Arcade sunday and Monday

An Aircraft picture with Elsie Fer
Guson as the star will be shown at the
Arcade theatre. next sunday and Mon
day. The scenario was written by
Charles Maigne from the Song OF
Songs play which attracted wide
attention when presented several years
ago.
The production was directed by
Joseph kaufman. who has been stag
ing Paramount pictures for some time
with notable results. It was he who
initiated George NJ. Cohan into the
realms of screen work in broadway
Jones' for Aircraft. Nh. Kaufman at
tended the first night performance Of
the stage play of THE Song Of Songs
the the Eltiuge Theatre and liked il
so much that he saw the presentation
four times. By strange coincidence.
Elsi Ferguson. who now stars in the
photoplay. was also present on the
OF ening nisht of the play.
Another coincidence in connection
with the screening Of THE Song of
Songs is the fact that Frank Losee.

ALTA SUNDAY-MONDAY

"DOdsing Million Is Nest of Sur
pTises.
If ever there was a play shown on
the screen that contained more thrill
ing mystery than Mabel Normand's S
first Goldwyn starring vehicle.
"Dodging a Million" the authors, Ed
gar Selwyn and A. NJ. Kennedy, would
like to know it.
'Dodging a Million which is to be
shown at the Alta theater beginning
Sunday has neither murders nor de-
tectives to create suspense; but by a
clever unfolding of a novel plot the
| interest is kept at high tension to the
very end.
Everything is handled from the
viewpoint of the heroine. Arbella
Flynn. who is an humble dresser in
fashionable modiste shop. The
spectator share her wonder at the
mysterious things that happen to her,
beginning with the appearance of a
strange young man who asks her the
names of her mother, father. grand
mother and grand father and then
hurries off. and learns the complete
facts only as fast as they are explain
ed to her.
Events come thick and fast. An
expressman delivers three trunks to
her, numbered consecutively. and a
letter containing a check for $500
and instructions to open the trunks
one at time on consecutive days.
The first trunk contains beautiful
clothes of the Civil War period; the
second is filled with jewels. and the
third holds bottles of a curious poison
that brings death painlessly and in |
simultaneously in three hours after
taking.
To comblicate matters a mysteri- /
Gus. but always polite Spaniard with /
unlimited funds. suddenly appears |
ner her and guides her in the pur.
chase of more clothes and jewels. and /
otherwise helps her to live the life of .
a veritable princess.
Probably in all the screen career
of Mabel Normand she has not had a
part that has been as cleverly adapted
to her charming personality or that
exhibits in succession the many phase
of her histrionic ability. "Dodging
Million" is not the adaptation of a
stage play, but was especially written
by Edgar Selwyn the celebrated
dramatist and author of Nearly Mar
ried," in collaboration with A. NJ.
Kennedy, to meet the requirments of
the little Star.

rendered it impossible to make a close
mill recovery.
Earned Small Profit.
In spite of the low grade ore and
adverse conditions of operation, the
National has shown a profit during the
several months the mill has been run
ming The profit has not been large
but it has generally been believed that
it was sufficient to justify continuous
operation and further exploration with
the expectation of finding better ore.
During the month of May the COM
pany shipped twelve carloads of con-
centrates, being the record month. 1t
was also a record month in the grade
,oe ore milled, the feed averaging
around w per cent copper and 4
ounces of silver. This improvement
in the feed was probably due to the
accumulation of finer and richer ore
toward the bottom of the slopes as
the broken mass was being drawn off,
rather than to amy change in the gen.
eral character Of the ore
Well Equipped Property.
The definite announcement that the
National will close down will be a dis
to many stockholders who
have been led to believe through cur
rent reports that the outlook was fav-
orable for it's successful operation.
The company has a modern mill of
over 500 tons capacity a new hoist
that has never been placed in position,
electric motors, well equipped mach
inc shop, numerous ore cars, hoist in
use, and all the usual equipment and
that combine to make a
complete and modern mining plant
Owing to the difficulty and almost i'm
possibility to obtain mining machin-
cry and equipment at this time, this
property of the National is worth more
today in its present condition tina. it
would be new under normal conditions.
These assets may be turned to sub
stantial profit if 1t should be found
desirable, and in addition the COM
pany will close down with comfor-
table balance to dts credit in the bank

