work on its property adjoining the
Hecla mine at Burke on the west
about the first of the month.
A drift tunnel will be run on one
OF the two lodges which traverse the
property from point near the east
end line Of the Ophir claim. 1t will
be run In 500 feet when a crosscut
will be made to the north vein. This
work should open up the ground in
such systematic way that its real
value can be most quickly and eco
nomically proved. Archie McCallum
will be In charge of the work and 1t
will be done by means OF an Inger-
electric air drill such as
has just been installed in the Lucky
Friday mine at Mullan by Manager
George D. Potter.
The company owns three claims.
the Bamboo Chief, Ophir and Ruby.
They lie directly in line with the
Hecla and are believed to be ira
vcrsed by that ledge. The surface
shows two strong, iron-capped veins.
Shortly after incorporation an
option on the control Of the COM
pany was taken by fairy r. Allan.
He has since turned his option over
to the Pohlman Investment COM
pany OF Spokane. Mr.. Allan has
paid $1,000 down on his stock option
and has provided the company with
$4,000 of working capital.

quarter saw $ 900 Of the profits paid out while $780,
went to the shareholders at Christmas time. During the
same period treasury reserve Of $25oooo was accum
alated
The increased dividends are due principally to two
causes First the higher price Of late Of the metals lead
and silver and second to the marked increase in the quality
and quantity Of the now being opened up the 9oot
level In minor way the increase has also been due to
improved machinery and methods in handling and sorting
the ore at the mine and to enlarged and improved mill
and closer milling.
The fact is that the body the 9OOfoot level is
not only much wider and longer than found to be
any Of the levels above but it much richer that to
say carries much larger percentage Of shipping ORE
that with the improved apparatus for handling and sorting
it has been possible to than double the shipments Of
crude ore to the smeter while at the same time the mill
has been provided with more quality Of feed with
the consequence that much better results have been OBJ
tained there
