Gratifying Dividend Disbursements in March

From reports made to Mining X Engineering World N is apparent that better times are in store for holders of stock in American mines and works. A careful compilation from these re- ports shows that 70 companies paid
 dividends during the first quarter of the present year amounting to $lS,- 202 .932 This is indeed a remarkable achievement when it is considered
 what the industry has had to contend with during the past months, for in
 no similar period in the history of the industry has it undergone so many adVersities. What with strikes, with war with low metal prices. etc, it
 has surely been time of trouble for the mine operator.
 In summarizing the dividends paid during the first quarter of the year We find that the 70 companies paying
 dividends in this period have total declarations to their credit of sSl5.-
 0S3,42 This was made on an issued apitalization of s633.427.107 or $1S1,- 656.313 in excess of outstanding capi- tai
 Sixteen copper companies contribut- ed to the quarters total $5.6S6.41S and
 since incorporation sS96.063.131. This is a return of $173. 669,225 in excess of outstanding capital
 Forty eight of the above companies operate properties classed as goold silver. lead. zinc producers; these paid dividends during the quarter totalins $7.9l4.031 and since incorporation $250. 0.915.375 on their issued capital of S112. 150,3l1. Thirty-onc of these operate properties in the United 1 States They paid to shareholders i 065. .l54 since Incorporation on out standing capital of S102, ,12I273. Thir- teen operate properties in Canada 1 paying during the quarter s1,169,91s and since incorporation $J4,S61 .53S. Three Mexican companies report dis
 bursements of s3T5.ii9.

Sale of Imperial Copper Holdings

The property of the Imperial Cop per company was sold in Tucson at public auction Wednesday by Re ceiver M. P Freeman and was pur- chased by F. IT, Hereford, at the minimum valuation, in the name of Leo Goldschmidt. The sale was in satisfaction of q mortgage of 5000 000 held by the Bankers Trust company. IL included seventy -eigh: mining claims in Pima and Pinal counties, eight mill sites. surface and underground equipment. 5000 shares in the Arizona Southern Railroad the mines at Silver Bell and the shelter at Sasco with the Southern Pacific station of Red Rock, and ?000 shares of the stock of the
 Southern Arizona Smelling company. Despite the size of the mortgage. the property brought only Sl04.000
 Hereford happens to he an attor- ney for the Calumet and Arizona Copper company and therefore there I is suspicion that he has been acting 1 for that corporation, which is known to be in the market for copper pro-
 petties of value and which now is opening up new ground in the Ajo country south of Gila Bend, and 1 known for many years the old Aio property. The C. and A. general offices now announce that the pro perty will be known as the Cor
 nelIa.' the name of the company 1 formed to take over the Aio holdings.

Quicksilver Mines of Spa;n

More than one-thrd of the quick silver produced in the world last year came from the mines of Spain. Those mines were worked centuries before Christ, and they seem good for centuries more. Other quicksilver supplies are discovered. exploited for time and exhausted. but no bottom has been found to the veins of Spanish cinna bar
 Many high authorities hold that oth- CT mineral resources of Spain are quite as splendid ir proportion as her SUI premacy in the production of mercury. Spanish iron ores is sometimes shipped to the United States, yet the mines are said to he worked in very clumsy. in- effective fashion.

Change Iron into Steel

The fact that the addition of less than 1 per cent of the carbon trans forms soft wrought iron into q ma . terial that may be SO hardened by heating and Guenching as to cut glass is still one of the mysteries of science Addressing the London r'araday Socie- ty. Sir Robert Hadfield stated that the more one investigates the more one is convinced that there is some extraor- dinary change in the combination of the carbon with the iron. and that his research prize of [ 200 is designed to promote 8 study of the subject in both England and America.

 mier .Asquith is reported to have re- piled to this sentiment recently that the matter was now under serious consideration on the part of the gov ernment. Some definite action op the part of the English government would be necessary, as otherwise the large investment necessary to erect sufficient smelting capacity to care for these Australian concentrates would be an investment carrying great risk unless these German contracts were cancelled. which would insure the continuous shipment of Austra- lian concentrates to new smelters in England or possibly to the United States, when peace is declared
 If as seems possible, Australian concentrates will he smelted either by English or American inteI ests. the control of the spelter situation would be shifted from Continental Europe to England and North Am (t'oDtinled on Page TeD)

Miners Lien Law

Contrary to the expectation of the people the miners lien law does not relieve mines under lease. bond or option from the lien of the miners for
 wages, but makes all mines operated under the law liable for not to ex- ceed two weeks wage of the miners. If the miner works after two weeks without being paid off he does so at his own peril, as the law makes it obligatory on the leaser to pay off every two weeks wage. The old law giving lien rights to the material man or storekeeper has been repealed.

THE ZINC SITUATION

 The abnormal condition of the zine market caused by the war and the activity in stocks of zinc producing companies makes very interesting d review of the zinc situation by the president of the American Zinc, Lead X Smelling company which We reproduce:
 Tt will be noted that the increase in the worlds production and con sumption of spelter has been at the average rate of about per cent per annum. The increase in pro duction and assumption in the Uni ted States has been about F per cent per annum.
