Irish Dividends.

The silver mines of Nevada have not been all profit to their shareholders, nor made many of them, comparatively speaking, millionaires. Outside of Consolidated Virginia and California the C< mstock mines represent an actual loss of ?36,(X'0.000 in assessments in twentyfive years. Sierra Nevada is the banner stock for assessments, having depleted the cash assets of its stockholders by 86,250,000, and returned dividends in scarcely a sixth of that sum, Of other stocks Union has drawn 82,310,000 in assessments and never paid a dividend, while Justice has belied its name by taking 83,500,000 from its stockholders and not returning them a cent. — Portland Oregonian. ‘ It isn’t at all hard to be poor; it’s dev’lish easy.
