Full of Good News for
Shareholders.

All knowing the conditions a the Tono-

disturbed by the recent showing III the
report for the quarter ending August 81,
The net earnings account OF s3eS.124 was
held down owing to the expense OF mill

rally followed the changing over from the
old to the new concentration. and the diri-
dend requirements for the period were
s315. 900, leaving but a narrow margin. but
one satisfactory In view of all conditions.
Al the present time the new plant is
in successful commission, and the week
ending with September, found ma
1erial increase in the tonnage handled
as compared with the previous week the
figures being $500 against 30s3 tons
September was a remarkable month With
the Belmont from q bullion shipment
standpoint, total OF very close TO eight
tons having been shipped, the estimated
value OF which WAS S1S7.000. Since the
