in. There are yet several small pre-
cincts to be heard from and as the
.contest is so close that it is posi-
Bile for these votes to change the re-
suits one way or another, still 1t Is
hardly probable that Pittman will
now lose out.
With but seven or ten votes only
decided between Roberts and TALL
man these precincts cut ali import
ant figure and the results from them
are anxiouslv being looked for. At
any rate the winner will not have
votes to spare and at best can only
win by a very small majority,
Late reports from Reno this after
neon was to the effect that Pittman
was now leading Massey by fifty
votes and that Tallman was seven

EXTRA DIVIDEND
NOW POSSIBLE

The report of the Nevada Con,
the big Ely copper property has
been issued. 1t shows a very fiat
tering condition and the president
believes that an extra dividend will
follow.
President Eccles, in his report,
states:
There has been material in
crease of cash on hand due to the
profits from marketing not only a,
much copper as was produced dun il,
ing the quarter, but also to a re
duction OF $4,000 in amount OF
copper in transit. and to the taking
over OF cash from the subsidiary
companies, the Steptoe Vale,
Smelling & Mining company and
the Nevada Northern Railway com
pany, as shown under increased liza
biltes.
If this general financial condition
prevails at the next dividend decla-
ration date, an extra dividend will be
declared of as much as is not needed
for the proper conduct of business"
