is reasonable to expec,
that dividends will be resumed early
the coming year.-Salt Lake Herald

The attention of the people is now

undoubtedly be opened up.

SOME SUGGESTIONS.
Wha. Can be Done to Bring Trade to
This City.

MS City.
Yesterday a citizen of this city,
who has the interest Of the community
at heart. and who desires to see bet
ter things. met the News and Appeal
reporters together. He Immediately
wanted to know what the Improve
ment club was going to do to benefit
the town. Neither of the scribes
could answer his direct question.
He then walked them down the
street and pointed out the Como range
which is only few miles to the East
OF this CITY. He then stated that I'M
der the towering summit of the range
lays the town of Como, where there is
more activity at the present time
than any camp in THE neighborhooi
His suggestion was, Build a road 20
-sSne camp and send in the freight AMI
supplies from this city"
The suggestion was good one and
one that the new organization can
act on. Como is destined to become
one Of the big camps of Western
Nevada and Carson is but twelve
miles away as the crow flies, while
to reach the camp it is necessary 10
go to Dayton and then up a long
canyon to he high summit All
freight and supplies go in that way
and will until there is new road
built that is more direct and one that
can be travelled without days work.
The plan is more than feasible ami
should be given consideration.
There is another suggestion that
can be taken up at no great expense
and one that was suggested by thu
Appeal some time ago. That is to fix
up the Kings Canyon road. The prop
erty that. was owned by Mrs. Short
at Glenbrook has been sold to a syn
dictate of the people who are interested
in other properties about Lake Tohoe
1t is certain that the people do not
intend that this valuable piece OF
property shah remain idle, and there
is rush en- to ga.her in lake frontage
property, as Tahoe is the coming re
sort of the West Near the State
Line House California syndicate has
purchased acreage enough from Dave
Parks to erect a Monte Carlo, as the,

authorities and will move on to tbs

larson can come in for more thai
: share of the trade that will arts,
from this new section. The best an,
scenic way to reach the lake shor;
is by the Kings canyon route. 1t ca
be placed in first class order for
few hundred dollars and the one OF
jectionable hill in the grade jus
above the Heidenreich place. can B
cut down and make a splendid higi
way from Carson to GlenbroOk. An
one who has ever taken a trip owe
this rute will never go the Clearcree
way as the scenery and conditions al
far better in every respect.
These suggestions can be taken an
worked into practical business tbs
will benefit this city many thOusan-
of dollars every season.

THE FIGHT TONIGHT.
Perfect Reproduction Of the Famous
Britt-Nelson Contest.


The people who really enjoy sport
and who could not see the Britt-Nelson
combat few weeks ago, will have
a chance to witness the game as it
really was. The moving pictures that
were taken of the fight are the most
perfect ever taken of any contest and
will be shown in this city tonight and
tomorrow evening. The films have
been run through the machine here
and are perfect in every detail.
There have been myriads of good
fights" in recent years. Some Of
these bouts have been shown in NOV
ing pictures and some have not, but
every man who has ever seen thu
Britt and Nelson fight pictures de-
clare emphatically that no fiercer,
gamer battle ever was contested than
the. one where the mighty Dane over
threw the native son. Courage of the
highest type; gameness of the bull
dog pattern; heroic resistance to the
attack of an overpowering foe: and
uncomfortable determination in as
sault-all these things stand out cob
lossa1, and stamp the battle as the
climax of bravery and fair, honest
struggling. 1t was wonderful fight
and the pictures tell the story better
than any words could do.

The Daily Inter Ocean, Chicago Is

is not the slightest doubt that most, drink
