INTERSTATE E.CALLAHAN
PREPARES FOR WAR TAX
PAASSES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
EARNINGS SUFFICIENT
TO PAY 1T.

The Consolidated Interstate Gala
han Mining company will pass the
regular dividend for this quarter is
the announcement made by President
John A. Percival in New York yester-
day. The dividend would have been
payable on September 80. The COM
pany has paid two quarterly dividends
of 81 each this year. In explaining
the reason for passing the dividend,
President Percival says:
1.-THE directors decided that the un-
certain outlook, due to the war, and
the increased cost Of production, to-
gether with the necessity of provid-
ing for heavy war taxes, make desir-
able the creation Of a strong reserve,
the reserve to become a protection
against any emergency.
"The war tax lis approximately
$500, ,OOO,s estimated under the provi-
sions of the statute as now drawn. 1t
must be paid out Of the 1917 earn
ings."
Before the statement from the pres
ident was received there was consid-
cradle speculation as to the cause of
the action of the directors in passing
the dividend, some contending that
the ore was not maintaining its grade
with depth and that there was much
more iron to contend with, while 9TH
ers suggested that with zinc at 8
cents and the high cost of labor and
supplies the actual earnings of the
company had been reduced below the
dividend rate. But these contentious
were knocked sout by the statement OF
President Percival, who says:
"The earnings Of the company for
the third quarter were approximately
$4s1, 900. This is equivalent to 81 a
share. The outlook for the fourth
quarter is even more promising"
1t is probable that some other Occur
d'Alene companies may have to adopt
the same course as the Interstate CAL
lahan and pass or reduce the dividend
to meet the heavy war tax on excess
profits. Many of the companies, how
ever. maintain large surplus and
will no doubt get by without axectins
the dividend rate. Among these would
be the Bunker Hill & Sullivan. Gale
donia, Hecla, Hercules and Federal
