SEATTLE, May 4.-Tht Alaska
Steamship Compsny2s Dirigo, which ran
aground in Useless Bay, WILDLY
Island, Saturday night succeeded in
crawling off, then returned TO this port
and following a survey which revealed
that she sustaiped no damage, sailed
again At 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The Dirigo put to sea, however, with a
new master, Captain William Jensen,
former master of the freight steamer
La Toucho, on the bridge. An invosti.
cation held by the company revealed
some rather startling phases as re-
CARDS careless navigation. 1t developed
that for almost thirty minutes after
the Dirigo ran aground her engines
continued to turn Nful speed ahead.
The night was clear, No one aboard
the vessel knew she was aground until
Chief Engineer s. Codding, becoming
suspicious because of the lack of vi
bration, went on deck and found the
ship stuck IN a mud bank. Codding
first sent an oiler to the deck TO in
yestigate. The oiler returned with the
report that the vessel was close to
shore, but going ahead all right. Dis
satlshed, Codding sent the oiles to call
Assistant Engineer J. l.. Behringer to
stand watch for him in the engine
room. When the oiler returned Cod
ding asked where the vessel was. ain

regarding the Interstate Callahan. AS

Shipments to the smelters for the
month Of June amounted to 3247 tons.
which averaged 40 per cent zinc, and
which should return to the company
better than 100000. This is a fine
showing when the low price Of the
commodity at this time Is considered.
With a return of prices formerly pre-
vailing for the metal 1t will be no
trouble for Interstate Callahan to
earn 100000 per month with its
present mill. The company will be
able to double the output of the plant
when market conditions warrant and
in the meantime production will not
be crowded. The work of develop
ment and blocking out Of ore at the
mine continues steadily, and ore re-
serves are increasing constantly"

strike of much importance was
made on the property of the Two Mile
Mining company, situated on the east
fork of Two Mile creek, near Osburn
last week. The Two Mile group has
been located many years and has been
quite extensively developed, but no
showing to compare with that just
disclosed has ever heretofore been
made. The tunnel in which the ore
was encountered had been started on
what appeared to be the vein and
which was little more than a stringer

quartzite almost the color of lead and

Ben Hervey, who IS the controlling

HECLA MAY INSTALL
FLOTAT|ON PROCESS
DEPENDS UPON RESULT OF THE
TESTS RECENTLY MADE
IN SALT LAKE.

James F. Mccarthy, manager Of the
Hecla Mining company, and John
Wood, superintendent of the Hccla
mill, are expected to arrive home this
evening. They left here some two
weeks ago in Mr.. McCarthy's automo-
bile bound for Salt Lake City, going
by way Of Montana. They reached
Walla Walla on the return trip Tues
day evening, were in Colfax last night
and are expected home this evening
The trip has no doubt proved a pleas
ant one, but pleasure was not the pri-
mary purpose in making it.
May Install FIotation Process.
The Callow flotation process. which
was introduced into the Coeur d'Alene
district by the National company and
which has been found well adapted to
saving values in lead and zinc ore as
well as copper, is being installed in
several other mines generally with the
expectation of making a larger recov-
cry of zinc. The Hecla mine has no
zinc in it's ore to amount to anything.
but limited experiments with the flo
tation process indicated that great ter
saving of values in the shines could
be accomplished through that process
as compared by the results obtained
on the vanners now in use in the Hecla
and other mills Of the district. Ar
rangements were made with the own
ers Of the Callow process to make ex
haustive tests Of Hecla ore and it was
to observe these experiments that Mr..
Mccarthy, accompanied by John
Wood, the mill superintendent, went
to Salt Lake City. The final result of
the tests Is not known, but 1t is be-
lieved that they showed higher per-
centage of saving than Is now obtain
ed by the vanners and that the flota-
tion process will be adopted

Well Founded Report That Work viii

After being idle for several years,
there is now a well founded report
that arrangements will soon be ef-
fccted for a resumption Of develop
ment work on the Dom Paul. For
several years prior to 1907 the Dom
Paul was one of the most prominent
new properties in the district and was
regarded as one having all the ear
marks Of mine. The property was

been exposed. 1t Is probable that the
next work undertaken will be to drive

great depth.

