Through the arrest of H. F. Schultz,
of Storm Lake. he is made defendant
in the initial prosecution under the

OLD EMMA OF ALTA
JOINS THE SHIPPERS

Manager William GrOesbeck of the
Old Emma Mining company's proper
ties at Alta, stated yesterday that ship
ments from the mine had commenced.
Thirty-five tons of fine ore is now at
the sampler, and more will be landed
there during the week coming.
I am informed by the mine fore
man." said Mr.. GrOesbeck, that he is
now prepared to continue sending ore
down the canyon regularly and keep it
up all winter. / don't know, of course,
just how the rock is going to average,
but l expect it to carry in the neigh
borhOod of 100 ounces silver and from
80 to 40 per cent lead and good values
i'm gold. Ali the ore opened is in abso-
lutely virgin ground, and at depth of
about 135 feet under the surface. 1t is
going down strong from the tunnel
workings, and we all believe that we
have reached that portion of the prop
erty where the ores will make to the
deep"
During the few months that the ia
nous old property has been under de-
velopment, wonders have been accom-
plished. First of all. it was necessary
to do lot of cleaning out, retimbering,
track-laying and one thing and an
other that consumed time without
bringing results. For more than sixty
days the work of reaching out into new
ground has been under way, and results
are speaking for themselves.

TWO DIVIDENDS
ARE ANNOUNCED
May Day and Uncle Sam Con.
Order Usual Distributions
for December.
BOTH BEFORE CHRISTMAS
CALLS FOR CHECKING OUT OF
$4,000 IN CASH.

The directors of the May Day and
Uncle Sam Consolidated companies met
yesterday afternoon and posted the
usual monthly dividends. The $4,000
or 113c per share posted by the May
Day company will be disbursed on the
I'D to the shareholders of record on the
DOCKS of the company at the, close of
business on the 18th. The Uncle Sam
cOmpany's Scent a share or $4,000 will
be paid on the goth to stockholders of
record on the 14th. Thus the $27, 900
called for will be available for Christ
mas.
There has been some question as to
whether the Uncle Sam company. with
the smelter doors closed against it.
would make a distribution this month.
The action of the directors yesterday
settles the matter. The treasury was
known to be in good shape and it was
known, of course, that the company
would at least be in a position to pay
out what it would receive as its share
of the May Dad distribution, but there
was belief i'm some quarters that the
management would decline to encroach
at all on its reserves until il had some
assurance that the product of the mine
would not be long denied admission to
liAS SllCiIeI. II was pTODdDly reasoned
that, no matter what should happen
in the matter of marketing its ore, the
May Day company would be able to
continue shipping and paying dividends,
so that the Uncle Sam would be sure of
operating expenses, even though all of
it's treasury reserve was paid out for
dividends, and that is true.
There is some ground for the belief
that, soon after the first of the year,
all the shippers of lead-silver ore will
