Does Mining Pay?

The National Banker in recent issue
makes the unequivocal statement that
the combined dividends paid by the
gold and silver mining companies of
the United States are greater than the
combined dividends paid by all the
banking institutions in the United
States. Also that the combined divid-
ends paid by the copper mining COM
panicS of the United States are greater
than the combined dividends paid by
all the railroads of the United States.
and that - per cent of all the freight
handled by these railroads is either ore
or some commodity connected with or
used with the mining industry.

his tirst-born daughter, was visibly en-
barassed under the scrutiny of the many

vousness was not decreased by the sud-
den wailing of the infant as they stood
at the front
when the time for the baptism of
the babe arrived the bishop noticed that
the father was holding the child so
that its fat little legs pointed toward
the front.
Turn her this way" he Whispered
again: but still there was no respo nse.
The situation was fast becoming critical,
when an ancient mariner in tho back
of the church came to the rescue.
Putting his weatherbeaten hand to his
mouth he roared across the room, Head
