Marvellous Dividends American Mines

When dividends of $7S,772,612 were
paid in the 9 months of 1913 by 146
American mines and works it was
thought that the zenith had been
reached But this record has been
far outclassed by the declarations OF
1856 companies during the months of
1916. According to reports made to
Mining and Engineering World, these
companies divided among fortunate
shareholders the magnificent sum Of
S165, 5,3O0 This is equivalent to
nearly 25 per cent of the total divi-
dends paid during the last 10 years.
With the exception of 1908, when dis
bursements amounting to $32,351 ,450
were paid during the 9 months period,
dividends have been fairly regular,
ranging from approximately $4,000
600 up.
September proved the mots remun-
eratiye in point of dividends paid of
any single month in the history of the
industry, when disbursements totaled
$29,551, 500, but $2,799,581 less than was
paid during the first months of 1908.
OF the September payments the cop
pers were responsible for $17, 169,994
the gold silver lead zinc properties
$7,243,744, and the metallurgical conf
panies $5,138,131. Owing to the fact
that a part of the earnings of the Sc
curties holding companies are derv-
ed from holdings in other companies,
their dividends are not included
among those paid by the so-called oD-
Grating companies included in these
reports The $4,200,OO0 declaration of
the Kennecott Copper corporation and
a goodly part of the $3,6OO,OOO of
Phelps, Dodge & Co., besides others,
could rightfully be added to the total
for the copper properties, as these
earnings were derived solely from OPP
erations of properties directly owned
by them.
For record of achievement by a
single industry the performance OF
American mines and works in the
years past is little short Of wonderful
for the companies paying dividends in
1916 have made disbursements since
their incorporation totaling 1926

SENATOR JOHN HART
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
STATE COMMITTEEMAN FOR IDA.
Ho SAYS STATE SAFE FOR
HUGHES, ALSO NATION.

Statewide republican victory car
rying a clean sweep for state and ma
tional tickets, looks certain in the eyes
OF John Hart, member of the republic
can national committee from Idaho
land state senator from Jefferson
county, who came to Boise Wednes-
DAY night with Senator Borah from
Pocatello. Senator Hart is one of the
leaders in the Gem states political
councils and, as one high in the ranks
of the party. keeps a close eye on the
state situation.
Il never felt more confident of re-
publican success than | do now" said
the senator at the Owyhee Thursday.
Idaho is normally republican and
the voters are thoroughly won to the
principle of protection. They realize
the necessity for revising the tariff,
for the products of the west are men
aced by the free list, while those of
the south are protected. When the
European war is over our markets will
be flooded by foreign made goods that
can be produced much cheaper than
under our standards. The western
producer, particularly, is in desperate
need of this protection, and on No
vember will register his protest
against things as they stand.
Object to War Tax
Another thing: A democratic
tariff has lost us so much revenue
that we find ourselves in the position
of being forced to institute war tax
to replenish a depleted treasury when
We are at peace. All the word-ma-
gicians of democracy cannot satisfac-
torily explain this condition.
! II am confident that the state will
go for Hughes because he is the high
est type of citizen in every respect and
has been thoroughly tried in public
life. The people know that he is
equal to any occasion that might arise.
This confidence in the man is not Sec
tional, but general. He didn't seek
the office. The nomination came to
him because the people of the entire
country demanded that he be their
candidate, feeling that in him they
would have someone to deal with the
great questions that must inevitably
arise with the decision, dignity and
credit that BELTS the president of the
United States.
Sees State Ticket Victory.
Regarding the state ticket there
IL no question In my mnid but that
the entire republican list will be
elected. They are all good men. Da-
Wis is the type of man to make a
splendid governor. Idaho has shown
in previous elections that she is re-
publican by from $4,000 to 10000.
There is no good reason why any re-
publican should not support the party
candidates this year. and, since senti-
ment seems to be so Overwhelmingly
republican, | can see no reason for
rot expecting a complete victory"

in the latter months of the year the stu

ness sense. who would expect the price of
the finished product to remain stationary
while the market price of the raw ma
terial from which the finished product
gasoline, is made was advancing 200 to
400 per cent?
Another point which the survey en-
tirely overlooks is the fact that the pro-
ducers of crude petroleum are only now
getting a fair price for their oil, whereas
last year when crude oil prices were de-
pressed in the spring and early summer
the oil producers in the fields that yield
light crude of the grade gasoline is made
from were in many instances barely
clearing their expenses. In some in
stances they were actually losing money.
IN 1913, when light crude oil in the
southwest was selling at s1.05 a barrel.
gasoline was retailing in Houston at 20
cents gallon. Today when light crude
oil in the southwest is selling at s1.20 to

five times in cost to the manufacturers
