Volume XX Pays Big Dividend O - Regular distribution of 10 cents per share, or shore than $88,000, will be sent out to shareholders on Nov. 1st. At a recent meeting of the direct of the Chief Consolidated Mining company a dividend of ten centa per share was declared on the outstanding capital stock of the corporation, payable on November 1st to stockholden of record October ISth. The amount of the disbursement is $88,421.20 and will bring the grand total of dividends paid by this company up to $1,871,817.87. In view of the fact that the mining Industry of this state has been passing through a most trying period it is gratifying to note that some of the operators are making a little profit, and the Chief Consolidated company la one of the very few properties which have maintained their regular, dividends, having made four disbursements during the I present year. Besides maintaining the regular dividends the Chif has spent an Immense sum in improvements and development work. Sinking the No. 2 shaft has been carried along without interruption, the Plutus hah received a great amount of attention, there have been extensive experiments in their milling plant, to say nothing of the big development program which has been carried out in the main holdings of the mine, and atlll the Chief has been able to maintain its regular dividends. ton G.

ENCAMPMENT Promising Conditions Prevail At Eureka Lily - On Monday afternoon of this week fire broke out in the building on lower Main street which is occupied by Mrs. Belle McCoy and which is owned by Mrs. Vandersluys, and had it not been for the prompt action of the local fire department there would undoubtedly have been a conflagration, as there is a whole row of buildings adjoining that would have been wiped out. There was a good stiff b reels blowing at the time. There was very little loss to the building by fire, most of the damage being done by the water which was used in extinguishing the flames, and a good portion of the furniture and fixtures were removed from the building before the arrival of the firemen. The fire was first thought to have been started by defective wiring as the smoke seemed to come from the rear end of the building, but after all the siSbke had been cleared away it was found that the real cause of the fire was through the operation of a still which was located in the cellar. There was some whiskey found and several gallons of mash. According to Mrs. McCoy a man by the name of Len Barney had been renting the cellar for some time past and although the city officers searched the town for Barney, Immediately after the discovery, they were unable to locate him. He was seen on the street just a few minutes before the alarm was sent in, but evidently sensing the probability of being caught he hurriedly left town. The Harris Appeal Case Will Be Heard In November Present expectations are that the Urgent Need For Revival case of the state against Eugene Of The Mining Industry Harris, the young rancher of the Trout Creek country, convicted of the slaying of J H. Cone, a neighbor, in July, 1919, 'will be heard on appeal by the supreme court some time in November. Harris' mother, Mrs. Alce Harris, and his brother, Harris, were accused of the same crime, but were acquitted. The case was not set at the regular setting of cases ' for the October term, because the attorneys considered it of sufficient importance to merit an entire days hearing on appeal; and also because of the fact that one of the attorneys, E.
