OF the above companies paid their
former owners big profits. Those
OF the Federal company paid in
dividends (aside from the selling
price Of the mines) %, 4SS, 3O7.
The Snow Storm paid its lsasers
100000. The Frisco paid its old
owners 81, 1886 in profits. The
Pittsburg paid at least $4,000 and
the Success paid its old owners
about 100000.
When these sums are all added
together with the Monitors one

MUST PUZZLE INVESTORS

II is perfectly obvious from two
letters which we publish in thi,
issue that very conflicting reports
regarding many Of the Coeu1
d'Alene properties which are seek.
ing capital for development pur.
poses are frequently received by the
outside public. 1t must really
seem to these enquiring investors
that it makes all the difference in
the world whom they get their in
formation from and must leave
them frequently as much in doubt
as ever as to whether the property
in question is good prospect or a
wildcat.
In one case above referred to we
find Mr.. Brice, a promoter of
Snowstorm Extension, knocking
East Snowstorm. In the other case
we find Mr.. Bracking strongly dis
couraging investment in any but
his own companies.
We would like to know the
reason for this. Do they think to
establish reputation for conserva-
tism and veracity by making out
everybody else to be liars, or are
they just 80 greedy that they want to
gohble up every dollar themselves
that heads this way?
Mr.. Brice's enthusiasm over East
Snowstorm or Mr.. Bracking's belief
that the Phoenix and North Frank
lin, will make great mines would be
much more reasonable and con-
to our way of thinking if
they could see equal merit in neigh
boring properties with similar or
better ore showings.
We are afraid that our advice to |
ne investor must be to subscribe
or the Miner, read it carefully and
rust to us to get the facts as nearly
light as it is possible for human
icing to do.

I'VE consider the Idora a splendid
investment having twice inspected
the property, the last time about a
month ago. It is mine beyond
all question and the market price
Of its stock at the present is simply
ridiculous. John H. Nordquist is
the colnpany's president and there
is no better or more successful
mining engineer or mine manager
in the district. His reputation in
in all respects is above rcproach.
The Peterson company Of Spokane,
we believe, holds controlling in
interest in the company and in
somewhat extensive dealings with
them We have found them to be
absolutely honest and honorable.

Some correspondents have asked
us why we reprint 80 many mining
items from other papers. Well,
sometimes it is to confirm news we
have already printed and other
times it is because we have no first
hand knowledge of the facts and no
time or opportunity to confirm
them and in such cases we prefer
to hold the other paper responsible
rather than accept the responsible
ity ourselves.

The East Snowstorm compan,
, owns four claims on the little North
Fork of the South Fork OF the Coeu,
d'Alene river, short distance above
the Snowstorm mine and generally
, conceded to be on the same vein.
The c. r. Mitchell company Of
Spokane is promoting it and J. NJ.
Scrafford is the manager. The COM
pany is doing good honest develop
ment work on the property under
the direction Of Mr.. Scrafford who
is a thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced mine manager, having
had charge Of some of the best
mines in British Columbia where
we personally knew him for years.
On the east side Of the creek a
short tunnel has been driven on the
ledge that gained only slight depth
and revealed no particular ore
showing. On the west side, the one
nearest the Snowstorm, tunnel
has been driven 400 feet on the foot |
wall OF the vein, showing IS inches
OF tale all the way and having
depth at the face OF 800 feet. Four
crosscuts have been made towards
the hanging wall, one OF them 100
feet long, but it was not disclosed. i
Several stringers OF high grade Dor
mite ore were however, exposed but
the vein matter was 30 badly broken
up that Mr.. Scrafford considered
more depth essential to the finding
Of commercial ore bodies and this
depth is now being gained by means
OF shaft from the tunnel level.
These facts prove that Mr.. Brice's
statement that the claims are all
on the fiat in the mud" is untrue.
The lay Of the ground is exactly I
similar to that OF the Tiger-Poor-
nan mine on canyon creek which \
axes in the bed Of the creek and 1
extends up the hill on both sides.
The G. E. Mitchell company has \
lot been operating long in this dis :
riot but it has already accomplish
d an immense amount Of develop \
nent work on its four properties 1
nd enjoys a good reputation. Wei ,
ave asked several prominent \
Julian mining men about the East 4
nowstorm and they all agree that ,
has a good prospect Of developing \
Ito a mine. Ed ID

Brics Knocking East Snowstorm

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 7, 1907
Wallace Miner Wallace, Idaho
Gentlemen--I am interested to
! learn what I can about the East
Snowstorm Mining company's prop
crty. Some Of my friends have be-
come interested in it.
| Mr.. Brice, who is connected with
the Snowstorm Extension says that
that the East Stowstorm claims are
all on the flat in the mud; they
have no ore showing justifying de-
velopment and that the G. f. Nit
chell company are rank takers.
Now, | don't know Mr.. Brice SUI
ficiently well to know whether he is
justified in this statement, or
whether he is that type Of i man
who would knock a neighbor prop
erty, thinking to further his own
interests.
Judge that from your position
as a business man that you have no
favorites to play and would be in a
position to give me a candid opin-
ion as to the merits of this East
Snowstorm property; what it is
thought Of in your community
among mining men and how the c. |
Il. Mitchell Co. stands in that COM
munity.s
Such information would be Of |
very much service to me, as any /
investment that my friends or / |
would likely make would want to
be in company in which the men
back OF it are men Of integrity and
ability and I will most heartily
thank you for any information that
you can furnish me touching these
points.
Yours truly,
NJ. l. X.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-08-15

We have heard it said, though
we could seldom see any truth in
its particular application, that a
knock was as good as boost.
Maybe that is the reason some
promoters try to knock all the rest
as hard as they can.

We trust that the repeated
rumors that the Greenoughs will
throw up their bond on the control
OF the Copper King will prove to be
untrue. The strike on the Imperial
should give them new courage if
nothing else will. The Copper King
is in such good company that it
would hardly seem as if it could
fail to make mine though devel-
opment to date may not have been
quite up to expectations.

THE CAMP FOR DIVIDENDS

THE CAMP FOR DIVIDENDS
The Miner has endeavored from
the first to bring the fact promin-
emily to the attention Of the public
that the Occur d'Alcne district was
the best camp in the world 70,
dividends. It is meeting with
some success in this line as besides
those 1t is able to reach directly it
finds the facts and figures it has
tabulated being reproduced, gener-
ally without any credit we regret to
say, by numerous other agencies.
AS our primary object Is to adver-
tise the district, trusting to get our
share Of the business afterwards,
we would rather see these state
ments reproduced without credit
than not produced at all, but we
would not be human ii we did not
prefer to get the credit that is due
us when other papers, associations
or promoters use our tables, as did
both the Spokane Stockholders
Association and the Idaho Press
last week.
However that may be, the fact
that the district il beginning to get
the advertising it needs is the fact
OF most Importance. We have now
six regular dividend-paying mines;
three more which have already dis
tributed considerable profits and
host Just entering on the stage when
they will begin to do 50.
The regular dividend payers are:
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan,
Federal Mining and Smelling,
Hercules mine, Hecla, Snow Storm
and Success. Those which have
already paid out some profits and
will soon resume the same pleasing
performance are: The Frisco,
Pittsburg and Monitor. Among
the certain dividend payers Of the [
near future are: The Tamarack,
Hunter, Golden Chest, Stewart, I
Surprise, Rex, Charles Dickens, {
Callahan, 1dora, Beartop, Nabob, t
Highland Chief, and many others !
n all sections Of the district as are i
hese we have named.

payers we find the following to be r
