Interstate Callahan Declares Dividend
of $3.50 Per Share---Pays Nearly
Million and a Half in Six Months

Concentrates produced-Lead con-

1889 OF. Ag. 5O,40 per cent Pb.
Concentrates produced-Zinc con-
eentrates-12,972 tons; contents per
ton, 1912 zinc.
Mill recovery of zinc values in zinc
concentrates, $500 per cent.
Ratio milling ore to total concen-
trates, 1.91 to /.
Mining cost per ton of ore mined,
$44S.
Milling cost per ton of ore milled,
$146.
Loading and shipping cost per ton
of product shipped, $0.533.
Total cost per ton of ore mined,
$7O6.
Tonnage Of ore mined for quarter
was 29,S97 tons, being 114S tons great
er than for the preceding quarter.
From this production there was re-
covered 1872 tons of crude shipping
ore and concentrates. You will also
notice that the mill recovery from the
zinc values has been increased from
so per cent in the previous quarter to
SO per cent in the present quarter.
"The per ton cost of mining and
milling is greater than for the previous
quarter, due to higher wage scales and
to the increased cost of powder and
other mining supplies.
"The surplus earned for the quarter
was $S12,7S2.76 as against $721,74S.S5
for the previous quarter. During the
quarter one dividend of $3.50 per share
was paid, making a total disbursement
for the quarter of $697,4S5.OO. This,
with prior dividends paid amounts to
$500 per share on the outstanding
stock of the company, or a total divi-
disbursement of $3,254,930.O0 for the
year ending April l, 1916.
1--WE are gratified to state that the
litigation in which the company has
been involved during the past year in
the state of Idaho has been settled
favorably to the company's interests,
so that there is now nothing in the
way to prevent the early listing of the
stock of the company upon the east
ern exchanges"

a common interest in this matter, and
the board of trade should present the
situation to officials of the company
and induce them to look into the feas-
ibility of extending its line to Bea-
Yer. The distance from the company's
track on the west fork of Nine Mile to
the Jefferson mill by a practical
route is not to exceed five miles This
would of course involve tunnel prob
ably half mile long, but it is belieV-
ed the business to be developed would
amply justify the expenditure. 1t is
matter of such great Importance to
Wallace that the people of this city
could we'll afford to pay the company
a liberal bonus to assist in building the
road. The O.-W. r. & n. is now con-
sidering building from the North Fork
up Beaver, and naturally the railroad
that gets into the district first viii
have secured traffic advantages which
will be discouraging to a competitor
entering the field Therefore if any
thing is to be done by this city, 1t
should be done quickly. The business
is there for both this city and the
Northern Pacific, but we must go af-
ter it; it will not come to us.

MAMMOTH MINING Co.
TO BEGIN OPERATIONS
PLAN CROSSCUT THAT WILL EX-
PLORE THE VEIN AT
DEPTH.

The Mammoth mine, near Bonita,
Mont, a small station east of Mis-
soula, is soon to be the scene of ac-
tive development, according to a state
ment made by George Austin, manager
Of the property, who recently visited
it accompanied by Jesse Freeman, of
this city, a stockholder in the COM
pany. The control of the property
was acquired about year ago by a
group of Wallace business men, and
financial arrangements have now been
completed which will insure its devel-
opment. The ground was originally
owned by Missoula people, who still
retain an interest, and who with the
very limited. amount of work shipped
three or four carloads of ore. The ore
is lead, in a lime formation, and it's
characteristics are entirely different
from those of the lead ores of the
Coeur ,d'Alene district.
Looks Good to Freeman.
Upon his return from the Mammoth
Mr.. Freeman who is a practical miner
of long and varied experience, ex-
pressed a most favorable opinion of
the property. The work on the Nam
moth up to date has been confined to
open cuts tracing out the ledge and
two shafts 20 and so feet deep. These
shafts are sunk on an ore shoot that
is about four feet wide and it was
from these that the ore shipments
were made A crosscut has been start
ed to cut the vein about rs feet below
the 50-foot shaft, and the extension of
this chosscut to the vein is the work
that will now be undertaken. 1t is es-
timated that about 200 feet will have
to be run. When this is accomplished
and the showing is satisfactory it is
the purpose of the management to
drive another crosscut near the bot
tom of the hill which will be about
1000 feet long and will cut the vein at
a probable depth of 500 feet In the
meantime it is expected that the first
crosscut will enable the company to
make shipments that will materially
assist in meeting the expense of de-
velopment. 1t is expected that work
will begin on the property within the
next few days.

