DIVIDEND PROMISED
 BY THE GOLD DOLLAR
Report of President Shows Colorado Gold Mine In
 Good Condition

CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo. April 19 The regular quarterly report of President H. I- Shepherd of the Gold Dollar has been mailed to sharehold- CTS cf that corporation, and as will be seen in the excerpt of the state ment that follows, announced the pay ment of a dividend of one-half cent a share. amounting to s12,O00, on April 10.
 President Shepherds report says:
 Since our last quarterly report of November 2S we have been having exceptionally good returns from our losses They not only have been talk ing out and shipping a good deal of ore, but have developed quite a nice ore body that is still in the ground.
 ''The royalties for the last three months greatly exceed those of any like period since the present manage ment took hold of the property, and, ag far as ! can see, from all the rec Ords with us. this three months pro- duction is larger than any like pc riod in the history of the company.
 You will note from the treasurer's statement that January is by far the best month that we have ever had.
 You will also note that We had in the bank S32, ,374.50 on the 7th day of February This is after paying all bills to that date. which includes con siderable development work done by the company itself. The royalties for February will not be as large as January, particularly on account of a large low1grade dyke that crossed the ore body and made the values much lower for a while. But they will be in the neighborhood of s5000.
 The general value of the ore ship ped during the past three months has not been quite so high as the pre- vious like period, but tis was due to the fact that the ore was not sorteo quite so closely. hTe mine values are holding up as well as ever.
 "All of our lessees together have performed about S25 feet of develop ment work during the last three months for us at a cost to them oI about s15 a foot, making lump sum of more than S12.000 invested by them
 "The report has been somewhat de layed on account of waiting to get the board of directors together to decide about paying a dividend. The beard has just ecide to pay one-half cent a share (SI2,500). Checks for this dividend will be sent out on April lO, which is as soon as possible after giving the necessary published no- tice

PIPE ARRIVING FOR RAGGED
 CHUTE PLANT
Compressed Air Promises to Result in Important Savings In Cobalt Camp-Economy Will Be About Half

COBALT. Ont. April 19.-A matter of great importance in the develop ment of the Cobalt camp, and which is now due to materializa wihtin the next six months is the Taylor fly draulic Compressed Air Conpany's plant. Harry D. Sinms of Niagara recently took over the balance of the contract to complete thsa work under heavy penalty by July of this year. The work is already well under way. and undoubtedly will be completed before the specified time. The first shipment of large pipe for the pipe line td convey the compressed air from Ragged Chutsl into the Cobalt camp has been delivered and is now on the ground. The pipe line will be completed while the balance of the contract on the chutes is being fin ish:d; in fact, the management pro poses to have the pipe line completed i1ng before the air is ready for transmission, mad it Is calculated by July 1 to have the air ready for the mines dss.rous of purchasing this air for development work.
 While no definite arrangements have been announced as to cost. it is generally believed that the present. cost Of producing air in the compress ,sor plants with coal for fuel will be cut in two, or. in other words. air will be supplied at one-half of the present cost to the mines. The exact capacity of the Ragged Chutes plant Is not yet known, but will be at least 5000 hose power or more power by a considerable amount than is being used in the Cobalt camp at pfesnt. It is also intimated that the same company will develop electrical en- ergy as well.
 There are a number of mines wait ing an ready to take advantage of the power to be furnished from Rag ged Chutes. and in fact it is believed the cost will be so low that practic- ally all of the mines now working, as well as others to jtlrL operations when cheap power is available with out the expenditure of a large sum for the installation of their own plant. will use this power. Among others likely to avail themselves of this cheap power from the beginning will be the Bailey Cobalt, where the work is being done by hand at pres ent.

MAMMOTH GOLD MINEs

Colonel Sibley of me Copper Creek Mining company in the Galurio noun tains, north of Benson, has. according to a rumor published in the Arizona Blade Tribune, obtained a bond on the old Mammoth gold mine west of the San Pedro river, from which millions of gold were taken before the owner died, and miiled fin the big mill near the mine before it wss burned down.
 If this rumor is well founded the Mammoth mine will not be idle much longer, as Colonel Sibley is a man who does things.
 The Mohawk gold mine. joining the Mammoth. has a stamp mill running steadily, and is employing about thir- ty-five men at the mine, besides team sters hauling supplies.
 The main shaft is now 52e feet deep. William Roberts, president of the company, is in charge of the work

NEW YORK. April 1s.-The mar ket boiled today. Reading led anoth- CT gensral advance and there were sharp gains all through the list. Some of the representative issues turned somewhat reacitonary in the last hour. but this was only natural in view or the advance since Friday and the re oecsions were not very large. The money for the time being Is in spe- cial stocks. There is enough danger in the Turkish situation to warrant caution and irregularity may be seen during the next few days, but there can not be any rsab doubt that this is a bull market and that stocks are going up.

