DIVIDENDS OF FIRST
 QUARTER FROM MINES
 GREATEST IN HISTORY
Years Disbursements From Copper Producers Promise Tc Eclipse, Those Made In Any Year Heretofore

The dividends disbursed by B cop per mining companies in the first
 quarter of 1916 were approximately S27.O0o,000 according 10 compilations made by the Finascial World. which goes on 10 say: Their actual earn
 ines during the quarter aggregated S75. .291. .120 This is calculated on d production of 424 $50 000 pounds oi copper produced at Sh cents aver age cost. and sold at close to 26 cents per pound. Actual dividends paid were therefore less than half of the earnings.
 The total dividend disbursements for the year 1916 bid fair to exceed S125.000.00O by very substantial amount-unless some unforeseen world catastrophe dislocate this na- tion's domestic and export industries.
 Dividends paid by the strictly cop Der companies in previous years. 57.- 254.454 in 1915: S41.511.4S9 in 1914: $50. .242, ,695 in 1913 )previous record year). about s52.OO0 900 in 1912 and close to SSSOOO.OOO in 1911 and 1910. The present year will be the first time in history that the s100. .0O0. .10O mark in yearly copper dividends will have been even nearly approached. let alone passed.
 The net profits of the thirty odd dividend paying copper producers will exceed $500. 100000 for year 1916. at tho rate of earnings in the first quar- ter. The actual profits of the year promise to greatly surpass this sum. owing to greater production in sue ceeding quarters. and presumably bet ter prices for output
 As against net profits of over SS00.- 900. GOO from but thirty odd companies in 1916. the entire gross value of the rODDer production in this country in 1915 was "only'' $295. 100000 And last year itself made a record in this respect. It is difficult to grasp the full significance of this fact: that the net profits this year promise to ex- 1 ceed the entire gross value of the | metal turned out in any year in The i history of the worlds copper trade.
 Most assuredly the cOnper com | Danies are now in the midst of the most profitable era in the history of . -he worlds copner industry

SERBIAN MINES MAY PRODUCE
 LARGELY
If Country Remains Under Austrian Control The Min eral Resources Will Be Brought To The Front

BEL GRADE, Serbia, June 17.-Ii
 Serbia remains under Austro Hun sarian control after the establishment of peace the Balkan state probably will take a prominent position among the worlds metal producing countries. as the present cOnquerors of Serbia are laying plans to develop the min eral resources. In antiquity the cOun- try was the largest gold-producer in Europe. It's copper mines had. prior to the conquest of the Balkans by the Turks. developed to a considerable extent those exploited by a French company at Bor netting annually as much as 50 per cent of the capital in vested.
 Gold has been won in Serbia in re- cent years principally through placer mining. The production was small, however. as work was confined as a rule to localities which had been al ready worked over by the ancients.
 Silver is found only in conjunction with other metals The copper ores of Ror contain from 96 to 120 grammes per ton. The lead ores of Postenje. near Krupanj. and those of Avala on the Crneni mountain also furnish con siderable silver Al Ayala quicksilver is also found. Tin is found at several points. but so far no efforts have been made to develop the deposits Arsenic exists at Jasikova.
 Copper ores occur in great quantity. Most of them resemble in character and geological deposition those of Butte. Montana. The mines at BOr. notably the one known as Cukadul Ian. are especially rich. Ores taken from this mine are 6 per cent copper. which refines into 9O.62 per cont con per. and gives per ton 24 to 20 srammes gold 96 to 120 erammes sil yer. Invested is a capital of 5.500.- 000 francs. In the year 1912-13 the production of ore was 7600 tons
 Iron also is found in Serbia. espe- cially in tho northeastern parts of the country. The lack of coal and coke ment of the iron and stee Industry. the small output of iron ores having been transported on the Danube to points in Austria Hungary.
 Before Serhia's mineral resources ran he developed profitablv. an ex tension Of the c0untrv's railroad svs- em must take place. it is pointed out. At present the ores are generally rarted or carried bv hack animals Many of the best deposits can be reached bv short narrowgauge lines rom the Danube. so that greater ac- 'essihilitv from this convenient Wa erwav will not entail prohibiti:e in | restments.

