AMMUNITION FOUND

That attempts are being made to

The ammunition was concealed in
two grips and a sack of BEDDING. The
luggage was. found on the walk by
John W. Mershon, a day watchman.
There was nobody near the grips and
SO they were carried into the lost lug
gage" room. The weight of the pieces
attracted suspicion and led to the dis
cOvery of about $50 boxes of $3.50
shells.
Lack of equipment on the National
Railways is still causing many labor

that the workmen carry their cloth

to the well grounded suspicion that

STEEL DIVIDENDS.
Common Shares to Pay Five
Per Cent Annually.

At the quarterly meeting of the
United States Steel corporation
held Tuesday a regular dividend Of
IL per cent on the common shares
thereby increasing the rate from
four per cent to five per cent an
nually.
In staten ent to the directors,
Chairman Gary announced that
any additional disbursements here
after made on the common stock
will take the form of extra divi-
dends."
The action of the directors was
in line with popular expectations,
although the course of steel com
mon in the late session of the stock
market seemed to reflect some I'M
certainty on this point
Earnings for the quarter ending
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-04-29

March 81 last amounted to$37 ,616-
$40, with net return of $31 sos, 1914
These figures are likely to cause
some disappointment as conservat-
i've forecasters had fixed gross re-
turns at not less than $50 ,OOO,O
The following statement was
given out by Chairman Gary.
The finance committee recon-
mends to the directors the dec1ara-
ton of the dividend of N per
cent for the quarter ending April l.
During the nine years of the exist
ence of the corporation ended
April 1, the net earnings over and
above all interest charges and divi-
dends at the rate of per cent on
the preferred stock, have averaged
about 81 per cent per annum on
the common stock. while the d1v1-
dends actually paid on. the common
stock have averaged only 2 $40
per cent.
1t is now believed conditions
justify an increase of the common
dividends to the rate of per cent.
AS the membership of the fin
ance committee and of the board of
directors may change from time to
time no policy for the future can
be fixed, but it is the opinion of
the present members of the finance
committee that if and when here
after earnings will justify further
increases in distributions they
should be declared in the shape of
extra dividends.
