ripple upon the surface was created
when Councilman Knips presented
an ordinance to prohibit the main

optioned to Burke.

Sometime in February. 1912, dissat-
isfaction having arisen between Burke
and Tracy and the owners relative to
the extraction of ores, Tracy threw up
the option and thereupon there was
an understanding between the owners
and Burke that Burke should have an
other option for the same price be-
ginning as soon as Burke and Tracy
had forfeited their first payment, due
on June l, 1912. Burke and Tracy
having forfeited under this original
contract, on June I, 1912, the owners
gave Burke an option on the mining
claims individually for the sum of
$160,000, tenth of which, accord :
ing to the terms of the contract,
should be paid on December 8, 1912.
Burke having failed to make this pay
ment on December 8, 1912, an option
was given to John H. Wourms by the
owners of the mining claims for $780,
600, $4,000 of which was paid down
in cash.

Good Roads Association Unanimously
Advocates Lookout Pass Road

on the Montana side and meet the
shoshone county road on the summit
at Lookout. Mr.. Everett said he had
recently conferred with the forest SER
vice officials at Missoula in regard to
the Lookout road, and that they were
much interested and asked for further
data on the subject. but they stated,
and this is significant, that they would
contribute nothing toward the i'm
provement and maintenance of the
present road across the summit, stat
ing further that per cent is the grade
limit for roads having the assistance
of the forest service. Mr.. Everett
called attention to the fact that Look
out pass is $50 feet lower than the
present road on the summit and that
it Is free of snow two months or more
longer during the year,
Urge Commissioners to Act.
e. r. Denny followed Mr.. Everett.
He advocated building the Lookout
road as the only means of making the
national highway a success. without
II the large expenditure in construct
ing the Fourth of July canyon road
would fail in its purpose and would
be little more than a local highway.
Mr.. Denny offered a resolution to the
effect that 1t was the sense and desire
of the meeting that the commissioners
of Shoshone county should build the
Lookout road at the earliest possible
date, and that the action of the meet
ing on this subject be brought to the
attention of the commissioners. The
resolution was adopted unanimously.
Lookout Road Resolution Suppressed.
Although the Press Times was rep
resented at the meeting, and the paper
next day gave what was presumed to
be full account of the proceedings.
there was no reference whatever to
the action on the Lookout road. Why
was 1t suppressed? From the stand
point Of the people of this county and
the success of the national highway, it
is quite as important as the Fourth
of July canyon road. Why didn't the
Press Times carry out the expressed
desire of the meeting and call the mat
ter to the attention of the county
commissioners by publishing the
facts?

.HECLAPAYS s1,550,OOO
. may INCREASE DIVIDEND
ENLARGED MILL NOW RUNNING
IN GOOD SHAPE
MARSH MILL.

| The Hecla Mining company rounded
out it's dividend record for 1916 on De-
cember 20, when checks for the De-
lcember disbursement were mailed to
stockholders. The payment was Is
cents per share, the same that has
prevailed for several months, and
Amounting to $15O,00O, making the to-
tai payment for year $1,550,000, and
the grand total for the mine $5,305,O0
The report still persists that the
Hecla company will increase the div
idend rate to 20 cents beginning with
January, but no official information
has been given out on the subject. The
continued high prices of lead and sill
yer, the large ore reserves in the mine,
the enlarged milling capacity and the
large surplus said to be In the treas
ury Of the company, are all cited by
stockholders as basis for the expec-
tation of higher dividend rate after
the first Of the year.
Addition to Mill Completed.
The addition to the Hecla mill has
been completed and the enlarged plant
began running last Saturday. 1t is
reported that the new machinery is
running in fine shape and that the in
creased capacity of the mill will be
fully up to the expectations, which is
given at about 700 tons. The lease
held by the Hecla on the Federal mill
expired on the 18th and the next day
the company's own mill was ready to
handle the ore that had been going to
the leased mill. The Marsh mill,
which has been leased by the Hecla
company will soon be in shape to
handle $50 tons OF ore per day, bring
ing the total milling capacity of the
Hecla up to between 900 and 1000 tons.

The people of Shoshone county are
roads movement and cordially approve
of the work being done by the county
good roads association. The action OF
the meeting of good roads enthusiasts
last Monday evening was In line with
sentiment in this county which desires
to cooperate with Kootenai county in
securing state assistance for the COM
pletion of the Fourth of July canyon
road and for the improvement OF any
other north Idaho roads which may
properly seek state aid The broad
view on this subject taken by the peo-
pie of this county was faithfully re-
flected in the meeting Of the good
roads association when a motion was
unanimously carried urging the COM
missioners of this county to cooperate
with the commissioners of Mineral
county, Montana, in building a short
and much more desirable road by way
of Lookout pass. But this liberal and
progressive spirit is evidently not
shared by the only daily paper in the
county which poses as the Exponent
of the oeur d'Alenes."
Favors Lookout Pass Road. 3,
Having disposed of the Fourth of
July road, regulation of jitneys and
other matters, Chairman w. r. Miller
called the attention of the meeting to
the proposed change in the road
across the Idaho Montana divide by
way Of Lookout pass. "A chain is as
strong as its weakest link" said the
chairman. and pointed out that the
completion of the Fourth of July road
and the elimination of Niger Hill
would not make the Yellowstone Trail
a national highway unless q feasible
grade was secured by the adoption OF
the Lookout pass route. He asked for
an expression from the meeting and
called upon Wesley Everett, manager
of the Amazon Dixie mine.
Mr.. Everett pointed out that road
hardly two miles in length and on a
grade that would not exceed 1 per
cent is all that would be required of
Shoshone county to make the Lookout
pass road a reality. The commission
ers of Mineral county stand ready and
anxious to build eight miles of road
