Seventy American companies which
depend on the operations of mines and
works for their profits began the year
1913 by paying dividends In January
totaling $12,7S7,051. This compares
with the $l0,5o2, 1919 paid by Al com
panies during the same period in 1912
The copper properties, 12 in num-
Der, all but one in the United States
lead for the month with $5,3o9oS9 to
their credit over half of this amount
or $3249373, was disbursed by the An
aconda Copper company, which dur
ing 1912, paid dividends totaling So
74S,125. To date this company has
enriched shareholders to the extent of
$72,269,0OS.
F'ifty-two Of the 70 companies men
toned above, cIassed as gold silver

959,S4S to last months total which
compares with $4,514,S11 paid by 81
companies during January, 1912. A
year ago Goldfeld Con. paid divi-

But one metallurgical company paid
dividends in January, the U. S. Smelt
ing, Refining and Mining company
disbursing $6SS,565 to owners of its
stock, $425,30S going to preferred
holders and $263,257 to common.
Five securities holding corporations
from profits from their own opera
tions and from holdings in other com
panies, divided 1899 $50 among its
shareholders.
Judging by the above, there is every
reason to believe that the year 1912
will be one of the best in the mistory
of the mining industry from the
standpoint Of dividend payments.

in British Columbia. Not much has
been heard about the matter since
nor have any notable finds of dia-
monds been reported in the past year
That diamonds really are found in
British Columbia is the announce
ment of II. w. Brock, director of the
geological survey of Canada. Stones
of commercial value have been found
in the glacial drift across the internal
lional boundary in Illinois, Ohio and
other states. These have no doub'
come from Canada, but the original
locality has not yet been found.
The rock now found to contain dia-
monds in British Columbia is a peri
dotte Of the variety known as dunite,
consisting Of Divine and chromite. The
rock specimens in which the diamonds
were found were collected on Divine
mountain near the Tulameen river,
where G.. Camsell, an experienced
member of the Canadian geological
survey, had been making an eXamina-
ton on behalf of that organization.
Samples of the rock were submitted to

chromium minerals. In the course of
his examinations Mr.. Johnston secur-

The Resolutions.

The resolutions which the legislat-
ure is asked to adopt are as follows
Whereas, it appears from investi-
cation recently made by the senate
of the United States and otherwise,
that polygamy still exists in certain
places in the United States, notwth-
standing prohibitory statutes enacted
by the several states thereof and,
Whereas, the practice of polygamy
is generally condemned by the people
of the United States, and there is de-
mand for more effectual prohibition
thereof, by placing the subject under
federal jurisdiction and control, at the
same time reserving to each state the
right to make and enforce its own
laws relating To marriage and di-
vorce now, therefore,
Resolved, (f the assembly concur),
That the application be made to con
gress, under the provisions of article
V Of the constitution of the United
States, whereby polygamy and polyg-
anus cohabitation shall be prohibited
and congress shall be given power to
enforce such prohibition by appropri-
ate legislation.
Resolved. That the legislatures Of
all other states of the United States
now in session, or when next con-
vened, be and they hereby are re-
specially requested to join in this APP
plcation by the adoption of this or
an equivalent resolution.
Resolved, further, That the sccrc-
tary of state be and he hereby is di-
roctcd to transmit copies of this APP
plication to the senate and house of
representatives of the United States
and to the several members of the
said bodies representing this state
therein also to transmit copies here
of to the legislatures of all other
states of the United States
