OUR PROFITABLE E
 MINES
Industry Yields Greater Returns Than Other Investments. Statistics Show Less Percentage of Failure in Legitimate Mining Than Other ln- dustreS.

It is not difficult to understand why people become so intensely interested in the purchase of mining stocks when the record of the mining industry in America is carefully considered.
 There is no other industry that has paid such wonderful profits as mining Holders of mining stocks during the year 1915 realized no less than $100,- O00,000 in profits through advances in the prices of these stocks during last year.
 The dividend record for the year 1915 is as wonderful as the record of increased values in stocks. The huge sum of $110,047,145 was paid in divi- dends during the year 1915 by Ameri- can metal mines and works and securi- ties holding companies. Exclusive of the holding companies, the metal mines and works included in last years figures hare r,aid total divi- dends Of S991, ,z77,175, Q return of in vested capital and $242, ,024.4 40 addi tional.

ris and his allies, that men had de- clined to re-enlist because Gulley was not popular and could not hold his men. Considering the fact that there were only eighteen members of Company "A" present, according to the count of the adjutant general, and the following signed declara- tion of confidence in Captain Gulley, the sentiment of the men, as may be seen, is practically unanimous: J. E. Duncan, E. W. Raley, Tom Allen, A. J. Linville, w. w. Crozier, c. M. Thompson, A. K. White, O. Gompert, T. Mason, Sergeant Con- rad, Jack Lunsford, H. L. Allen, J. w. Harshman and s. B. Rayburn. The men insisted that they were for Gulley, whether Harris liked it or not; that they felt their first duty was to their captain; that they were | loyal to him and intended to stay by him.
 Earlier in the evening the adjutant general had harangued the crowd, claiming that the men had been given ample notice to roster to full strength, and if they had not the fault was with them. He also claim | ed that all the loyal men were with him in the controversy and that as for the others, Well, they don't count" he declared. He denounced the publication in Phoenix newspa- pers, which set forth something of the weakness and. inefficiency of his regime.
 Tt is all a dirty trick, and brand practically every statement printed as
 a lie," said Adjutant General Charles
 w. Harris, when interviewed at the
 state house in regard to an article
 printed about his present relations
 with the guard.
 At times during the interview and
 the cross-examination to which he was subjected by three reporters, he
 would wax wrathy, and for a time lose
 his head. Usually, though, he was
 discinclined to make charges, except in the case of the deposed Captain
 GulIey.
 , As soon as Harris read the account
 of the trouble which is swirlins around his head, he issued orders tc Major E. P. Grinstead to place Capt a Gulley under arrest, subject to tht l action of a regimental court martial
 He was positive that Gulley had beer l. the source from which The Republi J. can and other state papers had SC f cured their information. Captail e Gulley was approached on the stree 2- by Major Grimstead and informed tha q he was under arrest. He was no d taken into custody, but is technical l. under the jurisdiction of the cour
 martial. He is forbidden to go t 2, the armory. The charges agains s Gulley are conduct unbecoming a l. officer and a gentleman. and prejl D. dical to the good order and militar if discipline of the guard"
 If When interviewed yesterday Captai e Gulley seemed to take his arrest yer e lightly He is sure he is in the rigt y and that nothing of a damaging natuI d can be proven against him. He is an, y ious to face the court martial and d positive that before the hearing is owe e, testimony so damaging to his oppol r. ents will be introduced as to cause

NATIONAL GUARD LINE UP FOR|
 GULLEY

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 91.-A vigrous attempt by enlisted men to elect Cap. c. V. Gulley, the deposed captain of Company "A" of the Ari- zona National Guard, to command new company of "A and B" display of enthusiasm for Guliey and a vote of confidence rendered him by nine- teen members of the company, were features of the meeting held last night at Armory hall at which the =adjutant general attempted to or .ganize. a new company, but failed be- cause the roster of men was not suf- f1cient.
 In addition to twenty-nine mem- bers of Companies A and who lined up when the sergeants of the two companies called the roll, and cone who came in later, making thirty in all, there was an attendance of possibly 100 other people, many of whom, frankly avowing that they had no desire to join the National Guard, as long as Harris was in command, were evidently attracted through curiosity to see what might happen.
 After the members of the two com panies lined up, in obedience to the orders of the adjutant, they were told that the two companies would be merged into one, but that the or ganization could not be effected un til a minimum of 65 men had been secured.
 q will permit you, however, tc take straw vote to indicate you choice for commanding officer" de clared the adjutant, ''the election tt ocur later"
 There were cries of: "We wan Gulley," among the men and E. w Raley, nominated Capt. Gulley, tn nomination being numerously an enthusiastically seconded.

companies. They have paid dividends to date amounting to $236, ,7S1, ,453 on an issued capital of $161, ,355.069, or more than 145 per cent on the origi- nal investment.
 Probably no mines of the world have paid greater profits than those of the Comstock Lode. The bonanza ore body of the Comstock. was found at a depth of 1900 feet in the Consolidated Virginia and California mines. This ore body produced the tremendous sum of $111, 1,975, ,761. These two bonanza mines paid dividends of $75,000,000.
 Consolidated Virginia advanced from IT cents a share to $780.00 a share. Other Comstock companies showed fully as marvellous profits. Belcher went from $1 to $1,525 per share, while Crown Point advanced from s2 to $1,S25 share.
 Such instances prove the oft-re- Ipeated statement that one good in- vestment is worth more than life time of labor. $25 invested in Con- solidated Virginia would have paid $109,9S0 if the stock had been pur- chased at the lowest price and sold at the highest. $25 worth of Belcher stock would later have been worth I$5S,1c5 and this amount invested in Grown Point at the lowest price would later have had a value of S22, 800. Every gold mining camp of Ameri- ca has it's story of wonderful profits and every camp has it's list of mil lionaries.
 ! One of the most interesting records i ol investment in mining is that af Uncle Sam. The territory of Alaska cost Uncle Sam $7,20O,OOO. Since it's purchase Alaska has yielded s275,- 000,000 in mining products alone. In addition to this,a total of about $300,- 1 i0GG,G00 has been produced in seal ! and fur, walruS, whalebone, fishery, end ether miscellaneous products. i The total of dividends paid by the ! iAmercian mining industry, plus the increase of value of mining stocks, is greater than profits paid by any other
 :u lustry of the country. These profits are greater than the combined ap-
 preciation and dividends of all the rail- roads and banking institutions of the i United States by large odds. | According to Bradstreetis and Dun's
 we discover the startling fact that
 but 36 per cent of all legitimate mine
 investments fail,while 54 per cent of general commercial enterprises are
 failures.

