InterState-Callahan
Will Develop Nipsic

The main Office of the Consoli-
dated Interstate Callahan Mining
company will remain in New
York. This information was con-
tanned in a message to the Miner
yesterday giving the result of the
meeting of the directors in New
York last Monday. 1t was believ-
ed prior to the meeting that the
offices would be moved to Wal
lace. It was also officially stated
that work would be resumed on
the Nipsic, a property Of great
prospective value owned by the
Interstate callahan. A crosscut
has been run from the No. level
of the Interstate Callahan across
the Silver State to the Nipsic vein,
a distance Of $3.50 feet In de-
scribing the showing, Manager c.
w. Newton stated that where the
vein was cut there is II inches of
lead ore assaying q per cent with
10 ounces of silver. Drifting both
east and west disclosed more or
less galena in a well defined vein,
with only a slight occurrence or
zinc. In the upper workings OF
the Nipsic, 100 feet above, a
shoot of high grade ore is expos
ed for 12O feet, ranging in width
from 1S inches to feet, and Mr.
Newton expressed the opinion
that between these two levels
substantial body Of ore would be
developed. What the work that
will now be undertaken will be Is
not known, but it is believed that
drifting will be continued and
raise made to explore the ground
above.
With the exception of Mile
Bunnell, of Duluth, who retired
from the office Of treasurer, the
old officers were reelected, as fol-
lows: President, John A. PerciVal,
of New York; first vice president,
M G.. Rodearmel, of Minneapolis;
second vice president, Mile Bun
nell, Of Duluth; secretary ana
treasurer. H. #. McMeekin, OF

Ray-JefferSOn LeVies
12-Cent Assessment

The directors of the Ray-Jeffer-
son Mining company, at the
meeting following the annual
election last Monday evening, lev
led an assessment of II cents per
share on the outstanding stock of
the company, payable in four
per share. This is by far the
largest assessment that was ever
levied by company in this dis
trict. The capital stock of the
company is 100000 shares, all of
which is issued. Assuming that
all assessments will be paid. this
levy will bring into the treasury
$4,000. This large fund does not
mean preparation for an extensive
development campaign by the
company; on the contrary II
means payment for development
and improvements already accom-
plished. A few years ago the
control of the Ray-Jefferson was
taken over by the Days, headed
by Eugene r. Day, and elaborate
plans for placing the property on
a productive basis were carried
out. A modern mill of 400 tons
capacity was built, the Carlisle
claim was acquired a tramway
was built to convey the ore from
the upper workings, and with this
evidence of tonnage the O.-W r.
& n. company was induced to
build the Beaver creek branch.
1t was soon evident, however,
that a large tonnage must be
made available to make the op-
erations profitable, and with this
in view a deep crosscut was start
ed from the Carlisle level to cut
the main Ray Jefferson vein at a
depth of 1000 feet or more below
the upper workings. Work was
suspended on this enterprise ow-
ing to war conditions. One vein
was cut, but it is estimated that
500 feet remains to be run to
reach the main y-Jefferson
vein Returns from ore ship
ments are small compared with
the outlay for developing and
equipping the property, and 1t Is
to pay this expense that this
large assessment has been levied.
No plans have been announced
for a resumption at the property.
At the annual meeting of the
stockholders the first of the week
the following officers and direct
ors were elected President and
treasurer, Eugene r. Day; vice
president, James j. Murphy;
secretary, p. j. Maggy. These
with ID. l.. McGrath and George
X. Garrett constitute the board OF
directors.

SHOSHONE COUNTY URGED TO

Wallace and in fact every town in

Morris Pearson, president and man
ager of the Lucky SWede Gold IL
Copper Mining company, came over
from Missoula Tuesday, where he
spent the winter. He was accompan-
led by his wife and baby, and after
they are comfortably housed in Wal
lace he will proceed to the property
on the st. Joe and make preparation
to begin work about June 1. He
bought a team of draft horses in Mis-
soula which he will take in with him
and which will prove most useful in
handling supplies from the railroad,
getting out timber and other purposes
Work will be taken up in the crosscut
and Mr.. Pearson expects to cut the
vein during the summer The cross
cut Is now in between 500 and 800
feet and will have a depth of ovei
1000 feet when the vein is reached
Another vein was cut when the tunne
was in about 300 feet. This was
about four feet wioe and shows very
good values in copper, but nothin&
will be done toward exploring it unit
the main vein is cut Harry Pearson

The application Of George l.. Gagn-
on, of Butte, for an order from the
district court requiring Richard Dax-
on, manager, to permit an examina-
ton Of the books of the Tarbox Min
ing company, was heard by Judge

meanor upon which Mr. Daxon was
arrested on complaint of Mr.. Gagnor
was heard by Probate Judge Wenigel

MINING COMPANIES
AND FEDERAL TAXES
TAX CAN NOT BE DEDUCTED in
COMPUTING ANNUAL NET
PROFITS.

Mining companies are not permitted
to include taxes paid to the federal
government as part Of expense or
operation in their statements hled
with the county assessor and deduct
it in determining their net profits All
of the companies made such deduc-
ton in their statements filed recently,
although the only company that listed
the tax in the statement was the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan, the others
merely including it under one of the
general headings showing expenses OF
operation. AS the question was
new one not explicitly covered by the
law taxing net profits of mines, AS
SCISSOR W. H. Herrick referred the
matter to County Attorney H. j. Hull
for an opinion. The conclusion OF Mr.
Hull was that the companies could
not deduct the tax. Mr.. Herrick has
therefore either returned or Will re-
turn the statements to have them
made out in accordance with Mr.
Hulrs construction of the law. 1t is
understood that the companies VIII
refer the matter to their attorney, &
w. Beale, who Is out Of the city at
this time, and be guided by his ad-
vice, The addition of the federal tax
will increase the taxable net profits
by upwards of 100000, it Is estim-
ated.

MRS. sTEINBERGER's REc1TALs

Those of our citizens who are in
terested in music were twice delight
fully entertained this week by the re-
citals given Friday night and Monday
night by Mrs. Steinberger and the
pupils of her music class. In Friday
evenings recital she was assisted by
Mrs. J. d. Lynn who sang two excel
lent soprano solos. In this recital
many of the little tots who are begin
ners in music took part. 1t is inter
esting to note the accomplishment of
the little ones and also the improve
ment made from year to year. The
Monday evening recital was given by
the more advanced pupils with the
assistance of Miss Kirkman who sang
a soprano solo. Those who attended
this recital have watched the devel-
opement of the pupils from the begin
ners grade and are pleased to note
the advance in accomplishments. Most
excellent classical music is handled
by them. In these recitals there is
something for the ability of all who
like music. The simpler, the inter
mediate and classical music is ably
handled by the pupils.
