Twenty Drill Compressor and Large

Burke. Idaho, August 9.-The Hecla
mine, near here, on Canyon creek, in
the Occur d'Alenes. which recently paid
it's first dividend OF $40, 200, has under
wav extensive improvements The
company is putting in plant for its
eventual operation at 1880 feet depth.
This plant would include two 400-horse
power boilers a compressor plant with
a capacity of 20 drills and hoist that
could operate the mine to the 2500-foot
level The installation of these i'm
provements has been under way for
some time. The large buildings for
the reception of the plant are practical
y completed the boilers and compressor
are on the ground and the work OF put
ting them in place is going on rapidly.
1t is expected that the entire new
plant will be in operation by Septem-
bel J.. In the meantime the work of
developing the mine Is going forward
rapidly and about 900 tons of concen-
trates a month are being shipped. The
main shaft in which the big hoist will
be operated is to be sunk to the full
$500 feet, though operations will not
be confined to this work. The ore bod
les will be opened and mined at the
successive levels as depth is attained.

Wallace, Idaho, August 9.-The Head

though ore has been found near the sur
face in two or three different places.
1t has been held for years by some pros
pectors who were not willing to part
with it at any price which mining men
were willing to pay.

Coughs of an Engine.

The cough, or puff, of a railway en-
gine is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the cough can, of course,
be heard following each other quite dis
tinctIy, but when speed is put on the
puffs come out one after the other
much more rapidly, and when eighteen
coughs second are produced they can
aot be separately distinguished by the
ear. A locomotive running at the rate
of nearly serenity miles an hour gives
out twenty puffs of steam every sec
ond-that is, ten for each of it's two
cylinders.

ings to put stock companies into their
houses, it was FREELY predicted that
within three years there would not be
three places in this country devoted to
the stock company idea. It is hardly
necessary to say that this prophecy
has not been fulfilled. On the con-
trary, there are now half dozen stock
companies where three years ago there
was but one, and, what is equally re-
markable, nearly all of them appear
to be making money. In fact, there
are scores of cities in which stock
companies are now successfully oper-
ating, and these are towns which have
for a number of years been regarded
as poor three night stands, for there
seems to be a feeling on the part OF
theater goers in many places that it
is foolish to give $1.50 for seat at an
ordinary performance when for so
cents better performance and fre-
quently better chair at a more COM
Portable theater may be had.
1t is not improbable that certain
prominent manager with ample capital
at his back will shortly take dip into
the stock company business. If he
should do so. 1t is not unlikely that
he will start with four theaters in as
many cities. The plan would be to
produce four new plays, and then move
the companies from one city to the 9Th
er in rotation, so that every organiza-
ton would return to its own town in
four weeks. when a new play would
again be produced. The object of this
arrangement would be to enable the
performers to have sufficient rehearsals
for the adequate presentment of new
plays. This would practically do away
with the looseness and what may
slangily be called the ''sloppiness" of
the average performance given by a
stock company, which not only has to
play twice a day, but also is Obliged
to rehearse the drama for theco ming
week. If the menager to whom refer
should conclude to go into this, you
may confidently look for rafting of
dry bones among the managers who
have been going along complacently
without any thought of opposition and
with the consciousness that the Satur-
day night balancing of the books would
practically be certain to show bal
ance on the right side of the ledger.
