OF LEAD
Will BE HIGHER
IN The FUTURE

Statistics just available show that
the worlds production and con-
consumption of lead in 1909 estab-
lished new records and that there
the near future. When it is re-
membered that last year was by no
means a particularly good one from
the viewpoint CT general business
conditions, the achievement of the
metal is all the more remarkable.
The production of the United
States advanced 17.5 per cent to
3S9,70O tons, thus passing the rec
ord of 332,S00 tons in the year
1906, Immediately preceding the
last panic. The increase in this
country is considerably greater than
the average worlds increase, ac-
counted for by the fact that the
production of Australia has fallen
of in serious degree. Imports into
this country exceeded those of the
previous year by 1900 tons, coming
mainly from Mexico, the total being
103.600 tons. Exports also showed
an increase, the total having ad-
vanced $500 tons to 7S,1OO tons.
Consumption in 1909 reached $685.
900 tons in the United States, COM
pared with. $4,000 tons for the
previous year, establishing a high
record, $4,000 tons in excess of the
high mark of 1909.
The worlds production during the
year was 1,081,OOO tons, with con
sumption of 100000, shortage
of 800 tons drawn from surplus.
The Metallgesellschaft, from
which these facts are cleaned, say.
that leading producers in Germany
Belgium, Spain, Australia ant
America have been brought together
for mutual selling benefits and nov

The operations of the selling agen

Round Mountain Mining Company Issues
Statement to Stockholders Concerning the
Davidson Case.

According to letter sent the
stockholders of the Round Mountain
Mining company, no dividends will
be paid until the Davidson suit has
been settled. Davidson secured a
Judgment for about $165, 900
against the Round Mountain COM
pany and, pending an appeal, a
bond was secured. Now the direc-
tors are of the opinion that the
bondsmen should be protected If the
appeal should result in a decision
sustaining the lower court, and all
revenues will be kept in the treas
ury. The circular sent the stock
holders is as follows:
Resolved, that, whereas in the
case of Davidson against this COM
pany in the district court of Nye
county, Nevada, the verdict of the
jury has been rendered holding this
company liable for over $4,000
worth of ore; that said verdict has
been doubled by the court, and a
judgment entered against this COM
pany for over $165,00O; and
Whereas, this company proposes
to appeal from said judgment to
the supreme court of the state of
Nevada, and in order to DO so, it
will be necessary to give bond to
secure such Judgment and ask GER
tain individuals to go upon said
bond; and

company to protect such bondsmen
to the fullest extent possible;
Therefore, be it resolved that
until said appeal has been finally
determined by the supreme court of
Nevada. and as long as any liabil-
ity on the part of said bondsmen
remains, that this company shall
not pay any more dividends, but
shall accumulate all proceeds from
ore in its treasury, less ordinary
running expenses, and hold the
same subject to the payment of said
Judgment and the protection of said
bondsmen.

The girls looked scared for they had spied

And as Helen Brown came close to see:
"Why there is Dad asleep" said she,
Cor is he dead, or what is wrong
That he has been down here so long,"
"Now please don't worry" said Domino,
For in half minute I'll let him go"
The string was loosened and all untwined
And Muf1es looked clear through his mind,
And with I startling nod the farmer woke
And laughed out hearty at the joke
He spoke to the girls and said, Il guess

DINKEY returned on double Jump,

The Prince replied but just in fun:
IF bear gets you he'll have to run;
You saw bear all right" said he,
And likely scared him up a tree,
For if you looked at him that way
He's now hundred miles away.
But calm yourself, that bear I'll find,
When other things are off my mind"
WHEN trouble comes it comes in fours,
AS when it rains good luck, it pours.
For just as Dinkey got his breath
A lad appeared as white as death,
A country boy with the Princes mail,
And on his bps this awful tale:
