big DIVIDEND
OF UNCLE SAM
Directors Celebrate Return to
Production by Ordering the
Payment of $4,000.

The directors of the Uncle Sam Consol-
idated Mining company met yesterday af-
ternoon and posted dividend of &c a
share or $4,000. 1t is payable on the 10Th
OF this month, and transfer books will
close on Friday next, the 18th. and reopen
on the list
This is the first dividend ordered paid
by the company since last December
when distribution of &c a share was
made. When the smelters got up against
II last fall, the United States company
which had the Uncle Sam contract or
dered that shipments cease on Nov l5
From that time until June is of this year
not a pound of ore was sent to market.
and work in the mine was suspended with
the exception of a>>couple of men, en-
ployed to keep the workings in repair and
do what little development work they
could on the side. When production was
resumed. June Is. the mine was in good
condition, and since that time thu COM
pany has been marketing its product at
the rate of approximately 225 dry tons
weekly. This clip is being continued and,
with the income that the company derives
through its ownership of one-half or
100000 shares. in the May Day company
is doing pretty well. thank you.
Including the distribution ordered yes
terday. the Uncle Sam company will have
paid its shareholders total of $4,000 in
dividends, and information that comes
from a close inside" source leaves no
doubt that, had the directors seen fit
they might have nearly doubled the size
of this dividend without depicting the
treasury reserve. and that without count

looked better than il does today, and the
shareholders are in high good spirits over
the outlook for the future.

Californians Demand Final

The Selby smelling works of the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company, at
Benicia. Cal. are probably down and out
for good today. 1t was about month
ago that the news came from the coast
that the county commissioners of Solano
county had determined TO ask the court
TO make the temporary injunction, Sc
cured against the smelling company on
account of the smoke and fume nuisance,
permanent. The injunction was secured
over a year ago. but. as the company
wanted time In which to install and dem
onstrate the practicability of certain de-
vices for the control of the fumes, the
county commissioners, who fought the
case, decided to give the company
chance. On the 24th of last month. they
again visited the works to see how the
Cottrell apparatus. upon which the COM
pany was relying, worked They did not
like the way the business worked, and
they requested the district attorney 10

the county commissioners or supervisors.
at the urgent request OF the smeltin~
company, have permitted the experiments
TO continue, and the smelter to operate at

sweep the fumes directly into Bencia. The
climax was reached Tuesday afternoon.

voked. as the people of Benicia were suf-
fering too much from poisonous gases
from the smelter. They believed suffi-

suggestion that the company has not at
all times acted in good faith.
Supervisor Glendon of Benicia then
moved to revoke all privileges after three
days.
ATTORNEY T. IT. c. Gregory protested
against the motion being adopted. II was
he who. while district attorney. took up
the Benicia peoples fight against the

county to continue the fight when he was
defeated for reelection and who finally

end that a system for preventing the
fumes from escaping into the air may be
devised.
