NEVADA DOUGLAS IS
WEAR DIVIDEND DAY
First Disbursement Is Due the
First of the Year, Says
Statement.

Shareholders of the Nevada Douglas
Copper company have received q COM
munication from A. j. Orem & Co. OF
Boston, In which is contained some In
formation that will be gladly received by
all Interested IN this organization. The
statement sets forth three salient points,
as follows;
81. From present conditions. we be-
lieve that a dividend will be paid the first
of the year.
''2. In the next thirty to sixty days,
the company hopes to increase Its ship
mcnts. so that the daily output will be
from 500 to 700 tons instead Of from 800
to 400 tons. formerly
"3, During the past few days the stock
has shown increasing market strength
There is none offered today for less than
s3S7i. In fact, we doubt II block Of
800 shares could be purchased without
having to pay more than 81 for part Of
1t"
Should the company practically double
It's production as above Indicated there
will be few propositions in tho west In q
better position to take advantage OF the
high market price OF copper. The COM
pany has been very busy during all the
1912 preparing for a large daily produc-
ton. should the copper metal market
justify such a course, and 1t Is apparent
that the officials are convinced that cop
per is going TO hold its grip on some
thing like its present range for some
time to come.

ECHO OF DOW FAILURE
IN BOSTON MONDAY

An echo Of the recent Stephen r. Dow
failure was heard yesterday In Boston
when statement made by the directors
Of the South Lake company was issued
reassuring the shareholders that this or
ganizaton stood to lose nothing by the
Dow tangle. The South Lake company
did not have any loans out In the Dow
hands, nor have the officials loaned the
funds Of the company to any other firm
or individual. and there Is sufficient cash
on hand, together with what Is due I'M
der the last assessment, to permit de-
velopment work TO be prosecuted for a
considerable period.
There has been considerable discus
sion In regard to the action Of several
copper companies placing their cash In
the hands of the Dow firm without any
security. and some of the directors as
sert that the loans were not authorized
at any meeting Of directors which they
attended In person. President Edwards
OF the various Dow organizations, sue
ceeding Mr.. Dow. states in Boston that
action on the part Of the directors was
not necessary In making loans. as the
bylaws of some of the companies gave
the management authority to make loans.
Should this prove accurately quoted, II
IS certain that the bylaws OF mining
companies generally, and particularly In
the Lake section, will be closely scrutl-
nized Immediately for this link. and II Is
certain that there are to be some amend
ments to bylaws from now on,

BONANZA GOLD ORE

who have been at work for considerable
time ON this group OF ten claims.
Gold shows on all the claims, stated
W. Robinson yesterday. and a sample
of ore from the tunnel has been received
locally and assayed, the ore running Al
ounces silver and 27s ounces gold to the
ton. The gold value is s5620 per ton,
and 1t Is not frequently that such rock
Is found anywhere. There is a two-Toot
vein in the face within which occurs this
rich streak. the two feet is composed OF
fne grade ore, and all conditions are
such that those interested feel they have
a record maker In this proposition.
The property is located in very fa-
vorable section for mining, there Is
plenty of timber available. while the wa
ter is abundant for all uses, including a
future power plant. The veins are quartz
occurring in rhyolite and porphyry. The
company will increase its efforts to
prove up the Badly as quickly as pos
sible. and II Is not unlikely that some
OF this rich gold rock will be sent to
market within the near future.

We are advised that the forthcoming
annual report OF the CRANKY company

the plant. profits were 100000 larger
than In 1911 and nearly equalled those
Of 1910. However, 1911 was not alto
gether free from strike troubles.
It was fortunate for the CRANKY Con-

metal prices which existed during the

these earnings are left after deducting

CRANKY is now producing in the neigh
borhood Of 100000 pounds Of copper
per month and under the existing metal
conditions should be earning close to
$4,000 per month. OF around $40 Der
