Tower of London, Richard III. was

A snl..l force was left to guard the

Immediately upon the return to the

Chase's bitter reflections were at
last disturbed by a sound that came
sharply to his attention. The noise
came from directly below where he
stood. He peered over the stone rail

Then the truth suddenly dawned
upon him. The prisoners had escaped
from the dungeon!
He dashed into the ballroom and
shouted the alarm. Confusion ensued.

planned quickly. "Some one has re-

Two minutes later a swarm of arm

and sailed forth to engage in realities.
Firing was % heard at the western
gate. half a mile away. Thither the
eager pursuers rushed. The wide ray
from the s%earchlight swung down upon
this gate and revealed the forms of
struggling men.
The prisoners had fallen suddenly
upon the two Greeks who guarded the
western gate, surprising them ~cleverly.
Both fell under the dubbed guns OF
their a~dversaries.
Chase and Selim were not more than
a hundred yards away when the
Greeks went down. The binding
glare of the searchlight aided the pur-
suers, who kept outside its radius. The
fugitives, bewildered. confused by the

His rifle cracked a second later, and
one of the two men leaped into the

TONOPAH, Dec. 1S.--At tae regu-
lar monthly meeting of the directors
of the Tonopah Mining Company, held
Yesterday at the Company's office at
Philadelphia, quarterl dividend OF
% cents per share was declared, with
u Christmas present to the stockhold-
ers in the form of an extra dividend
of 10 cents per share, total of 80
cents. The word was received by W.
w. Charles, comptroller of the COM
pany, together with information con
corning the closing of the books:
The dividend will be paid on Janu-
airy 81 1910. to stockholders of record
December 81, 1909. The transfer
books will close at 3 p. m, December
81, and reopen January 8 at 10 a. m.
BY the payment of this dividend
the Tonopah Mining Company is
classed as the greatest silver mine in
the OnIltu oldlVS ut th' p'NSNh' 49,
with the Hornsiiver Company Of Utah
a close second, although this concern
has not paid dividen for over two
years.
The dividend ordered paid yesterday
will amount to $35O,000, and the 4th
for this amount declared tais year,
making a total Of $1,4o0,0O0 for the
year 1909.
Among the various gold. silver
lead and copper producing mines in

dends during the present year, the
Tonopah Mining stands as No. IA on

TONOPAH MINING co. PAYS
ANOTHER BIG DIVIDEND
ThrtyFve Cents Share For Stockholders Making Total of 81
100000 For Year. Greatest Producing Silver
Property in United States

$5,300,UOO has been paid out in divi-
dends. This makes the mine rank as
No. 32 when compared to the other
mines In the United States that have
paid dividends. 1t is rather an unfair
comparison when it Is known that
the other properties have been paying
dividends for years and years, while
Tonopah Mining has been in exist
ence only eight years and a-half.
Anticipating the dividend the stock
of the company made quite an in
crease during the past few days on
account of the heavy bidding orders
from the East. The stock for the past
three months has hung around the
$3.50 mark, but yesterday closed at
$3.50 bid. with few selling orders re
corded.
The physical condition of the mine
has never looked better AMI with the
excessive amount of developmnt work
under way, 1t is almost assured that
new and greater bodies of ore will be
opened up. The latest and most i'm
portant move on the part of the com.
pany is starting the diamond drill
work on the 1500-foot level to pr&
pect the depths below this point.
