ING DIVIDEND.
mining Age)

There are few. big, classy" mines
indeed which can be closed down for
two months out Of three and yet pay
a dividend for that quarter. That is
the proud achievement of Butte g.
Superior.
Dividend checks Of 75c per share f1r
December were received last week
They called for the disbursement OF
s2G3, 404 The Butte 4 Superior mine,
the worlds leading zinc producer, was
closed down for repairs from about
october 20 to Christmas week, or two
months Of the quarter for which the
dividend applies. During this time not
only were earnings nil, but the expen-
ditures for improvements were a cen
siderable drain on cash resources, and
therefore the ability to continue the full
dividends in these parlous war times
is all the more noteworthy.
Big Cash Assets.
Butte & Superior is ON easy street"
financially. The companys cash on
hand October l was $S0S, 1906. Be-
sides the cash on hand, products in
transit and other working assets gave
a net value of quick assets of over one
million and quarter dollars--to be
exact $1,S27,152. In the one month of
operation during the fourth quarter of
1914 the profits on the zine and silver
produced amounted to between $15Q,-
600 and $4,000, or almost enough to
pay the full dividend for the entire
quarter and that, too, despite very
low prices for zinc and silver.
AS the new year begins Butte & Su-
perior after payment of the dividend
December 81. should have a cash bali
ance Of approximately $750,000, and
Let current and working assets of
some $1,275,O00 in round numbers.
