REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

Honorable Andrew Grindeland,
Judge Of District Court.
The Grand Jury begs leave to report
that it has finished it's work.
We find that the criminal laws of the
State are well enforced and that there
are no cases now pending that need
our considerati ton
There is one matter. however. that
weiwould like to call to the Courts at
tention, and that is with reference to
gambling devices such as punch
boards, slot machinces, and the like.
which are permitted to exist in some
Of the different municipalities. Where
as, some Of the local authorities are
more prompt in the abatement of these
nuisanees than others, and believing
that it would be wise to give all parties
dues notice before any action is taken,
we would recommend that the Sheriff
be instrEeted tognotify all parties main
=tainihg sstlcn gambling devices to have
them put away at once, and that if
they fail to do so to procure evidence
of such violation and bring the matter
TO. the attention of the County Attor-
ney for due prosecution.
We would also recommend that the
Sheriff confer with the different
Village Marshals and Constab1es in
Towns having country stores in order
that a systematic effort may be made
to have the laws regarding the main
tenance of such gambling devices en-
forced
We have also examined the County
Buildings including the County Jail,
and we find them all in good condition.
Respectfully submitted
JOHN WHALEN.

shoot which has been so strongly in
evidence IN the upper workings, has
now reached a distance of 1900 feet.
which leaves, according to survey an
estimated distance of only about 1000
feet to complete the undertaking. This
was the report of the management at
the meeting of the directors of the
company in this city last Tuesday
evening. The directors are A. II.
Featherstone, w. w. Smith, G. Scott

Wallace, and DR.. G. e. Mccoy, of
Bozeman, Montana, all OF whom were
present. Much business of Importance
was considered at. the meeting, all
with the view to perfecting arrange
ments for more extensive development
of the property and its general opera

Lease Terminated.
The upper section of the Big Creek
property which has been operated un-
der lease has now reverted to the
company and the manager, G. Scott
Anderson, was instructed to prosecute
development and begin shipping ore at
once from the high grade ore body
that has been disclosed Immediately
below No 3 tunnel The company
has known the existence of this un-
usual ore body and has been putting
! forth its energies to reach It with
the tunnel now being driven. some
$50 feet below No. 3, and the positive
continuity of the ore in the vein to the
extent of its development thus far
gives every assurance that splendid re-
suits may be anticipated as the out
come of the work as planned.
Work on Both Levels.
In response to a question Mr.. An
derson stated that he expected 1t
would be but a short time until he
will have a force of men working in
both the upper and lower tunnels, but
that all operations for the present will
be confined to the territory not in
cluded in the lease or in any way as
sociated with it.
Much interest has been centere1 in
the new conditions which have recent

Decrease in Shipments Explained.
You will note that the total ore
mined during the quarter amounted to
37,700 TONS which had an average
content of 23.7 per cent zinc; 25
ounces of silver; CT per cent lead
There was shipped from this product
15,473 tons, of which 1888 tons was
zinc, and 1884 tons lead.
"The shipments for this quarter are
about 5000 tons less than for the pre-
ceding quarter. This decrease In
shipments is due to the unusually Sc
we're winter and the very heavy SHOWS
which have prevailed in the Coeul
d'Alene district, which caused block
ade on the railroad leading to the
mine. The severe cold weather alst
caused q shortage of water for the
operation of the mill, which further
reduced our tonnage output. How
ever, these conditions are now RENE
died, and the production for the com
ing quarter should be greater than fol
any quarter heretofore.
Nearly Six Million in Two Years.
"The flotation system which is now
being installed will be completed dur.
ing the coming quarter. This method
of treating our product will, it is es'
timated increase our tonnage by abou
400 tons per month.
During the quarter one dividend
of $1.OO per share was paid, amounting
to $464 $4,000, which brings the tota
dividend disbursement of the company
up to $3.50 per share, or a total dis
bursement Of $5,S12,375.O0 since tn,
initial dividend, was paid on April l
1915"

- last quarter, Manager Otto A.

ing and Milling company, has
pany a financial statement and report
of operations for the three months
ending April 80. The report shows
a net profit for the period of $14,73O.OS.
which would have ben almost double,
according to the estimate of the man
ager, had it not been for the bad con-
dition of the roads which made haul
ing ore to the railroad impossible. The
report covers all phases of the COM
pany's operations and the results ac-
complished and candidly conveys to
stockholders the information to which
they are entitled and for which they
must depend upon the management,
for the stockholders are widely scat
tered and few are in position to visit
the property. The report makes a
favorable showing for the property,
and with the large amount of ore in
sight and the reasonable expectation
OF developing additional ore reserves
at further depth and in the parallel
vein, the outlook is certainly very en-
couraging. The report of Manager

CALEDONIA DIVIDEND.
Announcemen That the Regular Divi-
dend Will Be Paid June 5.

