TWO WAR ENGINES $4,000, 900
Naval Committee Recommends New
BattleshipS For the NAVY.

A Washington dispatch says the
house committee on naval affairs
has agreed to recommend to the
house two battleships to cost S.
100000 each, exclusive of armor and
armament; one repair ship; two fleet
GOLFERS and four submarines, instead
of five of the latter, as recommended
by the secretary of the navy.
Representative Hobson of Alabama
made strong plea for four battle
ships and three torpedo boat de-
stroyers. His amendment was re-
jected. The tonnage of the battle
ships is to be determined by the sec
rotary of the navy.

Had to Pay Literally.

These people were not ordinary
homesteaders, who looked to the gov
e!rment for gifts of land They had
to pay $500 down in making their
entries, and additional payments
must be made until the land will
cost, approximately, $65 an acre by
the time patents are issued Many of
them had previous experience in
farming, although a considerable
number were former clerks or other
city workers. The richness of the
Yuma valley soil was the attraction
for all. The soil is easy to cultivate
and under irrigation will grow boun-
tiful crops. 1t is expected that the
land for which the homesteaders will
pay the government $65 an acre will
be worth several hundred dollars an
acre within a short time.

If hotspurs are itching for a
fight even the most trivial matter will
be sufficient excuse for them to start
fracas. A few Italians had a dis
pute about the temperature on one
of the cold days of this week and
promptly began to settle the argu-
ment in the approved Italian style.
One man was shot and another had
his skull fractured. The question as
to how cold it really was remained
undecided.

GINS SHIPPED TO RUSSIA.

Georgia Firm Also Ships Car Load

Perhaps the business story of the
past week in Georgia and Alabama
is best told by a simple statement of
the facts, unadorned by comment and
unhampered by elaboration. That
the wide world is the patron of Geor-
gia manufacturers was well illustrat-
ed when a cotton gin company re-
ceived an order for three car loads
of ginning machinery from southern
Russia, this order following one that
had just been shipped to a German
colony down in Africa, while the
same days mail brought an inquiry
on prices from California.

the Temperature.

NEW YORK.-How quickly a man
the other day. A man weighing
three hundred pounds broke through
a grating in the sidewalk and stuck
fast in the opening A doctor, who
saw the accident, called for a box
and heavy plank and, using the lat
ter as a lever, hoisted the fat man
out of his predicament. Scarcely an
hour later woman of more than
two hundred pounds slipped into a
cOalhole in the sidewalk and became
wedged into the opening. Someone
who had seen how cleverly the above
mentioned doctor had hoisted the fat
man called the doctor by telephone.
Upon his arrival the doctor, assisted
by several other men, pulled the
Weighty woman out of the coalhole,
but after he had shipped the fright
ened woman to the hospital he ad-
vised the interested spectators to
send for derrick instead of doctor
should a similar accident happen in
the future.
The West Side Young Mems Chris
tian Association has established a
course of instruction in First Aid
to Motorists" The plan is undoubt-

The only objection to it is that it is
too one-sided and partial in its scope
1t is all very good to teach motorists
how to bandage and dress their
wrists broken by "kick-backs" in
"cranking up" or burned by flaming
gasoline, etc, but where do the
countless victims of the motorists
recklessness come in? Accidents to
motorists are comparatively few COM
pared with the number of accidents
to persons who are knocked down or
run over by recklessly driven auto
mobiles. 1t seems that the motorists
are favored at the expense of the
suffering public. There is more need
for First Aid" to auto victims than
to motorists, and it would be a good
plan for the w. S. Y. c. A. to extend

Then, along comes Bryan, an
nounces that he favors county OPP
ton, and that he will make a month
campaign in favor of it. Bryan may
not make sufficient votes to nominate
a candidate who will declare for
county option, but he can easily take
enough votes away from Hitchcock to
prevent the latters election.
Bryan is believed to have a county
option candidate for the senate Cup

lieved to be r. l.. Metcalfe, editor
of the Commoner.
In addition to smashing things in
the senatorial kitchen Bryan has
stirred up the gubernatorial situation
as well. If Bryan wins and succeeds
in turning the democratic party over
to county option Governor Shallen-
berger, the first democratic governor
in Nebraska for twenty years, will
have to quit, as he is dead against
Bryans county option plans, and
stands on the o'clock closing law.
He is a candidate for reelection and
obviously cannot stand on a county
option platform.

