Twelve Men Employed.

The ore that is now being shipped is
taken from the tunnel which is being
extended with most satisfactory re-
suits The ore shoot is neither large
nor regular, but is continuous. Silver
and copper are the chief values, al
though little galena occasionally ap-
pears. A shaft was sunk from the
tunnel level to depth of over 100 feet
years ago, from which more or less
drifting was done, but the present
company is for the present confining
its work to the tunnel, which has at
tanned a depth from the surface Of
about 500 feet. Twelve men are en-
ployed by the company and the prop
erty is equipped with compressor
driven by electric power, new and all
necessary buildings and everything
that goes to make up a modern min
ing plant.
Crosscut to Southern Cross Vein.
Parallel to the Polaris and about 450
feet north of it Is the Southern Cross
vein. Nothing has been done toward
the development of this vein beyond
sinking small shaft to prospect it
near the surface. 1t appears to be of
! the same general character of the Po-
laris. Since taking over the property
the present company has started
crosscut from the Polaris tunnel to
cut the Southern Cross vein, and 1t
will probably be reached by the first
of the year.
Plans for the further development
of the Polaris group include driving a
tunnel from Polaris gulch which will
give about 500 feet additional depth
through q tunnel estimated at $500
feet in length.
Dissolve Old Company.
1t was rather a singular coincidence
that on the day the returns were re-
ceived for the first shipment of Po
laris ore by the new company, a
meeting of the directors of the old
company was held when final steps
were taken to dissolve the corpora
ton. While no official information
was obtained on the subject, it is un
derstood that the Polaris Develop
ment & Mining company took over
the property under bond running for
five years. After getting started to
work a few months ago a proposition
was made to the Polaris Mining COM
pany, which owned the mine, to pur-
chase the property outright upon the
payment of a sum little less than
| that named in the bond The PROPOSE
ton was accepted and the payment
made. which led to the meet
ing of the directors of the old
company yesterday. when the cash
was distributed to the stockholders
and resolution to formally dissolve
the company was adopted. The prin-
cipal stockholders in the old Polaris
company were Mrs, w. b. Hepburn,
widow of the late senator; William
Hepburn, of Louisville, Ky; f. M.
Gilpin, of St Joseph, Mo-; w. Fl.
Batting, of Coeur dAlene. Mrs. Hey
burn owned about two thirds of the
stock.

SQUARE DEAL.
Extension of the Crosscut Continues
to Show Improvement.

Extension of the Crosscut Continues
to Show Improvement.
Samples brought down from the.
Square Deal within the last few days
show an increased amount of lead,
which gives substantial encourage
ment for further development. The
formation is deep blue quartzite al
most the color of lead, and consider
able galena Is distributed through it.
An assay of a, picked sample returned
12 per cent lead. The present work is
being done under contract which Is
now about completed. The showing
is the best that has ever been made
on the property, and there is every
encouragement to continue the work.
The control of the property is held in
Coeur d'Alene and Walla Walla, and
| IL the wishes of the Wallace stock
holders are considered arrangements
Twill be made to continue the work.

Dividends aggregating over MIL
lion and half dollars have been or
will be paid by Coeur d'Alene mining
companies during the month of De-
cember. Some of these are monthly
disbursements and others quarterly,
and all will be received by the FORUM
ate stockholders during the closing
month of 1916. The amount actually
distributed is unquestionably consid-
erably more than the sum named, but
the dividends officially announced and
estimating the Hercules at $25O,OOo,
bring the total to practically million
and a half This does not include the
Hunter which Is believed to be pay
ing regular and liberal dividends,
Caledonia.
Dividend payments started on De-
.cember 3, when the Caledonia paid the
regular 8 cents per share, amounting
to $7S,150 This brings the total PAID
by that company in 1916 up to $9ll,-
$50 and the grand total paid by the
mine $1,SO3,541.
Bunker Hill & Sullivan.
On December the Bunker Hill q
sullivan Mining 81 Concentrating
company paid SO cents per share, be-
ing double the usual monthly pay
ment, which amounted to $16S,5OO'
Several extra dividends of 25 cents per
share have been paid by the company
during the year, the total payments
for 1916 being $1,726,75o. This great
mine now has to it's credit dividend
payments aggregating the grand total
of $1S,4S9,750.

