Some Of the most important work

been In progress this winter on the
Sunset group, the property Of Senator

Its Importance is from the fact that
vast amount Of future work depends
upon what Is disclosed by present op-
erations. Senator Clark is probably,
without exception, the most success

SNOWsTORM DIVIDEND.
Checks Are to Be Sent Out About
MaY 10.

Directors of the SnoWstorm Mining
company, in session at the property
near Mullan Tuesday, declared a divi-
dend of s22,500, which is at the rate of
10 cents share.
Checks will be issued on April 10.
This will bring the sum distributed to
$1,152,170.
The reduction In the size of the dis
bursements this month Is attributed
to the expenses incurred recently in
the installation Of mining and milling
machinery and development and to the
desire of the directors to keep tho
surplus intact.

LEASES PREPARE FOR

OF WARDNER-EAsY HAUL
TO THE RAILROAD.

One of the most interesting pieces
of work in the camp is what is known
as the Tyler lease at Wardner. This
is on the old workings of the Tyler
ground, above the upper workings OF
the Bunker Hill. the property now be-
ing owned by the Bunker Hill com
pany. 1t was, however, one Of the
figured prominently in the big itiga-
ton which occupied the state and
federal courts for so many years. The
present lease seems to be one of the
most profitable ever held in the Occur

scription of the present work and

TPlans are also being considered to in

The Indian Trail,

The weather became colder as the
day advanced. Scattered pellets of
snow in the air lashed the faces Of
the troopers, who rode steadily for
ward, the capes of their overcoats
thrown over their heads for protec-
ton. The snow of the late storm lay
in drifts along the banks of the mar
row stream, and the horses picked
their passage higher up where the
wind had swept the brown earth clear,
at the same time keeping well below
the crest. AS they thus toiled SLOW
ly forward, Hamlin related his story
to the Major in detail, carefully con-
cealing all suspicion of McDonald's
connection with the crime. 1t was
