work. When Mrs. Hemphill was
seen, it turned out that she had
heard nothing of the kind. Voices
were heard under her window half
an hour before the first shot was
fired and there was indistinct talk
about shooting somebody, and
something about family, but il
was all indefinite, the voices being
unrecognizable.

A. G. Hillen, travelling repre-
sentative of the Mining World,
has this to say regarding our
camp: THE Elk City >district
undoubtedly has good properties,
which will be demonstrated in
the near future" This will be
news to the camp, inasmuch that
we were under the impression
that some of our properties had
already demonstrated their
worth. Mr.. Hillen's silence as
regards the American Eagle,
which has produced a hundred
thousand dollars so far, argues
his ignorance of its existence;
then he takes the Hogan proper
ties, stamp mill and all, and
transfers them from Elk City to
Robbins district. He desiring to
be impartial, no doubt, does the
same with the Union group, a
Dixie property. Mr.. Hillen's re-
port was written at Lewiston,
however, which is one hundred
and thirty or forty miles from
Elk City district, which fact may
account for it's inaccuracies.

Mining Dividends of 1908.
Is mining profitable?

-
) Is mining profitable?
Perhaps the best answer to the
foregoing question is a reference
to the record of the dividend-pay-
ing companies for the year just
closed. Nor does this tell the tale
in full. The. dividend record of
the public companies shows SIM
ply what these companies have
accomplished. To the total must
be added the profits Of close cor
p~orations and Individual opera
tors, which is estimated at from
one-fourth to one-third of the a.
mount reported by the public
companies.
In the current issue of the En-
cheering and Mining Journal,
Charles c. Schnatterbeck has an
interesting statistical article on
this subject. One hundred and
sixty-one public companies oper-
ating mines and metalurgical
works in America paid in divi-
dends during 1903 the sum of
$139, 40, 971. Out Of this amount
$107, ITO, 971, or SIS, POI, O29 less
than IN 1902, was paid by sixty
five industrial companies. The
metal mining companies in the
dividend list numbered ninety-six
and distributed $31, $40, 900,
which is So, 818, 900 more than
was reported in 1902 The copper
companies lead, seventeen of
them paying SIS, 989, 900. In the
silver, lead and gold list there
are represented seventy-two
dread winners" with a total
disbursement of $14, TIP, GOO. A
significant statement is made in
connection with the copper divi-
dends by the authority in quest
ion, who says: 1.-The Calumet>&
Hecla, of Michigan, has declared
dividends of lao per cent on it's
par value of $25, and since it's in
corporation in 1871 has returned
its So, 500, 900 capitalization more
than thirty-three times" The
better showing of the gold, silver
and lead companies is partly ex-
planned by the extra payments
of the Alaska Treadwell, Alaska
Mexican, Daily-West, Silver King
and Camp Bird.
Other Western Hemisphere
dividend records for the year are:
twenty-seven Mexican companies
So, 585, 400 gold, four Canadian
companies, S815, 900, and four
Central and South American
companies, $3.50, 900.
Our dividend record would, it
is agreed, have been much great
err but for the labor difficulties
experienced. The authority quo
ted says also that a change imthe
dividend policy of several import
ant combinations affected the re-
suit. But the showing as it is is
a magnificent one and one of
which we may we'll be proud.

The News is taken severely to
task by the Grangeville Free
Press for criticizing the county
commissioners for using the
county funds to build a trail to
points where there was already
a good wagon road. This charge
the Free Press denies in toto,
but is charitable enough to say it
believes the MINING News was
misled by reports from irrespon-
sible sources. Well, since the
Free Press takes that attitude, it
would be only fair for the NEWS
to meet them half way and adj
nit that its source of informa-
ton is probably unreliable, we
are willing the public should
judge. Our authority is the
Grangeville papers. We quote
from memory: John Higgins
was authorized by the commits
sioners to purchase supplies for,
and to perform work, on one Of
the three road districts recently
created on Salmon river above
Lucille" Again, tom John
son, who was appointed by the
commissioners to look after the
work on the upper end of the
trail to the mouth of the south
fork, came into town: Tom says
the trail is an all the year route
to Thunder mountain" ETC..
Now the News submits that
straws still indicates the direc-
ton of the wind and it is willing
to submit the correctness of its
deductions to any impartial jury
of taxpayers in the entire coun-
ty. The News appreciates the
support it receives from the citi-
zens of Grangeville and is en-
deavoring in its humble way to
requit them by seeing to it that
their money as taxpayers is not
squandered foolishly. This course
will be continued by the News
and, besides, the circulation of
this paper is not confined to
Grangeville by a good safe ma
jority, and while on the subject
of circulation the MINING News
begs leave to state for the bene-
fit of the Free Press that its sub
scription list and influence will
take care of therc selves and that
both of them are hourishing like

OPPOSE FOREST RESERVE.

