Anchor tunnel continuous ore for 165
feet. At this distance fault cuts the
vein, but it has been picked up on the
other side and followed 40 feet, MAX
ing a total length Of 200 feet and with
a good ore showing in the face Of the
drift. The ore varies in width, but is
continuous for the distance given. AT
one place for a distance of 40 feet
there is 1S inches of solid shipping
galena along the foot wall, about .
feet of good mill ore alongside, then
about feet Of low grade stuff, and
next to that along the hanging wall
about Is inches Of shipping like that
on the foot.
The electric power line of the
washington Water Power company
has been extended to the Anchor,
which is only about one mile from
Murray, which will provide power for
the compressor. It was expected that
the compressor would be ready for
operation by this time Work will
now be directed to driving a crosscut
to the vein at depth Of zoo feet be-
low the upper tunnel, and the vein
should be reached in about 500 feet.

Announce Hecla Dividend
For December Friday

Under the new system adopted
by the Hecla Mining company,
dividends are now paid quarterly
instead of monthly. the dates be-
Ing on the 2Sth of March, June,
September and December. For
weeks past persistent rumors have
been in circulation that an extra
dividend would be paid on De-
cember 2S. some predicting that it
would be as high as so cents, and
this probably accounts for the ad-
vance to $6 and better for Hecla
stock, which was recorded a few
weeks ago, Lack OF confirmation
OF these rumors, and in fact in
timations that no extra dividend
would be paid, probably account
for the decline of Hecla to around
50 during the past few days. The
transfer books of the company
close in New York on December
l, Upon inquiry at the office of
the company In this city the Miner
was Informed that the December
dividend would be announced
Friday morning, but no intima-
tion was given of the amount.
The Miner Is inclined to the opin-
Ion that 1t will be Is cents per
share, the same that was paid last
quarter. This belief is based upon
the fact that the company has no
definite knowledge of the amount
or its federal war tax for last
year nor for the present year, and
that 1t will probably be the policy
OF the directors to conserve It's
large surplus in order to meet the
demand, whatever it may be.

Winze Down 65 Feet-Soon Put on
Another Shift in Mill.
The National was hard hit by the
influenza epidemic, but a normal
force is now employed. The winze
that is being sunk from the 1900 level
is now reported down about 65 feet.
At a depth of 100 feet it Is expected
that the vein will be crosscut and
further explored by drifting. The
result of this work is being watched
with much interest, as the character
of the ore disclosed will have an i'm
portant bearing upon the future de-
velopment and operation of the Ma
tional. Ore is being broken ON the
various upper levels as high as the
800 far in advance of present milling
operations The mill Is running only
one shift, but it is announced that a
second shift will be put on about De-
cember /, and 1t is possible a third
shift will be put on little later.

Labor Shortage Again Delays Ship
ments-FulI Force Now.
During the past few weeks the Big
Creek Mining company has again
been Handicapped by labor shortage,
which has interfered with ore ship
ments. The situation has now i'm
proved and a normal force is now
employed, being about 25 men. A
carload Of ore was shipped this week,
and it is hoped to be able to load a
car q week or better from this time
on, as 1t is expected that the labor
situation will show steady and per-
manent improvement. There is
plenty of available ore in the mine,
in fact the showing few days ago
was reported as good or better than
1t any time since the company be-
gan production on this level.

In accordance with the action pre-
Niously taken by the directors, the
stockholders of the Sherman Develop

Friday afternoon, authorized the
transfer of all property rights and
franchises of the company to the
Sherman Lead company, a corpora =

organized by the election of Il. r.
Day, president and general manager;
Charles McKinnis, vice president, and
Fl. r. Allen, secretary and treasurer.
These with Axel Swan and P. |. Mag

Driving Lower Tunnel.
For several months force of men
has been employed Strengthening and
placing in a workable condition the
old Hidden Treasure tunnel, which
will be utilized by the Sherman COM
pany for deep development of the
Union This work has now been
completed and the tunnel Is now be-
ing extended into the Union ground,
and it Is estimated that possibly 900
feet may be necessary to reach the
Union ore body which has been open
ed 500 feet above in No tunnel and
also 500 feet above that level in what
Is known as the Oreano crosscut.
From No. a raise has been made
$50 feet in ore the entire distance.
Work in the raise has now been dis
continued and all work is concentrat-
ed in driving the Hidden Treasure
tunnel to the ore body. When that is
accomplished it is expected that the
famous old Union mine will soon
thereafter begin production
Novel Plan to Handle Waste.
Reference was made last week to
the novel plan adopted by the Sher-
man company to dispose of waste,
there being no room for dump at the
portal of the tunnel 1t has since
been learned that the Hercules COM
pany has Joined the Sherman in in
stalling the bucket tramway which
conveys the waste rock from a load
ing station just below the Tiger
boarding house in Burke over the hill
on the opposite side of the narrow
canyon. Heretofore the Hercules has
disposed of surplus waste by having
1t hauled away by the railroad COM
pany, but this plan has not worked
since the government
took over the railroads. The tramway
Is driven by electric power.

