HECLA DIVIDEND.
Stockholders Receive First Payment in
the New Year.

Yesterday the Hecla Mining COM
pany paid its first dividend of the new
wear. It was dividend No. 139 of l cent
per share, amounting to $4,000. This
brings the total dividends paid by the
Hecla up to $3,20O,O0O, Last fall the
monthly disbursement was reduced
! from 9 cents to l cent per share on
account of the low price of lead and
the curtailment of the output OF the
mine. These conditions still prevail
land there is no immediate prospect OF
increasing the dividends. The mine IS
working only five days week There
Is more ore in sight in the Hecla than
ever before in its history its milling
capacity has been increased, and when
normal conditions in the lead market
are restored it will probably establish
a new record in output and dividends

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Iron King Mining COM
pany was held in this city last Mon
day, when the following directors
were elected H. J. Rossi, Abe Wyman,
f. B. Reitzel, Otto A. OLSON and A. P.

and A. P. Reinhardt, manager An as
sessment of 1 mill was levied, notice
of which appears in another column
and a contract was awarded to A. p
Reinhardt to drift 100 feet, There are
two well defined veins on the Iron
King, both of which have been eXplor-
ed to a considerable extent at depth
by tunnel with most encouraging re-
suits. Their courses indicate that
they will come together and 1t Is ex-
pected that the point where they unite
will be reached by the completion OF

Seven Feet of Ore.

As near as can be learned there ap-
pears to be two distinct ore bodies, one
of lead and the other of zine. The work
on the Ferrible- Edith heretofore has
for the most part been on the lead or
galena ore, and it was on this that the
raise was started. However, upon TAX

naturally sought the zinc ore, owing
to the low price of lead and the strong
market for zinc According to inform

HEMLOCK LOOKS GOOD
FIVE FEET MILLING ORE
MAY SINK SHAFT 200 FEET DEEP
ER-REQUIRE HEAVIER
MACHINERY.

Five feet of good milling ore in the
Hemlock is the news that comes fom
Saltese, Mont, this week, The Hem
lock is situated a short distance up
Packer creek and the stock of the
company is almost all held in Saltese
The main development is through a
shaft $50 feet deep, but before this
was sunk the vein had been quite eH
tensively explored by tunnel. This re-
suited in exposing shoot of very good
galena ore of milling grade, and it was
to gain depth on this that the shaft
was started, it being impractical t.
gain much more depth by tunnel. The
drift from the bottom of the shaft has
now been extended about 400 feet and
has a depth of probably 900 feet
under the tunnel in which the best ore
was found. 1t is said that there is now
five feet of good milling ore in the face
and has been for a distance of 40 feet.
A sample of this ore may be seen a.
Fables hotel.
Heavy Machinery Required.
The showing in the drift has proved
so satisfactory that the management
now plans to sink an additional 200
feet. This makes necessary the pur-
chase of heavier machinery, and it Is
understood negotiations are now in
progress with that in view. The pro-
perty Is conveniently located for trans
portation, and its development into .
mine and its successful operation will
contribute much to the prosperity OF
the progressive little city of Satese
whose enterprising citizens have I'm
anced the enterprise from the start.

To Extend Drift in Lower Tunnel.

A meeting of the directors Of the
Square Deal company was held in
Coeur d'Alene last week, when it was
decided to extend the drift in the low
er level 100 feet, which should bring
it under the shoot of carbonate and
crystallized lead ore in the upper tun-
mel. 1t is believed that with the addt-
tional depth fAly ESQ feet on the dip
of the vein, this contemplated WORK
will show a good shoot of commercial
ore. Certainly the work already ac-
Icomplished fully justifies the beliei
that the Square Deal has great body
of ore, and that the exploration of the
vein on the lower level will demon
strate it beyond question. The forma'
tion is Burke quartzite and the grea
vein or zone has lead values uniform
ly distributed throughout.

Ore in Upper Tunnel.

