"COnsO|idated Zinc"
Pays / , Per Cent

The most important industrial consolidation since
the early days of Standard Oil and U. S. Steel has
just been brought about.
A substantial number of the leading Zine and
Lead Mines and Concentrating Mills of Wisconsin,
Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri have united in great
controlling corporation called the Consolidated Zinc
Company. It's shares offer investment opportun-
ity which for absolute safety and unusual dividends
is unrivaled.
Every mine in the consolidation is NOW pro-
ducng, milling ore-shipping property of
them, such the EMPIRE Enterprise Mills, Black
Jack, and Dark Horse, are large and constant dv-
dend payers.
In convincing you of the profits of zinc mining
shall avoid theories and speculatives estimates
and refer only to facts which close hand and
easily verified.
The Enterprise Mine (PlattevilIe Wis has paid
a total of $4,000 in dividends a capital of
$4,000; the Empire, in the same district has, in q
years, paid dividens of $250O0O on capital of only
100000.
There many other big dividend payers in the
merger of the Consolidated Zinc Company, but the
above examples suffice to show the possibilities of
zinc mining when done On broad business basis.
The Consolidated Zinc Company, in addition to it's
many producing mines, controls 81 800 of
mining land within the proven areas. The earnings
of its various properties such that dividends of
y per cent annum payable per cent monthly will
be paid from the beginning. When all the COM
pany's mills equipped with modern machinery,
and the economies of consolidation effected, the
earnings will be many times what they
The zinc and lead mines of the Consolidated Zinc
Company actually earned and paid in dividends for
1906 the OF ST. 100000 which is than 20 per
cent on the total cost of all properties included in
this consolidation and the economies that will result
from their consolidation will amount not less than
so per cent and therefore their increased dividends
will be at least twice what they today, on
present production When, in addition to its divi
dend payers, the consolidated company begins to de-
velop it's prospect mines and vast virgin of ore
lands, the earnings hardly fall to reach sum
beyond all mining precedent.
ZINC mining is great and profitable industry
1t paid well under former conditions; it will pay
ormously under consolidation The total lead and
zinc output of the United States for 1906 was
s67 900 OOO in round numbers, and AZ per cent of it
from the regions occupied in part by the Con
solidated Zinc Company's mines.
From the above it will be seen that the Consoli-
dated Zinc Company is largely aggregation of
real ,mnes-actuaI, producing, ore-yielding-
concerns that have been brought together because
more money can be made under thorough combin-
ing of their interests.
Under such perfect organization and modern
equipments will be the rule zinc mining be-
comes a simple business proposition: just so much
ore in sight; just much expense to work it down
to spelter.

Zinc is fast becoming leading metal, and its
production is one of the best paying Industries
known. Prof Scott of Racine, Wis., in a recent
speech declared that it would probably sell for
higher price than lead ere long The known zinc re-
gions are limited and the demand for the metal
spelter is as sure and steady as the demand for
coal In sheets and rods the zinc has many
manufacturing and domestic uses; in brass it is used
by hundreds Of tons. Galvanized iron absOrbs 60
per cent of the total zinc product, and in stamped
sheets, ceilings, sidngs roofing zinc shingles bat

tries the use of zinc is absolutely Indispensable
Nearly all the zinc mines were at first lead

region changed from poor mans to rich mans

One zinc mine located among our properties has

that sort of thing be done by individual mine,

Birreu. who described the act as a code Of
tyrannical laws" said that far as the present
government was concerned the act was dead and
buried. and would be formally repealed at the
earliest opportunity. The Chief Secretary an

ingly support Mr.. Hogan's motion. He said also
that the government had made many promises
for the Irish people which it hoped TO be able to

people Of Ireland more closely with the adj
ninistration He hoped also to introduce bin
evicted tenants TO their homes and which would
give the power compulsorily to acquire the land
necessary TO this end.
