HERCULES DIVIDENDS

Yesterday was the usual date
for the Hercules company to pay
its monthly dividend. What
that dividend was we no more
know than we knew what had
been paid any month during the
past year. Next April the
Hercules management must file
a sworn statement OF net profits
with the county assessor. Till
then nobody but the owners of
the mine will know the facts,
unless they choose to take the
public into their confidence.
Meanwhile we think it is safe
guess that the mine paid at least
$4,000 this month. This should
bring the total of dividends for
the year to about 81 100000
and the grand total to date to
over So, 10000 The Hercules
is the highest grade mine in the
district and therefore less affected
by the fall in prices than others.

LESSONS OF THE CRISIS
Mining and Scientific Press)

mining and Scientific Press)
Now that the storm has over
whelmed some of the unseaworthy
craft launched during times of ex-
element, there is every inducement
to moralize. The same cycle of
events is recorded at recurrent in
rtervals and mankind profits as
little by the mistakes of the past as
the son learns from the teaching of
his father. Each gets his own
experience, and it is lamentably
costly process. If experience were
cumulative we would be as demi-
gods, for ours would be the inher-
tied and transmitted knowledge of
all the generations precedent. But
it is not 50. Each burns his own
fingers to find out that
fire is hot; each loses his own
money in speculation to find out
that greed is punishable. Lucky,
and truly sane, is the man who
permits one lesson to suffice.
Is it worth while to castigate the
wrong doing of a boom that is
past? Yes, if such treatment
teaches anything and serves to
guide us in the future. For booms
will come again, as surely as indus
trial depression comes now. Some
of the happenings of the past two
years have been discussed in these
columns. Among them we spoke
regretfully of the widening of fin
ancial responsibility on the part of
men like Messrs. Cole and Ryan,
insisting that even unusual execu-
tive ability becomes impotent if
spread over too many enterprises,
the reputation Of such men becom-
ing simply lure for the unwary.
The Greene -Cananea episode is to
the point. This is sad fasco, the
result of self confidence and over
speculation. F. Augustus Heinze
has been broken, and the bank
too-a gamblers fate. He took the
Senator Stewart mine in the Occur
dAlenes when it had $4,000
profit in ore reserves and used his
reputation to sell shares at New
York at an initial valuation OF
81, 500, 900. Much IN the same
way Charles M. Schwab used his
notoriety to sell shares in the Mont.
gomery Shoshone and other mines
in Nevada of much less worth al
enormous capitalizations. Patsy
Clark Of Spokane had his Furnac,

HECLEs USUAL DIVIDEND

The Hecla company yesterday
paid its usual monthly dividend
of $4,000, bringing the total
for the year to $3.50, 900 and the
grand total to date to 81 AGO, 600.
Though one of the younger divi-
dend payers no mine in the
camp is more to be depended on
in respect to dividends than the
Hecla. Its management has
been ultra conservative and as a
consequence temporary depres-
sion in the metal market affects
it less than any other company
operating in the district and
probably in the United States.
With the exception of a few men
engaged in unproductive devel-
opment who have been laid off
its working force is as large as
ever and its shipments of ore,
both crude and concentrating,
have not been cut down a par
ticle.

DEVELOPING MORNING LEDGE
Star Company Finds Flow of Water in
Star Vein too Heavy

Owing to the excessive flow OF
water in the Star ledge, the Star
company has temporarily suspended
work on that vein after drifting 1926
feet. on it, the last 275 showing
from three and half to four feet
of high grade concentrating galena
ore. The ledge shows an average
width of II fee. and is filled with
good milling stuff. The workings
are at depth of something over
700 feet and when they have
drained off sufficiently drifting will
be resumed.
Meanwhile drifts have been
started both ways on the Morning
vein which was cut by the main
tunnel 440 feet south of the Star
Ledge and which then showed Is
inches ofgood galena. The drift
to the east will reach the Morning
ground in about 400 feet while that
to the west has 4 800 feet of Star
ground to explore.

