HECLA PAYS DIVIDEND
FOR JANUARY $4,000
MARSH MILL RUNS ON ORE FROM
SOUTH VEIN-PROBABL
DIVIDENDS FOR 1917.

The Heela Mining company paid
dividend No. 164 last Saturday of Is
cents per share, amounting to $150,000,
making the grand total paid by the
company $5,455000. At this rate the
Hecla will pay $1,S0O,0O0 during the
current year. 1t is in fact quite prob
able that the company will round
out the year with $2,000,000 to it's
credit for the year, for it is under
stood that the earnings of the COM
pany are considerably in excess of
the monthly disbursements which
should result in the payment of an
occasional extra dividend during the
year. This of course presupposes that
the prices of lead and silver will con-
tinue to maintain high level, and
the outlook in this respect is regarded
as exceptionally favorable.
Marsh Mill Running Two Shifts.
The Marsh mill is reported running
two shifts and is doing excellent work.
The ore for this mill is being taken
from the new south vein which car
ries considerable zinc, the first that
has been encountered to any appreci-
able extent in the Hecla The ore is
mined in No. 3 tunnel from which it
is dumped into the old ore bins for
shipment to the mill, thus escaping
the extra labor and expense of hoist
ing. The ore in this vein has been
opened in No tunnel, 1870 feet above
No. 3, and on the 800 and 600 levels
from the shaft.
The statement just issued by the
Marsh Mines Consolidated states that
the Hecla has a lease on the mill for
one year. subject to cancellation
thereafter upon notice of 80 days.

p. ]. Gearon, president and manager
of the Success Mining company; STAN
ley r. Moore, superintendent of the

dent of the mill, have gone to the
Wood River district to inspect lead
silver mine with the view to purchase,
but whether for the Success company
or for Mr.. Gearon and his associates
is not known The departure of these
gentlemen led to a report that the
property had already been purchased,
that a large number of men had been
laid off at the Success and that Sue
cess machinery and equipment would
be moved to the new property, all of
which seems to be wholly without
foundation 1t is stated authoritative
ly that the Wood River property has
not been taken over, and it learned
that the usual force is working at the
Success, and the company is making
the usual shipments of about a carload
of concentrates day, which has been
the average during the past month or
more.

CALEDONIA.
Present Metal Prices insure Continu-
ing Scent Dividends.

A statement recently issued by
Charles MeKinnis, secretary Of the
Caledonia Mining company, says that
a continuance of the present metal
price will enable the Caledonia COM
pany to pay the regular dividend of 3
cents per share per month for the
coming three months. The statement
also includes some interesting figures
covering operations during 1916. The
gross value of the output was $1,769,-
$50 and the net value was $1,302, 113.
The company shipped during the year
II AGA tons of ore containing an av-
erage of 29S1 per cent lead, 74.2S
ounces of silver and 272 per cent
copper The net earnings of Decem-
ber We're $106,000.
The ore shoot has not been located
on the Heating tunnel level, although
persistent efforts to that end are still
being made.

ROSE CONSOLIDATED.
Coeur d'AIene People May Have Little
Bonanza Near Libby.

DOndnZd wear
Sidney l.. Shonts, H. e. Childs, of
Kellogg, and Oscar Nordquist were in
consultation in this city last Monday
evening on matetrs in connection with
the operations of the Rose Consolidat-
ed Mining company, of which they are
the controlling owners. The property
of the company is about II miles from
Libby, Montana, and the success that
has come from its development and
operation is most gratifying. The
company has a 10-stamp mill which
is now running steadily on ore that
carried $l2 in gold. Along with the
gold is considerable tungsten ore
which goes through the battery with
the gold and is recovered from the
tailings on concentrating tables, the
gold being recovered by amalgama-
ton. The company received $11OO for
the first shipment of one ton of tung-
sten. Returns for the second ship
ment is now due and third shipment
has been made. About $50 tons of
tungsten concentrates is recovered a
day. Tungsten is now worth about
SIT per unit of 20 pounds Two tun-
nels on the Rose have developed an
ore shoot 800 feet long with depth
f 500 feet between, varying in
width from inches to feet.

RICHMOND.
Company Rushing Ore Shipments and
Building Tramway.

