Among the securities whichare attract-
ing ,attention, these days none is regarded
more .highly by the careful investor than
the six per cent. first mortgage bonds of
The Spanish .River Pulp & Paper Mills,
Limited.
Exclusive of the value of the concession,
which gives the Company the right to cut
pulp wood on an area of 6,000 square
miles, the assets of the Company includ-
ing the Pulp and Paper Mills at Espa-
nola.` Ontario, are estimated at six times
the bond issue.
During its first year of operation, the
Company showed profits' of 5309.263.19 from
wood and pulp mill operations alone. The
bond interest and other charges were
S106,62.7.54, leaving net profits of $202,635.65
for the year.
'It is believed that the earnings with the
paper mill now ,,in . operation should be
well over . $400,000 for the ensuing year.
As tho Bonds are a first mortgage on all
the Company's property, it is plain to neo
why they are in such demand. At the
present price of 981-2 they yield 61.8 per
cent. per annum. Interest is payable the
lot of July and the 1st of January- Tho
bonds are in $500 denominations, and with
the high interest yield. combined with ab-
solute safety of principal, make an ideal
investment. •

ises to be shortly ono- of the richest men
In. the world. if bis .many railway and

rumored, too, that there aro high Im-
perial honors in store for him, that his
present knighthood will soon be supplant-
ed by more important titles, but to this
there can, of course, be no 'present eon-
ilrmation.
There is a story that Sir William se-
cured the palatial Benvenuto from its
former owner for a consideration of 1,000
shares of Toronto Street Railway stook,
According to report, this stock cost rho
President of the company. about 810 a
share. so that for the equivalent of $i0,-
000 he got a- property that is now worth
probably 8150,000 or $200,000. This is but
as example of the Mackenzie luck -or
foresight.
Many people suppose that Sir 'William
was the Duke of Connaught's host at
Benvenuto during the Royal visit. This.
is hardly correct. The residence was
simply turned over to His Royal Hieh-
ness, who brought his own servants, some
twenty in number, while Sir Wilhiam and
his family found quarters elsewhere.
