Shouting the Splendid Soiidity of In
Destments in the Legitimate Mining
Fields of This Country

When 81 mines and metallurgical
works can pay dividends aggregating
the large total of 1872. 351,4 in nine
months of the current year of low
metal prices and curtailed consump-
ton. then there can be no doubt of
the enormous profits that are won
by economic management from min
eral land A careful compilation by
the Mining World shows that these
81 American mines and works have
distributed in dividends since their
organization the enormous sum of
$5Oe,236,9S2. This is equivalent to
a return of 121 per cent on the total
issued capitalization of $41S,l47.126.
There were also declared during
the nine months this year dividends
amounting to $5,954,750 by six Sc
curities holding corporations which
have paid to date $40, 400 to peo-
ple who own the outstanding capital
ization of $241,926.000. Much the
larger part of these dividends was
earned from shares that represent
some of the best copper mines in the
world The premier position in this
group is held by the Amalgamated
Copper Co. which controls the Ana
conda. Boston & Montana and other
we'll known mines: this years diyi-
dends amount to $2,30S,317. the last
quarterly being at the rate of ?

Big Fire in Port Barrow.

Port Barrow, Donaldsonville' s
trans-bayou suburb, was visited
Thursday by one of the fercest and
most destructive fires in It's history,
wherein six frame buildings were to-
tally destroyed. The fire originated
about 1890 O'Clock p. m. in a negro
cabin in the front street of the village,
short distance above the Bayou La
fourche dam. It is said that this
building was closed and unoccupied !,
the occupants being away at work on
a sugar plantation, and no ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of the fire
has been offered. After reducing
the structure to ashes, the flames
spread to two nearby houses, also
occupied by negroes, and consumed
them completely. A spark from the
burning buildings fell on the hand
some two-story residence at the south
ern corner OF the block, owned by
George Bennett and occupied by Capt.
Al Whiteman and family, and the big
structure was soon mass of flames.
At this time the residents of Port
Barrow realized that they had seri-
Gus situation to face, since a high north
wind was blowing, and being without
fire protection of any kind they APP
pealed to Donaldsonville for aid. An
alarm was sounded and the various
companies of the local department re-
sponded with their usual promptitude.
A line of hose was stretched across the
Bayou Lafourehe bridge to the scene
of the fire, distance of about 1900
feet, and good stream of water was
played on the buildings opposite those
already in flames. In this way the
fire was prevnted from spreading and
was soon brought under control.
In the meantime, two other negro
cabins in the immediate neighborhood
of the Bennett building had taken fire
and we're totally destroyed, making
six buildings in all which were con-
sumed by the flames. During the pro
gress of the fire two alarms were
sounded in Donaldsonville, sparks
from the Port Barrow confagration
having set fire to the roofs of the resi-
dence of Joseph Pinel in Lafourche
street and the Phoenix opera house at
the corner of OpeIousas and Cheti-
maches streets. Both of the incipient
blazes were extinguished in short or
der, squad of the fremen at work
in Port Barrow having been detailed
to answer the Donaldsonville alarms.