DRIVE LOWER TUNNEL
ON CARBONATE HILL
SURVEYS MADE LAST WEEK BY
.ENelNEER- COMPRESSOR
AND ELEcTRls POWER.

Announcement was made several
Weeks ago by Andrew Hedin, manager
of the Carbonate Hill Mining COM
pany, upon visiting the property that
the company had under consideration
tunnel that would open the ground
several hundred feet below the pres
ent workings with the view to plac-
ing the property on productive pa
sis. Following this announcement II
is now learned that George R. Trask,
mining engineer of this city, was busy
last week making surveys and lay
ing out work for the contemplated
tunnel, which will start at the rail-
road to tap at greater depth the eX-
tensive ore bodies disclosed in the up
per tunnel. This new tunnel will be
about 1900 feet long and will give a
vertical depth at the ore body Of $50

ings of 275 feet.
Fine Showing of Ore.
The showing of ore in the Carbon
ate Hill is said to rank with the best
in the district among properties at a
similar stage of development. There
is a large body of leadzinc ore of
milling grade and there are also con-
tinuous streaks of shipping ore In
fact, considerable of the last named
has been sorted for shipment. Judged
by the fine showing now exposed,
when the new tunnel reaches the ore
the Carbonate Hill should soon take
it's place among the producing mines
of the district. Plans for the more
extensive development include the
of a new compressor
driven by electric power and all ne
cessary equipment for effective and
economical operation. The property
is located above Mullan, on Willow
creek and convenient to the railroad

the year $2,7S9,940. 1t has been less
than two years since the Interstate
Callahan entered the dividend class
and in that brief period the company
has paid $5,347,3S5. President John A,
Percival is quoted as stating that the
profits of the company during the
months of October and November
amounted to $1,000000.

HECLA COMPANY LEASES
MARSH MILL, NINE MILE
HAS COMBINED MILLING CA
PAclTY OF ALMOST 1000
ToNs-SoUTH VEIN.

The Heca Mining company has TAX
en- lease on the Marsh mill, on Nine
Mile, about 21a miles from this city,
and men are now engaged getting it
in shape for the reception of ore. Very
little time will be required for this, as
the Marsh company had completely
overhauled and remodelled it only a
short time before it suspended opera
tions, and it is said that the equip
ment is well adapted to Hecla ore. The
about $50 tons. In the meantime the
work on the addition to the Hecla mill
at Gem is nearing completion, and an
nouncement was made some time age
that it would be ready for operation
by the 18TH of this month, when the
lease expires on the Federal mill. The
enlarged Hecla mill will have a ca
pacity of $50 or 700 tons, giving the
company with the Marsh mill a COM
bined milling capacity of between 900
and 1000 tons.
New South Vein.
| Development of the new south vein
of the Hecla mine, to which reference
was made in these columns few
weeks ago, is now in progress with
most gratifying results, The vein was
first encountered in crosscut from
the 300 level Since then another
crosscut has been run from the 900
level, which showed an increased
amount of ore Drifting is now in
progress and late information from
! the mine states that there are 7 or 8
feet of ore in the face. An interest
ing feature Of the south vein is that
| it carries considerable zinc. This is
believed to be the arst time that zinc
has appeared in the Hecla beyond a
mere trace.
| Hecla now has three great parallel
veins, each one having large proved
ore bodies, either one of which would
rank as a great mine. With these vast
! ore reserves, enlarged milling facili-
| ties and lead and silver at record
prices, the mine seems to be about to
enter upon an unprecedented career
of profit earning. The report persists
and is quite generally accepted that
the dividend rate will be increased to
20 cents per month beginning with
January.

New Mill Now Reported Running
With Satisfactory Results.
The first shipment of concentrate
from the new flotation mill of the Sill
verado Mining company, was loaded
on the car at Osburn last week The
ore run through the mill was from the
Nellie, situated above the Silverado
and 1t is stated that very high per-
centage of recovery was obtained. The
run seems to have proved beyond
question that the mill is well adapted
to the ores to be treated and that 1t Is
an unqualified success. The mill is
now running on ore from the Silver
ado mine, which has large amount
blocked out above the main tunnel and
which has also been proven to depth
of over 100 feet in shaft sunk from
the tunnel level.

