ONTARIO'S FAILURE TO PAT DIVIDEND IS DISAPPOINTING. Of the Ontario's failure to pass around the regular quarterly dividend, the Park City Record says: "The Ontario's On-tario's failure to announce a dividend has caused considerable disappointment among its shareholders, especially when it is known that the company holds a surplus In the treasury of some $300,000. They feel that a portion of this distributed dis-tributed among them would go far toward to-ward enhancing the value of the stock, and at the same time do them more good than lying Idle in the treasury. The regular quarterly dividend, they feel, of 30 cents a share, or $4500, now-past now-past due, would not make & big hole In $300,000 nor cripple the treasury, especially especi-ally as the last year has been a prosperous pros-perous one for the company. Some contend con-tend that this Immense reserve is held for the purpose of erecting large reduction reduc-tion works at an early date, while others oth-ers assert that it is nothing but indifference indif-ference on the part of the company as to how the lesser shareholders fare. Kicks are quite numerous among them, with all the appearance of justice on the side of the kickers." THE MAY DAY STRIKE. One of the best bodies of ore ever uncovered un-covered in the mine was opened up thirty thir-ty feet below the 100-foot level by Superintendent Su-perintendent Matthews this week in the May Day. It is a continuation of the west channel, and is a clean body of lead, the lowest sample showing the presence of 100 ounces silver to the ton. About ten mine cars of this class Is being be-ing broken every shift, and the stope bids fair to rival anything yet discovered discov-ered in the mine. Ore is being taken from three different points, and by the time the trails are in condition to haul, |
