BERLIN. May 10. The business Of
the Imperial Bank of Germany in
1915 was much larger than ever be
fore owing chiefly to large transac
tons for government account. The
turnover reached the stupendous tota
OF 1921 $50. 100000 which compares
with 1924, 1000. 100000 for 1914 and
800 900 100000 for 1913 In Other
words. the business of the bank has
considerably more than doubled since
the war began.
The earnings were also far in ex.
cess of all previous years. They
amounted TO $65 100000 or more than
twice those of 1914. According to a
law recently passed a special war tax
was laid upon the Imperial Bank, In
addition to the large proportion of the
earnings falling TO the treasury under
older laws Thus the treasury gets
i7,50o.00o Of the earnings. whereas
the stockholders get only s3.s40, 900 or
somewhat less than for 1914.

men as can be handled to advantage
will be worked clearing away the

lowest estimate places 80 days as the
time required to open the line for

ANT|MONY SHIPMENTS
FROM PINE CREEK MINES
STAR COMPANY MAKES FIRST
SHlPMENT-OLD ANTHONY
MINE READY TO SHIP.

Burke Mcintosh, manager Of the
Star Anthony Mining company which
is operating the Brown -Finnell prop
erty on Pine creek under bond, ship
ped the first carload last week, con-
sisting of 80 tons of ore that will av-
erage above so per cent antimony.
This ore was all either hand sorted or
jigged and was an exceptionally clean
product Since being taken under
bond the property has been developed
to a point that assures other ship
ments from the present tunnel, and
in the meantime another tunnel is be-
ing run which will probably show a
larger body of ore. The original own
ers of the Star are Theodore Brown
and John Finnell.
The Old Anthony.
The Occur d'Alene Antimony COM
pany, which is operating what is COM
monty referred to as the Old Anti
mony, near the mouth of Pine creek,
is adding flotation to its mill equip
ment and otherwise adapting the
mill to the treatment Of antimony ore.
Good results are being obtained and
the excellent showing of ore in the
mine insures steady production. Ore
at present is being taken from the
15O-foot level and it is stated that the
/ ore shoot here has been proved for SOC
feet and is uniformly high grade, much
of which is sacked in the mine for
shipment direct. 1t is proposed tc
start a new level at further depth Of
100 feet, which is expected to largely
increase the available ore reserves
