The San Francisco Mining and En-
gineering Review makes this astound-
ing assertion: The mines OF Tonopah
are beginning to pay a larger percentage
OF dividends than are recorded 10y any
mines in this or in any other country. -
So far less than 81 .000, 900 has been
paid in dividends 10y Tonopah mining
companies, while the record OF the
Comstock shows that more than three
times that amount was disbursed
monthly in dividends for several con
secutiye months by the Con Virginia,
California, Crown Point and Belcher
in 1876, at the rate OF $40 per share.
while Il total OF over 500, 000, 900 has
been paid to date by Comstock mining
companies.
The following rule for measuring hay
in the stack is taken from the Silver
State: Throw a tape line oyer the
stack from the side; from the ground
across the stack to the ground ON the
other side. This will give the over
cast. Then measure the width. be
duct the width from the overcast and
divide the remainder by two. This
will give the square OF the stack.
Multiply the width by the square OF the
stack; this will give the number OF
cubic feet in each foot in length in the
stack. For example Stack so feet
long; overcast 80 feet width l6 feet
80 minus IS equals IA; IA divided by
2 equals : feet; l6 multiplied by :
equals l12 feet; liz multiplied by 80
equals 1860 cubic feet. This stack
would contain $500 cubic feet. There
are all the way from $50 to 5l2 cubic
feet in a ton OF hay. This varies on
account OF tineness, age and solidity OF
the hay.
