Another Tom Reed Dividend.

The Tom Reed paid another big div idend to its stockholders this week, the checks being sent out from the main office last Monday. The con- pany is getting big treasury for the purpose, it is said, of taking over the power line and pump station of the Victor Gold Mines Company, otherwise greater dividends would be in order. It is understood that the proposed pur- chase of this power line and station is meeting with considerable opposition in the company, but the belief is gen. eral that sufficient stock is now con- troled by the progressive element of the company and the trade will soon be made. The acquisition of the pow CT line and big pumping plant would enable the Tom Reed to handle a much larger tonnage of ore than the present water supply will permit and consequent added output of bullion. It is probable that the mine will have to come down to the handling of a lower grade of ore than that now be- ing put through the mill, in which event several hundred tons will have to be milled daily to get the big re- suits now obtained.
 At the mine the shaft is now being sunk another loo foot lift, which will prove up the property below the level of the older andesite, a problem that may have caused some apprehension among the shareholders of the con- | many.

Two big automatic dump ore cars have been put on the Chloride-Needles route by the Santa Fe to expedite the shipment of ores from the Tennessee mines. The cars have a capacity of 100000 pounds and are built of rolled steel plates. It is expected that, sev- eral more of this class of ore cars will be put on this line covering Kingman, Mineral and Chloride, where better than two hundred tons will be shipped every day to the sun elters.

SAVINGS BANK LAW
Postal Measure Is Soon to Be-
come Effective.
Board Of Trustees and Special Com
mIttee Busy Perfecting Details for
Putting Banks In Operation
Many Problems to Face.

Washington.-The law creating pos
tai savings banks. which was signed
by President Taft June 30 last, Will
soon become operative. Since the
date of the approval of the law the
postmaster general, the secretary OF
the treasury and the attorney general
who constitute the board of trustees,
have been diligently at work. assisted
by special committee of employees
of the post Office department, ap-
pointed by the postmaster general
to perfect the details for putting
the postal banks in operation.
The special committee has had the
advantage of the laws governing the
postal savings banks in Great Britain,
France, Austria, Italy and other coun-
tries, the result being that the rules
and regulations to govern the postal
savings banks in. the United States
will be as we'll nigh perfect as Is pos
sible.
The postal banks will be conducted
on strictly banking lines. with the ex-
ception that there will be no pass
books, certificates of deposits being
issued in duplicate. The opening OF
an account will be very simple pro-
ceeding. Any person ten years OF age,
or over, may open an account In his
or her name for one dollar. The same
privilege applies to a married woman,
whose account shall be free from any
control or interference by her hus.

Like the dime savings bank, how
ever, you may begin your account
with Uncle Sam by buying a ten-cent
postal savings card. When you have
purchased nine other postal savings
stamps, which the postmaster has at
tached to your postal savings card
you will receive in exchange Ger.
tificate of deposit. The postal savings
stamps are then destroyed by the
postmaster.
The postmaster general has already
ordered 100000 postal savings cards
and 100000 postal savings stamps
with which to begin business. No one
may deposit more than 800 in any
calendar month. while the total bal
ance Is limited to $500.
Furthermore, no person shall at the
same time have more than one posta
savings account in his or her owr

SEEING A BLIZZARD At SEA
Seemingly Nothing Remained but to
Meet the End Without Cowardly
Complaint.

The roaring and shrieking OF the
tempest, the thunder Of the waves,
that Jared the whole fabric with
shock like earthquake, made fitting
accompaniment for the gloomy
thoughts that possessed me. Home,
friends, life itself-all seemed lost.
Only one thing remained-to meet the
end quietly, without any cowardly
complaint. I fell into a sort OF men
tai stupor, while all my physical en-
ergies were concentrated in hanging
on to my position on the windward
side of the cabin. my feet braced
against the deck, my hands hooked
inside the edge of the berth. Now
and then came lull in the fury of the
gale, and could hear faint, wailing
cry like the call of little turkey chicks
strayed from their mother-peep!
peep! pee-ee eep! Here was food for
speculation. What in the world could
1t be that made noise like title tur-
keys? To solve that riddle immediate

source of the sound; the wind was

OUTLOOK FOR LEGISLATION.

