iona Mining company and the Superior

Chicago and the regular quarterly divi- |
dend of 81 a share was declared on
the stock of the former company. and
the expected special SO cents share
was declared on the Superior & Pitts
burg stock. The fact that the special
dividend was declared on the stock of
the latter company means that more
than 80 per cent of the stock has been
deposited for exchange for Calumet &
Arizona stock, under the terms of the
merger of the two companies The
merger of the Calumet & Arizona and
Superior & Pittsburg seems as good
as effected. The Calumet & Arizona
