TO PASS ITS DIVIDEND.
Aomestake Fire Causes Cessation Of
Monthly Disbursements.

For the first time in twentveight
years. practically for the first time in
the history Of the company, the Home
stake will miss a dividend. This an
nouncement has just come from the
company's offices in New York. and
IS made by means of a letter to the
stockholders. This is done because
the fire in the mine has prevented
operations and the taking out of ore:
also because the mills are all closed
so that the water may BE used for
flooding the mine, which is now filled
almost to the 5oO-foot level. Finan-
Cially the company is in the best of
condition. owing nothing, but it has
been believed advisable to maintain
the strong financial position by pass
ing temporarily the monthly dividend.
Dividends for some time have been
50 cents, amounting monthly to SlO9,-
900. The company during its history
has paid out in dividends over $780,
900, 900.

SELL CAPITOL LANDS.
Offerings in Hyde County Bring Az

The spring sales of state building
lands now are being made. and the
offerings will continue until the end of
the month. Commissioner DOkken
made the first offerings in Hyde coun-
", where | 900 acres were sold at an
average Of $40 an acre. II appears to
be the policy of local real estate deal
ers to discourage these sales as much
as possible. While as a matter OF fact
the acreage OF capitol lands in most of
The counties is small, offerings of it
will keep coming along until all is dis
posed of.
At the sales of capitol lands in Hand
county all that class of lands in the
county were disposed of at an aver
age sale price of $l2.05 an acre, one
tract going at $3.50 per acre. If the
sales in the other counties hold up to
