THE HOLLAND COMEDY COMPANY.

This excellent company is billed to ap.

Tuesday evenings next, for the benefit Of
Occident Lodge, knights Of Pythias, OF
Dillon. The company is large one and
meets with great demonstrations Of delight
wherever it appears. The Butte Mine,

THE HECLA COMPANY.

The third year Of the present manage.
ment Of the Hecla Consolidated Mining
Company lat Glendale, will show up in good
shape-the gross output reaching nearly
one million dollars. BY very strict and
close economy handsome profit has been
paid to the stockholders. The great draw.
back Of Lion Mountain ore, and which has
been the trouble for three years, is that on.
~ second-cla ore is developed, containing
SO much silica and zinc that the profit must
be small. 1t is very plain to any intelli.
gent mining man that ore containing forty.
two per cent Of silica and only forty seven
ounces Of silver will not swell the profits
or dividends. Nothing but the very best
management possible could save the com.
pany from loss.
The annual meeting Of the Hecia Com.
pany takes place u, indianapolis, Ind, in
February, when seven directors will be elrc.
ted. There will be no election of General
Manager, as Mr.. knippenberg was elected
last year tor three years, refusing at tina,
time five years appointment. During
the absence Of General Manager Knippen.
berg, in the East, the operations of the COM
pany will be conducted by wire under his
direction.

To the Editor of the Dillon TRIBUNE:

To the Editor of the Dillon TRIBUNE:
Christmas is not over yet with good
many. The boys are having plenty of fun
during the holidays. On Christmas Eve
Mr.. Chas. Dishnow, the proprietor of the
hotel and E. ]. Williams gave grand ball
and supper. The miners came down from
the hill in miners uniforms, but at o'clock
they appeared on the streets parading in
boiled shirts and store clothes. Ladies
from the mines were brought.down to the
foot of the hill on horses, and taken in
sleighs to the ballroom. People were in
attendance from the Texas and Viola dis.
tricts, and from the Lemhi Valley. The
hall was crowded with fair ladies and brave
men, conspicuous among the latter were
many bald'headed and gray. bearded bach.
elors, whose festive freaks in tripping the
light fantastic toe were vigorous and handy,
If not truly graceful. 1t was grand,
mountain dance, and everyone had a good
time. The supper, spread by the hostess of
the hotel, was excellent-the tables being
flied with the substantials and delicacies.
Christmas closed at Spring Mountain
with many ratfles for chickens, pistols, etc,

heavy sleeper at the rear and the heavier
locomotive in front, the baggage, mail and

gone over the grade. AS soon as the train
stopped the snow piled up behind it, SO that
