TWO WELL KNOWN
WRESTLERS TO MEET
ON PADDED MAT
(Contributed.)

Two well known wrestlers will give
an exhibition of their science on the
mat, February Goth. The partici-
pants of the bout are the Malard
Duck champion of Avenue F. East
Ely, and Ginger Bottles, a coming
aspirant of Nevada. Both of the
participants are training with the
best of trainers. Tobe Weaver is MI.
Ducks manager and main trainet,
while "Blackey" is managing and
training Mr.. Bottles.
The we'll known wrestlers car be
seen any time at their well equipped
training quarters. Mr.. Duck is re-
eeiying his training at the Antler bar,
East Ely. while Mr.. Bottles does most
of his at the Keenan, bar, East Ely.
There will be no holds barred except
the a and nose holds; these two
holds will be strictly barred by the
referee, Mr.. "Grizzley" McGoyern,
who is thoroughly familiar with the
Marquis of Gooseberry" rules. and
is given instructions by the two
wrestlers and their manager to in
troduee any holds he wishes at the
beginning of the bout. The sporting
fraternity as well as the public at
large will remember that the nose
and ear holds will not be permitted
or tolerated by Referee MeGovern or
his side squeeze. Sir Edward Smith.
Don't forget the date and place,
February the 80, in East Ely, near
the residence of Ginger Bottles at the
East Ely Base Ball park. The two
participants will approach the mat
promptly at $50 p. d. O.. and Sir.
Edward Smith will give them the
high ball" and act as master of
ceremonies.

DIVIDENDS PAID
OUT IN JANUARY
EORTY-ONE MINING COM
PANIES DECLARED DIVIDENDS
LAST MONTH AMOUNTING
TO SfO,5O2, 100.

Despite the fact that fewer COM
panies declared dividends during jan
uary, 1912, than in January, 1911,
the disbursements made by American
mines and works during the first
month of the present year were emf
nently satisfactory. In comparing
the list of companies making re-
ports to Mining and Engineering
World as having paid dividends last
month with the reports for the same
period in 1911, we find that IA com
panies made dividend payments in
January, 1912, which did not par
tictiDate in the January disburse-
ments of 1911. Offsetting this, how
ever, is the failure of 10 companies
paying dividends in January, 1911,
to pay dividends during last month.
A number of these. however, will re-
sumo payments in February or March,
and a large majority before the year
is ended, With this in view, and
with even present conditions contin-
uing in the metal markets, the year
1912 gives promise of being one OF
great prosperity to holders of stock
of American mining and metallurgi-
cal companies.
In comparison with the dividend
payments made in the first month Of
last year, the disbursements last
month showed a decrease of $702,479
but an increase over the same period
in 1910 of s~1,973,644. F~orty-one
companies participated in the decla-
rations last month with a total of
$40, 1923 to their credit. The
total payments since their incorpora-
ton amount to $3O4,711,739.
T~hirty-two of the Al companies
participating in last months dis
bursements are classed as gold-silver-
lead-zinc producers and they contrib
uted to the months total, $4,514,S11.
These 80 companies have to their
credit since incorporation s135, 543,-
211.
But six copper mining companies
report as having paid dividends dur
ing the month, totaling ,525.
Since incorporation these six com
panies have divided among share
holders s9O,14s, 600.
Two m~etallurgieal companies dis
bursed S"1,975.793 last month and
s~77,479,62S since Incorporation,
while four securities holding corpo-
~rations disbursed s1,129.313 and
s32,5S7,197 since Incorporation.
