HOHESTRKE MINE
 GREATER THAN TREaDWELL

The greatest dividcnd-paying mine in America during the past year was the GUldfeld COnsoli- datcd of Nevada, which declared dividends for the year amount ing to over $7,000,000, having millcd approximately 33S,O ,O0O tons Of ore of a gross value of over 0,60O,O0O The largest dividend payer of the year on the Rand was the Grown Mines, which had de- clarcd dividends amounting to f5l7,O58 for the ten months end ed in October. The largest mine in America from the tonnage standpoint is the HOmestake, which milled over 1,5OO,OOO tons in 1911, though this is almost equalled by the Alaska Treadwell mines, which milled i,5OO,OOO tons. The competition between thcsc two companies is very close, and it is not unlikely that their relative positions may alter at any time. The Treadwell mines have 900 stamps at work, with a stamp duty of over five tons per day, and at the Homestake the 1000 stamps have a duty of little ov- CT i.2 tons per day. The daily output of the Treadwell mines is therefore slightly greater, but working conditions permit the HOmestakc to operate more con- tinuOusly, thus overcoming the handicap. The deepest gold mine of the world is the Morro Vclho, in Brazil, owned by tho St. John del Key Mining company, though the deeper mines along the Moth er Lode in California are worthy companions, the Kennedy, which is the deepest gold mine in Amer ica, having attained depth of 3,550 feet.

 pector, because much is always expected of him. The saying that every mine was once a prospect is never forgotten by men who understand, and the class which is given to finding the beginning of mines has the respect and prayers of all who are dependent upon the mining industry for q livelihood. There is something about the well-bcing of the pros pectOr that suggests the honor of women: it requires a mean dis position to .bcsmirch it.
 Just at this time there are two suggestions that keep the func- iion of ihe proSpcctOr before the minds of the industry. One of these concerns the urgent desire of the west l0 see new mining districts uncovered; the other rc- frrs to the possible attitude of he government and of future mining laws toward the business of exploring the public domain. In Colorado and elsewhere there is a well-grOundcd disposition 10 encourage prospecting, because the west is anxious tO have new camps developed, especially gold camps, since the rush for gold does more than anything else 10 start a widespread interest in mine making. On the other hand, inc fear seems to persist that 1t is the aim of the government to restrict the claims of the pros pector 10 the right of free entry upon the public lands, especially in the forest reserves. Out in Bishop, Cal, they have been hold ing meetings designed to insti- gate a strong protest against all legged federal interference with the prOSpcctOr'S business. It seems certain that steps will soon be taken to revise inc mineral land laws, especially those affecting metal mining. Leasing laws are proposed and other new prrCe- dents are likely to he followed. In view of such possibilities it is not surprising that inc prospect ing profession should br found making it's objections and Srrv- ing notice in behalf of it's own future well being. The present laws. while open iO some objec- tiOns, have served very well in the matter of encouraging .. tX- pl0raiiOn.
 It is difficult !n believe that the influential members of the min ing profession will ever listen to any draft of laws that will make prospecting less easy or tenure of discoveries more hazardous. The men who are taking the lead in proposing changes in inc law have been closely identified with the west. and it is to be expected of them that they will recognize the best influences in favor of continued development. IL is up on continued development and discovery that the prosperity of mining rests; whenever these cease the process of deterioration will set in, as it. does in the case of individual mining districts whose brilliancy has once begun to fade.

HARVARD DIVIDES
WITH YALE CREWS
Eli Freshmen Win Four-oared Race.
Eight-Oar HOnOrs Captured by
Crimson Youngsters.

New London, Conn, June eo.-The Yale
and Harvard Freshmen inaugurated the
dual conflict on the water late to-day,
and divided honors, the Ellis winning the
four-oar race and the Crimson the eight
oar.
The crews left the line in the eight
car race at SIS. but No. 6. Of the Yale
crew broke his car. and the start was
delayed until another could be pro-
cured. They went away at sos Har-
ward took the lead al the start, soon
had open water between the shells, and
Increased the lead to four lengths at the
finish line. The time for the half mile
was 20 for Harvard and $50 for Yale.
The four-oared crews got away short
ly before O'Clock, rowing against a
seven-mile and an outgoing tide. Yale
rowed away to the lead. with a twen-
T. stroke. and although spiashing badly
was a length in front at the half mile.
This lead was increased half a length
at the three-quarters, and held to the
finish. Harvard's stroke and No. were
all In at the finish. Yale's time was 6
minutes 10 seconds. and Harvard's 6
minutes u seconds
The foreguard Of the hosts Of Har-
ward and Yale boating enthusiasts, who
will be here for tO-morrow's great race,
arrived in time to witness the two events
to-day. Each train arriving at this old
whaling town is bringing in its quota,
and the darkness Of the broad Thames
Is already dotted with the lights Of more
than 900 yachts and power boats, with
as many more to come.