the Skidoo Mines company was
so remarkably good that the
management felt justified in con-
tracing for the outlay of the
money used at a time early in the
development of the mines, and
also in developing the mines on
such lines as would afford the
most economical means of pro-
duction, with the results that
most of the development work
done prior to July, 1908, was in
crossCut tunnels and vertical
shafts which cut various veins at
a depth of from 140 feet to 500
feet deep on the dip of the veins,
and but a small amount of work
was done on the veins, showing
about $1,000 tons of ore in sight
only. AS it appears from the
superintendent report since that
time developments have been
confined principally to drifting on
the veins with the result that
about 5000 tons of ore have been
nilled and there yet remains in
sight 49,320 tons of ore, not in
cluding any ore running below
$40 per ton. There is vast
amount of ore running from SIS
to $40 per ton which can be pro-
duced at good profits when the
mill is enlarged.
From the treasurer's report,
the output is $11O,50881 This
amount is bullion from 5632 tons
of ore milled, and of this amount
less than 25O0 tons have been

mining. From former report of
Mr.. Montgomery is learned the
facts of this property. In this re-
port Mr.. Montgomery says;
I hereby present my first an
nual report, and appended hereto
are the reports of the treasurer
and of the superintendent, which
are worthy of notice, as they dis
close the following facts:
The Skidoo Mines company
was organized with a treasury of
100000, furnished by Z. A.
Montgomery, which amount was
deemed sufficient for the equip
ment of the mine with ample
water supply, telephone line,
camp improvements, road con
struction, mine developments and
mill equipments, but more time
was required for delivery of pipe
line and mill than first estimated,
with the result that a greater
amount than 100000 was needed
before dividends could be paid.
This additional amount was also
furnished by E. A. Montgomery
but has since been repaid by out
put of bullion from the mine and
mill
The property of the Skidoo
Mines company consists of about
240 acres of fine mineral land, of
which only about sixty acres are
now partially developed, with the
result that there is now in sight
1920 tons of such ore as has
been previously nlilled.

treated by cyanide, yielding
$4186. The remainder of the tail
ings are stored for future treat
ment and will yield approximate
l. $o500 net. 1t is also shown
that the total cost per ton pro-
duced is $500, which includes the
cost of development of 49,320
tons. The cost of mining and
milling this amount of ore will be
reduced to $50 Fer ton. For de-
tails see Table 6.
Owing to the present condition
of the mine, the cost of develop
ing new ore bodies, together with
mining and milling of same, will
be much less than in the past.
From the treasurer's report, it
appears that the company is on
the eve of earning dividends, and
| can now say that a dividend
will be declared on or before May
/. Hereafter monthly reports will
be mailed to each shareholder on
or before the 18th of the follow
ing month.
In conclusion, l feel justified in
assuring the stockholders that
regular quarterly dividends will
be declared of not less than 5
cents per share.
Trusting that the progress and
prospects are satisfactory to the
stockholders, I am,
Respectfully,
E. A. (BOB) MONTGOMERY,

THE Skidoo Mines com

mine has been made entirely
through the energy of Mr.. Mont
gomery, whose judgment has not
yet been known to fail him in
mining matters. The Skidoo is
now earning something like $10,-
600 month for its owners, and
its equipment and workings are
gradually being enlarged upon.

mercial value.
In addition to the above esti-
mated ore in sight there are many
thousands of tons practically
proved but not blocked out in
such manner as could be called
ore in sight. Developments on
adjoining properties are such as
to justify the installation of mills
in the near future. Water for
these mills can, and will, be fur
nished without interfering with
operations of our plant, and the
Skidoo Mines company will re-
alize a considerable revenue
therefrom.
