GREAT PROFITS ARE
PAID TO INVESTORS
INVESTORS IN SHARES OF MINE
COMPANIES REAP RICH
REWARDS.

Many who have made successful
investments in other than mining
securities express wonder at the read
mess of the general public in placing
their savings in mining shares.
The mining and metallurgieal in
dustries were found ready to meet
the enormous requirements for me-
tails by the warning nations, being in
a better position than ever before to
do this. AT the same time these
mines and works were in a better pO-
sition than ever before to earn great
er profits than were possible before the
era of improved machinery and pro-
cesses made possible the economic
treatment under the supervision of ad-
vanced technical skill, of the vast low
grade deposits, particularly of the por-
phyries
AS a result of this great prepared
ness these mines and works to the
number of 40 paid to fortunate share
holders during the six months period
no less than double the amount paid
out during the entire year 1915. That
the dividends of these companies are
of regular occurrence is evidenced by
tho fact that since incorporation they
have distributed the enormous sum of
$1,15766S,O79.
Great as the profits mentioned above
they represent only part of the enor-
nous wealth that was taken out of the
mines during the half year of 1916. If
it were possible to compute the enor-
nous profits that are regularly dis
tributed by the many private and close
corporations, which are directly inter-
ested in the mineral industry, the fact
would be emphasized that fabulous
wealth is being created by American
mines and metallurgical works.
To report annually an output of
minerals in excess of $2,000,000,000 and
a dividend record that will approx
mate $30O,OO0OO0 in 1916 is a record
to feel proud Of
Stockholders are not alone in shar-
ing these vast profits earned by the
mineral industry in 1916, for labor also
was greatly benefited, mining COM
panies having been generous in in
creasing wages to the extent of many
millions.
In fact this country's prosperity,
during the half year, should be credit
ed largely to the great expansion in
cur mining and metallurgical indus
tries.

For many years California has
been the only state producing chro-
mite, and ii is stiIl the chief producer
Its production is far greater than ever
before. It's output during the first six
months of 1916 was more than three
times the greatest annual yield Of for
mer years and is still increasing. The
chief producing areas are the belts of
serpentine in the Sierra Nevada and
Coast Ranges, which are distributed
through score counties. Shasta
county is still the greatest producer
and contains the largest ore body yet
discovered in the state.
Nearly all chrome ore is taken out
of open quarries. Most of the ore
bodies are small and are lenticular in
shape, containing from | to 200 long
tons of ore. Few contain as much as
1N00 long tons of ore and many are the
source of blasted hopes in those who
exploit them with great expectations
Bodies of chrome ore have recent
ly been discovered in different parts
of oregon, where production has al
ready begun. The development of
some promising bodies is awaited with
much interest.

Like several other states, Oklahoma
has statute giving a lien to miners
and other employees engaged in devel
oping mines, for labor performed in
and about the mines. The supreme
court of that state was recently call

where an employe of a zinc mining
company claimed lien for services as
a Waterman over an abandoned mine
and for collecting accounts due the

that there was any right of the lien

However, this has not beer broached in formal way at any of the commission conferences, but there has been some talk of it informally. eff Birmingham owned the Tidewa- ter lines it would not only be valua- ble asset to the city but would be ar important link in any Warrior river development. The city has the right tc buy the lines and operate them to the river.
 "The privilege of the city purchas- ing the railway was granted in the omnibus bill that we put through at the last legislature. Personally, I am very much in favor of purchasing the Tidewater lines, though the commits sion has not discussed the matter for mally."
 Both Commissioners Truss and Hor- nady, the silent members of the board stated they had nothing to say in re- gard to the matter of purchasing the Tidewater lines. Commissioner Hor- nady merely said that he would in every way aid the company to reor- ganize. Commissioner Truss smiled en- igmatically when questioned.
 Commissioner Barber stated that if Commissioner Ward gave out any statement regarding the conference on the Tidewater matter is must be con sidered the attitude of the commits sion.
 "The press has the liberty of drawing it's own conclusions" said Commission CT Barber. "In my campaign I ad- vocated the purchase of the Tidewa- ter My views on municipal ownership are we'll known. If Commissioner Ward gave out any statement, I suppose that is the statement the commission wants published.''

RESENTS ACTION OF
 ASSOCIATION HERE: IN |NDORS|NG MERRITT
AnnistOn Chamber of Com merce Adopts Resolutions Supporting Kennedy for
 Utility Commissioner

Anniston, February 12-(Special.) ) The Anniston Chamber of Commerce at an enthusiastic meeting this afternoon resented the so-called hand picking on the part of one of the Birmingham business clubs in indorsing the can- didacy of Henry P Merritt for presi- dent of the Alabama public service commission, and in contravention of the action taken in Birmingham made strong indorsement of the candidacy of S. P. Kennedy, who is a citizen and wholesale grocer of Anniston, now president of the commission to which he seeks election. The resolutions adopted by the Anniston Chamber of Commerce follow:
 Whereas, the Merchants and Manu- facturers' association of Birmingham has indorsed for president of the pub lie service commission one of the op- ponents of the present incumbent, Hon. sam P. Kennedy of Anniston, as &C., tive member of this organization; and,
 Whereas, this action of the Bir- mingham association, which professes to be a nonpolitcal body, is an act of partisanship; and,
 "Whereas, the Hon. Sam P Kennedy is now and has been a resident of this city for more than quarter of century, is one of our principal busi- ness men; is extensively identified with manufacturing interests, and is presi- dent of one of our largest wholesale mercantile houses, a man of the high est integrity possessing business abil- , ity of a high order, and by experience is especially fitted for the office of president of the Alabama public serv- ice commission.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That the Anniston Chamber of Commerce views with surprise the conduct of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association of Birmingham as an attempt to dic- tate to the people of this state whom they shall elect as president of the Alabama public service commission, one of the most important offices in the state.
 Be it further resolved, That while this body is nonpolitical and does not intend to enter politics, it feels that under the circumstances justice and fairness require it to indorse the can- didacy of the Hon. Sam P. Kennedy for president of the Alabama public service commission.
 "Be 1t further resolved, That the secretary of this organization be and is hereby instructed to mail a copy of these resolutions to every business or ganization in the state with the re- quest that they be read at their first meeting"

 START UP THE HILL
 But from the lumber camp the col cnel appeared and with him in the lead we started up hill as sheer as a church roof The freshly cut path reached upward in short zigzag lengths. Its outer edge was shored with the trunks of the trees cut down to make way for it. They were fastened with stakes and against rain and snow helped to hold it in place. The soil, as the path showed, was of a pink stone. It cuts easily and is the stone from which cathedrals have been built. That suggests that to an ambitious young sapling it offers little nutriment. but the pines, at least, seem to thrive on it. For centuries the yhave thrived on 1t. They lowered over us to the height of eight stories. The ground be- meath was hidden by the most exqui- site moss and moss climbed far up the tree trunks and covered the branches. They looked as though to guard them from the cold they had been swathed in green velvet. Except for the pink path, we were in a world of green; green moss, green ferns, green tree trunks, green shadows. The little light