HoFER VISITS WALLACE.
WeII Known Oregon Publisher Makes
a Brief Stay.

Colonel E. Hofer, of Salem and
Portland, Ore, arrived in Wallace
Monday evening. He stopped a few
hours at Kellogg and left on the NOR
ming train Tuesday morning. Colonel
Hofer with his sons is publisher Of
the Manufacturer, publication as its
name implies devoted to the encour-
agement of manufacturing and indus
trial enterprises of the northwest. In
this field it Is rendering most use
full service to legitimate enterprise,
and combats increasingly the socialis-
tic propaganda of such organizations
as the nonpartisan league. Colonel
Hofer expects to again visit this dis
tlict when he will have more time to
become familiar with the mining in
dustry, the encouragement of which
he is an earnest advocate.

Shoot Of Shipping Ore
Struck inRex Tunnel No. !

N' c. Sheridan, who has a. lease
on the upper levels of the Rex
an'he' reports striking new
shoot of shipping ore in No
tunnel, 200 feet above No. Q. The
shoot Is three and half feet wide
and has been followed about %
leet' where it is cut out by
lauIt, beyond which efforts are
now being made to locate il and
which will probably prove sue
cessful. The shoot is practically
all lead silver ore of shinning
grade, very little zinc being as
soclated with it. Prior to this
strike work under the lease has
peen confined to No. 2 tunnel
Where quite a large tonnage of
lead-silver ore was profitabiy re-
moved. Most of the ore was Shin
ped crude, but several carloads
OF concentrates were also ship
ped The new shoot in No. / will
probably prove fully as good as
that on the lower level.
There are no new Developments
IN the plans Of the Rex Consoli-
dated Mining company regarding
a resumption Of work on the pro-
perty. 1t is believed that an
agreement has been reached with
the Red Monarch company under
which the Red Monarch tunnel
Will be extended under the Rex
shaft, with which a connection
will be made, and that this work
will be undertaken in the spring.

Chief Engineer Robb, Of the O.-W
r. & N. company, and Division Sup
erintendent Connolly inspected the
repair work on the Pine creek branch
last Monday, but they had nothing to
say regarding the plans Of the COM
pany after the track had been re-
stored. The fact that Senator Tur-
ner stated upon his return from the
east that he had assurances that the
line would be completed inspired the
hope that this repair work was the
step toward extension of
the line to the Constitution mine. And
it may be, but no further informa-
tion Is obtainable on the subject. The
washed out track is being completely
and permanently restored and will be
in about two weeks.

Visit to the Property.
w, d. Greenough, president and
general manager of the Idaho-C Car
Donate Hill Mines company, came up
from Spokane Sunday and spent
Monday at the mine, returning home
Tuesday morning. The Carbonate
Hill shaft is now down 400 feet and
preparation is being made to crosscut
the big vein, which is probably 100
feet in width. Considerable ore was
encountered soon after the shaft was
started and more or less ore has been
found as sinking progressed. Con.
siderable ore was found in the old
Carbonate Hill workings, and the re-
suit of exploration at this additional
depth is matter Of unusual interest.
This is the first attempt at deep de-
velopment in that particular section

OLD HICKORY CROSsCUI
MAY Be NEARING VEIN
BIG FLOW OF WATER-GALENA
SCATTERED THROUGH
OUT THE FACE.

