MINING TALE TOLD
BY THE DIVIDENDS
Enormous Amount Shared by
Mining Companies Since
Their Organization.

If mining really needed any testimonial
to convince the skeptical that 1T Is one OF
the greatest and most profitable OF Amer
lean industries. IL Is furnished by the 123
mining companies which have reported 10
the Mining World as having paid divl-
Gends in 1911. The achievement OF these
1o3 companics-and it is truly a remark
able one--is the payment to shareholders
since incorporation OF dividends amount
ing to SSH ,597 304.
When the few companies participating
in these great disbursements arc taken
rived at as TO the prominent part the
mineral industry has had in the achieve
ment OF Americas Industrial supremacy,
1t is OF interest TO know that OF the
various metals, copper has been the

DECIDING FATE OF THE
COPPER CURTAILMENT PLAN

There is a disposition locally to belleve
that the big eastern copper magmsattsis gistsi,
now holding frequent meetings: at "hlcn
all the great red metal producers are

DEBTS AND TAXES
MUST BE PAID OFF
Hearing on Application May
Come Up for Settlement
Next Saturday.

What may prove TO be the final cur
tain for the Ely Central Copper company
IN the application made by Ed Mlllard,
receiver for the company, TO the courts
for authority to sell the property. Notice
Of this application has been given 10
the attorneys for II. r. Lodge. Harry
l.. Aver and Jay E. Guggenheimer who
compose the reorganization committee.
1t is thought that all the parties can be
brought together by June TO- so that
the court can proceed with the matter
OF the application.
After reciting that the claims allowed
by the receiver and approved by the
court against the Ely Central amount TO
s1s.950, and that the membranes pre-
sented but not approved aggregate Sis.-
on hand only 5000 and that the money
in his possession is wholly insufficient
to liauidate any material portion OF the
M Msed ar Ss claims extee ae S Sy

In addition 10 the forsgoing indebt-
obtained advances from III. z. Lodge
chairman OF the reorganization commit
tea, under authority OF the court for the
sarily incurred in keeping the Eureka
shaft free OF water, amounting in the
aggregate TO s3s52, which is made first
and prior lien upon the property.
Taxes and Bond Interest.
II is alleged in the petition that at the
time the receiver was appointed the Ely
Central was largely indebted to divers
persons, and that 10 secure the payment
OF said debt liens were plastered on the
property, and In some instances suits
were commenced and attachments levied
on the holdings of that company.
Unpaid taxes against the property will
total s471.5o, and unless this amount is
paid with legal penalties prior to July II,
1911, the receiver declares that the as
sets will necessarily be. sold at tax sale.
The unpaid expenses OF the receivership
will aggregate $4,000.
Another Indebtedness that confronts
the receiver Is the money remaining un-
paid on outstanding bonds Of the Ely
Central, which totals $4,000 AT the be-
ginning of the year $3.50 in interest fell
due on tho bonds and in July there will
be an additional $3.50 due. The prin
