We note by the territorial papers that last month second dividend Of $70,0e0 was declared, making $140,000 this year. The mine Is under the able superintendence of NIT. Ben Williams, and reduction works are managed by his brother Lewis. The Copper Queen properties are next in extent to tie famous Calumet and Hecla of Lake Superior.
