SILVER MINING AT COBALT


Cobalt has been to Canada in the
matter of silver production. Cobalt,
since Its discovery in 1903. has min-
ed many millions of dollars worth Of
the white metal, and its mining COM
panies have distributed dividends in
excess Of $7O,O00,OOO. The list of
dividend payers includes twenty-sev-
EN- companies, besides private syn
dicates. OF the twenty-seven COM
panies nine have paid 100 per cent
or more, EIGHT have disbursed over
200 per cent, three have paid out 300
per cent and one has beaten the
worlds dividend record by paying
dividends amounting to 25,OO0 per
cent on its capital stock.
Cobalt is not what 1t was in it's
early days. The high grade ore in
many of Its mines has gradually
changed to low. grade product, and
a much heavier tonnage has to be
extracted than formerly in order to
earn dividends. Thus, while the Co
balt mines are at present employ
ing three thousand men-the largest
number ever employed at one time
in the camp = the 1917 production
probably will not exceed much over
$4,000, 900 ounces as compared with
21,5O0,OOO ounces in 1915. Assuming
this estimate to be approximately
correct, the lesser 1917 production
will be worth about $15, 900, 900 while
in 1916, when prices for silver were
considerably under existing quota
uons, the output was valued at $13,-
100000.
This prospective $4,000 900 silver
production will not be velvet" or
anything like it. Labor Is unprece
dentedly high and mining supplies of
adj kinds have increased in cost any
where frcm twenty per cent up to
800 per cent Taking all factors of
expense into account, it is estimat
ed that the mining companies will
pay out close to $4,000, 900 to mine
their $15,OOOOOO worth of silver.
With mining costs so great, only
the increased quotation for CONNER
cial bar silver permitted the contin-
ued operation of the Cobalt mines
in a large way. If the metal were
to go below sixty cents an ounce un-
der present conditions, most OF the
camps mines would be obliged to
suspend or curtail their work But
in normal times, when labor and sup
plies can be had at reasonable fig
ures. mining cost are SO reduced that
Cobalt can mine Accent silver at
profit, despite the fact that the ore
at depth is of lower grade than it
was nearer the surface, when initial
development was under way.
There still is an abundance of sill |
ver-bearirg ore in the district al. |
though the camps extreme fecundi- |
ty appears to be ON the wane. What
ever may be the camps future, it's |
past record shows that original pur-
chasers of Cobalt mining shares have
received handsome returns On their |
investments; and these profits are
being steadily augmented by fur
ther MISUNDERSTANDING & Financial |
Record.
The silver mines of Colorado are
famed for noh ores at great depth.
and the demand for silver in all parts |
of the world will undoubtedly see |
our mines work ed as never before. |
The price of metals will be high for
several years to come and now is |
the time for capital to invest in min
Ing that will ray a greater dividend |
on amount invested than in most |
lines of business.

CITIZENS READY TO
 SERVE AS VOLUNTEERS.
New London is Raising a Corps of
 One Thousand Guardsmen.

Splendid progress is being made in raising the New London volunteer guard of 1000 loyal citizens and it was announced by the general committee Friday afternoon that the whole en- roElment would undoubtedly be com pleted within a few days.
 The main object at the present time is to provide preliminary military training. There are undoubtedly many who will volunteer who could not be accepted for field service but who nevertheless with proper instruction and drilling could render valuable as- sistance at home, as constables or otherwise It should be borne in mind that there are two classes of volun- teers in the present campaign-those who simply agree to take the training and those who promise that in the event of actual war they will go to the front or wherever assigned.
 It had been anticipated that the fire companies would furnish. . gener- ous proportion of the voiSnteers and the expectation was substantiated at the monthly meeting of the Oc6ord Hose company Thursday evening when following enthusiastic speeches by Foreman Fitzpatrick and Secretary Basely it was unanimously voted to offer the services of the entire com pany to the state in case of emergen- cy. Every man present volunteered and it is expected that those who were not there will take similar action.

CONDUCTOR HAD MARROW
 ESCAPE. FROM DEATH.
Current Went Through His Body
 When He Grabbed Wire.

While engaged in repairing a broken trolley pole on the Broad and State street car, New Eondon, of which he was conductor, Henry Whittlesey sus- tained painful burns about the hands Friday about ss12.So o'clock near the corner Of First and Broad streets when the trulley current of $50 volts passed through lis body. He probably owes his life to the quick action of Motor man Thomas B. Paris in climbing to the roof of the car and breaking his hold upon the wire.
 The trolley pole had become de- tached from its fastening on the roof of the car. Whittlesey climbed up and had repaired the break. He was about to descend to the ground when he slipped and almost lost his balance With one hand he grasped the trolley wire. while the other, in it's reach for support, fell upon the trolley Dole thus forming a contact which permit ted the current to pass through his body.
 His efforts to loosen his grip upon either pole or wire were unsuccessful until Paris had reached his side and pulled him away by sheer strength The fact that Paris wore a pair of leather gloves made him immune from the current

WILL MOUNT GUNS
 AT ITS PLANT.
Prseaution is Being Taken in the
 .' Event of War.

By order of the officials of the New London Ship and Engine company, guns are to be mounted on the boats owned by the company and one is to be mounted on the wharf as well. The guns are the Davison aeroplane gun that is being used extensively in avia- ton work in Europe. They were in- vented by Gregory C., Daviscn, vice president of the New London Ship and Engine company, and are the only suc- cessful non-recoil gun in the world. They afford ample protection and could sink a submarine at a several mile radius.
 This precaution Is being taken in the event war is declared and the company will in no small way protect its plant from a German submarine attack The gun on the wharf will also be equipped with a. powerful searchlight. and men are continually on the lookeut-o-+7- e--,..s.- ,ers
 If a state of war, does exist. this precaution taken by the company will be in vogue until the navy department can lay nets at either end of Long Island sound.
 The Dawson aeropFane gun can shoot a projectfle that will sink any submarine af1oat and is especially worthy of note at this time because of the discussion as to whether or not guns to arm merchantmen from sub- marine attacks are commercially pro- curable.