The showing in this short drift is
about 80 feet east Of the best showing
in the upper level and about 250 feet
below it. In the upper tunnel drift
was run east along the south SIDE Of
the vein for distance of about rs feet
and for practically the entire distance
there was a continuous shoot Of crys-
tallized lead. Near the end of this
drift there was quite a large bunch of
carbonate ore which assayed 60 per
cent lead and 80 ounces silver. From
this point the vein was crosscut and
was found to be about 100 feet in
width and interspersed with crystalliz-
ed lead practically the same as has
been found in the lower tunnel.
/ At the point where the vein was en-
countered in the upper tunnel dia-
base dixie cuts across the vein appar.
emily in a northeast and southwest di-
rection The main tunnel was eX-
tended across this dixie showing it t
be about 80 feet wide at that point. a

direction following the south side OF
the dixie showing much crystallizeo

CARBONATE AND GALENA
At THE SQUARE DEAL
A PROPERTY OF GREAT PROMISE
ON TRoWBRlDGE GULcH,
NEAR WALLACE.

Work was suspended ON the Square
Deal properly a few weeks ago when
the contractors encountered ore in
short drift run vest on the vein. That
was the falillment Of the terms of the
agreement under which they drove the
crosScut almost 100 feet, taking their
pay in stock of the company, and the
showing where they left off is such
that they were apparently well pleas
ed with their bargain. The vein was
cut at a distance of $50 feet and was
extended about 65 feet through the
vein or what appears more like a
great mineralized zone. The face of
the crosscut is still in the vein, and
from the fact that in the upper tunnel
the vein is fully 100 feet wide, it is as
sumed that probably 35 or 40 feet re-
mains to be run to reach the north
or foot wall More or less crystalliz-
ed lead was found the entire width of
the vein, a condition very similar to
that found above. In order to pros
pect the vein work was suspended in
the face and drift started west abou
50 feet back near the hanging wall.
Find Carbonate and Galena Ore,
The drift had hardly been started
when it broke into a streak of car
Donate ore running obliquely across
the vein and which is fully 20 inches
wide at the bottom and narroWs to a
few inches near the top 1t has the
appearance Of carrying good values in
lead and probably considerable silver
A few feet further, probably five or six
feet a streak of dark blue quartzite
appeared in the bottom of the drift ano
on the south side. and through this is
literally distributed particles of ga
lena. The drift was run altogethel
about IA feet, when work was suspend
ed under the terms of the contrac
as above stated.

The splendid showing that has been
made at the Castle Rock has created
a desire among many shareholders To
expedite the development OF the prop
erty, particularly the work in the
shaft. one shift in the shift makes
slow progress, and 1t is now propose5
to increase the bmonthly assessment
with the view to working two ana
probably three shifts in the shaft l.
Is estimated that three shifts would
put the shaft down 125 feet in TWO
months, making q total depth Of prac-
tically 200 feet from which point eX-
| ploration of the vein should in sfea'
measure determine the permdnence
and value of the ore bouy. A special
meeting of the Idaho Nevada ExpI "
alton company, which owns the Casl'@
Rock, has been called for February
when the question of increasing the
assessment will be considered ana
acted upon. 1t is the opinion or many
who are familiar with the ore that
with this shaft down 200 feet, 1t VIII
be possible to make ore shipments pay
for development, and that increasing
the assessment now would be only
temporary move preliminary to elm
mating assessments altogether There
should be a large representation or
stockholders at the meeting.
Experienced Shaft Man on the Job.
On or about February 10 Mr.. Lively
states that Richard Adams, shift boss

LEY COUNTY.
Because of the widespread interest
in, and diversity of opinion as to the
recent Interpretation of the Sunday
Closing Law Senate Bill GO, l have
thought i we'll to send out a general
letter upon the subject.
Senate Bill 62 was intended to re-
late to, and regulate the closing Of
saloons on every day in the week,
By it's terms, saloons in incorporated
cities, and within n mile of cities Of
the first class are permitted to remain
open until IL o'clock midnight. In all
other places they are required to close
at 10 p. m. Eight a. m. is the time
for opening On all days except Sum-
day.
Senate Bill 60 relates only to Sum-
day closing. BY it's terms saloons
must close in all places in Montana,
incorporated and unincorporated, at
ten o'clock on Saturday nights, and
remain closed until one o'clock p. m.
of the Sunday following, except in cit
les of the first class, and within one
mile of the limits thereof, in which
places they may remain open until IL
p. m. on Saturday nights.
Inasmuch as Senate Bill sc was the
later act, being approved some two
days later, it takes precedence over
Senate Bill 62, in the matters covered
by it; to-wit, Sunday closing.
Yours very truly,
