ACCIDENT INSURANCE.

In another column will be found
the report of the Hecla Provident
and Accident Insurance association.
This Is an association conducted b.
the mining company and It's EN-.
ployes Jointly to provide for benefits
70 employees in case Of accident and
to their heirs In case of death. 1t
will be noted that during the two
years only one fatal accident hap
pened and that consequently only one
death claim had to be paid. 1t will
also be noted that the association ia
now, though 1t started only two
years ago without dollar OF actual
capital. In excellent financial condi-
ton. That 1t has been a great boon
to the employees of the Hecla COM
pany there can not be the least doubt.
The Federal company and it's en-
ploycs have similar insurance asso-
citation. while the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan company contributes half
the funds to the insurance depart
ment of the Wardner Industrial
union which insures such of it's en-
ployes as desire to take advantage OF
that unions insurance department.

the problem involved In it's opera
ton and to be in a fair way to make
as big mine as the Pittsburg.
The Alice Is only now getting Its
first real show, 1000 feet of work
heretofore done on that property
having been too near the surface to
secure results, though 1t did expose
a greater quantity of ore than was
ever found In any mine In the Occur
d'Alenes at similar depth and under
similar conditions. Its ultimate sue
cess is now regarded as a certainty.
Between these mines lie large
number Of properties which are now
being actively developed with good
prospects Of their shortly joining the
ranks Of the producers. Among
these are the MayAower and Hector
on the same great ore zone as the
Alice; the Wonder group, between
the Alice lode and the Bell; the Ala
media. adjoining the Success; and
the Cuba. Eureka and Shoshone on
lower Nine Mile creek.
The individual who has or ac-
Qulres an interest IN these proper
ties has assuredly laid good foun-
dalton for a fortune.

CHARLES DICKENS NINE.

! Since the Miner described the
Charles Dickens mine on Moon
creek in its first issue we have re-
ceived information which convinces
lis that we did that property scant
justice. We now believe it to be a
much bigger mine than was then
our opinion, based on our informa-
ton at that time. We are convinced
that the ore shoots are longer, wider
and richer than we reported them to
be and of one thing we are sure
and that Is that the management has
the most implicit confidence In the
future OF the mine.
Last week A. d. Gritman of Spo-
kane. who some months ago obtain
cd the control Of the property under
bond, bought block of $4,000
shares at rs cents a share, on which
he had paid a $500 deposit when
the market price of the stock was
only Is cents.
Still more significant Is the fact
that the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
management has made partial ex-
animation Of the mine and has made
an offer for the property conditioned
on an inspection Of the lower work.

NINE DIVIDENDS.

II there ia one task that Is more
congenial than another to the edi
tor of mining paper it Is the an
nouncement OF dividends. Fortu
nately for the editor OF the Miner
this Is not infrequent task; In fac
II Is our pleasure to record one OF
more dividends paid by Occur
d'Alene companies almost every
week.
We have already expressed the
belief that this district outranks all
Others. both in respect to the amount
of dividends paid as to the amount
of wealth produced by the mines
and also as regards the total Of dlvi-
dends to that OF the aggregate
amount Of money invested in the
prospecting. development, equip
ment and operation OF our mines.
II there Is any class of investors
who deserve dividends 1t Is those
who risk their capital In the devel-
opment Of mines. 1t takes courage
and caution combined. as a rule, to
make such an Investment and these
are qualities which deserve to COM
mand success. In this district they
generally do. The fortunes acquired
are seldom due to blind luck. With
out persistence and patience the re-
ward would have gone to some one
else.

Working On Dram Case.

There have been no developments
in the Dram murder case since the
last issue of the Democrat. Sheriff
Martin is working quietly and has a
few clues which may lead to some
thing but is very naturally making no
noise about what he is doing.
Sheriff Martin has offered per-
sonal reward of $3.50 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction
OF the murderer. It was reported here
Sunday that two suspects had been
arrested in Stanford but this report
proved to be without foundation.

"San Diego has been growing at
the rate of one thousand "er month

J. E. Lane, who has been one of
the strong men of the city council

Getting READY TO
ADVERTISE FERGUS
DATA AS TO YIELDS OF HAY.
WHEAT AND OATS IS BE-
ING COLLECTED.

John B. Ritch this week is sending
out several hundred blanks to grain
growers Of Fergus county, the idea
being to secure some data on the
wheat, oats and hay crops this year.
Mr.. Ritch's idea is to get data as
complete as possible on not less than
twenty-five thousand acres of agri-
cultural land in Fergus county and
the figures will be used in getting up
advertising matter which will be dis
tributed by the people of Lewistown.
It is believed that when all of these
figures are compiled they will make
an exceptionally fine showing for
Fergus county as an agricultural
region. They will more than likely
reveal the fact that the average yield
of wheat in Fergus county this year
is greater than was ever recorded for
an area of equal size in this coun-
try.
The wheat crop is growing larger
with every crop threshed. The gov
ernment estimate of the Fergus coun-
tv crop was 100000 bushels. 1t is
now assured that the crop will great
ly exceed this estimate and it now
appears that the estimate of 10000
bushels, made by the Democrat sew
eral weeks ago will not be far off.