SALOME Is CENTER
 OF GREAT INTEREST
 IN MINING WORLD
Harqua Hala And Harcuvar Mountains In Western Ari- zona Are Attracting Great Attention From Many

SALOME. Ariz, June l7-lnvestors and prospectors are pouring into the
 Hercuvar and Harqua Hala noun tains, adjacent to Salome and Wen den. The boom which this section
 has awaited SD long seems fairly un- ier way. Mining men of the east. Nevada and California are writing to
 inquire about this country or are com
 ing in to see for themselves. Few come without at least opening negoti- ations for some of the promising pros poets so plentiful in the home of hish-grade."
 Among the recent visitors was E. A.
 (Rs5) Montgomery. of Skidoo and Montgomery Shoshone fame. He came
 in with Didrick Rogers. of Los An geles. who has the MinniZona prop erty. near the Harqua Hala. and left
 with options on several groups. A satisfactory termination of his nego- tiations will mean great increase in activity around Harqua Hala. Mir. Montgomery started in the mining game as practical prospector ana. has become one of the most success full operators of North America. He has been associated with such men as Charles M Schwab and E. l.. Dohe- ney. so his approval means something. At present he is largely interested in Mexican oil ventures.
 This country is receiving attention particularly from people who are looking for properties where pay ore .I.. T not have to be spent in searching for values at depth Few districts can show such highs grade values at or near the surface. The regular series of ledges and dikes which seam the Harcuvars from the Glory Hole to- Cunningham Pass, twelve miles east, are 9 source of constant surprise to the newcomers.
 The region around Tank Pass and Cottonwood, in the Harcuvars north of Salome. has been neglected largely because of it's inaccessibility. Now, however, the Cobrita Mining Company is spending several thousand dollars to build an excellent wagon road Tank Pass. This road will be carried along a hogback to Salome. some eight miles away. It will af- ford easy access not only to the Go brita but tO a number of other prop critics which lie through Tank Pass. New claims are being located there and work is being started on nub- Der of old ones.
 When the road is finished. which will be in about two weeks. the Co- brita will become regular shipper. | The main tunnel al the Cohrita is | now in 1f0 feet with the face in ore that is from S5 to i5 per cent copper and carries S65 ton in gold Sop | ing above the tunnel level has been l commenced and a winze is beine sunk | Dn the ore. When the winze is down ! so feet another level will be run and | Inc ore blocked out. A contract has | just been let for the driving of the | tunnel another 100 feet.

A TRIBUTE
OF RESPECT
10 the Memory of John Law.
renee by His Oldest
Friend
JOHN R. EVANS

The body of Mr.. John Law-Z
renee, an old resident of Earling-.
ton, and an old veteran miner
with the s.. Bernard Mining Co.
was brought here from st. LOUIS
to be buried in Oakwood Gene
tary by the side of his wife who
died about 30 years ago.
Uncle Johnnie as he was fami-
liary called, was 81 years old and
born in Durham County, England
and came to Darlington in the
year 1870.
For the last II or l5 years
Uncle Johnnie was put on the re-
tired list and was a pensioner,
and a few years ago moved to st.
Louis to his daughters where he
died on the 3rd inst., and
was brought here for interment
the St. Bernard defraying all ex-
penses.
The body was taken to the
home of Mr. David Smith and
the funeral service conducted by
Rev. Grant, of the M. E. Church,
Two years ago the old man re-
allied he was a great sinner and
sought saviour In the person of
Jesus Christ and committed him
self to the mercy of God and
gave testimony that his sins were
pardoned.
The st Bernard Mining Co., de-
serve great praise for the kind
treatment and generous feeling
shown towards John Lawrence
bearing all the expense incurred
in the burial, and it is worthy of
note that the "old st. Bernardo
is ever ready to take care of their
old worn out veteran miners
while they live and at death give
them a decent burial.

KENTUCKY TROOPS WILL

Personal Notes at The Fort

Fl. Thomas, Ky.-The boys from
the "Pennyrile" dealt the city boys
from Louisville a solar plexus blow
Saturday afternoon. Incidently the
officers from rural companies are ju-
bilant and have won the argument as
to whether the city bred chap or the
"outSide" guardsmen make the best
soldiers.
II all came about this way. The
entire camp had been wondering what
would come next after the United
States Medical examiners cut through
the ranks of the First and left only
mere peace strengths. The officers of
the regiment from Louisville thought
they had the flower Of the troop; from
the Kentucky brigade and were deeply
hurt when the examiners completed
their work.
Saturday evening the muster and
examination of the Third Kentucky
regiment which halls from the heart
of the "Pennyrile" was started. 1t
was with keen surprise the officers
from the other regiments sat back and
heard the result of the examination.
The F. Company from Providence
Capt. Arthur Donan. commanding
had gone through the examination
with ninety-seven men, ard three cf-
ficers, and lost only two men. Sill
more surprised were the officers when
B. Company from Henderson, Capt.
Harvey Higginson commanding, re-
ported that out of l27 men and three
officers only ten men had been re-
jected.
Officers from Louisville had thought
their troops from the city would stand
on par with the rest, but the whole
test collapsed when these boys pre-
sented themselves Physicians had
begun to think of what the young
men had been doing to turn up so
many physical defects.
1t was no wonder that Major j.
w. Grissinger turned to the captain
of F. company from Providence and
asked if he was sending his best men
in first. Major GrisSinger was still
more surprised when he had seen the
entire company and had gazed upon
the finest specimens of manhood that
has ever passed through the physical
tests.
The boys of the Third Regiment
may not have looked so snappy in
their uniforms, but underneath the
quality was there.