CLOSE DOWN NATIONAL
BROKEN ORE IS REMOVED
ORE TOO LOW GRADE AND PROS.
PEcT FOR IMPROVEMENT
NOT ENCOURAGING

Persistent reports during the pas
few weeks that the National Copper
Mining company would suspend opera.
tions at an early date were confirmed
this week by Charles McKinnis, man,
Iager of the company. All miners were
laid off over a month ago, since which
time work has been confined to hoist :
ing the large amount of ore broken
down. In the absence of definite in
formation regarding the plans of the
company, the impression prevailed
that when this ore was removed, a
plan for the further development of
the property would be carried out
which would probably include sinking
at least 200 feet further this plan
being adopted on account of the limit
ed hosting capacity which would
make sinking impractical while hoist
ing ore. This theory has now been
completely dispelled by Manager Nc
Kinnis, who says that all operations
at the mine will be discontinued and
that the company has no plans for
further operations. Mr.. McKinnis es-
Inmates that the ore broken in the
slopes will be cleaned up in about
thirty days. The National was ex-
amined some two months ago by an
engineer from Butte and his report
was not favorable to further explor-
alton. 1t appears from the explana-
tion given by Mr. McKinnis that con-
trary to expectations, there has been
no redeposition of values leached from
the ore above. In fact, he says, that
on the 1900 level the ore Is more OK
idized and leached than it is above,
and that there Is less sulphide ore.
This unusual condition is explained by
the fact that the National vein Is cut
by the Snowstorm fault, which affords
an outlet for the mineral bearing solu-
tions coursing through the National
vein. Under these circumstances 1t
Is not believed that further depth
would show any improvement in the
character of the ore. The situation
was made more difficult, said Mr.. Nc
Kinnis, by the oxidized condition of
the ore, very low grade at best, which

BULLION.
improved Showing in East Drift
Lead in Vein No. 1.

James H. Taylor, manager of the
Bullion Mining company, visited the
property last week and went over
again yesterday, expecting to return
Saturday. The east drift has now
about 125 feet to go to get under the
shaft in which there is a good show
ing Of ore and beyond which the
ground has been prospected with a
diamond drill. disclosing a large body
Of ore that carries A per cent copper.
This drift will give depth on this ore
of 450 feet. 1t will be recalled that
when this vein was crosscut it show
ed two feet or more of hard black
substance which proved to be form
of magnetic iron carrying a small
percentage of copper. This iron has
continued in the drift, but recently it
has changed materially, being much
softer and having much more copper.
A sample taken from the face last
week by Mr. Taylor showed chalco-
pyrite all through it, and it is expect
ed that this increased amount of cop :
per will continue. While waiting to
begin work on the main vein drift
was run a short distance on vein No.
/, which showed up a continuous
streak of galena along with the cop
per and much iron. There is another
vein between No. and the vein that
is being developed. 1t is smaller than
the other two, but shows much more
ore than either Of them at the point
Of intersection.

SURPLUS OF CALEDONIA
HELPS TO PAY DIVIDEND
AFTER PAYING OVER THREE MIL.
LION THE MINE Is NEAR
ING EXHAUSTION.

Yesterday the Caledonia Mining
company paid the regular monthly
dividend of 8 cents per share, amount
ing to $7S,150 This makes the sixth
dividend paid by the company this
year, and a total of $46S.90C During
the year 1917 the Caledonia company
disbursed to its stockholders 1897, 800,
being at the same rate that lis being
paid this year. The statement issued
by the company for the year ending
December 81, 1917, credited the mine
with having paid a grand total of
81, ,901 ,606, to which is now added the
payments during the first six months
of this year, increasing the total to
$3,370506. But the earning capacity
of this remarkable mine is rapidly
drawing to a close. For the past few
has been drawn from the company
surplus, the actual earnings for the
last dividend month being only about
$4,000. No new ore has been dis
covered on the Keating level and it is
simply question of exhausting the
ore above. 1t IFS presumed that the
mine will continue working as long as
the profits justify, and that the sur
plus will be drawn upon to make up
the Scent monthly dividend, and when
profit is no longer possible the re-
naming surplus will be disbursed to
the stockholders.
Large Fund on Hand.
A very complete report was issued
about the first of February covering
the operations during the year 1917.
In this statement the cash assets of
the Caledonia Mining company on
December 81. 1918. were given in the
