USUAL DIVIDEND Of
UNITED STATES CO.
Over Half Million Dollars to
Be Disbursed During the
Coming Month.

Local stockholders of the United
States Smelling, Refining and Mining
company have been informed that the
board of directors has declared the us
aul quarterly dividends, calling for S719
cents share on the preferred, and 10
cents share on the common stocks,
payable on October Is, TO shareholders
of record on September 80. This calls
for $307,2l for the preferred and
1864, 740 ON the common, and will bring
the total paid on both stocks to the
handsome total Of $l8,520,506, of which
$l2,S46,912 viii have been paid Oh the
preferred, and $5,613, ,59i on the com
mon stocks.
While the United States company has
extensive mining and smelling interests
in California, Arizona and other parts
of the country, and in Mexico, the com
pany's Utah mining and smelling in
terests are very extensive, and IL con
siderable amount of the company g
earnings comes from the Utah hills,
and Utah considers the organization a
home product. The United States com
pany is the owner in addition of some
OF the most valuable coal mines of this
state, and it is considered certain that
within the near future the company
will acquire permanently some impor-
tant gold properties in Alaska. Many
of the engineers on the company's S staff
have been spending the better part of
the past summer in Alaska, and the
attention paid TO these Alaskan propo,
sitions has inspired the conviction gen
orally that whatever the propositions
may prove to be. they are sure to
prove extensive and important,

BIG TONNAGE. READY

According 70 the latest reports, the
5O.ton Scott furnace for the reduction
Of the quicksilver ores Of the Nevada
Cinnabar company will be in readiness
for the fires within the coming week
or ten days. The property is equipped
with the necessary buildings for the
comfort of the men employed. and cy-
erything points TO long and success
full career of this company. Inventor
Scott, who has never failed to bring
one of his furnaces into successful op-
Grafton, claims that the furnace in
stalled for the Nevada company is the
best he has ever built.
History of Mine.
1t is estimated that the company
Will have expended close to 200 10
improvements. lhe orc Of the prop
erty shows an average Of l.6 per cent
mercury, although some of the ore
blocked out will run higher, and the
company owns 500 acres of ground on
practically all of which is showing of
cinnabar. A plant Of less than one
half the capacity of that installed by
the Nevada company upon an adjoining
property is said to be producing profits
of $4,000 monthly, and it is presumed
that the new furnace will admit OF q
monthly profit of from 100000 to $685.
900 monthly.
Up to about year ago there had
been expended upon this property about
100000 by the Davis brothers, who To-
Gated this property in 1907, about the
same time that they located the Ma
tional district. Since this time the
ore tonnage has been practically dou~
bled. A short time after these two dis
tricts were located An exchange of in
terests was made between the Davis
brothers and their partner, who were
equally interested in the famous Ma
tional property and the ground now
owned by the Nevada Cinnabar com
pany. The Davis brothers exchanged
their interests in the National district
for their partners interest in the
quicksilver property,
Quicksilver mines as rule are long
lived, some Of the mines in California
having been worked continuously from
1854, paying many millions in profits
to the owners. Authorities assert that
the Nevada district under discussion
will prove to be one Of the best in
the country, although there has been
little said or known about it. The
treatment of such ores is a simple mat
ter, the ore carrying almost enough of
its own fuel for reduction and very
little wood is required to start smelling

Salt Lake People.

The present owners of the property
are Salt Lake men, the mine having
been sold to T, A. Sweet and associ-
ates about year ago by r. J. Evans.
The owners are ultra conservative
about releasing any information in re-
gard to this proposition, there being
nothing to sell and the desire being
uppermost to avoid anything partaking
of the character of boosting But they
have one of the coming big dividend
makers Of Nevada, aud those knowing
the property assert that the Davis

they will have nothing to regret in
their trade, whereby they lost the Ma
gold propositions ever found in Nevada.

Law May lnvalidate Several Saloon
Petitions


Beresford-At a meeting OF the To-
cal city council, held for the purpose
OF passing upon the petition asking
FOR vote upon the license question
at the coming election. surprise was
sprung by August Frieberg, attorney
for the Enforcement league. in the
form of new law enacted with an
emergency clause during the recent
session of the legislature. which is of
vital interest at this time. but which
has not been generally made known
over the state. The new law is the
portion of the following. which defines
freeholder. and in all probability will
invalidate many of the petitions Of
fered over the state asking for vote
upon the license question The law
as amended reads:

town or city, 10 be fled with the audi
tor or clerk of such township. town or
city thirty days before election, which
petition shall state that a vote is de
sired upon such question. Provided
that "freeholGer" as used in this act
shall be defined to be one who owns
the legal title to, or owns an undivided
share or interest in at least one entire
lot or parcel of ground within the
township, town or city where such
vote is to be taken, which lot or par
eel of ground shall be of the size com
monty recognized as a full lot in the
townships in which said vote is to be
taken, said parcel of ground must be
at least one acre. and in such town
ship, town or CITY, together with the
improvements thereon. such interest
in such lot or parcel Of ground shall
be of at least the assessed valuation
Of S25, as shown by the returns of the
last assessment previous to the sign
ing Of the said petition, and that each
of such freeholders shall have been
a freeholder for at least one year. and
n qualified voter of such township,
town or city for one year previous to
the date of such election.
The fact that the new provision is
not generally known over the state is
due to the arduOus task of the secra
tary Of state in certifying TO the vari-
gency laws that were passed by the
legislature.
