DECLARE A. $4,000 DIVIDEND.
The War Eagle Stock That Cost Cents
q Share Draws 10 Cents.

Spokane, June 15.-The officers of the
War Eagle Mining Company yesterday
declared dividend of 10000, or 10
cents a share. Sixty per cent of the
dividend was paid to Spokane men. the
beneficiaries being Austin Corbin, Pat
sy Clark. e. ]. Roberts, b. c. Kings
bury, H. e. Herrick, w. j. C. Wakefield
]. A. Finch and A B. Campbell
This is the War Eagles second divi-
dend. The first was paid March l Of
this year, and was 6iH cents per share,
or total of $500. The first dividend
paid for the mine and all improve
ments and put the owners on velvet" ="
The second dividend is therefore clear
profit 1t represents three and half
months limited production. During
March, owing to bad roads. hardly any
ore was shipped, and since then the
mine has been restricted by bad roads
between Trail creek and the Columbia,
and the repeated breaking of the cable
at the crossing of the river. The owners
figure on paying quarterly dividends of
$4,000 from this time on,
This mine is remarkable in that it has
neither machinery nor expensive build
ings. 1t is operated by tunnels into the
anu ltS COllSlSlS
of rough board office, some ore bins,
and the tools needed to develop and
take out ore. 1t has no boarding house,
and the men eat and lodge where they
please. Compressed air for the drills
is had from the LIE Roi, but as the lat
ter mine now has use for all its air, the
War Eagle is arranging to put in 20
drill compressor of its own.
The War Eagle Company owns five
claims-the War Eagle, the Iron Mask,
the Virginia, the Butte Fraction and
the Poorman Fraction. On all of these
1t has ore, and 1t is developing them
slowly.
A popularity of the Trail creek ore
is the wide range of values. Ore taken
from one vein, and apparently the
same, may run $50. 800 or even $15(
when assayed. and again it may return
only trace" The only way to get a
correct average value is to run a drill
across the vein and assay the dust
taken from the drill hole. This uncer-
tainty misled many a prospector and
mining man in the early days of the
camp.

self ON Presidential Possibilities

Celeveland, Ohio, June 16.-Delegates
to the convention of the National Re

rive in the city, and it is expected there

Among those who arrived today was r.

teeman from Minnesota and delegate
at-large to the convention. Mr.. Evans
says he thinks the convention will be
the largest and most enthusiastic that
has yet been held and he scouts the
idea that there will be fight over free
coinage. Being asked what he thought
of the republican presidential question,
he said Minnesota has candidate in
the person of Senator Cushing X. Da-
Wis, and while he was not a leader in
the race Minnesota republicans hope
matters will so shape themselves before
next year as to make his nomination
possible.
In regard to the question whom he
considered the strongest candidate in
the race at present, Evans said: "Mc-
Kinley is by all odds the strongest can
didate. He has been in the race the
longest. His character and record are
such that he will stand the test, no mat
ter how long he has to remain in the
contest before the convention is held"

present deficit of $4s, 400, $50 is likely to
De reduced by cutting off the expendi-

year.
Notwithstanding this showing for the
years operations, there is no expecta-
ton from any sources of an extra ses-
sion or congress or bond issue before
the meeting of congress, in December.
Today the gold reserve amounts to
about $s5,OO0,0 900, with an available cash
balance of nearly S1S4, 1000, ,0O0 which is
regarded, as ample to meet all ordinary
demands. The spirit of confidence and
security which pervades the treasury
department at this time is largely due
TO the provision in the last bond con-
tract obligating the syndicate to pro-
tect the gold in the treasury from with
drawals for export. The ability of the
syndicate to carry out this provision
has been amply demonstrated during
the last several months. when the ratio
OF exchange has at times ruled far
above the export point. This obligation
can not be discharged until October
next. At the present time the syndi-
cate owes the government about $780,
900 on Its contract, and while the entire
issue of bonds has been taken in Lon
don deliveries will be made only as fast
as the gold is deposited.