Reports that the Caledonia Mining
company would cut the dividend rate
for May have proved without founda-
ton, according to information re-
ceived from Kellogg this week. 1t Is
announced that the usual 3 cent divi-
dend will be paid on June and that
this will be paid out of the monthly
earnings which are holding up well
above the dividend disbursement The
company has a surplus of over half q
million dollars.

Net hrofits for Sec
ond quarter .... $14,73O.OS
Bad Roads nterfered.
"You &ill notice that March and
particularly April shipments were
comparatively small. This was due to
the bad condition of the roads, which
did not permit of steady hauling, and
from April 13 on they were almost
impossible. In May we have, so far,
shipped only three cars of concen-
trates, but have to date accumulated
over 300 tons of crude ore and con-
centrates at the mill ready for ship
ment as soon as the roads will permit.
With present metal prices this ready
to ship product ought to bring us
net smelter retrun close to $4,000, the
cost of production of which is, for
March and April, included in the above
financial statement Had the road
condition been such that the entire
output could have been shipped up to
May 1. the net profit would have shown
an increase of over $4,000. At pre-
sent time parts of the roads all owe.
the district are flooded, making haul
ing still impossible. but we hope that
this condition will not last very long.
I'm our first quarterly report we
mentioned prosecuting to north
vein from the 900 foot station, which
we should have cut long as0. if it dip
/ ped the same as our explored vein.
This crosscut is now in 1856 feet and
we have not yet struck the vein, which
proves that it either has adfferent dip
than our other vein or that 1t does not
come down as deep as the 9OO-foot
level, but we still have hopes of find
II ing it on this level and will go right
ahead with the crosscut for at least
100 feet more
Results in the Wine.
1--WE also reported the sinking of a
wnze on the vein from the 11OO-foot
level. This winze was sunk 115 fet
and we started a drift from the 1900
foot level west, Which is now in 80
feet. Both the winze and the drift
havet occasionally shown up good
punches of ore and we have every
reason to believe that a big body OF
lead sulphides is not far off.
"In the latter part of April we thor
oughly investigated our present work
ling vein, wherever open for inspection
and we were fortunate in discovering
good ore both in the eats and west
end Of the drift on the 110O-foot level
where we heretofore had considered
the vein practically barren. In start
ing to stope in these places the ore
rapidly improved and our daily ore
extraction is now a great deal increas-
ed. The length of these ore shoots
has not yet been determined.

~ nual statement filed by the
= = Stewart Mining company and
has returned it to the company with
instructions to change it to conform
to the Idaho law, All mining COM
panies doing business in the state are
required to pay taxes on their net
profits, and it is for the purpose of
determining the net profits that COM
panies file statements with the as
SCISSOR showing the amount and value
of ore mined with all costs that are
properly chargeable against it. The
statement of the Stewart company
showed net profit for 1916 of $40,-
1856 but in examining the report the
assessor discovered that the company
had deducted among costs of operation
$50, ,4S73S on account Of expense of
maintaining an office in New York.
This is not proper expense in ar
irving at the net profit for the pur-
pose of taxation and its correction will
result in adding the amount to the
net profit, raising it from 4O,155.55 to
500, ,642S3. A number of other COM
panies maintain offices in New York
and in other states but an investiga-
.tion by Assessor Herrick shows that
none of them have included the ex-
pense of maintaining them in the op-
Grating costs as shown in their annual
statements. .
What the Law Says.
The law defining met profit and
how it is determined follows
"Secs 1864. The term net profit

Interstate-C G a n h an Mining
company, for the quarter ending
March 81, 1917, shows a
considerable decrease in production
due to the severe winter and blockade
on the railroad leading to the mine,
cold also contributed to the decrease
in output However, Mr., Purcival
predicts that the present quarter will
show the largest production in the his
tory Of the mine. This prediction
seems to be fully justified by late re-.
ports from the mine. Development
in the lower levels have steadily in
creased the ore reserves, while in the
upper workings, on a level correspond
ing TO No. 2 tunnel of the original
Callahan mine. it is reported that an
important shoot of zinc ore has been
discovered in ground that was sup
posed to have been worked out.
During the quarter covered by the
report a dividend of 81 per share was
paid, bringing the total dividend dis
bursements up to $3.50 per share, and
making the total dividends paid by the
company since April l, 1915, $5,S12,375.