The Richmond Mining, Milling and
Reduction company, the new organi-
zation which recently took over con-
troll of the Richmond mine near Adair
in this county, is rushing ore ship
ments, the ore being hauled to the
railroad at Saltese, and about 20 tons
per day is delivered. At the same
time tramway is being erected that
will connect the mine with the Mil
Waukee railroad at Adair. The length
of the tramway is about mile and
half and it will be capable of deliver
ing 250 tons of ore per day. The Rib
let Tramway company of Spokane has
the contract which calls for its COM
pletion within go days. The control of
the Richmond is held in New York by
strong financial interests. Ore ship
ments will take care of the expense of
developing and equipping the prop
erty.

NO TARBox SALE.
Every Stakeholder in Company Has
Paid His Assessment.


The sale of delinquent stock in con-
nection with the last assessment lev
led by the Tarbox Mining company,
which had been postponed from jan
uary 27 to February 10, will not take
place, for the very. gratifying reason
that there is no delinquent stock to
sell. A letter from Manager Richard
Daxon states that every stockholder
has paid up for the first time in the
history of the company. Evidently
The holders of shares in Tarbox fully
ealize the rapid advancement that is
being made toward making the prop
erty productive mine and are giving
the management the support that It
deserves. The Tarbox has had its
share of difficulties to contend with,
but they have been met and overcome
by Manager Daxon with a quiet de-
termination during a period of years,
Util today there seems no. further
obstacle in the way of success. In
the absence of any direct news from
he mine, it is assumed that the cross
tut from the 900 level has reached the
ore shoot, which had been proved by
Q winze 200 feet deep from the 400,
md that large amount of ore will.
'oon be available.

BOSS ZINC.
Favorable Showing Continues in the
Drift Which Is in SO Feet.


Drift Which Is in so Feet.
The Boss Zinc vein, which is being
explored by tunnel started short
distance above the creek, continues to
make an encouraging showing, ac-
cording to report of parties who visit
ed the property this week. The drift
has been advanced over so feet with
increased naturalization and occa-
sionaI spots of galena. Considerable
ore, both lead and zinc was found in
stringer which was followed by for
mer owners upon the assumption that
it was the vein, and when the present
drift reaches the point where the
stringer joins the vein or before a
shoot of ore is confidently expected.
An interesting fact in connection with
the Boss Zinc is the similarity of the
surface showing to that of the Electric
Point, in northern Washington, upon
which large body of high grade lead
ore has been developed. 1t is said
that the red oxidized materiad found
in the Boss Zinc outcrop is identical
with that found on the Electric Point.
It's appearance is unusual in this dis
trict, and in view of the results that
followed development of the Washing
ton property, it is regarded as very
favorable indication of a large body
of lead ore.

Farrell says he has never seen in this

favorable and it would not be surpris-
ing to strike ore any day. However
the management expects to have to
run possibly 200 feet to get the shoot
that is exposed In the No. tunnel,
the distance depending on Its rake to

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN CO.
HAS ORE ON SURFACE
PROPERTY WILL BE DEVELOP.
ED BY DRIVING LOWER
TUNNEL.

Plans for the development of the
Lookout Mountain group of 8 claims
have been decided upon by the Look
out Mountain Mining & Development
company, and limited amount of the
treasury stock will be placed on the
market at once. The property is re-
garded as one of the most promising
in the Pine creek section at similar
stage of development. The develop
ment up to date Is little more than
prospect tunnels and open cuts on the
three veins that traverse the ground.
A remarkable showing has been dis
closed on the Lookout claim, which is
about Is feet WIDE giving assays from
samples taken on the outcrop and
from the tunnel short distance be-
low ranging from BIS per cent to 56.2
| per cent lead and from SO ounces to
| 10.4 ounces silver The property is
located on the east side of Pine creek,
near the junction of the east and west
forks, and the proposed railroad will
cross the ground.
CallaWay's Report.
An examination of the property was
recently made by Fred w. Galloway
mining engineer of Kellogg and his
report is in all respects favorable
Acting upon his recommendation the
company will soon start a tunnel that
will cut the vein about 250 feet below
the Lookout tunnel within a distance
of 500 feet. Considering the mineral
showing near the surface, much con-
fidence is felt that commercial ore
will be found on this new level. A
geological report by Earl V. Shannon
indicates that all conditions are fav-
orable to permanent ore body.

company are r. L. Brainard, presi-
dent; William Boro, vice president;