There are strong indications thai
the Old Hickory crosscut is nearing
the vein, although the face Is still
about IS feet feet from the vein as
had been encountered until a few
days ago. when flow came into the
face in such volume and force that 1t
forced temporary suspension of the
work. This has now subsided and the
crosscut is going forward as usual.
This water, together with a change in
the formation, indicate that the vein
is not far away. For the last ten feet
the quartzite in the face has cubes of
galena scattered all through it and it
is regarded probable that this is the
wall of the vein, as a change in the
dip at that depth would easily ac-
count for cutting the vein sooner than
anticipated Oscar Nordquist, mana
ger of the Old Hickory. came down
Tuesday afternoon, bringing with him
samples taken from the face showing
galena scattered through them. He is
naturally greatly pleased with the
showing.
On a Famous Vein.
The Old Hickory is the western ex-
tension of the You Like. property
which was famous for high grade
lead-silver ore. The two properties
join end lines and the You Like vein
has been traced the full length Of the
Old Hickory claim. Ore assayng
high in silver has been obtained
from a shaft sunk from the surface.
The crosscut will cut the vein at a
depth of about 500 feet. The crosscut
is being run by Arthur George under
contract and nine men are employed.
Last Monday Mr.. Nordquist moved an
air receiver from the Hector
tunnel, about three miles from
Wallace, to the Old Hickory tunnel
and had it in position and connected
up by o'clock in the evening. The
company is using the compressor of
the Star Mining company and is also
occupying the Star boarding house.

Chicago Boston company, pre-
sumaby acting for the Inter-
state-C Callahan company, Is a matter
OF unusual interest in the district.
The Chicago Boston is situated In
what is frequently referred to as the
dry ore belt, a section that has gen
orally been tabooed by the larger op-
orators, but which nevertheless has
all the earmarks of extensive ore de-
posits Up to some two or three years
ago the development of the Chicago
Boston was limited to a comparative
~ small vein of gray copper and was
not proposition to attract large cap
ital. About that time, however the
outcrop of large lead silver vein
was accidentally discovered, and this
lead to crosscut being run from the
lower tunnel which cut a large body
OF lead silver ore, the permanence of
which was indicated by drifting sew
eral hundred feet. The vein Is prac-
tically parallel to the gray copper
vein and a little surface work dis
closed it only a short distance from
the portal of the lower tunnel, This
discovery placed the Chicago Boston
in new and more favorable position,
as viewed by expert mining authority,
and some who had been disposed to
disparage its merits We're now forced
to admit that some good might come
out of Nazareth.

Days Take Option.

The Chicago Boston management
ltaugurated an extensive plan to de-
Velop the property by crosscutting
from the Vulcan tunnel, a plan which
contemplated cutting the ore body
several hundred feet below the pres
ent workings and afording an outlet
direct to the railroad This enter
prise proved unsuccessful, and after
considering the construction of
small mill with the view to making
the property pay for it's own develop
ment, only to be abandoned as i'm
practical, deal for control was made
with the Day interests Their plan
was to sink a shaft a short distance
from the portal Of the tunnel. A
hoist was installed and electric power
line extended to the property, and the
work went on with a rush. At 100
feet a crosscut was run to the vein
and drift disclosed a fine body of
galena. The same thing was done at
200 feet with results even more satis-
factory. About this time the end of
the Day option was drawing near, and
on the ground that they had not had
sufficient time to explore the property
to the. extent they desired, asked for
an extension of time. This the COM
pany declined to give, and the Days
thereupon gave up the option and re-
moved the hoist and other equipment.
PercivaI Takes Option.
This was last fail. A majority of
the stock had been placed In escrow
at 10 cents per share and upon the
of the Days another es-
crow agreement for a majority of the
stock was secured to run for year,
with the view to getting other parties
Efforts in that direction
proved successful. The property Is

CHOCOLATE IS GREAT
SOLDIERS FAvOR|TE

Peculiar conditions exist today in the
cocoa and chocolate industry.
All during the war; cocoa and choc-
olate have been in the highest favor
and justly so on account of their great
food value, and the boys in all branches
of the service have consumed enormous
quantities.
Notwithstanding numerous difficult
ties chief among them the shortage oil
sugar, manufacturers prices on their
standard brands of cocoa and chocolate
have not been advanced.
Owing to a regulation that the manu-
facturers shall be allowed to purchase
only "a per cent of their normal
amount of raw cocoa, it would seem
that an advance in prices would be
necessary if this Ga per cent restriction
should be allowed to remain in fore,
long enough to create an artificial
shortage.
The men in uniform on their return
home would find themselves obliged to
pay more for their favorite CONNECTION

The letter, in part, is as follows:

Through The Republican, Attorney
Flynn appeals to the bar to comply
with this request. The last revision
of the laws of the United States was
made in 1878, and Mr.. Flynn says that
a revision of them, authorized now as
