The announcement from Washington
that President Taft has appointed Hon.

Republican,, is more than an ordinary
compliment Indeed, it is an apprecia-

In Mr. Randolph the government will
have an able. successor of Hon. NJ. C

the responsibilities of the office credit,
ably and satisfactorily.
The Caucasian would tender its hearty

Butte. Mont.-Many inquiries have
reached Butte recently as TO whether
or not the directors of the Tuommne

mence the payment of dividends now
that the suit brought against the COM
pany by the North Butte has been set
tied to the satisfaction of the Tuol-
umne company. II can be stated au-
thoritatively that the directors of the
Tuolumne company will not commence
the payment of dividends for some
time 20 come. not because the company
is not in position 10 disburse earnings,
hut because il is the policy of the di-
rectors 20 place the property, by fur
Their development. i'm a position where,
ii dividends are once declared, they
may be kept up.
The property has been developed TO
a point where it has large tonnage OF
ore blocked out and at the present
time it is earning so cents a share on
a basis of IS share for the stock. or
ON a Sotal valuation Of $4,000 but
steps already have been taken by the
ordering of new surface equipment,
to cost close to 100000, by which the
property win produce at least 1000
tons of ore a day and by which the
earning capacity will be greatly in
creased
II has been deemed wise by the d.
rectors TO sink the shaft 10 a depth Of
at least 1000 feet, and to open the
ore bodies at that depth before COM
mencing the payment of dividends, as
1t is estimated that when the property
has been developed in all the levels
from the 1000 to the 2.OOO-foot levels,
the company will be In position 10 de
clare and maintain the payment Of di-
vidends without interruption. The
company has a large surplus I'm the
treasury and could pay a dividend
and probably several of them without
increasing the earning capacity of the
property, but the conservative plan no
doubt will be adhered to and it is
doubtful il a dividend will be declared
for at least II or Is months. The Tuo-
umne company is on a sound financial
basis. however, and has no debts, owns
its property in fee, and as soon as the
