Corn Show at Miles
City November 1920

Montana in all her glorious pas
has never had such a wonderful
opportunity to come before hel
sister states with flying colors, as
this fall when she celebrates the
harvesting of a bumper crop OF
corn at the Montana State Corn
show, Miles City, November 1911
1890.
With a discouraging outlook at
the beginning of the season, Mon
tana has pulled through where
several of the states of the north
west did not. While the weather
was extremely cold and the con-
ditions decidedly against corn
growing during June and July,
the month of August saved the
crop and has put this state close
second to Illinois in the grand
finals of all the states of the corn
belt. This year Eastern Montana
has enjoyed a longer frost-free
period than Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
consin and North Dakota. The
corn crop of the above named
states is the poorest in years,
while Montana has grown some
of the finest corn that has ever
been picked from Treasure State
soil.
The farmers of Montana, the
Yellowstone and Redwater Valleys
in particular, should make it 2
point to send in exhibits for this
Show, not only because OF the
chance 10 share in the nearly two
dollars of prize money |
TO be given, but to help make it
possible to send to the first nation
al corn show, to be held in st.
Paul in December, an exhibit
which will place Montana in the
front rank among the corn-grow-
ng states of the country. The
prize winning corn at the state
show will all be exhibited in the
latipnal competition
Every farmer is urged to exhib-
t and prize lists can be obtained
3y writing the Montana State Corn
Show, Miles City Montana.

EVERYBODY is doing if. Doing

Everybody is doing if. Doing
what? Building in Circle. It
surely is the case, because if it

an addition, remodeling or i'm
provement of some kind. There
is D. L. Eastburn, he has recently
added a nice little kitchen to the
present living rooms. Fred Pardis
also had to build some more and
has this week added IL x "a ad-
dition to his present building on

JULY GOOD MONTH IN
COPPER BUSINESS
BIG DIVIDENDS MADE
Disbursements TotaIed $685.
$50 and Were Participated in
BY Fifty One Companies of the
u. S. Mining Industry.

July proved an unusually good
month to holders of stock in Ameri-
can mines and works according to re-
ports made to Mining & Engineering
World. Disbursements totalled S.
6SS,98O and were participated in by
81 companies
The effect of the continued high
prices for copper is beginning to be
felt by the larger producers as evil
denced by the resumption OF dividend
payments by a majority of companies
which discontinued payments some
time ago The operators Of zinc and
lead mines. also have felt the inlu-
ence Of high prices and have increas-
ed their declarations.
While total disbursements during
the 7 months Of 1915 are considerably
behind those during the same period
in 1914, there is every indication that
the balance of the year will witness
such large increases over the returns
made i'm similar months in 1914 that
the years total will be much greater
than in that year.
From reports made to Mining & En-
gineering World, it is learned that 81
mines and works have contributed
$48. .492,497 to stockholders during the
2 months of 1915 ended with July.
These companies have total disburse-
ments to their credit amounting to
$919.244,561 on their issued capital of
S516, ,697,794.
SiXty-ive of the above companies
operate properties classed as GOLDFISH
ver-leadzinc producers and they dis
bursed during the z months of 1915,
$40 9,666,952, and since Incorporation,
1921 ,495 1913, on an issued capltaI of
1921 l,144,1 ,104. Forty-seyen of these
properties are operated i'm the United
States and they disbursed S15131,562.
Since incorporation dividend declara-
tions total S214,991,O49. Sixteen are
Canadian properties and their dis
bursements in 1915 total S3,942.569
and to date $5929S.Os7 Three are
Mexican properties, with disburse
ments for the Z months totallmg $592-
