SEARCHED YEARS FOR OWNER.

Search for the owner of the certifi-
cate has proceeded for many years, be-
ginning with the incumbency of John
A. Finch as president, 20 years ago, and
ending with Mr.. Mccarthy. Dan r.
Bagnell. who is a large holder of Hec,a
stock, engaged in the search as late
as seven years ago.
He worked on another case in kind
until heirs in Ireland We're substan-
TALLY rewarded for the small invest
ment by an early day miner Of the
Occur d'Alene region in another infant
company since grown great.
The tale Of thu Hecla certificate and
the long search for its owner is told
by A. L. Dunn in the Wallace Miner.
The certificate, which bore No. IL,
was issued to NJ. L. Martin, relates M.
Dunn. Several lean years and a period
of suspension followed its issue. When
surrender OF the stock was called FOR
to bring about change in capitaliza-
ton from 100000 to 100000 shares. all
holders but NJ. l.. Martin responded.
The address of the holder was UNI
known. Nor was it known whether the
holder was man or woman.
Mr.. FINCH PROTECTED OWNER.
Assessments were levied until $500
stood against certificate No Al. but NJ.
Finch would not allow the stock to be
sold, as he believed the mine would
become valuable and he feared the
holder might be deprived of earnings.
He carried the burden of payments
himself.
When expectations were realized and
profits accrued Mr.. Finch had them en-
tered to the credit of NJ. l.. Martin.
They have been so entered from month
to month for nearly II years.
Tuesday last the First National bank
of Wallace received from the National
Bank Of Commerce. New York, q cer-
tificate Of stock I'm the Hecla Mining
company. II was for 5000 shares and
issued in the name OF NJ. L. Martin and
bore the number Al" \ letter that
accompanied the certificate asked that
it be transferred to Mrs. Mary L.
Humes. Affidavits showed that Mis-.
Humes was formerly NJ. l.. Martin.
There is still due from NJ. l.. Martin
$500 in unpaid assessments against ce--
tificate No. II. but it is not believed
Mrs. Humes will miss it from the great
accumulation Of dividends.
When NJ. L. Martin acquired the cer-
titicate the Hccla was in charge nf
A. NJ. Campbell, Mr.. Finch and Patrick
Clark, al! Of whom have died.

sidered at Meeting - No
Definite Action Taken.

any other officer. The controversy is
unsettled and promises some stormy
sessions of the land board this week.
