The see-saw game that has been
played within the Stewart Mining
company for some time, between i.
Augustus Heinze and certain interests
who have tried to Dust the former
Butte magnate, has finally ended with
Heinze ON top. All this is of keen in
terest to the many holders of Stewart
stock in Butte. The mine itself has
been earning at the rate of $l,0oo,0G0
year. but continual litigation has de-
pressed the stock, says the Butte
Miner
Heinze has again secured control of
the Stewart Mining company and the
same process that has replaced him in
the presidency of this corporation has
made possible the repayment of a part
of the $l,00o,ooO loan which the Unit
ed Copper company obtained several
years ago from syndicate In which
the Assets Realization company was a
factor
When the United Copper company
borrowed $1,000,00o from Philadel-
phia syndicate 1t gave as collateral a
block of Stewart Mining company
stock exceeding half million shares
some Ohio Copper stock and bonds,
New York & Pennsylvania Conl coma
pany securities, control of tract Of
timber land in British Columbia and
other miscellaneous securities. The
loan defaulted when it fell due and
shortly thereafter receiver was ap-
pointed.

their identity, but that they were at

become evident from the fact that he

company.

The most interesting and important
niece Of news received in the Occur
d'Alene district since the war started
was contained In a short telegram this
week received by the local manage
ment Of the Interstate Callahan mine
from the companys head Office in
Duluth. The telegram simply instruct
ed the manager Of the property to put
on 100 miners at once, and push the
property to its capacity as fast as pos
sible. The increased activity at the
mine Is Of course due to the advance
in the price of zinc, and that the conn.,
.pany expects the present price OF $3.50
to remain firm is evidenced by their
order to increase the working force.
The mine had just cut down it's crew
few weeks ago to about so men, and
II was expected that even further cur
tailment would be necessary. The war,
however. directly affected the Euro
pean zinc production, and officials OF
the company, being officially Informed
Of this, ordered immediate resumption
Of mining.
Secretary Lane of the interior de-
partment, in an official letter describ-
ing the zinc situation in Europe and
its effect upon the zinc market at
home. says:
1.-The smelling centers of the contin-
ent are in the zone Of fighting. In
Belgium, for instance, practically all
the zinc smelters lie along the line OF
attack chosen by the German armies,
while in Rhennish Prussia, Austria
Hungary, and Russian Poland the
smelters are likewise located where
military operations promise to be
most active. 1t Is within the limits OF
probability to expect loss of half a
million tons in the foreign production
Of zinc or nearly half the worlds out
put, with beneficial effect upon the re-
cent overproduction in the United
States, especially as affording the op-
portunity to export zinc and galvan-
ized iron products to South American
countries, which market has hitherto
been only in part utilized by our ex-
porters."
The Interstate Callahan company
will take advantage Of the zinc situa-
tion as fast as their plant can be en-
larged to near its capacity, and with
this end in view new milling plant
has been planned for construction at
an early date. The location Of the
plant has not been made public, but 1t
Is known that severa, different loca-
tions have been looked over and plan
ned on including a site at Enaville.
At this point the company would have
plenty of room and plenty of water

hECLA PAYS DIVIDEND.

The Hecla Mining company,
with offices In Wallace and
mines at Burke. today declared
dividend No. 1874 for cents per
share. or a total Of $4,000.
This payment brings the to-
tai divi lends declared for the
present year to slS0.000. and the
grand total to date up to $3,-
10000.
For many years now the Hecla
monthly dividends have been as
regular as time with extra
quarterly dividends thrown In
as good measure. Indications at
the mine point to the fact that
the past big record of the prop
erty will be repeated for many
years to come.

Stockholders will be called upon to
vote on the question of granting
statutory consent to the board OF di-
rectors for the amendment of the by
laws In such manner as the directors
may determine" In what direction

appear from the proxy, but year ago
in calling the meeting Heinze inforn-
ed the stockholders that he desired a
change In the bylaws in order that
the company could Increase It's prop
erty holdings In Idaho and other
states. The vigilance Of the McKinnon
opposition, which was then victorious,
prevented the. proposed alteration.
Henze says to the Stewart stock
holders; 81 am glad to be able to re-
port that the mining operations Of tho
company have been exceedingly sue
cessful during the past year, and div
idend payments aggregated 42is per
cent. The management was hamper
ed by internal dssensions, which have
been overcome through the resigna-
ton of McKinnon, Marshall and Car
rington as well as dismissal of num-
Der of suits against the company.

SILVER MAKES BIG JUMP.


