DEVELOP UNION NINE
EXTEND OREANO TUNNEL
SWAN SECURES RIGHT-MAKlNG
PROPERTY ACCESSIBLE TO
THE WAGON ROAD.

A meeting of the directors of the
Oreano Mining company was held last
Monday evening to consider the prop
osition from Axel Swan, of Burke, to
extend No. 2 tunnel Of the Oreano in
to the Union ground, which Mr.. swan
has under lease and bond, and use the
same for a term of years in the oper-
alton of the Union mine. Since tax
ing the lease on the Union Mr. swan
has traced the vein on the Sherman
claim. which is the west claim OF the
groun for a distance of 900 feet, the
outcrop being pronounced one OF the
most favorable in that rich minerai
section. A shaft on the vein has eX-
nosed a fine showing of carbonate ore
carrying good values in lead and sll-
yer. an account of which was publish
ed in the last issue of The Miner Ihe
Union ioins the Oreano on the north
east, and the extension Of No. tun-
mel offers the quickest and cheapest
means of exploring the vein at deptn
II is estimated that the distance TO be
run is about 24O feet, 100 feet of which
will be in the Oreano ground, and the
depth which will be attained when the
vein is reached will be about 45o feee
The directors unanimously agreed TO
give Mr. Swan the privilege of extend
ing the tunnel, reserving, of course, ali
rights TO use it themselves. 1t Is os-
timated that it will require four or
five months to reach the vein and tor
the first year the lessee has the free
use of the tunnel, After one year Mr.
Swan will be required to pay 70 cents
per ton on all ore shipped through It.
Connect With Mammoth Road
It is confidently expected that ore OF
sbipping grade will be encountered
when the Union vein is reached and
the securing of this tunnel right opens
the way for the delivery of ore to the

NATIONAL SHIPMENTS

QUANTITY AND QUALITY
OF ORE is BETTER.

Reports from the National, although
not coming from official sources, but
which may be accepted as reliable
are of the most encouraging nature
Shipments of concentrates have netted
upwards of $50 per ton and the pres
ent high price Of copper and the in
creased price of silver insure better
smelter return, making 1t probably
considerably over 800 per ton. The
mill is still running only one shift, or
rather shift and quarter. the shift
having been extended from to 10
hours with overtime for the men.
Shipments will average better than
four cars per month and these could
easily be doubled with another shift,
which the management is understood
to be preparing to put on.
Mine in Excellent Condition.
About so men are employed in the
mine and mill. There is a large
amount of ore available, and the quail
ity of the ore is said to be better than
ever before, particularly on the 1900

crease with additional depth The re-
turns from recent shipments show a
silver value of about ounces to 2

cellent work, and it is said the recov-

THE HARMONY OF THE JACKSON DAY BANQUET IS NOT BORNE

If anyone is laboring under the i'm
preston that the large gathering of

of the democracy of Shoshone county

the memory of Jackson and giving
physical evidence of the peace and
unity that prevails in the ranks of the

Occur d'Alenes. If the shade of the
hero of New Orleans looked down on
that assemblage, he must have discov-
cred that the name given the event
was misnomer, that Jackson was
merely name with which to conjure,
and that Day, not democracy, was the

ceptiVe as the name. Naturally with

lude to the campaign that is now rap
idly approaching, but beneath the sur
face there is evidence Of dissention
and distrust that may wreck the plans

SUCCESS MINING CO.
MONTHLY DIVIDEND
DECEMBER NET EARNINGS $4,000
TWILL PAY EXTRA DiVI-
DEND EACH QUARTER.

The directors of the Success Mining
company met last evening and declar.
ed dividend payable on January 23
of cents per share, amounting to
$4,000 The net earnings of the mine
for the last month were double this
amount, being 100000, but the man
agement adopted a conservative pol
icy in the matter of disbursements. In
stead of paying the full amount OF
earnings, it was decided to fix 8 cents
per share as the regular monthly div
idend and at the end of each quarter
declare a special dividend from the
accumulated surplus earnings above
the regular monthly disbursement.
Output of Mine Normal.
The production of the Success for
the month of December was about
normal, although the exact figures
could not be- learned. There were nc
serious delays in operation and the
price of spelter maintained a high av-
erage The outlook for the present
month is not so favorable so far as
operations are concerned The cold
weather Of the last few days has caus-
ed a. shortage of water which has
greatly reduced the output of concen-
trates. Otherwise the condition al
the mine and mill is favorable tC
