JURY STILL OUT IN
THE PRESLEY CASE

The jury in the trial of Erman
Presley, charged with the murder of
H. M. Pickering, deputy sheriff of
Century, after being out from five
o'clock yesterday afternoon to 1920
last night, failed to return a verdict
and court adjourned to meet at $50
this morning. Five witnesses were
put on the stand by the state and
three witnesses for the defense.
Presley himself took the stand and
testified that he killed Pickering in
self-defense. The road was lonely
and the night was dark, Presley said,
and someone, whom he could just
barely make out, shouted tc him to
stop. He saw the man reach for his
hip pocket and opened fire and ran.
H. ]. Mackey opened the argument
for the defense and plead for the life

NO TROUBLE IN
THE LAUNCHING OF
THE STJARNAN

Street reports to the effect than
an obstruction had been encountered
in the launching Of the "Stjarnan"
were yesterday deried by the builder.
Said he: "On account of the presence
of rock pile acvoss the slip, we
had to take unusual precautions to
prevent a too rapid slide. Also we
had to pick our tides. While it has
taken longer to get her in the water
than we figured, thCre has been no
time that the vessel was under
strain, or when she would not move
with the means that we had at hand"
The ship is now in the water for
her whole length and will be released
from the launching ways on the high
tide today.

CALEDONIA DIVIDEND.
Regular Disbursement Will Be Made
to Stockholders April 5.

The directors of the Caledonia Min
ing company have declared the regu-
lar monthly dividend of cents per
share, payable on April s. The pay
ment will amount to $7S,15O This
will be the fourth payment at that
rate this year, bringing the total div-
dend disbursements made by the com
pany this year up to $312,6O0. The
net earnings Of the company in Feb
ruary are given at 100000, being
practically 100000 more than the div
idend just authorized The statement
recently issued covering the opera
tions Of the Caledonia in 1915 showed
a surplus in the treasury on December
81 of $447,9S1. Stanly A. Easton,

Dividends for COeurd A'Iene Mines Almost
$3,OOO,OOO in First Quarter of 1917
Total Payments

The first quarter of 1917 has wit
messed the payment of almost $4,000,
600 in dividends to stockholders i'm
mines of the Occur d'Alene district,
and it is more than probable that this
rate will steadily increase with the
succeeding" quarters. The figures do
rot include the Success and Tamarack
x Cuser, both of which will probably
be paying dividends later in the year,
nor the Hunter, which is also believ-
ed now to be earning substantial
profit. The year Will probably also
see Pine creek with at least three pro-
fit earning dividends, namely, the
Surprise, Douglas and Con-
with strong indications that
several others will also be included.

BOSS ZINC.
Contract Let Which Insures Not Less
Than so Feet a Month,

Henry Lieb, manager of the Boss
Zinc company, visited the property of
the company on Two Mile last Mon
day, and upon his return expressed
much satisfaction with the progress
now being made in extending the
drift Three practical miners have a
contract which guarantees accom-
plishing not less than so feet per
month, and the way they are going
after it indicates that they will gen.
orally raise that record. Mr.. Lieb
says the tunnel has been diverted
from the vein and is now running
parallel to it, being in solid ground
which requires no tmbering. The
tunnel is now in about IS feet and at
100 feet it is proposed to crosscut the
vein from wall to wall, and the small
stringers which are now frequently
encountered as offshoots from the
vein indicate that an ore shoot may
be expected when the 100 feet is ae-
complished although the manage
ment has not figured on getting COM
mercial ore in less than 200 feet.

Prominent Mining GeoIogist and En-

Colonel Chester Il. Kennan, who for
the last year or more has been MAX

a Wallace visitor the first Of the week
As the representative of a strong syn

North Side and has secured several
groups of claims on Pony gulch and
Trail creek, which he is now devel-
oping with satisfactory results. He is
a man Of wide experience in handling
mining operations in Colorado and
other western states, and it Is believ-
ed that he has plans for big mining
enterprises in the gold belt of the
Occur d'Alenes. He is busy man,
but he finds time to vigorously COM

have been foisted on the west and
which will become a fixture If the in

BIG SUCCESS ORE SHOOT
INCREASE SHIPMENTS
Is 81 FEET WlDE--Wlll SHIP
1000 TONS PER MONTH
OR MORE.