Word was received by mining
companies in Wallace this NOR
ming from smelters that the
smelling companies would set
tie for silver at the rate Of 56 5-S
cents per ounce. The cause for
the sudden advance was not
stated.
With silver at this price and
zinc at $3.50 and lead at $500
there is cause for thanksgiving
among the people Of the Coeur
d'Alenes. The mines that have
recently curtailed their output
will in all probability be back
to normal production again
within a short time.

carefully worked out program for
moral instruction in the elementary
grades impresses Bureau of Education
officials as one of the most valuable
of the present efforts to make educa-
ton tell in fine character.
Storytelling forms the basis of most
of the instruction in Prof. Gould's
plan. Once a week or cttener, it is
assumed, the teacher OF principal give
a systematic lesson on the conduct Of
life. The various virtues are Their
taught, not as distractions, but by con
crete examples and by interesting

FINE PROGRESSM MADE

IcAN TROUBLES is BEING
WORKED OUT SLOWLY.
INDICATORS SATISFIED WITH WORK
Delegates Desire to Learn Who Would
Suit President Wilson as Success
sor to Huerta-Land Question
Serious P~erplexities.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Smooth prog
ress toward a common agreement on
all phases of the Mexican problem is
being made by the mediators and the
American and Mexican delegates. This
was stated with emphasis by the me-
diators Tuesday after many confer
ences, principally with Mexican dele
gates.
The mediators have taken the posi-
ton that they are es entially coun-
sellers, and not dictators of the desti-
MES of the Mexican republic. They
will not suggest names for the provi-
sional presidency nor recommend any
form of government.
From the Mexican delegates them
selves must originate proposals con
corning the internal affairs of their
country. They do not conceive it to
be their duty to undertake to legislate
upon questions which properly fall
within the jurisdiction of the consti-
tutional government whenever estab-
lished. The most they can do in this
direction would be in the line of sug-
gestion and kindly recommendation.
Want Suggestion From U. S.
The theory under which the internal
questions are being brought into the
discussion is that the United States
has a right to say whom it will recog-
nize as provisional president of Mex
leo, and therefore can indicate in ad
| vance who will be acceptable.
The threatened deadlock over the
! vexed land question in Mexico is be-
! lieved to have been averted by a com
promise in which the Mexican and
! American delegates made concessions.
!, For several days the diplomatic
tribunal d~espaired of finding a com
4 mon meeting place, but finally both
sides have come to see that If the me-
diation is to be a success this ques-
ton must be viewed in a spirit of con
Citation.
The Mexican delegates insisted that
in the existing condition of Mexico il
was idle to talk of a wholesale sub
= division of estates for the benefit OF
! an igronant and ~improyident class
lacking both energy and thrift t.
q profit by such a humanitarian scheme
Finally they held that the whole
d land question lay without the field Of
IT mediation and belonged TO the legis
a lative body of Mexico alone to dea
with.
p The delegates representing the Uni
p ted States held firmly to their GROUND
2 that this problem must be solved t.

Now it may be safely stated that b.

hope that the matter will be adjuste'

power, and the Americans a~cceptin

rendered.

TOXIC, JAPAN, ON LAST
SUNDAY NIGHT.
Use MILLION TORCHES and LANTERN
Every Door and Window Above First

Closed and Dark-Death Had
Occurred April 9.

Toxic. Japan.-A million torches
and lanterns illuminated Toxic Sun
day night when the body of the EN-
press Dowager Haruko was borne
through the streets in a beautiful fu-
neral car drawn by white oxen. There
had been no pageant of such solemn
grandeur here since the funeral Oh
Emperor Mutsuhito, a year aud a nall
ago.
Practically the entire American col
n viewed the procession from varl-
GUS points of vantage. 1t is a rule h a
no Japanese subjects may loo down
upon a royal parsonage from elevated
points, whether the royalties be dead
or alive. In strict observance OF this
every door and window above b first
floors along the funeral route was
closed and dark.
The ceremonies were the culmina.
tion of a service of services held daily
since the official death of the EN-
press dowager on April II. Her &C
tual death occurred two days earlier
at Numadzu, but tradition prescr1bes
that no member of the imperial fam
lily can die outside of the capital, Sc
the body of the empress was conveyed
to Toxic, and driven smartly to the
Aoyama palace in a closed private car
riage. At the palace she OFFICIALLY
died a few hours later.
Installation of the Spirit"
In the six weeks since then a specia
temple was erected on the Yoyogi mi
itary field, southwest Of the city
where the main funeral service wa
held. In the morning the service c
installation of the spirit was pei
formed with great ceremony. The en-
peror, the empress, princes and pril
cesses of the blood were present t
pray before the shrine.
BY noon crowds, augmented by thol
sands from the country, filled tn
streets. The people stood for houl
waiting for the cortege.
At dusk when the illumination {
