First Ledge Cut by Lower Tunnel

Over on Spring gulch, near Iron
Mountain. Mont, is the Glen Metals
company's property, which it is be-
lieved will be large producer and
possibly even dividend payer this
season. 1t Is controlled by the
Greenoughs and was last week in
spected by w. D. Greenough, Stan
ley A. Easton, the manager Of the
Bunker Hill company, and Joseph
Carson. the general superintendent
Of all the Greenoughs' mines.
Mr.. Greenough expresses absolute
confidence in the future of the prop
erty, basing his opinion on the splen-
did ore showing obtained in the
first ledge cut by the new lower
crosscut tunnel. Here they have
opened up four feet Of shipping ore
and from 10 to IL feet Of good mill
Ing stun. Two lodges are yet to be
cut by this tunnel. the main one be-
ing some 600 feet ahead. The depth

OUR SHARE IN PRODUCTION

Regarding the percentage Of the
states output Of metals contributed
by the Occur d'Atene district State
Mine Inspector Bell says in his an
nual report:
''Of the total metal output Of the
state during 1905, the Occur d Alenes
produced 50 per cent Of the lead, 81
per cent Of the silver, IS per cent Of
the copper, IS per cent Of the zinc
and 5 IL per cent Of the gold, and
all OF the anthony, and makes q
magnificent display, not only in
value, but in variety Of precious and
useful metals"

DIVIDENDS AND EARNINGS
Gratifying as is the total Of di,

Gratifying as is the total Of divi-
dends paid by mines in the Occur
d'Alenes, as shewn in detail in
another column, it must not be sup
posed for one moment that they
represent anything like the net earn
ings Of the properties in question.
As is pointed out in the
same article enormous sums have
been expended out Of profits
by most Of the producers, including
all Of the dividend distributors, in
deep development and equipment
and, in addition thereto, the divi-
dend payers have accumulated vast
reserve funds. just how large these
sums are we have been unable to
learn in some instances, but we do
know that the Federal company,
for example. added last year to its
reserve fund, after paying 81. O40.-
in dividends, approximately 81 ,000,-
COO. Upwards Of 100000 was
also spent in permanent improve
ments that are today valuable as
sets. The Hecla company increased
its reserve, after paying $3.50, 600 in
dividends during the year and pay
ing for much costly development
work, about 100000. The reserve
funds added by the Bunker Hill
and Hercules, after expending
enormous sums for new mills, ma
4chincry, tunnels, etc., probably
equalled, if they did not exceed the
sum, reserved by the Federal COM
pany.
Nor should it be forgotten that
several mines this year voluntarily
forewent dividends altogether or
materially reduced the amounts dis
tributed for the same good reason.
Both as regards the ratio Of net
earnings and dividends to produc-
ton, and more especially the ratio
Of dividends and net earnings to
capital invested, the Miner believes
the Occur d'Alene district to be far
ahead Of all others in the world |

the rate of over a foot a day. The

Secretaries and managers of min
ing companies are respectfully re-
quested to send us their legal no

LEGATION. The Miner, being devoted
exclusively to mining, cannot ex-
pect general advertising and must
therefore depend for its business
on miners, brokers and others di-
rectly connected with the industry
We ask our friends to bear this in
mind when they have any work to
do in our particular line. Unless
strongly supported by the mining
interests the Miner will be unable
to achieve as much for the mining
industry as it would like.
The Occur d'Alene district only
needs legitimate advertising to make
it the most prosperous mining camp
in the United States. The hest
way to advertise it is to get the facts
concerning it before the public. By
buying a few copies Of each issue Of
the Miner and mailing them to your
friends you will most easily accom-
plish your share of this most neces-
sary work.
The Day family was for long the
only powerful friend the Western
Federation Of Miners had in the
Occur d'Alenes. The federation
seems to be determined to work
that friendship for all it is worth.
Mail this copy to a friend when
you have read it. A one-cent wrap
per is all it will cost you. It may
lead to his making a very profitable
investment in Occur d'Alene stocks.

to be without this paper if you have
any interests in the Occur d Alcnes.

One Of the leading tenors In Moscow
was called upon to sing an opera In
which one note was much too high for
him, but he got man In the orchestra
to come in just at the right time and
supply the note. In exchange the
tenor was to take him to supper. The
plan answered well, the applause was
loud. but the tenor forgot all about the
supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front of the stage, put
his hand on his heart and opened his
mouth as wide as he could. His dis
comfture was great when the expect

SURPRISES IN WISCONSIN.
4. }. HOrIiek Defeats Democrats on
Republican Platform.

Milwaukee. April Election day in
Wisconsin brought many surprises.
Milwaukee did not elect a mayor this
year. but several OF the other large
cities OF the State held elections. The
most holly contested fights were those
at Racine and Kenosha. where munich
PAL ownership was a leading issue. At
Racine, a. j. HoTlick. a wealthy man.
who has never before been in politics,
entered the race on the platform of the
Business Mems administration, and was
elected by about 400 majority over Nj.
NJ. Secor, Democrat, "a former executive.
who had tried to get the office again.
The main contest was over the
municipal operation of the waterworks
plant, and the municipal ownership
men were the victOrs. At Kenosha
there was another similar fight The
municipal ownership candidate for the
Republican mayoralty nomination was
defeated in the primaries, but the Dem
ocrats made this an issue, and won by
a large vote
There. were some surprising Demo-
cratic gains in various cities, notably
Sheboygan. which gave the Demo-
C. attic candidate the largest majority
ever given in this Democratic strong
hold.

PARKER TELLS HIS STORY.
Declares Contributions from Trusts
Has Not Been Denied.

Albany april Judge Alton B. Parker
tonight gave OFT this statement regard
ing the pending Hartman Roosevelt
campaign controversy:
THAT $4,000 was turned over by the
Equitable, Mutual, and New York Life
Insurance companies to Mr.. Cortelyou s
committee has never been denied, Of
course. It was testified to under oath
before a body which could have sum
moned M. Bliss and Mr.. CortelyOu to
the witness stand if IL had been denied
Il is safe 10 deny BIr. Harriman's state
ment. because there is not a committee
before whom Mr.. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou
and others can be summoned and COM
PEELED 10 testify.
Congress has refused to make an in
vestigation of the corporate contribu-
tions of 1884, or TO pass law prohibiting
corporate contributions in the future. The
moneys raised by Mr.. Hartman and con-
tributed by the 3ife insurance companies
aggregating S350000 was but a drop in
the bucket as compared with the total
contributions by railroads and other
great corporations. The public impor-
lance Of an investigation at this time.
therefore, cannot be overestimated.
"One of the questions now pressing for
solution is whether Federal governmental
control over railroads and other great
corporations shall be further extended
1t will help to solve that problem rightly
to learn that governmental power in the
past has been used for political purposes,
used 10 raise money to continue an ex-
listing administration. The proof that il
has been used will make it perfectly clear
to every mind that it can be used again.
Aye that it will be used again and in
deed. will be continued to be used so long
as politics and business can be made mu-
tually helpful to each other.
Possession by the public of that
knowledge. and the necessary deductions
therefrom, will inevitably lead to at
tempts to surround such power as has
been or may be conferred with the abso-
lutely necessary safeguards against po-
litical abuse of it. So far no effort has
been made I'm that direction. It has not
been made because the people have not
appreciated the necessity of it. That they
may do so, an Investigation should be
had that will bring out the whole truth