After Il shutdown of several days
on account of the snow blockade on
the Nine Mile branch, operations were
resumed at the Success mine today.
The ore showing on the 400 level ap-
pears to be much larger than at first
reported and it was authoritatvely
stated yesterday that the shoot had
been crosscut in one place showing it
to be 30 feet wide of practically solid
ore. Considerable ore Is being found
on the 1900 level, but 1t is not believ-
ed that it is the same shoot as that
on the 400, although the big shoot is
expected to be found on this level On
the 1900 level a crosscut is being run
to the ore, which is expected to be
encountered within the next few
days.
"A capable miner who has had an
opportunity to examine the big ore
body in the Success states that when
the shoot is opened on the 1900 level
there will be enough ore in sight to
run the mill at capacity for two years.
Ship 1000 Tons Per Month.
In conversation with Manager p. J.
Gearon yesterday he stated that he
expected to increase the output of the
mill to 1000 tons per month, and that
he could do better than that If he
get the cars. The company has eX-
perienced considerable difficulty in
getting cars since the embargo plac-
ed by the Northern Pacific, which re-
qurcs shipments destined to points
on other lines to be loaded in other
than Northern Pacific cars. The
closing Of the Wallace -Missoula
branch will have no effect upon ore
shipments as the Northern Pacific is
row operating over the O-W. r. & N.
tracks between this city and Spokane.
It has been rumored for several
days that Franklin Phrman was pre-
pairing to enjoin the Success company
from buying the lead mine in Custer
county, upon which it has taken
bond and is preparing to build a mill
No papers have been served and no
definite information could be obtain

Nick Philpot, well known miner at
Burke, has been in Wallace the last
few days waiting for the snowslide
danger to subside, when he will leave
for the North Side. Last year he

ant discovery on the Ironsides, near
the Jack Waite, and he will begin de-
veloping the property as soon as con-
ditions are favorable.

The usual number of teams are haul

is soft and badly cut up, making it
necessary to reduce the load below
the amount hauled during the cold
weather.
Several raises have been made con-
Meeting No. or the lower tunnel,
with No. 2, all being in ore. The dis
tance between the two levels is about
1870 feet. Both these tunnels have
been extended since the Anaconda
company took hold of the property,
and in the lower tunnel the ore shoot
is 800 feet long. There is ore prac-
tically the entire length of No 2, and

Drifting From the Shaft.
The details OF the strike in the

made in crosscut from the bottom
of the shaft, but at point 100 feet
below the tunnel level. The amount

appears to be of the same size and

From the drift at the bottom of the
shaft to tunnel No. l is practically

proving the ore shoot at that depth
while No. tunnel has proved it to
be 500 feet in length.
Meeting of Douglas Directors.
A special meeting of the directors
of the Douglas Mining company has
been called for Monday evening, April
2. The purpose of the meeting is to
the action of the Anaconda
in forfeiting the bond on the
property and decide what action, IL
any, the Douglas company should take
in the matter. The contention Of the
company is that the bond
and lease are wholly independent of
each other, and that the forfeiture of
the bond in no way affects the lease,
which has almost two years to run,
and which the company continues to
exercise. AT the time the Anaconda
company took hold of the Douglas
here were other parties, represent
ng strong financial interests, who
were ready to take over the property,
and it is probable they would quickly
take advantage of any opportunity to
get it now.

Hand-P Picked Candidates Nominated in
Mass Meeting Dominated by the Days

A mass meeting of citizens which
be almost wholly made up of demo-
Gratis of the Day brand, was held in
the district court room last Monday
evening for the purpose of renomin-
ating Mayor Charles r. Mowery and
ratifying the selection of hand picked
candidates for councilmen in the sew
eral wards. The. machine was we'll
oiled in advance, and the bosses, big
ard little, were out in force to see
that no cogs slipped in carrying out
the program. 1t was indeed har-
monious gathering and fully justifies
the beautiful eulogiums that have
since appeared in the columns of the
Day daily.
The candidates for councilmen are
all respected and estmable citizens,
and far be it from the intention of
The Miner to say anything that will
reflect upon their standing in this
community. In view, however, of the
elaborate program of public improve
ments contained in the lengthy plat
form adopted it is perfectly proper
to direct public attention to the fact
that the names of few of the candi-
dates appear on the tax roll; that
some of them are comparatively re-
cent arrivals, and that at least one Of
them has had his citizenship papers
only few weeks These matters are
not mentioned in spirit of reflection
upon the attitude of these candidates
in the city, but rather upon the lack
of judgment displayed by the power
that induced them to become candi-
dates If these large expenditures are
to be made by the city during the next
two years. as indicated in the plat
form, certainly the men who will
make the appropriations and direct
the expenditures should have been
identified with the city long enough
and in a manner that would give them
a feeling of personal interest and re-
