MAY DAY A NEW
DIVIDEND PAYER.

~ NE OF the new dividend pay
ers Of the year IL the May
Day Mining company, which is
rapidly taking It's place among
the list OF big Tintio mining PROPOSE
tions A total OF $4,000 has been dis
bursed among shareholders since July
25 last. The company + now making
monthly distributions. OF - cents a
share and IN view Of the fact that Il
has a favorable contract with the
tmelters, there he every reason to be-
levc that this record will be continued
indefinitely.
An event OF Importance in the az
fairs OF the May Day company was
the passing OF control OF the capital
stock early IN the year, which was
followed by a reorganization which
election OF John Dern president
and manager. b. +. Caffey, vice
PRESIDENT A. Reeves, secretary ana
W. a. Mccormick, treasurer.
Among the FIRST acts Of the new ad-
mlnlstraton was the purchase Of the
Uncle sam and three fractional mining
claims from tho Uncle sam CONSOLE
dated Mining company, including the
mill owned by the latter corporation.
For the purpose OF paying for TINS
property. the capital stock or the May
Day company was Increased from
400. 600 to 100000 shares, the entire
increase going to the Uncle sam Con-
solidated corporation. This trans
action received the hearty approval Of
the May Day stockholders as the ac-
QUESTION solved the problem OF econ
omic mining for the May Day COM
pany, by making Il possible to operate
the mine through the Uncle Sam tun-
mel. and doing away with the neces-
slty Of hosting TO the surface all ore,
as was formerly the case.
But the acquisition Of the mill In
conjunction with the cheaper mining
costs has given the company a dis
tinct advantage. This mill has been
thoroughly remodeled during the past
few months and now the large reserves
OF low grade ores In both the May
Day and Uncle Sam claims can be
made commercially valuable. A high
grade concentrate Is the result OF the
milling Of these ores and the company
has been shipping an average OF a car
load a week, In addition to the high
grade crude ore which is sent direct
10 the smelter.
The May Day mine now seems des.
tined to occupy a place I'm the from
ranks OF Utah producers and dividend
| payers. II has passed through some
very trying times In the past: but the
clouds have lifted and the sharehold.

ments In the May Day property have
! been Of a most important character
| giving assurance OF a long era OF
steady production.

Value Of Metals Yielded from
Utah Reduction Plants
During Past Year.
EXCEEDS FlFTY-oNE MILLIONS
Utah Mines Paid Dividends AEgrcgat-
ing the sum Of
S5,373,982.

TT IS undeuiably a fact that more
wealth has been produced from the
mills and shelters Of Utah in 1901
than during any previous year. The
"Nows' has received from confidential
sources figures showing an output Of
SbI.68S.397. based on the average
prices Of the metals for the FIRST
II months OF the year. II
must be understood however. that
all OF this wealth has not been
derived from the mining camps OF
this state. "a portion Of II came from
the camps OF other states. on the other
hand. many OF the Utah camps, par
tlcularly Tlntic and Park city have
been supplying the furnaces OF Colo
RADIO. and California, thus I'm a measure
making uu FOR the ores imported into
Utah TO De reduced to bullion.
owing to the fact that some Of the
shelters have no records showing
segregation OF metals, IL is diihcult
matter 20 ascertain just what portion
belongs to Utah, Idaho Nevada, OF
some other state II is fair 10 presume
however. that 20 per cent of the metal
liz output OF the mills and shelters
should be credited to other states In
that event. S1O.327,679 would have 10
be- deducted, leaving the estimated
value OF the production OF gold, silver
,opper. lead, zinc and quicksilver from
Utah mines during the current year
at S41,3l0,Sls.
OUTPUT Of gold at the smelters, ana THIS
has come largely from Nevada; the
same might be said about silver; the
copper has come mainly from the mines
OF Utah-with the increased tonnage
from Beaver county and bingham
quite a large tonnage OF copper ore
has also been received from Nevada
with the Nevada Douglas at Yer
incton figuring conspicuously. Con-
siderable lead has come here from
Idaho TO be smelted. while the Itah

from the Scranton mine In the Unite
district and the Horn silver mine IN

OF as A POPULAR MAN IN
THE EAST AND HAS Ex-
CELLENT CHANCES
OK BEING ELECTED
PRESIDENT BY
DEMOCRATS
Editor Of the Ledger Writes Of the
Remarkable Results Allowed by
Farmers Through the Use Of
Fertilizer The North
Side Alley Again.

Southampton, L. /. N. Y, July 30.
Their is great many politics In the
East, and the impression seems TO be
that Roosevelt will name the next Re-
publican nominee, and th Q President
lives close by here; aud those who are
near him say he win not accept the
nomination under any circumstances.
Root spends his summers here and
his many friends say he will not be a
candidate 1t looks now like Taft. All
through the East there is a strong
Folk following. The leading Demo-
Gratis claim that he is the logical can
didate for President, and that he is
the embodiment Of a living and uner-
ring issue.
Folks opposition to Federal Judges
interfering with State laws is meet
ing with much favorable comment by
the press and people OF the whole
country. AS matter of fact, Cover
nor Folk is sound on all of the public
issues Of the day, and would stand a
good show Of being elected.
/ spoke in my last letter Of using
fertilizer in Missouri, and the more l
look into the matter, the more assur-
red l feel that 1T will pay big. Very
little would have to be used In Au-
drain county to get fine results.
Farmers here on forty acres Of land
make from two to three thousand dol
lars clear, after paying for help and
other expenses.
They put more than a ton Of fertilf-
ger on an acre Of potatoes and get from
three to four hundred bushels to the
acre, which brings from fifty to seven
ty-flve bushels. This is the result Of
farming with the judicious use Of fer
tilizer. Farming here has been reduc
ed to science and all who follow the
business in the proper way grow fine
crops and make big money.
There is not farmer in Audrair
county who would notlget the best o
returns from the use OF a small
amount Of fertilizer of the right kline
Farming is the most independent
life there is and can beImade more ant
more profitable, especially while al
products Of the farm are commanding
such high prices.
1 lam sorry to note that the Chau
tauqua was not financial success
III see no reason why this entertain
ment should not make money ever,
year.
| hope the people Of Audrain viii
all assist in making the fair even big
ger and better than last year. Th
| Audrain County Fair should be KEEP
| the best in the State. Every citize
, ip the county should feel 1T his plea'
ure to work to this end.
Has any move been made to paw
that north side alley? l was In hope
that the first thing that would hav
to do when got home would be {
, pay my part Of that needed improve
ment. ALI Of the alleys In the bushes
