REPORT Of FEDERAL
DIVIDEND NOT CORRECT
SIDNEY NORMAN SECURES
DIRECT INFORMATION ON
THE sUeJEcT.

The Miner Is authorized to state.
upon authority of Sidney Norman. who
lis now in Spokane, that the published
report that a dividend of sl05.000 on
preferred and $4,000 on common
stock had been declared this month
Iby the Federal company on its Occur
dAlene holdings is incorrect. There
lis nothing to it whatever. Mr.: Nor
man gets this information direct from
the headquarters offices in New York.
The dividend report was published
Isome days ago in the Spokane papers,
lbut no denial of it has been given equal
publicity. though the papers are said
to be acquainted with the facts in the
case.

common stock in the Federal Mining
and Smelling company and is promi-
nent In the litigation now pending in
eastern courts brought by minority
stockholders against those in company

GOOD RESULTS
EXPECTED.

A meeting of the directors Of the
Dalmatla Mining company was held
in Wallace at the office of +. Hedin,
secretary. July 3. An assessment of j
mills per share was levied The pur-
pose is to at once renew development
of the property in order to get good
advantage Of the favorable weather
conditions during the summer and fall
months. The Dalmatia is one OF the
well known and promising Pine creek
properties.
Following are extracts taken from
a circular letter sent out to the stock
holders after the meeting:
"The work on the property this sea-
son will be directed to further explore
he vein through our main tunnel mo-"
in about 500 feet, and where some high

found, and which, in the opinion OF eT-

MUCH MINING ACTIVITY
AROUND AVERY
vAsr TERRITORY IN sHosHoNE
COUNTY VERY LITTLE
PRosPEcrED.

There Is more mining activity
more prospecting and preliminary de-
veopment work--in the vicinity OF
Avery this season than for any past
year in It's history" said Sheriff Thos
McCabe Monday upon his return home
from trip Of several days on official
business to that part of the county.
~ heard this on all Sides" said the
sheriff, though of course had no OPP
portunity to get out In the hills and
see much Of it on this trip. From
samples of ore ] saw and from a gen.
eral knowledge Of the district and also
from what learned from reliable
sources am impressed with the be-
lief that this part Of our county has
mineral resources of great import
ance."
The big end Of Shoshone county, in
area, is on the drainage of the st. Joe
river, a fact not known to all who
live in the more developed and more
thickly populated portion drained by
the Coeur d'Alene river Much Of this
st. Joe region is unexplored, little
prospected and unsettled Its timber
resources are equal to those of any
like area in the United States, portions
of Oregon and Washington probably
excepted And What mineral develop
ment has taken place has given due
encouragement and furnished abund-
ant evidence that 1t has a promising
future In this respect
Among others doing development
work and meeting with encourage
ing results is William Ferrell, pioneer
settler of the lower st. Joe and foun-
der of the town which bears his name
now engaged in the hotel business Mt
Avery. He Is opening a copper prop
erty in the vicinity of Avery and get
ting an excellent grade of that ore.
Sheriff McCabe was over to Averv
Ito investigate robbery that took
rlace there recently. aud both he and
Deputy Collins, who Is stationed IN
that part of the county, arc confident
they have corralled their men, two ne
yroes, In Seattle. This being correct
lit makes a clear record for the sheriff
in landing evil doers, for thus far dur
ing his administration he has 'let NJ

has already been subscribed" states
Manager Charles McKinnis, "some
stockholders desiring more than their
proportionate share under the ar
rangcment"
There is much activity at the Ma
tional at the present time and every
advantage Is being taken of the favor
able weather conditions to forward the
work. A commodious boarding house
Is under construction, the dining room
OF which will seat at one time 14o
men: also bunkhouse, 106 feet in
length, with two stories and base
ment. These are to be steam heated
and thoroughly modern in every re-
spect.
Grading for the blacksmith shop and
machine shop at the mine has been
completed Excavation for large
compressor building has been started.
A 30-drul compressor plant has been
purchased from the Occur d'Alene
Ironworks.
The company has also let a contract
to l.. f.. Neal to raise 500 feet IN order
to make connection between the lower
and upper workings of the mine.
The process of treating the ore of the

ZINC AND LEAD PRICES

! Recently the London price of lead
has ranged about the same as the New
York price. That. however is not u
condition that can be relied upon as
permanent If 1t were 80 tariff leglsla-
tion in this country would cut little or
no figure. But accurate government
statistics covering a period of seven
years In the past show that such a
condition has prevailed but seven
months in that time, In other words.
to bring the application home, lead
could have been produced here in the
Occur d'Alenes. profitably and under
present conditions, but for onc-twelfth
of the time in that seven years, ending
with and including 1912, under free
trade or greatly reduced lead tariff. We
can calculate with accuracy on the
past. but can only speculate on the
future. The following comment on
present prevailing prices of lead In
New York and London, taken from
the San Francisco Mining and Scien-
tihc Press. is interesting
"In the latter part of May there was
a little furry in lead, though no buy
ing that might be called heavy. Early
in June interest died out, but the metal
remained firm at $435 New York and

Spelter.

Within the past few months, or since
the tariff agitations became pronounce
ed, the price of zinc has declined
from IA and 1-2 to 5 cents. Ship
pers from the Coeur d'Alepes state
that the latter price now prevails at
st. Louis, where the metal Is market
ed. Much zinc is consumed in the
electrical works and also in galvaniz-
ed productions, and the steel trust *
the biggest purchaser Their influ-
ence is said to be used in lowering the
zinc tariff. Zinc ore shipped from
the Occur d'Alenes does not carry the
by-product of silver as does the lead
ore. The same paper has the following
comment on the zinc market:
"The market at the beginning Of
June was about s. 90 New York and
s515 st. Louis, very quiet and weak.
It was reported that the demand Of th'
galvanIzers had fallen Off. AS the
month progressed there were repeated
declines. and the only demand that
might he called even fair was for
future metal. Toward the end of June
the metal was quoted at around $5,1'

ers were not inclined to prees sales al
these prices. It come to light tha
about 1000 pounds Of spelter which
had been smelted in bond from Mex

In the last few days Of the month
