Dividend FROM
THE BELMONT MAY
Be DECLARED
QUARTERLY MEETING WILL BE
HELD in PHILADEIPHIA
TOMORROW

Tomorrow the quarterly meetings
of the Montana-Tonopah Mining
company and the Belmont company
will be held The meeting of the
former company will take place at
Salt Lake while the directors of the.
Belmont will gather in Philadelphia.
There is every reason to believe that
the Belmont meeting will be fol-
lowed by notice Of the declaration
of the regular 15-cent dividend with
the possibility of an extra dividend
of 10 cents, making a total of 25
cents. The treasury is in excellent
condition and could pay such divf-
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 dividend by this company is
problematical, for at the present
time the management has a large
amount of development work under
way and according to those who are
in position to know, it would be
foolhardy to deplete the treasury
under such conditions. The Mon
tana is now free from debt, and is
in condition to place the mine in
excellent shape, which in all prob
ability will be done.
The meeting of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated directors will also be held
| in New York on the first of the
month, and this will probably be
followed by 50-cent dividend. All
of this goes to show tnat southern
Nevada is still on the map and that
the era of dividends has just start

LOCAL TALENT
ANSWERS CALL Of
TURKEY SHOOT
CRACK SHOTS MAKE MANY DES-
PERATE ATTEMPTS TO
SCORE A PRIZE

Several high price records for
turkeys were set in Tonopah yester-
day. The raise for the Thanksgiv-
ing fowl occurred at the turkey
shoot back of the old electric light
plant. Early in the morning a
number of our prominent dead
shots hied themselves to the out
skirts of town and after little pre-
liminary practice, journeyed to the
scene of the shoot. 1t cost SO cents

en- a barrel little over 200 yards
distant. Several procured birds for
SO centI having been successful in
th@firh of the first shot, but 9th
ers were less fortunate and at least
two of our prominent citizens paid
$3.50 for their dinner.
One of the lucky shots was Jack
Il. Peck, who captured three turkeys
in four shots. He was barred from
participating further in the contest,
but he didn't mind that. DR.. Cow
den, who has several medals for ac-
curate shooting, paid something like
$3.50 for the turkey he finally
brought down. Billy Douglass cas-
lily won the medal for he paid Sc

The joke of the day was on Tom
Kendall, who was interested in the
shoot. He couldn't participate him.

the work. This expert contented
himself with firing IS worth of am

81 PASSENGERS
NEAR To Death
IN COLLISION

Passengers on the Tonopah anu
Goldfield train which arrived at the
Columbia depot shortly before z
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. had a
narrow escape from serious injury
or death in a head-on collision with
a box car loaded with concentrates
which broke away at the Florence
mill and rushed down the track at
speed of about a mile a minute
and collided with the train just AZ
the passengers were about to alight.
Only three persons were seriously
hurt, these being David Aspland, as
sistant general agent of the Tonopah
and Tidewater railway; DR.. P. P.
Cox, mining man of San Fran
cisco, and W. H. Smith of Sacra-
mento.
About thirty passengers were on
the train, and but for the presence
of mind of Engineer e. G.. Moore,
who saw the runaway car rushing
toward them and reversed his en-
CINE and started to back up before
the crash came, many more would
undoubtedly have been injured.
Mr.. Aspland was about to step
from the car at the time of the
crash and was thrown from the
steps and struck by the corner of
the forward car and thrown to the
platform. He was considerably
shaken up but not seriously injured.
DR.. Cox received bad cut on the
nose and was bruised about the
body, while Mr.. Smith got off with
a lacerated arm. Mr.. Aspland was
conveyed to his home and Dr. Cox
to St. Mary's hospital. Mr.. Smith
is at the Goldfield hotel.
The box car escaped from the
Florence mill while a train crew
was doing some switching The
loaded car had been sent down the
track from the mill and the braks
set to hold it while another car was
being placed at the mill. A cast
ing through which the brake rod
passes and to which the brake chain
is attached snapped on account of a
flaw in the casting, and released the
car. Before anything could be done
to stop it, the car was proceeding
down the 3 per cent grade toward
the main line and thence toward
the depot Gaining momentum at
every foot, it rushed Onward and
finally crashed into the train which
had arrived at the depot in Colum-
bia but minute before. G. H.
Riemer was conductor of the train.
The pilot, headlight and boiler
head Of the engine were wrecked
the box car was split open and con-
centrates thrown into the air and
scattered about for considerable
distance. Damage to the engine Is
estimated at about $3.50 and $3.50
to the box car. The concentrates
which were valued at about 5000 a
ton, were shoveied into another cal
after the wreck and practically all
saved.

NATIONAL MUNICIPAL BANK

Germans are now developing plan
for the formation of a national NUM-
cipal bank on large scale. The de-
tails of the plan ought to be interest
ing to the municipalities in other
lands. They are explained by Mr..
Richard Guenther, the United States
consul general at Frankfort, as fol-
lows:
1.-THE want of such an institution to
provide for the money requirements of
the various provincial, county and dis
trict, city, town and community gov
ernments has long been felt in Ger
many, where these public corporations
appear continuously in the home
money markets with bond issues for
modern improvements electric works
for lighting, traction, and supplying
motive power to industrial establish
ments, gas, water, and drainage works,
schoolhouses, exposition halls, hospi-
tails, and other buildings for public use,
apartment dwellings for officials and
the working classes, etc. Municipal
loans have not met as favorable re-
ception as the loans of mortgage
banks, of the federal and state govern
ments, and of financial and industrial
joint stock companies, which latter
generally pay a higher interest rate.
"At the end of 1906 there were 222
German municipal corporations hav-
ing outstanding bonds of various is
sues, interest rates, and redemption
periods. Most of these bonds have a
limited market; there is no lively bust
ness in them and their prices are not
frequently quoted, hence their valua-
ton is not as good as that of other
classes of bonds in which there are
daily transactions in all the German,
and for some even in foreign, money
markets.
1.-The projected Central Municipal
bank is to issue it's own bonds Csc
cured by the bonds of the individual
municipal corporations). which will be
listed on all the German bourses and,
expectedly, will find investment places
in the money markets of European
countries Netherlands. Belgium,
Switzerland, France and England. }

communities and municipalities (hav-
ing a population of over 10000 was
in the year 1881 but 772. OOO,O 900 marks
amounted to 1926, 900, 900 marks, and

tages. When unified in one central
