Tabor School Notes.
kTx. as 49, susIlsI

Supt. j. w. Whiting presented
school with eighth volumes OF
good books last week. The gift
includes Garner and Lodges His
tory Of y. S. in four volumes, and
makes a very important addition
to our school Library. Teachers
and pupils join in thanking Supt.
Whiting for this helpful gift.
We hope that by the end of the
present week each and every boy
and girl who has been obliged to
stay out of school on. account of
corn picking will be back in
school once more. There is no.
thing so detrimental to good work
as irregular attendance, and we
are glad to note that most of our
boys and girls have learned that
this is so.
Our boys and girls are not lack
ing in generous spirit when it
comes disappearing a good move
ment for our soldier boys. Dur
ing the present Y. M. G. A. drive
for funds enthusiasm broke out in
school and when the excitement
was over it was found that $28. 90
had been subscribed. The contri-
buttons ranged all the way from
$500 down to a few pennies.

that farming is more risky than
mining, that 20 per cent more peo
pie loose money and fail in the
mercantile business than mining
and II per cent more loose money
in any other business than in min
ing. Mining is the backbone of
wealth and the spinal colum Of
all certainly. 1 believe that in
vestment in gold mining stock is
the most profitable Investment
and very much the safest, and is
the safest because your security
is the ore yourself, and the raw
material of money is the security
of your money in a good mining
investment.

Why People Buy Mining Stock.

1t is not difficult to understand
why people become so intensely
interested in the purchase Of min
ing stocks when the record Of the
mining industry in Ameria is care
fully considered.
There is no other industry that
has paid such wonderful profits
as mining. Holders of mining
stocks during the year 1915 realiz-
ed no less than 500, 600, 900 in
profits through advances in the
prices Of these stocks during last
year. es
The dividend record for the
year 1915 is as wonderful as the
record Of increased values in
stock, The huge sum of $11O,
047, 14H was paid in dividends dur
ing the year 1915 by American
metal mines and works and securi-
ties holding companies. Exclu-
sive Of The holding companies, the
metal mines and works included
in last years figure have paid to-
tai dividends of $991,477,175, a re
turn Of invested capital and $242,
023,4 additional. No other of
the nations industries has made
such a showing. Sixty two of the
companies included in the above
figures are gold mining cOmpa-
MES. They have paid dividends
to date amounting to 1926, 7S1.453
on nm issued capital of $161, 1855,
069, or more than 145 per cent on
the original investment.
Probably no mines of the world
have paid greater profits than
those of the Comstock Lode. The
bonanza ore body ofUhe Comstock
was found at a depth of 1900 feet
in the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines. This ore body
produced the tremendous sum of
Sill, 1915, 761. These two bonanza
paid dividends Of $4,000,
900.
Consolidated Virginia advanced
from II cents a share to $50 a
share. Other Comstock compa-
MES showed fully as marvellous
profits. Belcher went from ST. to
81 ,525 per share, while Crown
advanced from 50 to $i,825

Such instances prove the oft-re-
statement that one good in

Buoyancy Of Ice.

The specific gravity Of ice Is about
.92. When water freezes 1t expands
somewhat. Ice is, therefore, lighter
than water, and that Is why 1t floats.
The submerged portion Of a regular
ly formed iceberg in proportion to the
visible portion is as 81 to THAT is,
almost nine-tenths Of the iceberg Is
under water, and one-tenth above
water.

Mind Study.

A great part Of our study must be

paramount. In distribution the mind
Is the great factor and the hand but

Every gold mining camp of A.
merica has its story Of wonderful
profits and every camp has its
list of Millionairies.
The total of dividends paid by
the American mining industry,
plus the increase in value of min
ing stock, is greater Than profits
paid by any other industry of the
country. These profits are great
err than the combined appreciation
and dividends of all The railroads
and banking institutions Of the
United States by largo odds.
According to Bradstreets aud
Dunn's we discover the startling
fact that but Sc per cent of all le
climate mine investments fail,
while "a per cent of general COM
mercial enterprises are failures.
Government figures made pub
lie during 1915 shows the follow
ing returns on capital invested in
the country's various leading in
dustries:
Railroads, 3 per cent; National
banks, 6 ! 4 per cent; insurance,
II per cent; numbering, IA per
cent; manufacturing, 20 per cent;

An industry that is capable Of
paying such vastly greater profits

Stability of Mining.

The late Cecil Rhodes. made his
money in mining, and his success
was phenomenal. There is no re-
cord however, one speech which
he delivered in England n few
years before his death that will go
down in mining history as a CLASSIC.
These we're his words: 1 have
made a great study of the mining
question, and have statistics not
only Of Great Britton, and Africa,
but Of the world, carefully com
piled, relative to this proposition
SO that | might not be in error.

ing has offered greater induce
ments than any business in the
world 10 make quick and great