 ''The third line was captured by a. m., under the support of concentrated artillery and machine gun fire. The thir- teenth division continued their victorious advance and by [ a.m, had driven the enemy out of his fourth and fifth lines.

 showed that Alabama, with s1.S2 per cap- ita, was the lowest with three excep- tions. States with much less wealth than Alabama, he said, spend far more per cspita for education. The only remedy for this condition lies in the pending amendment which will be voted on in November, said the speaker. In concluding his adress MT. Bowie said
 My friends, I believe that this con- stitutional amendment will be adopted and I know that it ought to be. No higher duty rests upon us than to present our question to the people in the cam paign this fall, and then, if the amend ment is adopted, to follow it up by cam paigns in the counties which need to ex- ercise it in order that the funds may be available at the earliest practicable moment. The appalling degree of illiteracy which we find in many of the counties of our state is but as a drop in the bucket to the vastly larger number of bare literates and those imperfectly and inadeuuately educated who constitute the main bulk of our rural population. If we would see Alabama grow as she should if we would see Alabama take her rightful place in the galaxy of states, we must do more and yet more still, for our own sons and daughters. the states greatest asset.

NEWS OF ENSLEY

Educational Day was observed in Ems ley yesterday afternoon at the First Methodist church by the members of the Thread of the Story club, and large number of visitors. Dr. George H. Denny, president of the University of Alabama, was the principal speaker. The exercises were opened by prayer by the Rev. A. K. Wright, which was followed by selec- tions by Isaac Norris, which were very appropriate Mrs. L. R. Vines, president of the club, stated the purpose of the meeting and then introduced Senator H H. Holmes, who made a short talk, in which he stated that he advocated the bill which was passed by the recent leg islature allowing women to serve on the school board and that he favored woman suffrage. MT. Holmes then introduced Dr. Denny.
 In his address, Dr. Denny stated that the schools were fast becoming the in- telectual and social centers of the dir ferent communities in the state, and that the churches had proved a potent factor in the advancement of education. He stated that the people of Alabama would have to revise their laws and make larger appropriations for the schools throughout this state. In the last quar- ter of a century, he stated, there has been a greater advance in education than ever before and that the supreme task of citizenship was along these lines He further stated he believed in training the boys and girls of the state along general lines, and not on any one specific sub- ject so that no task which might be put before them would be dreaded and that character and service were probably two of the greatest assets any one could possess, and that men of this kind were needed in every community In closing he stated that the hope of Alabama lies in her schools and churches so that there would be a better social creed. an exalted patriotism and higher standard in local government

 | One of the main objections sent in is that a majority of the men working at the steel plant work one week days and the next week nights and that the night men are unable to sleep on ac- count of the noise made by the skaters There is a city ordinance prohibiting the skating on sidewalks and Captain Don' lon stated that all persons, regardless of age who violate. this ordinance vii be arrested and subjected to a fine.

 IN MAKING REPLY

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In reply to MT. H. P Merritt's insin- nations in his statement published in this mornings Age-Herald, wherein he seeks to convey the impression that I am paid by corporate interests to conduct a cam paign over the state, ostensibly in the interest of Hon. J. A. Carnley but really for Sam P Kennedy, l desire to state that in public discussion on the platform or through the press, do not insinuate . For six weeks. when out of the hos pital, I have been engaged in a speaking tour of the state in behalf of Mir. Carn- leys candidacy for president of the pub lie service commission I have done so and will continue the campaign because l know that Carnley is capable, honest and fearless in the faithful discharge of any public duty.
 I have. and am, giving my strength my time and what little means I can collect from a neglected law practice to the service of the people of the state in advocating the election to this inn portant office of a capable and honest man, who, unlike his two opponents, is free from corporate support, influence and domination.
 I, therefore. have no choice between H. F. Merritt and S. P. Kennedy. Their en- vironments unfit them to serve the people in this office.
 For this honest purpose on my part H. P. Merritt, in his insinuations through the press this morning, challenges not only my sincerity and honesty of pur- pose, but suggests that I am employed by corporate interests to make fight in behalf of Sam P. Kennedy I regret to have to answer through the press the irsinuation that I am making a cam pagn under false pretenses. It can an- swer no good purpose for me to bandy epuhets. with Merrittg But when he for any other man charges that during my 20 years of campaigning I ever accepted one dollar for my services or advocated d cause that I did not believe in, much less accepted pay to mislead the people that man is wilful and malicious falsifier of the facts.
 I have seen a copy of the Evans report This report was submitted to the gov -ernor by State Examiner of Accounts Mr.. Evans. Will H. P. Merritt deny that? It shows shipments at different periods of Valuable state property from the state farm at Speigners to II. F. Merritt's ad- dress in Tuskegee. which the state did not and has not received pay therefor. ! ss I have known of this transaction from the beginning of this campaign, but have conducted my part of the campaign upon a high plane; in fact, too high for the , mentality of Merritt to appreciate.
