The data are not altogether complete, but probably the record made for the month Is the best that the mines have ever shown In any one month. It Is safe to say that the three million mark was" reached. The dally ore and bullion settlements were very close to two million dollars. Besides there was the output or the Independent In-dependent smellers, and various other Independent concerns, easily good for another million. The bullion record of the Independent smelters for the month was upwards of four mllllou pouifds of copper bullion. It all carries good val ues, too, In gold and silver, besides the copper contained In It. The djvldends of the month aggregated aggre-gated $209,000, of which the Daly "West paid $117,000, the Silver King $100,000, the Grand Central 525,000, the Annie Laurjc $12,500, the Sacramento $5000, the -Century $.'50 00, the South Swansea $3000, the Salvntor $2500. the Utah $1000.
