This money will bo sent ont to the shareholders on the And of February and It will bring ths total up to 1,606,341. 07. It is generally understood that the mine will continue the payment of 10 cent dividends, quarterly, throughout the yearlllO, the officers being confident that it will be possible to maintain such distributions. A dividend of 10 cents per share on Chief Cons, stock calls for a total of $88,423.30. During the year 1010 four dividends were declared. The first was 13 H cents per share and each of the others I cents per share. The reason for reducing the amount of tha quarterly dividend last year was tha heavy expenditures which the company made for new equipment and In carrying out tha most extensive development campaign in the mines history. To some extent operating expenses will bo reduced during the present year and this will make possible larger dividends. While the officers of the company have not yet given out reports for tha past year's business it Is generally understood that the gross receipts for ore sold wars heavier than for any previous year, but net earnings were cut down materially by heavy expenditures. iu and the new agreement entered Into min with the mining company calls for a u .
