IINIDfND OF NEVADA
CONSOLIDATED REDUCED

The Nevada Consolidated declared
a dividend OF Is cents a share in
New York last Tuesday. II required
the payment of $4,000 on March
81 and will give the company a total
of s17.o00.o00. The quarterly dis
bursement is a reduction from its
regular Of BIZ cents.
The local producer showed the
lowest cost Of any period of the year.
The most striking feature OF this
showing Is that on falling output
costs have lowered. although il is
automatic that costs rise as volume
of production recedes. For instance
in the case Of the Nevada Consolida-
ted, the regular dividend was paid By
the Nevada Northern Railway COM
pany. The application OF this
amount to % of the metal on the
reduced output basis brings down
the average cost per pound to rela-
lively wider extent.

JAMES CRONAN DIES
IN SAN FRANCISCO

Death again thinned the ranks of
the old pioneers of the state, when
James Cronan of this city died last
Monday at San Francisco. He was
Il years of age.
The deceased possessed such a ro-
bust physique that he carried his
years lightly until about three months
ago when he was stricken with
rheumatism. Since that time he has
been practically IN invalid. In the
hope that a change of climate would
prove beneficial to his shattered
health. he was taken to San Francis
20 by his wife. The trip to the coast
failed to prolong his life, although
everything within the gift of medical
science was done to accomplish that
purpose.
Mr.. Cronan has been a familiar
figure in every mining excitement of
any importance from Mexico to Brit
ish Columbia during the last thirty
years. During the boom days on the
Comstock he was in charge of one OF
the producing mines.
He was attracted to the Ely district
nine years ago, when the fame of the
district was being heraledd to all por-
tions of the civilized world. and has
been actively engaged in exploiting
the merits of claims within close
proximity to ground of recognized
worth. The deceased represented q
splendid type of the rugged path
finder that is rapidly disappearing
from the landscape, and his passing
will be missed by his large throng oil
admirers in this locality.