MINING NOTES

The Gold Crag company has re-
sumed drifting and will drive
another 100 feet before prosecuting
again.
The tunnel on the Phedora is now
reported to be in over 225 feet and
to show 10 inches of ore in the
face that will average 20 per cent
in lead.
The crosscut tunnel on the PAN
dora, adjoining the Snow Snow on
the east, is now in 42O feet. AT
least one shift will be kept at work
in it all winter.
The Copper Chief company which
owns group of claims between the
Bullion and Wonderful has started
development work. The matter of
driving a long crosscut tunnel is
now under consideration.
A body of good ore is reported to
have been struck in the lower tun-
mel of the Handspike property on
the Little North Fork river. The
miners were flooded out and work
has been suspended till the spring.
The Hector company has taken
an option on the Ontario
claim and half of Lucky Boy lode
both of which adjoin their group.
A. F. Georges contract has been
enlarged from 200 to 500 feet OF
of tunnel.
The upraise from the lower tun-
mel on the Nine Mile mine is now
in quartz Of a character that indi.
Gates the proximity of ore. The
upper tunnels and shaft show a LOT
Of galena ore of good concentrating
grade.
The Raven company of Wardnel
has taken over the Midnight group
of claims in Summit district neal
Murray. A bunkhouse will bt
built at once and development
work prosecuted throughout th'
winter.
A cave-in of the tunnel on thu
Arctic, which adjoins the Vienna
International on the east, nearly
caused the death of one Of the
miners last week. The ground ha,
since been caught up and drifting
resumed.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-11-21

ESQ far as we know the shut
down was due primarily to an in
junction obtained by the owners OF
the Silver King mine on whose
ground the Stewart mill stands.
Since then Mr.. Heinze's financial
difficulties have prevented his CIV
ing attention to the matter. Dur
ing the past week the mine has
been inspected by the general man
ayers of both the Bunker Hill and
Federal companies, but whether
this means that Mr.. Heinze is try
ing to dispose of the whole or the
control of the property is not
known. An early resumption OF
work by Mr.. Heinze or somebody
else is expected. Local opinion
places the value of the mine at
81 800, ,O00.-Ed.

Prospects Are Bright

A business man who was up at
Gem and Black Bear last week
says that the people Of these com
munities are watching the develop
ment Of the Black Bear Fraction
company with the most intense
interest as they believe their future
prosperity depends on the success
Of that mine. If that is the case
their prospects are distinctly bright
as the Black Bear Fraction com
pany's crosscut tunnel will cut its
ledge under a big body Of shipping
ore exposed on the surface and
developed to a depth of $50 feet OF
more by tunnel and winze. Its
chance of making a really big strike
is therefore excellent.

RESUME WORK ON BEN HUR
Saltese Property Has Rich Ore in
Grass Roots

Richard Daxon, one of the origi-
nal owners of the Ben Hur mine
and still one of the largest share
holders in that company, made a
trip of inspection to the property
last week for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the resumption of work
The group consists of five claims
and millsite near Saltese, Mont.
lying between the Tarbox and Last
Chance mines and separated from
the Bryan group, now being devel-
oped by the Days, only by the latter
property Like its neighbors it has
very strong and handsome out
crop and a general sample which
Mr.. Daxon took from the surface
gave values of nearly $50 a ton,
principally in silver and copper,
the characteristic ore being gray
copper.
Mr.. Daxon's plan is to drive a
700-foot crosscut tunnel to tap the
vein near the Last Chance ore shoot
from which $500, 900 worth of high
grade ore was shipped several years
ago. Another crosscut will be run
near the east end of the group to
develop the ore bodies exposed in
the upper workings on the Bell
claim. The present workings con-
sist of numerous short tunnels and
open cuts and one shaft. Every
one of these openings shows pay
able ore and in the shaft there are
four feet of it.
Associated with Mr.. Daxon in
the management of the property
are: George r. Trask, the well
known mining engineer; f. f.
Johnson, president of the First
National bank; John P. Sheehy,
deputy recorder for Shoshone
county; and Frank Bell, one of the
original locators.

