Figures for November and Five
Months Show Deficit.


The Wall Street Journal, issue Of
Jan. IL, presents tixures on the f.
nances of the d. S S. IA. Ry. com.
pany for Novemberan and five months,
and comparative figures for the pre-
vious three years. For the period
named there was deficit of$l5, 272,
compared with q surplus of $66. 225
for the same period In 1906. The
total income was $1,5l9.s36, com
pared with 81, ,lo7, ,446, an increase OF
over $loo, 900, but the increase in ex-
penses has beap nearly $500, 600, be-
ing 81, lo4, POI for the period in 1907
as against sos, ,66n for November
and five months in 1906. The total
net income for the period in 1907
was $459,oll, and the charges and
taxes s4z4, 2S3. The corresponding
figures for the same period in 1906
were $529, ,227 and AGA, ,oo2.
Despite the fact that the financial
disturbance was showing some OF its
i'll effects in November last, and that
business was badly unsettled, the
roads gross receipts for the month
showed a gain over November 1906,
the figures being 1858, 785 and s249, :
72S, respectively. The expenses for
the two years were, respectively.
$l97 ,446 and, $l76.4o3 The total
net income for November last was
$bS,l 1876 aud the charges and taxes
sc, ,962, or a deficit of 28,S27 for the
month.
At the present time the upper pc.
ninsula roads are all being favored
by exceptionally fine operating con-
ditions and the result will be seen in
the expense sheets for the winter
mouths to date. Never in the his
tory have these conditions been more
favorable. 1t is said that in no in
stance so far this winter has a train
in the upper peninsula b.en delayed
on account of bad weather, an unus-
ual condition. and so far there has
been practically no extraordinary
expense for handling snow, whereas
in the average year this item would
already have amounted to many
thousands Of dollars for each road.

ARE ASKING TO BIZ SHOWN.
Shareholders in Belmore Bay Gold
Mining Company Beginning
to Wonder.

Following is an item from an ex
change which will be of interest TO
local parties:
'.The Belmore Bay Gold Mining
company's affairs are being dis
cussed in a spirit OF criticism by
many stockholders dissatisfied with
what the officers, past and present,
have done. The Belmore Bay com
pany has been before the public these
many years now, and its affairs and
tribulations have been the subject Of
hundreds OF columns of newspaper
space. The mine is a gold PROPOSE
tion, located in the Canadian wilds,
far from railroad, where the ex-
pense OF development has been high
and the process OF necessity slow.
There is gold In the property, for
some has already been taken out, but
It has not yet received Q thorough
test. Many upper peninsula people
are stockholders, Marquette county
being particularly we'll represented,
and in oil . large sum of money has
been poured into the company. At
the present time its affairs are some
what involved and there is consider
able dissensiou among the stock
holders, precluding the possibility
Of immediate progress 10 proving up
the mine. II will be hoped, howev-
er. that the friction can be harmon.
lied, and the worth OF the property
soon proved or disproved. After all
these years the stockholders ought
at least to have the satisfaction OF
knowing the kind OF proposition
their money has been going into"
