FROM A GREAT PRESIDENT
Tell the miners of the west that I
shall promote their interests to the
utmost of my ability, because their
prosperity is the prosperity of the
nation; and we shall prove in a
very few years that we are indeed
the treasury of the world.—Abra
ham Lincoln.

year, as compared with $8„219,451 j

increase of $2,728,050 or more than j
133 percent. The earnings for the ;

'resented by three-for-one split-up,;
declared last January. The earn- j

; first half this year reflects the un- j
j usual high price prevailing for cop- j
per during the period, this will be
|offset by increased business during’;
! the current half, and indications |
j are that the net for the full year j
J will be equal to at least $10 a share
l.'y*-' ftock. The final six months j
normally run well ahead of the first
)i, , _ oaxes and earnings. The fig
ures for the year will compare with j
$8.24 a share for 1928, and $6.55 a j
share in 1927, adjusted to allow for
the three-for-one split-up.
Surplus for the period ended
June 30, was $5,537,621 compared
with $4,029,531 a year ago. Cash on
hand, June 30, totaled $26,608,
743, including time loans and Unit
ed States government securities, a
decrease of $553,742 from December
31, 1928. Total current and miscel

understood to be its largest source
of revenue. It is the general opinion
among exports that this metal has
been firmly stabilized around the
level of 18 cents per pound and that
little change from that figure will
; be witnessed for many months.
This price compares with arounc I

Michael Tasson harvested scarcely
an apple from this year’s fine crop.
Black bears, protected by law since
