Then, too, there are the dividends
declared by mine securities holding
corporations which, in the first half of
1910, totaled $7,397 ,223. On the issued
capital of these companies, which is

incorporation a total of $l09, ,S66, ,447. or

There are the hundreds and hun
dreds of close and private corporations
and individuals, from whom no reports
are received, which go &c swell the to-
tai, and give added proof to the oft
repeated statements of the Mining
World, that legitimate mining has no
peer as an investment.
To investors in mining shares the
dividend tables as published regularly
by the Mining World, have much that
is of interest. Probably the point of
most importance is the relative stanl-
ing of the various dividend contribu.

producers, gold d-silver-lead producers,

since the entrance into the field of the
