Management Reports Steady Improve
nent in the Drift.
Drifting east on the Old Veteran
progresses steadily, 130 feet having
been run up to yesterday. The drift
follows the foot wall and the vein
fills the face of the tunnel and how
much wider is not known. Manager
Farrell reports three stringcrs of
quartz along with much favorable
lodge matter. A new feature has re-
Gently made its appearance which is
described as a black sulphide which is
believed to carry high values in sill
yer. No assays have been made, how
ever, until it is determined whether 1t
remains permanently with the vein,
1t is probable that 300 feet addition
al may have to be run to get under
the big showing of carbonate ore in
tunnel No. 2, but the distance may be
considerably shorter as the shoot ap-
pears to have a strong rake to the
west. During the last few days 400
feet of air pipe and 500 feet of rails
have been delivered fer use during the
winter, and also a large supply of min
ing timbers are on the dump.

1t is a matter of regret that James
f. Mccarthy finds it impossible to ac-
cept the chairmanship of the repupli-
can county committee. Pressure of
private business and the probability
that ne would be absent for several
weeks before the election, are the rea-
sons that prompted him to decline.
The committee will hold a meeting
soon and select another chairman and
also fill vacancies in the various pre-
cincts which failed to elect commit
teemen in the primary. A thorough
and efficient organization will be eff
fected, and if Shoshone county is not
lined up in the republican column af-
tel November it will not be the fault
of the committee. Other officers oi
the committee are Harry A. Rogers
secretary and William Fishingel
treasurer

PINE CREEK PROPERTY
OF GREAT PROMISE
INTERNATIONAL COMPANY WILL
INSTALL COMPRESSOR
HAS TWO VEINS.

Fred c. May who for several years
mas been deVoting his energies to the
development of the group of claims
owned by the International Mining
company, on the west fork of Pine
creek, was in the city yesterday. He
was accompanied by DR.. w. f. Rob-
ertson, of the First National bank,
Rolette, North Dakota, and j. c. Mean
drews, of Edmonton, Alberta, who are
interested in the International and
who had just returned from an in
spection of the property. They ex-
pressed themselves as well satisfied
with the showing and the work ac-
complished by Mr.. May, and arrange
ments were completed for the con-
tinuous development of the property.
Other owners of the International in
addition to these mentioned are

The work accomplished on the In

prosecuting and drifting, the latter
being about 600 feet on the vein.
There are two we'll defined veins on
the property, the course of one being
easterly and westerly and the other
being northerly and southerly The
present work is on the first named
and the purpose is to follow it to its
intersection with the second, which
from the surface showing appears to
be much the stronger of the two
However, the first vein is showing VI
in a most gratifying manner Fol

ously in varying quantity and in
about equal parts of lead and zinc
The ore shows improvement as the
drift is extended and Mr. May is con.
fident that it will merge into a com.
mercial ore body before intersectins
the second vein.
To Get Under Big Outcrop.
But the objective point is under tht
big outcrop which is the junction o1
the two veins. This will require ex.

All indications point to exposing 8

complished and possibly before. II
order to expedite the work the com
pany has ordered a compressor which
will be driven by gasoline. A con-
crete foundation for the compressor Is
now in readiness and the plant is eX-
pected to arrive any day. The In

ELECTRIC POWER SOON
At THE IDAHO. NEVADA
SHOULD BE CONNECTED THIS
WEEk-WILL SHIP A CAR
LOAD OF ORE.

= After much delay all indications
now point to having electric power
connection at the Idaho-Nevada by
the end of the week. Much work Is
going on at the property getting 1t IN
shape to resume operations in the
shaft just as soon as the power is a@-
cessible. A new hoist Will be In
stalled and in order to make 1t safer
and more efficient the station Is being
enlarged and a new gallows frame VIII
be put in which will be or 10 feet
higher than the present. The work OF
enlarging the station is now going on
and will probably be completed by
the time the hoist arrives. 1t Is prob
able that the company will put in an
electric pump before long. The pres
ent pump is run by compressed air
but when work is resumed In the smart
1t is not believed the capacity of the
compressor will be sufficient for the
machine drills, hoist and pump.
Will Ship Car Of Ore.
It will be recalled that soon afteI
taking over the property the Idaho
Nevada company shipped small cal
OF ore which yielded net return OF
about 5000. This ore was mostly tax
en- from a shoot adjacent to the hois'
station. Ore is now being taken from
the same place and is also being stop

a carload will be ready for shipment

HECLA MINING COMPANY HAS 100000
TO ITS CREDIT IN NINE MONTHS Of 1916
HAS PAID A DIVIDEND EVERY MONTH YEARs-THE
TOTAL DISBURSEMENT PASSES $5,oooooo-MANAeeRs
REPORT MONTHS.

Yesterday the Hecla Mining COM
pany paid dividend No. 100 of Is cents
per share, amounting to $150000. This
makes $1,100,0O0 the company has paid
during the nine months of this year
and brings the total dividends paid by
the company up to $4,S55,000. The
number of this dividend, 100, means
that for 100 months without break
the Hecla company has made dis
bursement to it's stockholders, thirteen
years and four months. OF course,
the dividends were not always as gem
erous as they have been this year. For
a good many years the regular pay
ment was cents per share, with oc-
year, and at times when the price of
lead was exceptionally low the divi-
dend has been only cent per share,
but during that long period no month
has passed without a dividend. The
outlook for lead is regarded good and
the company is now preparing to in
crease it's milling facilities, enlarge its
ore bins and put in a sorting plant of
increased capacity with the view to
enlarging the output of the mine and
economy in operation.
Report for Six Months.
Accompanying the dividend checks

Former Candy Man Honored

John Bowe former Mayor of Candy,
has been decorated with the war cross
for bravery by the French govern
ment. At the outbreak of the war
Mr.. Bowe, then mayor, joined the
allies, and his bravery has on several
occasions been mentioned in the war
dispatches. The Chicago Daily News
tells of the honor accorded to Mime
sofas soldier. The article in one in
stance is incorrect, for it says that
Bowe was formerly a Minneapolis
business man. 1t is as follows:
Paris, France, Dec. 11.-John
Bowe former Minneapolis commits
sion merchant, who came to France
early in the war and volunteered as a
soldier IN the foreign legion, has been
decorated with the war cross, with
the following citation:
"Bowe, an American citizen, VOL
UNFAIRLY active in the army, is the
presonification of the most absolute
devotion on the front. Since May
20. 1915, he has always volunteered
for dangerous missions and the most
perilous posts.'
AS soldier of the 18th Minnesota
volunteer infantry regiment Bowe
was present at the capture of Manila
in 1898. A congressional medal was
awarded him by the United State wal
department on the re commentator OF
President Mckinley.
When Germany invaded France,
Bowe then 40 years old, was mayor Of
his native town of Candy, MINI. He
was one of the five directors of the
Minnesota branch of American MUM
