Returns from all the counties with
the exception of Nye and Clark, have
been received al the office Of Secre-
tary Of State Douglass. As soon as
the returns from the two last named
counties are received il will be pos
sible to give the exact results OF the

ments regarding a couple of closely
contested Offices
According to several who have
kept close track of rne newspaper re
turns as published from the various
counties, Joe Josephs has won the
fight for Clerk of the Supreme Court
against Jack Legate,, but until the
two counties still missing report to
the Secretary OF State it will be next
to impossible to really determine the
vote for either nominee.
The returns are later this year than
ever before an dino one seems to know
the reason for the unwarranted delay

Will Declare
Big Dividends

To-day the quarterly meetings OF
the Montana Tonopah Mining Com
pany and the Belmont Company are
being held The meeting of the for
mer Company takes place at Salt
Lake City while the directors of the
Belmont will gather in Philadelphia.
There is every reason to believe that
the Belmont meeting wnll be follow
ed by notice of the declaration OF a
regular l5-cent dividend with the pos
sibility OF an extra dividend of 10
cents, making total dividend of Is
cents. The treasury is III excellent
condition and could pay such divi-
dend with ease
There have been rumors concern
ing dividend OF the Montana, for the
treasury is said to contain about
100000. However, the declaring OF
a dividend by this company is prob
lematical, for at the present time the
management has a large amount of
development work under way and ac-
cording to those who are in position
to know, it would be foolhardy to de-
plete the treasury under such condi-
tions. The Montana is now free
from debt, and is in a condition to
place the mine in excellent shape,
which III all probability will be done.
The meeting Of the Goldfield Con-
soldated directors will also be held
in New York on the first of the
month, and this will probably be fol
lowed by 50-cent dividend. All of
this goes to show that Southern Ne
vada is still on the map and that the
era of dividends has just started.
