THE HOMESTAkE.
Remarkable Record Of This Famous
Low Grade Gold Mine.

December 81, 1913, closed the thirty
fifth successful year of that remark
able low grade mine, the Homestake.
1t was during this year that the COM
pany, after paying dividends continu-
ously with two slight interruptions,
for "a years, declared an extra divi-
dend Of Is per cent in stock and on
top of that increased it's annual rate
from Sc to $3.50 share, and then on
top Of this declared an extra dividend
in December.
We present herewith, say Hayden,
Stone & Co.. table showing the gross
and net income for the last six and a
half years. With the exception Of
1910, when, for few months, opera
tons were interfered with by labor
troubles, the steadily increasing ten
dency Of the income will be no1ed
During this period the company paid
dividends of $S.425OOO. Total divi-
dends paid to date are s32,414O00.
A record such as this suggests the
possibilities Of long continued and in
creasing profits from a gold mine
where there is a sufficient volume Of
developed ore to warrant the erection
of large reduction works.

"Comin' Thro' the Rye"
Probably very few persons Under
stand the expression. Comm Through
the Rye" There is in Scotland a small
stream called the Rye. The girls had
to ford it going to church, school or
market, and as the water was foot or
two deep, they had to hold their skirts
up. The boys would meet them in mid
stream and kiss them without any diff
ficulty, as the the girls couldn't drop
their skirts to make any resistance.
That's what the poet meant when he
wrote, IF a body kiss body comm
through the Rye" though many think
it means a field Of rye.

Record Breaking Year.

Thelmlnes Of Idaho during 1913 have
again outstripped all former records or
ore production and further demon
strates the wonderful vitality and en-
DURANGO Of our principal ore deposits
after so many years Of active produce
ton. This is especially true of our
lead-silyer bearing ore resources, par
tlcularly in Shoshone county, and also
in other ead-silver ore bearing coun-
ties Of the state, where marked pro-
gress was made in several notable IN
stances that lead to the safe conclu-
sion Of a revived interest in these ola
districts and Of their again assuming
a commanding position in the produc-
ton of this desirable mineral.
Great strikes were made in the de-
velopment of new ore resources IN
both the old and new mines of the
state; very little outside capital be-
came interested in this industry in
Idaho during the year and the new
ore development was largely attribut-
ed to consistent efforts of established
operators. with a few notable eXcep-
tions. Metal values maintained falr
average price throughout the year,
weakening towards the end and there
was a good demand for labor and the
demand was well supplied.

One of the good results Of the modern
craze for dancing has been its effect on
footgear. Very few young housewives
will adopt a decidedly easy mode of foot
gear simply because it is comfortable.
but II the comfortable house shoe comes
as a part of fashions dictates, that is
another matter.
And now after a season or so of eI-
ceedingly uncomfortable shoes-high
heels and narrow toes-there is an indi-
cation, so it is rumored, that the pendu-
lum is swinging the other way. One Of
the prominent society dancers made a
move in the right direction when she or
dered her own dancing shoes on a round
toe last-a last that fits snugly to the
toes, but does not pinch anywhere.
So now, Mistress Housewife, you may
be perfectly comfortable and at the
same time fashionable. You can skip
around in your housework with your feet
as free in their motions as your hands,
and yet feel that you DO not look slip

ing hours you cannot do better than to
wear white canvas footwear because Of
GOODNESS. White footwear can be made

with comfort-that is, II they do not slip

places, for less than 81 pair. These, of
course. give better support to the instep
than the pump.
There are several varieties Of black
fontF"9r that give the housewife ample
ST. 20 and comfort. although 1t is not
easy TO persuade the shoe dealer that
they are what you want. A high-heeled
slipper is obviously not desirable for
much standing. neither is a heavy, walk
ing boot nor sim pump. What you
want is a light-soled slipper or pump
with a strap across the instep or ankle,
and these pumps are to be had usually
in the Junior or children's department Of
the shoe stores Sometimes these youth
ful-looking slippers can be had In bronze
leather, which is no more expensive than
the black, and appeals to some tastes.
Another SOFT Of slipper that answers the
requirements for homework is the fat
heeled slipper such as is used by profess
sional dancers. They have a short vAmp,
a round toe, a low heel, and a broad
ankle strap, giving the dancer perfect
support with the least possible weight
Yet they have to be stoutly built because
dancing requires as hard and incessant
work as homework. These slippers, so
the shoe dealer says, are built on the
same last used in making the ballet san
dal. and so closely does 1t fit the foot
that most women need to be fitted in a
size smaller than their usual size. These
dancing slippers are usually made up in
expensively-to retail at $2.5o-and this
quality is quite suitable for ordinary
wear.
