PROGRESS OF RAILROADS
Both Capitalization and Dividend
Paying Capacity Have Inc
creased in Last Year

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA special
report of the interstate commerce com
mission just issued shows that the rail-
way capitalization has rapidly In
creased during the last few years. The
total capitalization for the year end
ing June 30 1893, was $9,S94, 625,239,
or $59,729 per mile Three years later e
st increased to $40 $3.50 S65, III, or $59,61O
per mile, while in 1904 it had grown to
S13213,124,697, or $64,265 per mile.
An Improvement likewise is noted in
the dividend paying ability of railway
stocks. The amount paid in dividends
in 1904 was 1921, 941,049. Although the
figures for the year ending June 30,
1905, have not yet been completed.
there are sufficient data at hand to
show that there was an increase in
the amount paid in dividends which
would represent total of over $780,
100000.
In arriHing at these figures the COM
mission has found it practically impos-
sible to determine whether the out
standing stock represents actual value
or water" 1t is estimated, however,
that if there is a large amount OF
''water'' in these stocks, the dividend
rate should be higher, and it is stated
that any rate producing more than
per cent. on a fair valuation of the
Investment is to the extent of such
excess unnecessarily higher.
AS regards freight rates the statistics
show that, estimating the amount of
freight revenue at the average rate
of 95.2 cents per ton, the rate of 1899,
that amount of freight revenue for
the year ending June 80, 1904, was
81 247 024 005.

stretches himself at length in the cool
shade. 1t is said that very soon his
nerves begin to tingle and stranger
dreams come to him than the weird
vision induced by hasheesh.
THE amount of dynamite consumed
at an ordinary camp by those addicted
to taking it into their systems in the
above way described, is so large that
1t appreciably affects the quantity of
that explosive required to carry on
the regular work. There is a large
and increasing number of people adj
dicted to a vice that only the most
imaginative of persons could have in
vented. 1t may not be assuming too
much to state that eventually dyna-
mite will be dispensed at saloons as
much as are tobacco and alcoholic
drinks, and that the 'dynamiteur' will
be as distinct class as the absintheur
or ordinary boozer."

Special to The Herald.


MONTEREY, Mex, Feb. T.-An
American business man of this city
who was on visit a few days ago to
g. mining camp situated near here, was
surprised and mystified to hear one
Mexican miner say to his companion
as they came from the depths of
mine:
Come over to the cantina tonight
and take some dynamite with me-"
The American superintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
THAT was not an invitation to take
a drink of some new brand Of liquor,
as might be supposed" he said. Those
two Mexicans are dynamite fiends.
They actually eat dynamite and get
drunk on the dangerous substance"
1t is fact that many OF the Next
can miners of the peon class are dyn-
amite eaters. 1t is a vice that is rap
idly spreading to all of the mining
camps in Mexico. j. C. Ford, prom
inent American mining man of the
Guadalupe y CalVo district said con-
corning this new habit:
users of dynamite soon learn that
1t is a powerful stimulant, and that
the effects Of intoxication are pleasing
while they last beyond the most ex-
circulating phantasies of an opium
dream. Dynamite is manufactured for
the purpose of smashing things, and
a tiny bit of it coursing through the
veins smashes the whole end out of
care and blows dullness into atoms.
THE 'dynamiteur' usually is very
dainty and exact i'm his methods of go
| ing about the introduction of the high
explosive into his system The pre-
ferred way to do this is to cut off a
small piece of SO per cent dya,' about
the size of a pea. This is dissolved
in a small glass of mescal or tequile,
and the draught is quaffed down with
a gusto that comes from pleasant an

Facts to Be Considered

The property of the Long Beach and Arizona Mining
Company is located in the greatest mining district in
Arizona, and Arizona is of the richest mineral
countries in the world.
The Company is actually and actively engaged in
developing its property.
The Company has good treasury fund.
The Company agrees to keep out of debt and make
its management honest and economical
The directors are and shall be men of good business
judgment and reputation.
There was a time when investments in mining
stocks and mines considered hazardous but to-
day, owing to the improved methods of working the
ore, money put into mining stock is counted among
the best investments, and certainly is
of the shortest routes to fortune.

screams of Miss Helen Rossiter, 20
years old, that made him lose his nerve
and finally bolt from the house. He
left many articles he Lad gathered.

parents he cut his visit short
The girl hearing the burglar cropping
through the hallway on the second floor
where the family slept, jumped from
her bed and locked the door of her
room. Then she called to her parents
to remain quiet until the marauder
should leave.

Then almost fainting with fright,

the other a small pocket electric lamp

Then he searched the room.

asked her to remain calm.

than you," he announced quietly, land
if you kindly will be quiet l will not
harm either of you"
Mr.. Rossiter and his wife watched
the burglar as he deftly emptied every
drawer in the dresser. Suddenly in the
dim light of his electric lamp Mrs. RoS-
sitter saw a string of gold beads, one of
her husbands first gifts to her, gleam-
ing in the burglars hand.
please don't take those beads! Leave
them, pleased" she cried.
"All right, I'll leave your rosary"
replied the burglar, installing the
beads for rosary, because of a cross
attached to them. "See, I'll drop them
here, on the dresser"
BY this time he had completed his
search Of the room, and had taken sew
eral rings, a diamond scarf pin and
| gold watch belonging to Mr.. RosSiter
besides about $50 in a wallet in Mr.
Rossiter's clothing.
Her Distress Annoyed Him
Remembering that among the jewel
ry that the dresser contained there
were several articles which he valued
as heirlooms and because of memories
! attached to them, Mr.. Rossiter asked
the burglar to leave them behind.
AS the householder described the
articles the burglar dropped them one
by one. Finally, as Mr. Rossiter asked
him to leave the watch, the intruder
demurred, saying 1t was too valuable
to overlook and that Mr. Rossiter could
purchase another.
Then as Mrs. Rossiter began to sob
the looter said quietly:

suppressing her nervousness, so / had
best bid you good night"
He then left the room and hurried tc
the basement, where he made his exit
through window, by means OF which
