Approaching June.

Oh, Miss June, she comes a-dancing where
the sunbeams are a-glancing
And the leaves begin to rustic in the
breeze.
Impatiently we ponder. but we know
she's over yonder,
BY the laughter and the nodding Of the
trees.
We have waited for her smiling that is
winsome and beguiling
Where the butterflies are drifting bright
and gay;
And the bird that gravely listens where
the water glides and glistens
Seems to hear her footsteps not SO far
away.
Other seasons tell of duty, but it's only
for her beauty
That we cherish her remembrance
through the year.
Her hair is full of roses and her every
smile discloses
A reminder of earths gentleness and
cheer.
Though her gifts are not SO many. we are
not requesting any.
IL she'll only bring the blossoms and
the dew.
And she seems as she draws near you.

When they simply smile and say. How

NEVADA HILLS
REPORT FOR
SEPTEMBER
N A NJ EMENT EXPECTS TO
PLACE COMPANY ON A
DIVIDEND BASIS. p.

The final report Of the Nevada
Hills Mining company at Fairviewi
for the month Of September, has just
been issued, and shows that the net
profits for that month were consider
ably less than in August, due in
large measure to the companys mill
having treated a lower grade product
in the latter month. The showing,
however, is such as to indicate that
the company will continue to make
good profits from it's operations, and
will be enabled to begin paying divi
dends at a day not far distant.
Since it's reduction plant has been
in operation and its water system
completed the Nevada Hills company
has paid off about s5sO,O00 indebted
ness, which was incurred for the
purpose of equipping the mine anC
erecting the mill, has written off al
ample sum for depreciation and hai
been placed upon a profit earninl
basis, free Of debt and with liquit
resources Of nearly S164,OO0 OF thi
sum nearly $4,000 is cash on ham

Operating costs Of the Nevad