SIDNEY NORMAN vs. FEDERAL MINING
8 SMELLING C0..-DEC|S|ON IN FULL
RIGHTS THE PLAINTIFF APPEAR TO BE GOVERNED BY
AMOUNT STOCK HE REPRESENTATIVE
CASE WILL BE APPEALED
New York, July 2, 1914

To the Editor of The Wallace Miner:
cision in the Federal minority stock
holders case as rendered by Judge
Eugene A. Philbin. in the supreme
court of New York county, yesterday
July l. After you have read the en-
tire opinion you will notice that, af-
ter all, the defendants have not very
much to be proud of. We were denied
verdict apparently because the ac-
tual plaintiffs in the case only owned
about 2 per cent of the outstanding
capital stock. AS a matter of fact and
well known to both sides, our attor-
neys actually represented $75O,O0O
worth of the stock at par and three
owners Of nearly $1,0OOOOO worth par
took independent action, notifying the
smelling company that they were dis
satisfied and that they would either
join us or start suit of their own They
did not join us because they felt that
the questions involved would not be
settled legally by virtue of numbers
and also because they wished to keep
themselves in perfect legal position
to start another action, if same be-
came necessary.
Goes to Appellate Court.
1t is believed by my a a4torneys that
we have an excellent chance of re-
versing the decision in the appellate
division and, of course, the necessary
steps for such appeal are now being
taken. 1t will be interesting to ascer-
tain what percentage of stock hold
ings will be held necessary to secure
a favorable verdict If per cent is
not enough we should like to know if
per cent will do and if not, whether
10 per cent or 25 per cent will be suf-
ficient If any particular percentage
should be found necessary / do not an
ticipate any difficulty in securing sup
port to that amount.
Contention Of Plaintiff.
The decision supports the state
ment of facts as filed by my attorneys
including the fact that the contract
was entered into on behalf of the Fed
eral company by eight directors who
were employed by the smelling COM
pany or were officers thereof No eff
fort was made at the trial to show
that the contract was detrimental to
the minority, because my attorneys
took the position that the question was
not involved. The whole question as
we submitted it was that the Federal
company had a right to be represented
by men who were not under the dom
ination of the smelling company, with
whom the contract was made.
The Guggenheims and their en-
poyes, east and west, are entitled to
the satisfaction that the decision will
bring to them. But the fact still re-
mains-Federal ore is going forward
at a rate much below the market, the
securities of the company have fallen
off $20,000,O00 since the Guggenheims
secured control and many poor stock
holders have lost their all in the ven-
ture.

SIDNEY NORMAN.

the Federal company individually. The
complaint against them was, however,
dismissed, without costs, upon the

the plaintiffs case The gravamen of
the plaintiffs complaint is fraud in the

few days ago which carries additional
significance regarding railroad con-

named in the option is $500 900 and
covers period of five years, the own

One of the conditions Of the option re-
quires Mr.. Day to work two men 20
shifts each month during the life of
the option. The property is located
about IL miles from the mouth of the
Little North Fork. 1t is reported that
there is upwards Of $l5OOoO worth of
copper ore of commercial value In
sight
The Rainbow.
Not far from the Handspike is the
property Of the Rainbow Mining COM
pany upon which work will be re-
sumed this month. A crosscut has
been started which is now in about
300 feet and which will probably reach
the vein within the next so feet. De-
velopment work above, while gaining
little depth, has exposed a big strong
vein carrying good values in lead and
silver, and much confidence is felt that
the extension Of the lower tunnel will
encounter a good ore shoot, If not at
the point of intersection, then by

ed. That ii has not received this at -

large number of settlers have long

which may possibly involve the con-
struction of a railroad also, means a
convenient market for everything
these ranchers can produce While
there is no definite information as to
railroad construction on the Little

much development work, and that a

ground for belief that transportation
