and smoke spread so rapidly that some of
the employees had narrow escapes from as

linotype machines, constituting the most
valuable part of the plant, were not de-

A Good Suggestion.

| If all of the merchants and business
men of this city will emulate the praise
worthy example set by Jasmin Tobias,
the enterprising young proprietor of the
| New Orleans Bargain Store, Donaldson
ville's pretty public park and playground
will soon be rendered even more attract
i've and up-to-date by the placing of a
number of ornamental iron benches at in
tervals along the paved walks and around
the fountain in the square. Having ex-
hausted its funds in beautifying the park
and constructing the walks and fountain.
the Park Commission is unable to purchase
benches or other appurtenances. and Mr..
Tobias has offered to donate bench of
appropriate design provided the other
merchants of the community will follow
suit This is a most commemorate sug-
gestion on the part of Mr.. Tobias. and one
which we hope his colleagues of the com
mercial world will take pleasure in en-
dorsing and emulating. If they win each
contribute an iron bench or some other
accessory of modern park establishment,
Louisiana Square will shortly be provided
with everything needed to complete the
scheme of improvement mapped out by
the Park Commission and will take rank
with the best equipped and most at
tractive public Fairgrounds of its size in
the state.
Since writing the above. we have
learned that Messrs. Meter 6. Co., the
well-known Mississippi street merchants.
have donated to the Park Commission an
ornamental iron arbor to be erected in
Louisiana Square. around which climbing
vines and Towering shrubs viii be planted.
The Chief congratulates this enterprising
firm on its progressiveness and public
spirit, and hopes to be able TO record sim
liar donations by other business establish
ments within the near future.
The square is receiving its finishing
touches and will be formally opened to
the public with appropriate exercises at
an early date The mound in the center
! has been graded and planted with winter
grass, and force Of men are now at
work cleaning the grounds and preparing
the lawns for the construction of flower
beds and the planting of shrubs and trees.

The 1910 Dividend Payers

w , HIILE the past month did not maintain the dividend achieve
w ment of April, due in large part to the continued unsettled
condition of the metal markets, yet 25 American mines and
metalurgical works, according to returns made to the Mining World,
the principal statistical mining journal of the United States, were able
to distribute among shareholders, 81, 1921 53, which, included with the
SS29,439 declared by two securities holding corporations, makes a
total for the month of $2,55s,592.
1t was generally believed that the increased price of silver would
make possible larger dividend declarations by regular dividend pay
es and also permit a resumption of payments by other companies
but at this writing the effect of the higher prices has not been felt.
The continued unsatisfactory condition of the copper metal market
had a rather serious effect on companies operating copper properties
as is shown by the fact that only four companies participated in the
May disbursements
The year to date, however, has, in the main, been quite satisfac-
tory for, during the five months just ended, $27, 71S,25S has been paid
by LOG American mines and metallurgieal works. CThis does not in
elude the S5623,S5S paid by nine securities holding corporations)
That these dividends re not of a sporadic nature it is but necessary
to state that The Mining World is able to show from its reports that
these LOG companies, since their Incorporation, have paid out in divi-
dends the enormous sum of $622,05 ,555. CThis also does not include
the declarations of the nine securities holding corporations paying
dividends in 1910, which amounted to $lOS O93 OS2). On the combined
issued capitalization of these LOG eompanies-$55s 72,O5s this
makes "a return equivalent to Ill per cent, a return duplicated by few
other industries.
In connection with the dividend payers of 1910 it is interest to
learn that the state of Nevada, with eight companies contributing,
leads for the year with s., ls6414, but in total dividends to date ($15,
522, 7S4) ranks eighth. Nevada has its Goldfeld Con. and its Tonopah
they contributing for the year ~$3,559,09S and 100000, respectively.
Montana, by reason of its Anaconda and Boston & Montana, is able to
rank second for the year with ,250y0O0, these companies contributing
to the amount, i 100000 and 100000, respectively. But in point of
total dividends paid by Montana 1910 dividend payers this state
ranks second with $l1S875O0 to its credit.
Arizona, with its great copper producers, ranks third for the year
with s., 196,292. 1t is also third in point of total dividends paid, for
the six companies contributing to the 1910 total have, since incorpor.
alton, paid to shareholders SOL, 65l 43O.
Michigan, though only fourth in dividend payments in 1910 OF
s2,4i9oo, and participated in by six companies, stands head and

Hurrah for w. A. Clark

m He indominatable and imperturbable builder of the Salt Lake
railroad, Senator w. A. Clark, is to be congratulated upon the
final restoration Of his line through the washedo out section Of
southern Nevada. The calamity that overlook the road months ago
and entirely washed the roadbed from off the face of the earth, vas
staggering IN its results and in most any other case, would have
proven fatal; for the restoration of the road, s. extensive was the
damage, meant the reconstruction of miles upon miles of roadbed, the
replacement of as many miles of rail and the purchase of much ex
penslve rolling stock; for it will be remembered that the flood that
washed away the tracks also carried with it complete freight and
passenger trains, and piled them up into scrap heaps.
Telegraphic dispatches state that the first Overland Limited train
Oh NE restored railroad, will start east from Los Angeles tomorro"
night, and that the train from Chicago for Los Angeles starts today
ms marks the passing of the worst tragedy that has overwhelmed q
railroad and it is also the monument to the courage and resourcefuF
ness OF that big little giant in the railroad and industrial world, VIII
liam A. Clark.

GERMANY MAY YIELD
Brighter Prospects for American
Railroad in Turkey.

Washington, June 2S.-Prospects of the
Ottoman-American Development Company,
OF New York City procuring the Turkish
concession Cor the construction of a l.5eo. 900
railroad in Asia Minor are looming up
more brightly at the State Department.
The reply of the German government 20
the United States, which inquired why the
Germans objected TO the concession, IS
thought 10 have been responsible for this
optimistic view of the subject.
The German government expressed itself
as generally favorable TO American enter
prise in Turkey but, unlike Russia, Italy,
France and Great Britain, limited her ap-
proval to spheres where the Americans
would not affect her interests adversely
The State Department is expected TO take
the position now that the proposed railroad

to the city of Diarbekir and thence TO
Bitlas and Van, distance of 100 miles.
viii not interfere with German interests
in Turkey, either to the Bagdad rail-
road concession TO Germans OF the mining
law of 1907.
It is understood that the opposition on
the part of the German government has
occasioned considerable surprise TO the
State Department, especially in view of
Germany'S earnest advocacy OF an open
door" in Morocco, Persia and In the Far
East. Coming Immediately after the CO.

LOSING TRADE WITH JAPAN
A Drop of Over $1,000, O,OOO-Cotton
Situation Cause.

Washington. June 26.-Imports TO Japan
from America and Europe In the first
three months of the year 1910 showed a
marked decline over the corresponding
periods in 1903 and 1909. according TO figures
In possession of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. In the same period
Japan's imports from Asia and Oeeania In
creased.
Japan's American imports fell from sI4,-
6e6, ,OO0 in the first three months OF 1908 to
81 600, 900 in the same period of this year:
those from Europe fell from s25. 1000 in
the first quarter Of 1908 to SIC. .25o,010 in 1910.
Japan's imports from Asia and Oceania, on
the other hand, increased from 600
in the 1908 period to $50 eo0,oeo in the 1910
period.
The falling off of American imports is re-
ported to be largely due to the cotton stu-
alton, Japan buying freely of American cot
ton when prices are low, but when prices
are high, as has been the case In the last
year OF two, Japan turns to other parts of
the world for cotton.
