1.-THE mines of Utah paid out in
DIVIDENDS during the month of June
the sum of $780, 500. Seven compan,
les participated in the distribution.
Two Bingham companies, the Utah
Consolidated. and the United States,
have posted dividends for payment in
July. The former will divide So a
share, or 100000, among it's share
holders, while the latter will distrib-
ute rs cents a. share among holders of
the 1900 shares of issued stock, or
$364,500. With the participation of
other mines the July dividend will ex-
ceed 81, 100000.
S~ixty-nine American metal mines
and works, situated in eleven differ
ent states and territories, declared di-
vidends in the six months ending June
80 amounting to the large total of $685.
55S,355, says Mining World. BY far
the greater part was disbursed by
properties which have already return
ed nearly all, and in a few cases more,
than their authorized capitalization.
More than half, or 1922 1892, 1868, of
these dividends, was paid by fifteen
copper mines of Montana, Michigan,
Arizona and Utah; $11,s 900, or over
46 per cent, by forty-six gold, silver
and lead properties; $709,SS4, or 3
per cent, by seven zinc mines, and $780,
900 by one California quick silver
property.
To make. a dividend paying mino
three conditions must exist. t-rst,
there must be ore in the T ne and
plenty oft; second, the Management
must be both capable and honest, and,
third, the company must have sufi-
cient capital for development and
equipment of its property. Without
the first requisite no company could
succeed, ne matter how capable and
honest its management. A really good
mine will sometimes pay well under
Encouragement and extravaganza, but
no mine, however good, can be made a
success without sufficient funds for
its development and operation. Strict
ly speaking, the first and third eondi-
lions must exis. in order to succeed
in mining operations. A bad or poor
management a be replaced with the
needed srticle almost at any time,
for there are any number of good and
capable men to be secured in this
intermountain region, and it does net
take long to find out if the affairs of
q company are being honestly conduc-
ted. A reliable and experienced min

"Steps of earth's great and mighty
Along those portals gray,
And prints of little feet
Mark the dust along the way"
When the pilgrim of this land Of
desert distances and prineely fortunes
first sets foot upon it's trails, ground
ankle deep with dust with the nervous
tread of thousands of restless treasure
seekers, he is inclined to question the
soandness of the reasoning which in
duced him TO forsake the green val
leys, pensive brooks and cooling shades
in response to the reckoning hand of
the ickle Goddess of Fortune; but af-
ter a few days ~sojourn the weird
grandeur of the silent waste over
which the cloud-capped hills, Scared
and war-worn veter:ils of countless
battles with the elements, have stood
guard throughout the aeons of time
since first the world began, is horne
home. to him to the exclusion of all
thoughts of a "cleaner, ~greenerpo land,
and a faint glimpse of the awe inspir-
ing plan of the universe is v~ouchsafed
him. AS he stands amid the desert
solitude over which the silence hangs
like a heavy pail, he realizes, perhaps
for the first time, how ~leeting is the
life span of man compared with the
long train of centuries which have
passed since first the world star en-
tered the constellation of the frma-
ment and human kind became the dom
inant entity in the shaping of its ter
r~estrial destiny.
Stretching away in dim vista TO
where the mountains rear their hoary
heads against the serrated sky line,
the red brown, and arid bosom of the
continent shimmers and palpitates be-
meath the ardour of the suns caress,
or shivers and shrinks at the chill
touch of the sable hand of night. It's
surface, furrowed by white rivers of
dust, now converging into one com
mon channel, and again branching
forth into an endless confusion of trib-
u~taries, bears mute testimony to the
erratic course steercd by many a gold
en- argosy; and sometimes a little
heap of whitening bones marks the
end of the earthly voyage of some am
bilious Jason. To one whose spirit is
attune with that of nature, the won
drous beauty and the %solemnity of the
Kaleidoscope changes of scene appeals
with irresistible fascination, and their
harmony strikes a responsive chord in
the musings of his better self until
the alter ego vibrates with the melody
of the grand symphony. At no hour

Ava L, 0slin.

Full of years and honors Mir. A
 L. Oslin, of Wilmar, quietly ane peacefully passed from this life te a life of everlasting, on last Mon day at his home in that town after anillness of several weeks. Mr. Os lin was born on the 18th day of Dec. IS2S, in Henry county, Ga
 He lived in that State until 1856 when lie moved to this county, where he has since resided.
 Mir. Oslin was lieutenant in the Confederate army, in the war between the States, and made q brave aud valiant soldier. At the close of the war he returned to his home and engaged in farming and black -smithing for some years. and afterwards engaged in the mercan- tile business at Barkada, where he for several years, did d good busi- ness. In ISo6 he was elected Treasurer of Drew county. and was reelected in 1SoS, without opposition. He then retired to private life, without offering for further political preferment. As an officer he:was faithful, efficient and courteous and no moro honor able and conscientious man was ever entrusted with the County Treasury. During his term of of flee and for sometime afterwards Mir. Oslin made his home in this city, and by his gentlemanly de- meanor won the friendship and high esteem of all whom he came in contact with. He was | mem- Der of the Missionary Baptist Church, and always proved by his work and daily walk that he was q true christian. Mr. Oslin and his aged spouse, who survives him, had lived together as man and wife for more than $ years, and more devoted pair could not be found. It was our pleasure to be present at their golden wedding, in this city in 1897 or 9S, and at that time they were both healthy and happy, surrounded by children, grand. children and old time friends. To the bereaved wife, in her great and grievous loss, and to his loving and devoted children we offer our condolence. A good and noble man has gone.

When a new production can achieve a
continuous run outside of the metropolis
it must possess more than ordinary merit.
Yet that is precisely what Willard Spen-
ser's new comedy opera, Miss Bob
White" did in Philadelphia. More than
that; its run carried it far into the torrid
spell and the audience at the closing per
Torrance was fully as large as at the
opening. 1t is not at all improbable that
it could have still been running smoothly
along in the city of Brotherly Love if the
attempt had been made miss Bob

Auditorium, on Friday evening, April %,
and the same elaborate production that
tickled the theatrical palates in Philadel-
phia will be on view during its Burlington
engagement No attempt at curtailment
in any particular will be made. The

tiful kaleidoscope dresses, the brilliant,
sparkling electric and calcium effects, all

TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1905

FROM many parts of the state come
complaints of the condition of the streets
owing to throwing loose paper around
correspondent in Newark paper sug-
gests that the pupils in the schools should
be given weekly lessons on the subject of
keeping streets clean. A resident of Bur-
lington writes thus to the Enterprise of
that city:
Mr.. Editor:-Since the question of the
circular nuisance has been raised, permit
me to express my utter disgust with the
manner in which our merchants handle
them to the detriment of the general ap-
pearance of the city.
Civic pride should prevent this condi-
ton, and earnestly hope that Mayor AL
linson will be able to relieve us of the an
noyance."
Mount Holly has its share of the nuis-
ance. Almost daily one finds circular
wrapped around door knob, one or two
lying on the step, with others stuck in the
shutters. If there is a lively wind the
papers soon reach the street and are blown
hither and thither until the roadway and
sidewalk become unsightly. 1t is not at
all pleasing to spend half hour in max.
ing the surroundings of home present
able and to have all changed in less than
half that time by paper of various color
and size.