ENGINEER

An engineer of the Fl Paso and Southwestern, whose home is in Douglas. was among the first on the scene at the new gold field north Of the mouth of the San Pedro river and located two claims near the Iron Mask. where the first rich discovery was made, says the Benson Press. He said: T can truthfully say that l never saw better gold indications than at the Iron Mask. We walked over the ledge for quite a distance. It is all the way from three to six feet wide, and I don't think they could find a better gold district. When l 20 back, in about a month, I expect to take along some Cochise county prospectors."
 s. D. Gordon of the Two Queens, east of the San Pedro, near it's mouth, and who has an interest in the Iron Mask, is the father of Mrs. Park hurst. He has just made a trip with Parkhurst to the claims and took large piece of Iron Mask ore to Phoe- nix. where it is on exhibition in front of the office of Dr. Angency on West Adams street
 Flecks of gold are visible in places, and 1t is evident to the naked eye that the ore is highly mineraiized. It was taken from the bottom of the shaft, which Is down thirty-five feet

soLEo MINES OF MEXICO

BOSTON, Mass, April 19.-Next to the Greene-Cananea properties, the largest producers of copper in Mexico are the Boleo mines, located near the west coast of Mexico.
 This property is controlled by the French house of Rothschiids and all the copper is shipped direct to France. Consequently little is heard of this company's operations.
 For several years. up to the close of 1906. the Boleo mines produced about 10000, 900 pounds of copper per annum. In 1907 it increased produc- ton to 24,530.000 pounds.
 When the Greene-Cananea property shut down. this company procured 2000 Greene 1aborers, as a result of which it's operations have been ma teriaIly increased and it's production for 1908 Is placed in excess of 30,- 000,000 pounds.

NATIVE COPPER STRIKE

Lew Roche was in Benson last Fri day with specimens of native copper from his group of claims in the Rin- con mountains seventeen miles north of Benson. He struck it while drift. ing on the big contact ledge about forty feet below the surrace.
 The copper is in thin sheets and so pure it can be bent one way and then another like sheets of tin.
 The formation in the contact is loose and open, so that mining is easy. The ledge crosses the hill and the tunnel is gaining depth all the time while following the ledge. The pres ent level starts in from the surface and will be POO feet deep under the highest place of ledge.

A Tardy Appreciation

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last Thanksgiving was the first time
we ever had a turkey for dinner. l
don't think 1 enjoyed 1t very much till
the next day. All Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday we had two men plas-
tering our dining room. Papa prom
ised mamma he would try and get the
dining room fixed up if she would cook
a good dinner.
Wednesday mamma scrubbed the
dining room and kitchen, picked the
turkey, cooked the cranberries and
made the pies.
1 thought we wouldn't have much to
do next day, but / was mistaken. The
turkey had to be roasted, plum pud-
ding made and all the little side dishes
fixed.
1t was o'clock before dinner was
ready BY that time l was hungry.
When a person Is around where things
are being cooked and they smell every
thing they lose their appetite-at least
] do. couldn't eat anything till next
morning. Then / certainly did enjoy
the things that were left. l hope this
Thanksgiving l will not have so much
to do. We are going to have turkey
this time, too. We had turkey Christ

GIVES HAPPINESS TO FRIENDS
Helps Family Left in Poor circum-
stances by San Francisco Disaster
First Prlze)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
HI THANKSGIVING in the year 1906
was memorable to many. The
- people were thankful that they
were saved from a fate that had killed
many in the San Francisco fire. 1t was
about the happiest day 1 ever had.
Thanksgiving morning dawned
bright and clear. I got up early and
went to look in the pantry. The
pantry shelves were loaded with
pumpkin pies, chickens, jellies
and other goodies, which were needed
on that day. AS 1 looked at it /
thought there would not be half
enough.
was more excited on that Thanks
giving day >than on any other one
Papa had gone to invite a family up
to eat dinner with us. We children
wanted them to come because we
were anxious to have them tell us
about the big San Francisco fire.
This woman and her three little boys
were only too glad to come. They
were in San Francisco at the time of
the fire, and had lost everything they
had, but few clothes. The mother
brought her boys down to Long Beach
and as she had no money, she went
to an empty barn for a home
After eating all we could, we went
out in the yard. We children-ten of
displayed games, while the older
folk sat on the porch talking ana
watching us play
When we went to bed that night my
little brother put his arms around
mammals neck and said: 81 guess
those poor people had good time. I
know l did, and 1 thought the same.

know how we were all going to sit at
the table.
AS she looked worried, told her we
could all eat outside under the trees.
She thought 1t a fine plan and told
grandpa to make a table in the yard
In a half hour, with the help of my
father, he had the table made. 1t took
four tablecloths to cover 1t.
Then the dinner was brought out
My! the turkey looked fine, and the
cranberry sauce, gingerbread and
other things. But last came the great
big pudding. The turkey was fine, but
the pudding was still finer.
AS there weren't enough dishes, some
of us had to eat out of the cooking
utensils. / ate my dinner out of a
big wooden bowl with wooden spoon
and fork.
While l was eating 1 thought about
the Indians and the Pilgrims eating
on the first Thanksgiving day, but
I don't think they had such good
things to eat as 1 had.
Every time the wind blew the leaves
from the trees over our heads fell all
over the table, but we didn't care. We
just picked them off and started to
eat again. Well L must close. With
love, ALINE KAGE.
