MINING THAT PAYS,
Chloride Gold Mining Cos Rich Find
Continues.

Late news coMes from Chi bride
Arizona. that the mine 10 imProv-
Ing as development work progressed
and that ore will be shipped. from
four different levels as soon as the
Arizona and Utah railroad resumes
operations which will be in . very
short time. This company has a.
ready shipped many thousand dollars
worth Of ore In the course Of develop
meut and IL Ia yet only in Ito infancy
but has reached q point, where II
clearly can be seen that great mine
will be made and that many Abilene
and Dickinson county investors will
grow wealthy out Of comparatively
small Investments.
Stock that "a months ago was pur'
chased ut 800 Is worth today $1,000
aud from the present showing 1t GER
taiDly looks that this same stock will
become worth many times the present
value. during the next "a months
Stock in good mining propositions
quito often reaches many dollars per
share. For instance, stock in the
Congress mine Of Arizona sold for Soc
to q per share during the development
Of the mine and few years later the
same stock sold and was In demand at
$3.50 per share.
Stock 10 the Granite Mountain mine
Of Montana was Hrat sold q 10 pensi
per share and inside Of two years WsS
worth o76 per share and siS,OOO.OOO
was paid in dividends
One hundred dollars invested IN the
United Verde stock, Arizona, 81 its
beginning lie today worth $4,000
This Is Senator Clark'S properly.
Abilene investors have been idspti,
Iied with many mining ventures that
we're not successful. II certainly
looks Is though tho Gold Chloride
company will reimburse them for all
their Investments.

OH RHRlNRRY BILL RAssRe.
House Adopts Senate Measure with
ont Change.

ont Change.
Specialize the Reflector.
ToPEKA. Feb. ls.--By vote Of
ninety TO thirty, the house passed the
bill last evening prOvidiag for the
establishment and operation Of . state
oil refinery At Peru sS . branch Psni-
tsntiary. The afternoon from ? % 9
O'Clock was consumed in speeches for
and against the bill.
The refinery. as proposed under tho
bill, will handle 1900 barrels Of crude
oil and will turn out >about 900 or
1000 barrels Of the refined product
daily.
Governor Hoch is expected to sign
the bill when II comes before him.
1t requires two-thirds vote to paas
. bill over the governors veto and
with such large majority in favor Of
the measure it Is expected that he
will sign and send 1t back with . pro-
test.
The refinery bill, coupled with the
maximum freight rates bin and the
anti Decentralization bill, shuts out the
Standard Oil trust in the state. The
freight rates bill was passed BY the
house earlier In the day, and the anti
discrimination bill was laid over until
Friday. when it too probably will be
passed. The measure is now IN the
hands Of the judiciary committee.
The INSTRUMENTATION bill pre-
vents the Standard OIL company. or
any other trust for that matter, from
entering the state and undertaking
the state in any locality. The freight
rates bill makes the railroad COM
paniss common carriers. In this way
the oil trust and other trusts are to
be fought.
