No better evidence could be
,roduced of the profitableness OF
mining and milling on the Ameri-
can continent are carried on today
than that afforded by the dividend
tables published regularly in Min
ng and Engineering World Cor
nerly The Mining World.) While
he figures given do not fully rep
resent the returns made by all COM
panies, yet the companies reporting
are sufficient in number to give a
fairly good representation of the
profits realized as result OF the
presetn-day sane and safe method OF
operating mines and works.
In view Of 'the fact that there
are hundreds of mines being work
ed at a profit sufficient to pay divi-
lends, but from whom no report
are obtainable, the half year just
completed will stand out as prob
ably the most profitable in point of
dividends paid in the history of the
industry.

| that shareholders in these compan-
! les were enriched during the half
year Just ended to the extent OF

l12 companies and $34 4,2lS,102 during
The same period in 1910 and Sc COM
panies and $2S,443, ,139 in 1909
Adding the $7,722,524 disbursed

which has gone into the hands of hol
ers of American mines and works
during the half. year just ended.
By figures available it is readily
seen that dividend payents of Ger
tain American mines and wroks are

claims, through which large number
of strong veins outcrop at the sur

Quarter Million More
From Clarence MaCkev

Another quarter of million dol
lars has been donated to the Uni
versity of Nevada by its generous
patron, Clarence W. Mackay, and
unknown friends. Who these friends
are is not, and perhaps never will
be known by any one except DR.. J. r.
Stubbs, the president of the univer-
sity, who has been eminently sue
cessful in enlisting the assistance
OF Mr.. Mackay, the most generous
of all men toward the state of his
birth
This announcement was made to
the Gazette recently by DR.. Stubbs up

made most modestly over the tele4

that he had not done anything out

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

0e17 ITY ENGINEER sHERRERDs inconclusive report to the
" Board of Works on the subject of a city ice plant is not
much more than an echo of the one-sided and very unsats-
factory report by the commission in 1907, with which the city
engineer is understood to have had something to do. The engineers
report may suit the board, but it does not satisfy the Newark public.
And the city engineer in his report enters into phases of the ques.
ton with which, as an engineer, he has nothing whatever to do.
He was expected to report on the feasibility of the plan and he
is rot consistent. If it is practicable to cut a supply for the emer'
gencies that are suggested why should it not be feasible to cut a
larger supply? Nobody has proposed that the city should run out
the private ice companies by supplying the whole community. The
point is that there shall be cheap ice, and if the private companies
refuse to sell ice at reasonable prices the city shall be in a position
to sell to retailers by cutting and storing a sufficient quantity OF
ice in the winter in the watershed. Nor is there any reason why
the pure ice from a city reservoir shall not be supplied regularly to
the hospitals and other institutions and to the county hospitals
as we'll, if only for its superior quality. The narrow official view
of the question of ice is not worthy of consideration beside the
humane view of relief of a great city population from prohibitory
trust prices for a great necessary of life. Health and life are in.
volved in the question. 1t should be the study of governing authori
ties in a matter so vitality affecting the public welfare how to do it,
whereas the argument of the city engineers report is how not to
do it.
