TAFT SMILE Jn V At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Iron Blossom Mining Company held in the Khighrof flees yesterday, a dividend of 7xeents a share was declared, the booksto close January 18. The aggregating amount of the dividend will be about 870,000. This is the first of the regular quarterly dividends this year, and following so closely on the extra dividend of 3 cents a share came as a surprise to many of the stockholders of this company. The start off with 7 cents is taken by many as an indication that the company expects to be able to maintain this disbursement - throughout the year. An assessment of one half a, cent per share was levied on the outstanding stock of the King David Mining Company, the same being delinquent February 13th and for sale March. 6.
