llshes some interesting facts regarding
dividends paid by mining companies tliu
tlrst six mouths of this year. Of course,
no Oregon mine in mentioned ; they nev
er are. A list of mines that havu paid
over $100,000 during that time is given.
Tee re are at least a half dozen such in

paid that much a mouth, but this statu
does not receive thu henellt of such ad
vertising. Mining says:

or during thu sumo orlod thu copor

Be Over Three Miles Lone
Handle 200 Tons a Day.
Almost every day iuiiortaiit move
ments aru taking place looking to thu
advancement 'of the famous Seven Dev
ils district. Asidu from thu welcome
news that thu P. I. & N. railroad will
immediately la-gin building its line to
this camp, nothing has created a greater
interest than thu fact that thu Hoston &
Seven Devils Copper company will be
gin constructing tliu big teriul tramway
from their famous Peacock projierties to
the railway in l.andore. The railway
terminus for thu lino will bo immedi
ately north of Hotel l.andore, near thu
bins just completed at thu Do corah
mine. Thu location is a splendid onu as
a very great saving will bomadu in thu
construction of thu big bins.
Mr. William Dusedau, of Denver, rsp
resentiug tliu well-known Dusedau Wire
KoHiway and other systems of teriul
trausMirtutiou, has lieon here several
days looking over thu ground and mak
ing full investigations. His work was
very thorough and his rosrts will bo
submitted to his companies, the outcome
of which aru anxiously watched.
Tho lino will Iks about three- and a
half miles in length and will have three
stations, ono at each end mid tho third
somewhere near thu center. To com
plete this very important project it will
reipiiro from 50 to 75 men, about 400,
000 feet of lumber, besides tho immense
amount of other material needed. A
very great saving will be niudo in its
construction, from thu fact that tho lum
ber, etc., can be manufactured on thu
ground. It is uxccted to have the
lino in operation within ninety duys.
Thu cu.Micity ut first will be 200 tons per
day, but will be increased as require
ments demand.
Thu completion of this tramway will
mean u tremendous saving to thu Hoston
& Seven Devils company, as the ore can
then bo transported from thu mines to
railway at 1-nndoro at thu estimated cost
of 13 wilts er ton. Seven Devils Standard.
