Findley Annual Report.

The annual report of the Findley
company just fssued Is of unusual in
terest, in that it covers the first years
operations of the Findley and Shurt-
Ion properties under the consolidated
management.
Accompanying the report is n letter
issued by Secretary Newcomb. stat
ing that since the preparation of the
annual report, contract had been
closed for the treatment of the F'indley
ore which would save the management
at least $500 per month. 1t is also
the opinion of the directors that within
two years mills at the mines will treat
ore for $3.50 per ton. The company
has contracted for shipments to begin
about October 1st. and 1t is generally
understood that the Telluride mill in
West Colorado Springs, recently pur-
chased by the Golden Cycle interests,
is the plant with which the contract
was closed.
The annual report shows n produc-
tion of 22,1S9 tons net, at a cost OF
Sl1.97 per ton. The net cash return
aggregated $455.370.56, leaving a net
profit for the year OF 1892. .4S4.29, while
there were distributed in twelve regu.
lar monthly dividends of s12,500 cash
tHt totui VI @ioV'VVV uuiihS tut yedi'
in addition to four extra dividends ag-
grating $4,000, making total dis
bursement for 1905 of 100000.
At the expiration of the ore treat.
ment contract January 1st, the direc-
tros closed the mine, owing to the in
crease Of 81 per ton demanded by the
:nill. so that operations will probably
not be resumed until October 1st, the
date OF the new contract. An excep-
tion Is noted in the workings of the
Findley No. shaft, which will work
one shift per day, and only such ore as
is mined by development and cannot
be stored underground will be shipped.

This is told of James Lick, the &c.
centric San Francisco millionaire,
who founded the famous observatory

one into his service he always asked
the person to plant tree upside down

underground. II there were any pro-
test the man was at once sent away,
Lick saying that he wanted only men
who would obey orders strictly.

First Greeting to Deity.

II Is customary among the Yoruba
natives. to greet their deity as soon
as they awake in the morning. They
speak to no one until they have bowed
to their idol. The converted Yoruba
Negroes retain this custom and bow
the knee before God, thanking Him
for His protection, and asking His
blessing during the new day-then
they speak to the family.

Cripple Creek District Output.

The production of the Cripple Creek
district for February Is the lightest
made by the mines in about n year.
Only 47,700 tons of ore were treated,
netting S1,450,O00. The small produc-
ton is accounted for by the fact that
a great number of companies are push
ing their development work and pay
ing but little attention to production.
II is believed that the coming month
will show very substantial increase.

Leadville's mining output for Febru-