Wide Ledge in Arlington

The Arlington company has
opened up a 4O-foot ledge carrying
some excellent galena ore in its
lowest crosscut tunnel about 600 feet
in from the portal. No drifting
has yet been done on the ore body.
The mine lies northeast of Burke
on the Glidden road. Cyrus w.
GOssert is manager.

NINE MILE DISTRICT
Fewer Properties Idle There Than in
Any Other Section

Fewer properties in the Nine
Mile district have suspended devel-
opment than in any other section
of the camp and though the Pitts
burg company has shut down its
concentrator temporarily the Sue
cess and Tamarack continue to pro-
duce and the Rex has once more
joined the list of shippers.
Some of the properties besides the
shippers in which important devel-
opment operations are now in
progress are; The Pittsburg en-
ploying about 80 men, the Custer,
Interstate, Callahan, Nine Mile,
West Nine Mile and Shoshone.

REX MINE A winner
New Ore Shoot Shows $25O,OOO in
Sirht Already

The Rex mine looks like a sever
times winner. 1t has opened up 6
new shoot of clean shipping galena
in an upraise from the No. : tun-
mel. The solid ore is nearly six
feet wide and it has been developed
to heighth of 40 feet or more in
the upraise and for about the same
length in drift. The ore body is
apparently continuation of the
surface shoot which produced nearly
81 100000 in 1887. That it was
not sooner found in the lower
workings is a wonder as drifting,
raising and prosecuting was done
as close as 80 feet to it.
Average samples of the new ore
shoot run from 62 to 81 per cent IN
lead and from 10 to so ounces in
silver. The body already blocked
out on two sides is estimated to
contain at least $780, 600 as the
distance between the No. | and
No. 2 tunnels is 1875 feet and there
can be little doubt that the shoot
extends to the level above.
Meanwhile the showing in the
west drift continues to improve and
the winze from the No. 2 tunnel is
being sunk to the 200-foot level as
rapidly as possible to develop the
main ore body.
The concentrator, which has a
capacity of $50 tons a day, will
start early next week, its operation
having been delayed by the non
arrival of some necessary betting.
The mine employs between 80 and
GO men.

THE LOCAL MARKET
Snow Storm Active----Slumps
But Receivers

Snow Storm, which closed the
previous week at 81. 40 bid, dropped
to around $1.15 and rallied to 81 .25
bid at the close of the week. There
was considerable trading also in
Missoula, Rex, Idora, Copper King
and Alameda. The sales Of
Missoula were around 6 cents;
those of Idora around 4; Copper
King at 3t4 and 312; and Alameda
at 44.
The brokers report the tone Of
the market as distinctly better and
inquiries more numerous than they
have been for weeks. For these
reasons they consider the outlook
much brighter and now expect
considerable activity before the
Christmas holidays.
The prices of listed stocks showed
only trifing changes. Ajax was
sitter. So was Humming Bird.
Hypotheek holders asked higher
prices. Idora strengthened con-
siderably. Lucky Calumet and
Rex were both stronger and higher.

are now being driven from near
the>face of each drift. The drift to

The crosscuts have revealed no
change yet. The ledge is rs feet

THE PRICE OF COPPER
During the Past ID Years it Has
Averaged 1888

The following table shows the
fluctuations in the price of copper
for the past IA years and indicates
how trifling a basis there is for the
present panic. Data shows that
during the years intervening be-
tween 1S9O-and 1900, while F. A.
Heinze and w. A. Clark were
making fortunes from the produc-
tion of comparatively low grade
copper mines at Butte and the VIC
unity, copper was selling at a price
even lower than today's quotations,
the lowest price being being 8 cents

An old friend of F. August
Heinze's was here from Butte the

as to Mr.. Heinze's financial stand

broke, but he is somewhat in the
predicament of the rooster that had
always lorded it over the barnyard
until he went up against a bunch OF
game cocks; his tail feathers are
all gone, he looks like hi and his
spurs are bunged up so he can
hurt nobody"
