from two veins, the second or south
vein being opened for the first time
by the leasing company in the course
Of exploratory work. This vein Is
said to carry large percentage of
lead in addition to gray copper with
the usual high silver value. The or
iginal Yankee Boy vein, which Is ia

producer, maintains it's high values
and the ore shoot Is reported much
larger than in the upper workings.

For 80 years the Yankee Boy has

property in the early days from which
they acquired substantial fortune
True Blake died several years ago in
California, but the property is still
owned by his heirs and his brother
Dennis Blake. In the upper workings
the pay streak was small, but con-
tinuous and very rich In silver. To
mine and sort 1t was tedious and
laborious task, but the Blake brothers
stuck to 1t with tireless industry
and intelligence characteristic of the
sturdy New England stock to which
they belong. Having received ample

Dor, they retired from the active oper-
alton of the property good many
years ago. leasing the different levels

ST. LAWRENCE.
Wagon Road Completed and Ore Ship

Henry M. Lancaster, who has a bond
end lease on the st, Lawrence, near
Saltese, was in the city the first of the
week. He reports the new wagon road
to the working tunnel nearing com
pletion and expects to begin ore ship
ments by the first Of the week. Much
development was done during the
winter, with the result that large
ore shoot has been opened, chutes put
in and everything is in readiness for
the extraction of ore In fact several
carloads are on the dump ready for
shipment. The st. Lawrence is owned
by Angus and Dan Sutherland, of this
city, and the Finch & Campbell estate,
the latter interest being under bond
to the Sutherlands. Considerable ore
has been shipped from the property
under the management Of Angus
Sutherland, the ore averaging about
IS per cent copper and Sc in gold.

HEcLA COMPANY SHIPS
ORE TO BUNKER HILL
FIRST CAR FORWARDED LAST
MONDAY--PAYS MONTH.
LY DIVIDEND.
T1HE FIRST carload of ore from
the Hecla Mining company con-
signed to the Bunker Hill &

TIME FIRST carload of ore from
the Hecla Mining company con
signed to the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan smelter was shipped
last Monday and the entire lead silver
product of the company will be treat
ed at the Kellogg plant. 1t was an
nounced some weeks ago that the
Hecla company had entered into a
contract with the Bunker Hill smelter
for the treatment of its ores FOR per-
iod of five years, beginning July L.
The Hecla company has heretofore
the international smelter, the ore be-
ing shipped to the plant at Tooele,
Utah. This plant is now closed down
on account of a strike, and it Is I'M
certain when it will be in position to
receive ore. This is understood to
explain why the Hecla has diverted it's
ore to the Bunker Hill smelter before
the first of July. when its contract is
effective. 1t has been stated that UNI
der the terms of the contract with the
Bunker Hill the Hecla company will
realize saving OF 81 per ton.
Hecla Dividend.
Dividend No, 169 was paid by the
Hecla company on June 20. The dis
bnrsement was Is cents per share, the
same rate that has prevailed during
this year and for several months prior
and amounts to $4,000. This pay
ment brings the total payments this
year up to 100000 and the grand to-
tai paid by the mine up to s6,205, 200.
Zinc has now become a factor OF
considerable importance in the output
OF the Hecla mine. due to. the develop
ment of a new vein known as the Ore
ornogo. As the other two veins are
practically free from zinc, the Hecla
mill has never been equipped for the
recovery of that metal The product
of the Oreornogo is therefore treated
at the Marsh mill, on Nine !. Mile, |
which is utilized two-thirds of. the |
time under lease. the Marsh company |