The present outlook Is that congress
IN this short session will do little
more than pass the appropriation bills
necessary to keep the government go
Ing during the next fiscal year, despite
the fact that there are number of im-
portant measures pending in both
branches of congress, In addition to
which President Taft has some i'm.
portant recommendations which he
would like to see enacted into law be-
fore the Democrats take possession
Of the house.
Conditions in the house, however,
are such that 1t is doubtful IL much
legislation can be handled. Under ex-
listing rules only three days a week
can be devoted to the appropriation
bills and, with the customary two
weeks Christmas holiday. the chair
man OF the several committees hand
ling the appropriation bills will CON
slider themselves fortunate to finish
their work before March /. Confront
ed with situation replete with con-
fusion, the president is said to realize
fully that he has a difficult task be-
fore him to accomplish much.
The president has made It clear to
his callers that he does not purpose
to withdraw any part of his program,
although he may be compelled to
change his plans somewhat because Of
the change in the political complexion
OF the house. The short time that re-
mains of Republican majorities in
both branches of congress is being
used by the president as an argument
for pressing forward. During the ses
sion the regular appropriation bills,
numbering IA. and carrying an aggre.
gate of approximately billion dol
lars, must be passed. Otherwise an
extra session would have to be called
next spring.
Among the administration measures
to be pressed is that providing for the
fertilization of the Panama canal, and
this, 1t Is conceded, will provoke cor
troversy. Others are the parcels post
and ship subsidies measures, the pro
posed pensioning of superannuated
employees of the civil service. the ere.
alton Of public land court and the es-
adjustment of forest reservations. 0p
position to the naval program may %
expected.
The ship subsidy bill is the undn'
ished business in the senate, but some
Democrats are ready to talk It
death. There are enough Republican
to pass the bill. If they can be pre-
vailed upon to accept 1t as parp
measure.
The present congress win be askeo
to provide for reappointment Of tns
house of representatives to conforp
to the figures of the recent census, o@
the Democrats will contend for fns
postponement of this legislation unu

right. No obstacles are placed in the
way Of any depositor from withdraw
ing the whole or any part of his or
her account, with accrued interest, on
demand, under such Irregularities as
the board Of trustees may prescribe.
Depositors will be paid two per cent.
interest yearly. The postal funds
placed in designated banks by the
board of trustees will yield the gov
eminent IN per cent. 1t Is believed
that this quarter of one per cent. diff
ference between what the government
pays the depositor and what the
banks will pay Uncle Sam will be
sufficient to meet all necessary ex-
penses for conducting the postal saw
ings repositories.
Government Benefited.
A careful study of the law creating
postal savings banks makes 1t clear
that the government will be benefited
largely. and that within year or two
after the system has been in operation
Uncle Sam may have all the money
necessary to meet deficiencies, and to
make effective public improvements
without having to appeal to Wall
street for financial aid. Section 10 Of
the act gives a depositor the privilege
of surrendering his deposit, or any
part thereof, in sums of 500, $40,
$50, $50 and 800 and multiples of
500 and $500. and receive in lieu
of such deposit United States coupons
or registered bonds of the denomina-
lions Of these amounts, which shall
bear interest at the rate of 21h per
cent. per annum, and be redeemable
one year from date of issue, and pay
able 20 years from such date. These
bonds are payable in gold coin.
1t is believed by the board of trus-
tees that this section of the law will
prove strong inducement to the peo-
pie, and especially the foreign ele-
ment, to patronize the postal banks.
1t will also add to the desire of chill
dren to put away their pennies so that
they may buy government bond.
In connection with the section of
the law limiting deposits to $500 1t
should be understood that deposits are
at no time to exceed that amount. but
when a depositor has accumulated
$500 he or she may invest the ac-
count in the bonds issued by the gov
eminent and then again build up their
