A resolution wits passed reoommend
ine that the incoming president se
lect some western man as Secretary
of the Interior, and points out the
fact that moat of the important
business which will come under that
department relates to the west and
therefore should he handled by a
*<>?tern man.
Th e ovngrsss strongly recom
mends that the government either
onnatrtict or aid in the construction
><f two railroads in Alaska instead
'?>( one as has been generally pro
posed It deems the new territory
o* sufficient importance to Justify
the construction of two trunk lines,

that might be used in railroad con
struction.

TKN" MONTHS' OIVIHKND8
OK MINKS AM) WOKKS
An advance shoot of the Mining I
and Kngineering World gives the!
following summary of mining for
the past ten months:
During the ten months ended with
September, 141 American mlnej and
metallurgical works enriched share
holders to the extent of $81,812,528.
This compares with the disburse
ment of $71,711,748 by 142 com
panies in 1911 and with $64,304,
888 by 128 companies in 1910. Since
incorporation the 141 companies,
mentioned above, have paid dlvl
dciids totaling $789,848,550, which
ariount is nearly $70,000,000 in ex
cess of issued capital. When it it
taken Into consideration that a great
many of these properties have been
in operatii.i but a few years this
achievement Is all the more remark
able
It should be borne in mind that,
wl.ile the above performances are
fairly representative of what Ameri
can mines are doing, there are hun
dreds of other companies privately
owned and otherwise, which do not
give out any statement of their op
erations, but are known to have dis
tributed millions In dividends to
shareholders Then, too, there are
the individual operators and pros
pectors, who, each year, add con
siderably to the wealth of the coun
try
Then, too, there are nine secur
ities-holding corporations, whose
profits are derived from their hold
ings In operating companies who
disbursed dividends during the y?*r
amounting to $15,571,530. Since in
corporation their disbursements
amount to $149,790,882. This com
pares with $11,928,951 paid by
eight corporations in the same per
iod in 1911.
Of the 141 companies paying divl
dmds In 1!>12, 1U( are classed as
gold silver-lead-tlnc producer* and
their disbursements for the year
were $31,&71,(>30, with a total to
their credit since incorporation of
$ -79.4K9.5.12, which amount ex
ceeds their combined Issue capital
of $&, 562,11 7.
f That copper has come into its
own is evidenced by the dividend
disbursements made so far In 19 It.
Twenty-eight of the** are credited
with disbursements for the year
totaling $3 *,478,208, and since is
corporation $371,997,746. This
amount Is $140,631,(63 In excess
of their combined outstanding capi
tal Of the 28 companies participat
ing, 26 opiTate properties In the
United Stages with dividends paid
totaling $3 1,940,696. That dividend
paying is a continuous performance
by these companies Is shown by the
fact that tliey have divided among
.shareholders since Incorporation no
less than 5-361,973.302, which Is
$1S(,Mt,Ut in excess of their com
bined issu -1 capital.
