German steamer Luxor of the Cosmos
line arrived here yesterday from Coro-
mel, Chile, where she took on a full
cargo of coal and provisions. When
she reached this port she had a cargo
of only $50 tons, and it is stated that
the remainder was transhipped to Ger
man cruisers. The Peruvian authori-
ties announced that the Luxor would
be detained here.
The Luxor sailed suddenly without
clearance papers, from Coronel, No
vember 20. The Chilean government,
suspecting her purpose was to take
supplies to the German squadron. or
dered that no Cosmos line steamers be
permitted to coal in Chilean ports
pending an investigation of the case
This indicates that the Luxor met the
German squadron under Admiral Won
Spec before it passed into the south
Atlantic, where it was defeated by the
British.

TONOPAH WEST END
ANNOUNCES DIVIDEND

The West End Consolidated Min
ing company has declared a dividend
of five cents on the issued stock of
that company, equal to a disburse-
ment of $S9,424. The statement,
which was issued Saturday from
the headquarters of the company in
Oakland after the close of the stock
board in San Francisco took every
body by surprise here and was re-
garded as a portent of an early set
Element of the apex litigation, al
though there was nothing official to
sustain this theory. Judge HOratio
Alling. one of the counsel for the
West End, spent yesterday here
checking yer the findings of the
engineers, and when asked about a
probable settlement remarked that
he knew nothing to warrant the re-
port.
This makes the third dividend
declared by the West End company.
The last previous one, on March %,
1914, called for the distribution of
ten cents a share, or just double
the amount of the present declara-
ton. This makes a total of $357,696

the company entered the dividend

Situation in New York
in Regard to Mining Properties

States have too few of them: the
present number is so small that in
New York or Boston the rejection of
a property by n one of the half
dozen or SO possible buyers discredits
it more than it should, and a second
presentation can only be made at a
considerable disadvantage. Under
these circumstances it is most natural
that these same buyers should realize
their control of the market and
should, quite without concerted &C
ton, eliminate anything like activf
competition. Mining profits lie large
ly in successful development, and it
is in this development, rather than
in operation pure and simple, that
the public would like to participate.
There lies in this situation a part of
the mining field that is not properly
occupied. The matter is one of view
point or mental attitude, perhaps,
than anything else, but the
condition is n concerning which
both property owner and investor
have some just cause for complaint.

HERBERT G. HUMPHREY
is NOT A CANDIDATE

Herbert G.. Humphrey stated to his
friends this morning that he would
not be a candidate for nomination
for the office of lieutenant governor,
says the Reno Gazette. Mr.. Humph-
rey stated that he had arrived at
this conclusion as a result of mature
elaboration and that his conclusion
is final. He had not filed his nomi-
nation papers.
Although the field seemed clear,
he believed his duty to the state as
we'll as to himself lay in another di-
rection.
Conditions have changed" said
Mr.. Humphrey, "since I tacitly gave
my consent a week ago 20 be a can
didate. At that time there seemed
to be a dearth of candidates who
were identified with the business in
terests of the state. A strong senti-
ment had developed and business
men were being urged to interest
themselves. even at the sacrifice of
their business. These conditions
have changed materially within the
last week, and conditions that existed
at that time are not so apparent to-
day."