"CitizensV of the upper Salmon river
are justly and vigorously opposing the
formation of another forest reserve to
include portions of Idaho and Washing
ton counties. Hon. j. o. Levander,
who has just been over the proposed
territory, writes as follows:
81 have just returned from Meadows,
where | have been looking after land
matters. When there l was shown the
lines of the proposed new forest re-
serve. In township "a, / east where I
reside, It includes the west half, Sec
tions /, 9, 16, 81, %, % and SO, all void
of timber, and contains practically all
the grazing and farming land there is
in the whole township. Should the re-
serve be established on these lines it
would be a disastrous blow to the Sal
mon river country as it would effective
ly block any farther progress as to the
settlement of this township. The peo-
pie here are a unit against it and will
send a remonstrance. My object in
writing you this letter is to ask you
and all the rest of the good people of
Grangeville to assist us in getting the
lines changed to exclude the above sec
tions. There would be no objections to
some Of the sections in the west side of
the township being put in the forest
reserve as they are all in the high
mountain range"
The only fault we find with
the above is it does not go far
enough. "There would be no
objections" says Mr.. Levander,
ito some of the sections on the
west side of the township being
put in the forest reserve, as they
are all in the high mountain
range" The high mountain
ranges are, generally speaking,
natures store houses for the
precious metals, the development
of which creates a market for
products of the ranch and with
out this home market, under
present transportation conditions
the ranch as a business PROPOSE
ton loses much of it's attractive
ness.
1t is the experience of the
mining industry in the Elk City
and adjoining districts that forest
reserves hampers mining to an
almost p%rohibitive degree. This
forest reserve lunacy would, in
time, die anyway, like the cele-
brated "black tulip" craze which
overran Holland a century or
two ago like a plague, diverting
millions of money from the ra-
tional channels of commerce, the
arts and sciences, merely to pro-
duce an abnormal specimen of a
certain species of flora, which,
when accomplished, served no
good purpose except as a monu-
ment marking the temporary
alteration of an otherwise intel
ligent people. Unfortunately,
we of the mining camps and the
west generally, cannot await the
somewhat deliberate movements
of nature, we must take meas

Mining and Paternalisna.

A few days ago the Herald
Democrat referred briefly to the
gradual growth of what some
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-03-05

writer's call paternalism of gov
eminent. Wherever a country
becomes rich and powerful it IS
inevitable that it. should engage
in many enterprises which are
by no means part of a function
of government, which is, obvi-
ously, to govern, says Leadville
(Colo.) Herald Democrat. The
function of a government, In its
simplest form, is.to provide pro-
lection. from foreign invasion, to
preserve the peace and to admin
lister Justice. But with the growth
of the country, the accumulation
of a surplus in the treasury, the
people, who are the real govern
ing power, see the advantage of
having things done under gov
eminent supervision and at gov
eminent expense which could
not be done by private capital.
They result in general good.
We have already referred to
certain work which has been
done by the government, and
certain other work already under
way, such as irrigation enterpris-
es. So far as the mining industry
is concerned, it has not been the
recipient of much state aid, ex-
cepting so far as the geological
survey has helped to better I'M
derstanding of formations. Pro-
badly no. more could be asked
without crossing the line where
paternalism would trench on pri-
vate enterprise. The danger al
ways is in having the govern
ment do what private individuals
can do, thus destroying the spirit
of self-reliance. That, we are
taught, is the danger Of social
ism.
Those who favored a depart
ment Of mining encountered this
very objection. Still there is a
difference between the actual
participation of government in
the management Of an industry,
such as socialism contemplates,
and the attitude of the govern
ment toward such an industry as
agriculture, for instance. The
government position is advisory
altogether. 1t establishes expert
mental stations, its experts study
the effects of soil, climate, fertil-
izatiOn, etc., on various crops.
1t devotes attention to the pests
and diseases Of vegetables and
animals, and seeks means to de-
stroy them. There are a thou
sand and one topics that occupy
the attention Of the department.
1t publishes results, and the agri-
cultural interests can utilize this
knowledge or let it alone. The
progressive man will take advan-
tage of the governments labors.
A department Of mining, with
out being paternalistic, might en-
gage in similar work for the ben
eft Of the miner. For instance,
take the subject of low grade
ores. The government might car
ny on extensive experiments de-
signed to ascertain the best
methods Of treatment. It might
widen the scope of the geological
survey by carrying the work into
unknown districts instead of
waiting until a mining district is
opened before sending it's experts
into the field. 1t might exercise
control over the coal fields. so