IDAHO NEVADA.
Necessary to Install Pump to Handle
the Water.

Necessary to Install Pump to Handle
the Water.
The increased flow of water has
rendered it necessary to install a
pump TO supplement the siphon in
unwatering the Idaho-Nevada (Castle
Rock) shaft The pumps owned by
the company are submerged in the
shaft and another has been secured
for temporary use, or until it is pos
sible to utilize the regular pumps. The
company has entered into an agree
ment with the Washington Water
Power company to extend its electric
power lines to the property, which
will probably be done before the first
of July, and until that time the com
pany's water power will be ample for
all requirements An electric motor
of 100 horsepower has been secured
which will be delivered subject to the
order of the company. The motor has
been used, but is practically as good
as new. The company is fortunate in
securing it, as it is impossible to Sc
cure one within a reasonable time
from the factory.

Tiger mill to explore the Hidden
Treasure ground, which joins the
Union on the east The Union COM
pany holds a perpetual right to the
use of this tunnel, and the Union
leasers will extend it into their
ground. 1t is estimated that it will
have to be extended about 1000 feet
to get under the prospect shaft and
will attain a depth of 1900 feet. Pre-
paration will be made at once to be-
gin work in this tunnel.
The owners of the Union lease and
bond are Axel Swan, his son, Delner
Swan, and Charles Anderson, of
Burke, and Harry Allen and Charles
McKinnis, of Wallace. 1t is under
stood that the lease has been financed
by Mr.. McKinnis and that he has ac-
quired an additional interest by pur-
chase since the strike was made.

CONSTITUTION MILL TO
Be BUILT THIS SUMMER
SAWMILL TO BE INSTALLED AT
oNCE-BIG SHOWING OF
ORE IN SHAFT.

The Constitution is to have a mill
this summer of from 100 to $50 tons
daily capacity, built with the view to
adding to it when the conditions rem
der it necessary This is the inform
alton that was received from Pine
creek yesterday. The first step in
carrying out the purpose to build a
mill will be the installation of a saw
MILL which will be done within the
next few weeks. The Constitution
company has large amount of saw
timber on its ground. Lumber will be
first turned out for necessary buildings
to accommodate the increased force
that will soon be employed, and then
lumber and dimension timber will be
sawed for the mill The sawmill will
also be utilized for saving and franz
ing mining timbers.
Much Ore Being Developed.
The shaft on the Constitution is now
down 200 feet, from the bottom of
which drift has been run 40 feet. The
ore showing is good, but more scat
tering than at the 100 level, and there
is said to be more lead coming in.
This is also true of the f;.ce of the
main tunnel, which for over 600 feet
shows shoot of ore almost eXclu-
sively zinc At the 100 level drifts
have been run about so feet both east
and west. Where the ledge was cross
cut in the shaft there is about eight
feet of shipping zinc ore and this con-
tinues the length Of the west drift. In
the east drift the shipping ore extends
about 80 feet, and from that point the
ore is of good milling grade. Little
ore is being moved from the mine to
the railroad on account of the bad
condition of the road.

PINE CREEK WAGON ROAD.
Its Bad Condition Seriously lnterferes
With Ore Shipments.

The talk of a railroad up Pine creek
las evidently given the county com
missioners the notion that further
work on the wagon road is unneces
sary. At fny rate the road remains
in wretehed condition, and the ,rk
of repairing it devolves upon the work
of one man. 1t is no reflection
upon him to say that he is unequal to
the task. Four and six horses are
able to get over the road with only
two or three tons of ore when with
a decent road from four to five tons
can be handled without difficulty This
Pine creek road is fair sample of
the boasted economy in administra-
tion of the county commissioners. Let
us have less economy and better
roads.

