Manager Reports Property Showing
Up Fine as Development Progresses.
Charles McKinnis left Tuesday for
Chloride, Arizona, on business connec-
ted with the Jemison mine near that
place, of which heNis the manager. He
stated that recent reports from the
property were Of the most satisfactory
nature. The shaft is now down 300
feet and a crosscut is being run to the
vein. At 200 feet the vein had been
crosscut and drifted upon for about
1870 feet, showing it to be larger than
in the tunnel and maintaining practi-
cally the same values in copper, sill
yer and gold.
Mr.. McKinnis says there is great
activity in mining in the Chloride dis
trict and all indications point to Its
being mineral producing section of
great importance. 1t is stated that
about SO properties are making ship
ments and many of them give promise
of being large and permanent produc-
ers. In addition to copper. silver and
gold, there are also immense deposits
of zinc which are attracting much at
tention. One of these not far from
the Jemison was recently acquired by
the Grazelli Chemical company.

-1HE CONSOLIDATED Inter-

mined and delivered to the mill
during the month of August
| 1905 tons of ore. the assay contents
of which was 21.5 per cent zinc; II
per cent lead; 3 ounces of silver per

shipped 5226 tons of zinc and 951 tons

month We're GIT dry tons of zinc and
lead silver ores, assaying approxim-
ately AZ per cent zinc, 46 per cent lead
and Is ounces of silver per ton.

A new unit Is under construction at
the mill for the treatment of the COM

is expected that this addition to tho
mill will materially increase the ton
mage output and add to the metal
contents and the recovery In the ore
This unit will treat the ore by flo

owns under contract with the Miner
ais Separation. Hence this company
is not liable for infringement of tn,

Increased Tonnage.
This information comes from an Of
fetal source. A comparison of the fig
ures contained in the report for the
quarter ending June &c. the tonnage
shipped in August is considerably
more than the monthly average for
the quarter, which was 14,432 pounds.
The average metal content of the ore
and concentrates for the month were
approximately the same as during the
quarter. During the month the aver
age price of spelter has probably been
about cents, lead between 10 and II
and silver probably rs or 80. With the
completion of the new flotation plant
the Interstate Callahan company viii
be in position to make q substantial
addition to its output and also make
a closer recovery of all mineral val
ues in the ore. The price of spelter
remains~strong at and around 5 cents
and the best authorities expect this
condition to continue until the closa
of the war and probably much longer.
Much of the ore that for a time after
the beginning of the war was shipped
from Australia to this country for re-
duction, owing to the closing of the
Belgian and German smelling plants,
has now ceased on account Of the
shortage Of ships, which explains in
great measure the strength of the
spelter market and gives a favorable
outlook for the metal. The Inter-
state Callahan company is in posi-
tion to take full advantage of this sit
uation, as the ore reserves of the mine
are steadily being enlarged, the ore
maintaining its uniform grade as de-
velopment progresses.

excuses to escape the call for service

EAST CALEDONIA.
Will Begin Sinking as Soon as Elec
trio Motor Arrives.

Everything Is in readiness to be-
gin sinking at the East Caledonia just
as soon as the electric motor arrives,
which is expected daily A sump has
been cut at the 800 level where the
electric pump will be stationed. the
pump is on the ground and everything
in readiness for it's installation upon
the arrival Of the motor The steady
improvement in the ore from the 200
level down to the 400 justifies the ex-
tension of the shaft 200 feet further,
which is expected to show a further
improvement. On the 400 level the
showing is especially good, and from
this level about a carload of ore has
been taken in the course of develop
ment which will soon be shipped.

"HE TAX LEVY for Shoshone
county which has just been
made by the commissioners for
this year affords an interesting
study when compared with the levies
for the two preceding years, and the
taxpayers will find 1t to their advan
tage to give the subject something
more than passing attention. The
total levy for state and county is 81
per 500 of valuation, the same levy
that was made for the year 1916 and
for 1915. To the ordinary taxpayer
who in reality gives little thought to
so important matter as taxation.
this sounds good, for he sees no in
crease in the burden he Is carrying.
But why should not the burden be
lightened? That is the real ques-
ton, and the taxpayers should insist
that the commissioners give salts
factory answer.
The total valuation of taxable pro-
perty in Shoshone county this year is
in round figures $30,000,00O. This is
$3,750,OO0 more than it was last year
and $S,50O,OO more than it was in
1915. Yet the levy this year is exactly
the same that it was in 1916 and 1915.
Stated in figures this means that
the taxes to be collected this year will
be $37,5O0 more than the amount col
lected last year, and $4,000 more than
the amount collected in 1915. The
total taxes this year will amount to
$500. 900.
What has made necessary this large
increase in the revenue to be collected
from the people Of this county? Why
does it require $37,5OO more money to
pay the expense of county govern
ment this year. than it did last, and
why does it require $4,000 more than
it did in 1915?
Why did not the county commits
sioners reduce the levy to correspond
to the rapid increase in taxable pro-
perty?
And yet in the presence of these
figures that tell palmer than words
the story of extravaganza, the tax
payers continue to be regaled with
fulsome praise of the commissioners
for efficiency and economy in county
government.

~ OUGLAS shareholders will re-
ceive a dividend of l cent per
share on october l, aggregat-
ing In round figures $500
This disbursement was authorized by
the board of directors at a meeting
held yesterday, after receiving infor-
nation by telegraph to Herman J..
Rossi, vice president, from the Ana
conda company that the royalty for
August would be $3,455.O6. This
amount will be placed in the bank
to the credit of the company on or
about the 18th, following the usual
custom of the leasing company. 1t
is found upon investigation that the
the Douglas company as given in a
recent issue Of this paper was incor-
rect. The correct balance is $6,323.11,
which will be increased to $9,77S.17 by
the addition of the August royalty.
This will permit paying the dividend
| of $500 and still leave balance of
$1,278. This will be the second divi-
dend paid by the Douglas of l cent
per share since the property was taken
over by the Anaconda, and the pros
pect for continuous payments could
hardly be better.
Strikers Return to- Work.
The closing down of the Anaconda
smelters through the strike of en-
ployes a few weeks ago Immediately
resulted in the suspension of ore ship
ments from the Douglas. About 70
men, however, were kept at work on
development News was receited
yesterday that the strikers at Ana
conda had by almost unanimous vote
decided to return to work, and it Is
Expected that in a few days the great

be Immediately felt on Pine creek, ant
particularly at the Douglas, which /.
expected to resume shipments at once
Reports from the property indicate
that the ore is showing up fine on al
levels, and it Is expected that ship
ments will go forward at the rate es-
tablished in August, which was the
record month.
Railroad Will Help.

the production of the Douglas. This
difficulty will soon be overcome. pro-

that the contract has been award

Shaft Down 200 Feet-Preparing to
Crosscut to Vein.
H. o. Bemis manager of the Lom-
hardy Mining company, was in the
city the first of the week. He stated
that the shaft from the main tunnel
is now down 200 feet and that as soon
as the station had been completed a
crosscut would be run to the vein,
which it is believed is not more than
,15 or 20 feet away. possibly less. The
shaft is an incline following the dip
Of the vein. The showing Of ore dew
eloped in the tunnel for over $50 feet,
and particularly near the shaft where
there is considerable lead ore Of ship
ping grade as we'll as a good grade OF
zinc, justify the expectation Of fine
body of ore when the vein is encoun-
tered in the crosscut. The Lombardy