1t was enormously stated in the last

RICH ORE FROM POLAR|S
RETURNS FROM SHELTER
TO SHIP 3 OR 4 CARS PER MONTH
-oLD COMPANY is
DISSOLVED.

The first carload of ore shipped by
the Polaris Development & Mining
company gave a net return of $500
lacking few dollars. A check for
the amount was received from the
smelter yesterday. The ore was hand
sorted after which the smaller stuff
was hand jigged. The ore that was
hand sorted averaged 140 ounces in
silver and fraction over 5 per cent
copper. That which was jigged was
of considerably lower grade. In Civ
ing the details of the shipment, p. j.
Gearon, president of the company,
stated that the company expected to
be able to ship three or four carloads
of such or per month. Thus another
of the old locations of the district has
entered the productive stage and will
doubtless fulfill the most enthusiastic
predictions~o mineral wealth stoutly
maintained by the grand old pioneer
and statesman who staked 1t with his
own hands and owned 1t up to the
time of his death.

ONCE upon a time a six-year-old boy, who, after a hard fight was res cued from drowning, was asked how he managed to keep anoat, so long. His simple reply was: "I just kept my mouth shut and worked my hands," It would be a good plan for the citizens to Valdez to emulate that boy. Let's forget the past rancor, and ill-feeling, and our efforts to injure each other, and buckle down to work for the old town. We have the site for wonderful city here, if we can forget our animosities and develop our latent resources.

SOME people took the Prospector's headlines stating that Sulzer and Will son were elected with a great deal of ill-feeling. We have endeavored to give the news from the different To- calities without prejudice, and if the people did not believe our report we could not help it. The Prospector spent a great many dollars upon feel ing the public pulse in different local ities for weeks before the election, and had the situation we'll sized up. The trouble with the voters was that they did not wish to believe that our news was reliable. At this late hour we can state that our dispatches were absolutely uncolored; and recent de- velopments bear out their authen- ticity.

THE NEXT STEP.

Unless you are at the very top, there is always a job just little bit better than your own. How much thought do you give to that job?
 Suppose it. fell vacant suddenly? It makes no difference how firmly in- trenched its holder may seem to be. He may be forced to get out any day. Tomorrow, next week, next month.
 He may be promoted or fired, or he may moveto something better.
 Could you fill his shoes? Do you know the detail and the routine of his work as we'll as you know your own? Would they" the powers that control your destiny, naturally turn to you and decide that you ought to have a chance to show what you can do with the job? Or would they feel that the only safe course was to go outside the organization for a man? |? Or-are you in danger of having the man below you jumped over your head because he knows the next job and you don't?
 You won't get very far in any sort of work if you think only of your own days work. No matter how well you may fill your own place you will not advance if that is all you do.
 Some men think too much about the job ahead. They are always think. ing, scheming, devising ways and means to crowd the fellow ahead of them out of their way. And some times they wake up too late and ind tEs nan behind has stepped into their shoes.
 But there is happy medium. The man who is at the top feels better if he knows that all through his organ ization capable understudies are per- fecting themselves. And he knows it, if he is on the job himself. He knows if you are taking an intelligent, practical interest in the work of the man just above you. 1as,,% 1s
 Sometimes, when your own work is slack and the fellow next above you is busy. lend him a hand. If you do it in the right spirit he will be grate- full and he'll repay you by giving you an insight into his work. And be ready to lend hand to the man be- hind you. too.
 A good many men miss promotion because there is . feeling that no one can do their work. Give some of your spare time to training the man below in your job, 90 that they, will know, if the chance comes, that they can move up without hurting the efaeien- cy of the, organization.

tion you are a part of is worth be- longing to at all.
 Promotion is very seldom a matter Of luck. It comes to the man who has earned it. A good deal of sympathy is wasted on men who get into a rut, and stay in it, working on the same job, year after year, until they are old and worn out. A man who does that can usually lay the blame upon himself, if he gets down to cases.