SPOKANE TUNNEL COMPANY.
Arranging to Put in Compressor and
Electric Power.

Another company will soon be on
the active list on Placer creek. The
Spokane Tunnel company, which has
ground adjoining the Castle Rock on
the east. will soon install a COM
pressor and continue the tunnel which
has been started to cut the Castle
Rock vein a short distance above the
latter property, Only a short dis
tance remains to be run, in fact there
Is evidence that the crosscut is now
entering the vein. The compressor
will be run by electric power The
officers of the company are A. C. Blue,
president; c. c. Richie, secretary and
treasurer; Alex Livingston, w. B,
Lively and John l, Johnson. The same
great outcrop that characterizes the
Castle Rock ledge is also conspicuous
on the ground of the Spokane Tunnel
company, and 1t is likely that the
same ore shoot will be encountered.

COPPER KING CONTRACT.
Two Hundred Feet Awarded to Well
Known MuIlan Miners.

Known Mullan Miners.
Thomas Sullivan and william Mills
Of Mullan, have been awarded the
contract to. drive 200 feet on the Cop
per King vein. This will be an ex-
tension of the drift that has already
been run 500 feet west from the main
crosscut. The contractors began the
work yesterday. The company has a
compressor and is in all respects well
equipped for development. The sup
ervision of the property is in charge
of r. c. Vanderford, large owner
and man of many years successful
experience in Coeur d'Alene mines.
The vein where cut in the main cross
cut is said to be no thicker than a
mans hand, while in the drift where
the contract begins 1t is said to be As
feet wide with more or less lead dis
tributed through 1t. If the fault that
cut the ore out in the upper tunnel
extends to this level, it will probably
be reached If it holds its course In so
or rs feet The drift is 1000 feet be-
low the upper tunnel and it is re-
garded possible that the fault may be
local and disappear before this depth
is reached. The drift is following the
hanging wall, and it is stated by Mr..
Vanderford that the vein filling and
general characteristics are identical
with that which prevailed In the big
mines of Canyon creek with which he
is familiar. Arrangements contem-
plate not less than 1000 feet If ex-
ploration work on the Copper King.

THE lVANHoE.
Tunnel Will Be Extended to Cut the
North Vein.

North Vein.
In beginning work on the Ivanhoe
recently the first task undertaken was
to clean out the tunnel which had bad
ly caved in. This work is now report
ed completed and the extension Of the
crosscut to the north vein is pro-
badly in progress. There are two well
defined parallel veins on the Ivanhoe.
On the north vein a shaft has been
sunk, in the bottom of which there
are said to be a foot of practically
clean ore. To get under this is the
purpose of the present work, and much
confidence is felt that a body of COM
mercial ore will be found. The pro-
perty is bein developed from the Star
workings and power is furnished by
the Star compressor.
Control of the Ivanhoe was secured
by DR.. d. e. Keys, of Mullan, who
presumably represents strong financial
interests, but who they are has not
been divulged. He took over the treas
ury stock and enough individual
stock to give control the
agreement being to pay for the treas
ury stock first at stated periods and
then the individual stock. All pay
ments for the treasury stock have now
been made and individual stockholders
who gave up part of their holdings
received the first payment for their
stock this week. The remainder will
be paid in two additional payments,
the first in thirty days and the Sec
ond in sixty.

BUYING GRAY HORSES.
Army Accepts Light Colored Animals
for First Time Since Civil War.

Atchison, Kan, June 27.-The Unit
ed States government is buying gray
horses for cavalry and artillery use for
the first time since the Civil war. A
white horse doesn't make a hit with a
military authority because it is too
good target. Bay is the favorite
color.
But allied buyers have just about
cleaned out the available supply of
bay steeds and brown mules fit for
military use and the home government
is compelled to take what can be
bought
Two cars of horses for cavalry and
artillery have gone out of Atchison in
the last week for use in Mexico. And
they will be there in an extremely
short time. They were shipped from
Atchison to Kansas City by ]. G. Lutz.
a Kansas City horsebuyer, who has a
contract with the government. One car
was shipped last night, the other went
early in the week. A car holds 20
horses.
