Outlook for Profits This Year Is Re-
uarded Favorable.

Recent reports from the Snowstorm
near Troy, Montana, in which many
Occur d'Alene people are stockholders,
Indicate that the company will enter
the dividend paying class this year.
The company has experienced much
difficulty in operating the railroad
from the mine to the mill on account
Of landslides and washouts. However,
development in the mine Is showing
most satisfactory results, one Of the
most favorable changes being the ap-
pearance Of more lead. The unfav-
orable condition of the zinc market
has reduced the profit in shipments,
and at the present time the company
Is storing zinc concentrates with the
expectation Of handling them later to
better advantage

1t is apparent from the engineers

proven by further development. We
hope this will prove to be a large ore

that it will for the reason that 1t Is

THE IMPERIAL MINING CO.
WILL RAISE 700 FEET
WELL EQUIPPED PROPERTY IS
PLANNING TO RESUME DE-
VELoPMENT.

Homer G. Brown, secretary of the
Imperial Mining company has issued
a letter to the stockholders of the
company In order to advise them of
the present condition of the company
and the plans for its future develop
holders who are unfamiliar with the
property. Mr.. Brown states that devel-
opment work consists of over mile
of tunnel and crosscuts. In the upper
tunnel the ledge was encountered
about 1000 feet from the portal of the
tunnel in which was found carbonate
ore running as high as As per cent

drifted upon for 400 or 500 feet. VAL

though not as high as where first en-
says;

now proposed to raise from the

'The work will be started as soon as
weather conditions permit at which
time an assessment of one-half of the
amount stated above will be levied.

Possible Ore Development.
There is no ore developed ahead of
the present working slopes. There is
not a face of ore in any drift in the
property where active development
would open commercial ore. From the
surface to the 300-foot level the pro-
perty has been thoroughly prospected
and the ore extracted, but from the
300 to the 7O0-foot level, although
considered practically finished, there
still remain several blocks of undev-
eloped ground from which there is
a possibility of developing consider
able tonnage.
| During the past two years the COM
pany has, above the 1200-foot level,
developed some 5000 feet and opened
some 100000 tons of commercial ore.
During the same period, $50 feet of
shaft was sunk and some 1000 feet of
development was accomplished on the
| IL, 10, II, Is and 16 hundred foot
levels and total of some $4,000 tons
OF ore was opened.
Present ore reserves show total
tons broken, $500; total tons unbrok-
en-, 1880; average assays: per cent
lead, 1916 per cent zinc, 1.5 ounces
silver. Probable ore, 5000 tons.
Possible ore is "a matter of pros
pecting entirely and owing to the ir-
regularity and various sizes of the
ore bodies the tonnage cannot be es-
timated.
Record Of Production.
This property has productd above
the 1200-foot level some 733,2OO tons
of ore and paid dividends of some
H,9O0.O00.00 up to July, 1916. Since
that time it had been developing and
producing steadily at loss of some
$3.50, 100000. This was due in part to
the extensive development below the

Dry Mash Method Is Most Popular and
Convenient With Poultry Keepers
Who Are Absent From Homo
During the Day.

The best results in feeding hens
for eggs are obtained by giving the
birds several meals a day in such form
that they eat about equal amounts Of
soft and hard feeds. When 1t is not
convenient to hand-feed them in this
way, very good results may be obtain

conditions that they do not gorge them

Soft feeds for poultry are ground
grains and by-products, vegetables, the
flesh parts Of animal feed substances,
and table scraps which are mixture
of such things. Hard feeds are whole
and cracked grains, and the mineral
parts of animal feeds.
Mixture ls Mash.
A soft feed mixture is called u mash.
Washes are fed either in a moist or
in dry state. The form in which the
mash is given determines the manner
of feeding 1t, and-to some extent
the method of feeding the hard grain.
A moist mash is usually given as one
Of two or more regular meals, and In
such quantity that 1t Is all consumed
within a short time. Table scraps with
enough ground feed to absorb any ex-
cess of moisture make a good moist
mash. A dry mash Is usually fed In a
hopper from which the birds can eat
at will at all times or at least, for sew
eral hours daily.
The dry mash method is most con-
venient for poultry keepers who are
away from home all day, and in short
winter days cannot attend to their
hens by daylight. With an ample sup
ply of dry mash in a hopper, days

of the practice of sending hens to mar

profitable to the farmers, and the eff
