HELPS EMPLOYEES and Business.

A conservative estimate places the
number of employees who will receive
this increase at $500, which means
that the monthly payrolls will be in
creased by S52, 500 and that the annual
disbursement by the mining compan-
les i'm wages will be Increased to the
extent of 100000. II will doubtless
be more, for it is known that few II
any of the companies have full
quota Of men and it is reasonable to
expect that this advance in wages
will attract and hold men in the dis
trict, making a substantial addition to
the number of employees. 1t is there
fore probable that the number of en-
ployes will reach 1000 before spring IS
far advanced. During the war, when
the price of lead which was adopted
as the basis of the sliding scale
reached the highest figure, the max
imum rate Of wages was 1925 per day,
the same rate that has prevailed since
the 10th of last July when the min
ing companies restored the wartime
rate. The increase will make the
standard wage for underground men
S5.75 per day the same rate that pre-
walls in Butte and the highest that Is
paid in any other mining districts
Good Working Conditions.
The mining companies are to be
for making this voluntary
advance thus showing a willingness
to permit their employees to share in
the benefits of high metal prices and
at the same time enable them to meet
more successfully the high cost of
living. Aside from the fairness Of the
in taking this action its
effect may reasonably be expected to
hold many employees on the job who
otherwise have a tendency to go else
where and also to attract men from
other lines of work and from other
mining districts where the wages are
not so high There are few If any
mining districts in which the working
conditions are as good as in the
Occur d'Alene district and none where
they are better

DEVELOP BLACK BEAR
AND FLYNN GROUP
ENTERPRISE OF GREAT IMPORT
ANCE STARTS DIRECTED BY
RUSH J. WHITE.

The Flynn Group Mining company,
which has an option on control of the
Black Bear Mines company, and also
/ an easement which gives the company
the perpetual right to use the Black
Bear tunnel in the development and
operation of the Flynn Group, started
work under the terms of the option
last Monday. Rush ]. White, mining
engineer of this city, represents the
Flynn Group company and will direct
operations on both properties. The
Black Bear has long been quite ex-
tensively developed, disclosing consid-
cradle ore, and is perhaps the best
near mine in the district. Little has
been done in the way of development
in recent years, and as usual in such
cases there is now considerable pre-
liminary work to be done before ac-
itual mining begins. This is now re-
ceiving attention, all equipment and
machinery is being overhauled and
connection is being made with the
electric power line of the Washington
Water Power company. Mr. White
was not prepared to state at this time
his plan of work on the Black Bear,
but said that it would have in view
proving the extent of the Black Bear
ore shoot, which is already exposed in
the upper and main tunnels and by
two raises from the latter.
Develop Flynn Group.
While this work is in progress the
main tunnel will also be extended in
to the Flynn Group ground, the dis
lance to the common end line being
approximately 800 feet The develop
ment of these two properties, backed
by ample financial resources, is the
most important mining enterprise
that has been undertaken in this dis
trict in several years. and much con-
hdence is felt by those best inform
ed on the merits of the properties
that it will result in bringing in an
other great mine The Flynn Group
consists of Is claims lying between |
the Star on the east and the Black /
Bear and Frisco on the west, and has
long been classed as one of the most /
promising undeveloped groups in the !
district. The long delay in its de- I
velopment has been due chiefly to its
inaccessibility by deep tunnel, a diff /
Guilty that has now been happily over
come by securing an easement for the +
use of the Black Bear tunnel.

''Notice.

when the last wage increase
was announced we were Of the
opinion that we had reached the
peak of high prices, not only in
living costs but in metal prices as
well. Since that time living costs
have continued to rise and metal
prices have risen also. Because
of this condition it has been decid-
ed that an increase in wage should
be given to all of our employees.
We are glad, therefore, to an
nounce wage increase Of so
cents per day to all our en-
ployes, effective March 1. 1920,

INTERSTATE-CALLAHAN
ANNOUNCES DIVIDEND
WILL PAY 50 PER SHARE, PAY
ABLE QUARTERLY-DIVl-
DEND RECORD.

The Consolidated Interstate Gala
han Mining company has authorized
a dividend of 50 for the year 1920
payable quarterly at the rate of so
cents per share The first disburse-
ment will be made on March 80 and
will be followed by similar payments
on June 80, September 30 and De-
cember 30 The announcement of this
dividend rate for the year evidently
means that the directors of the COM
pany are confident that the earnings
will Justify payment at this rate
throughout the year and perhaps
much longer, while strong prices OF
the metals, zinc, lead and silver, and
the steadily improving market, rem
der it quite probable that the earn
ings may permit extra dividends
to be declared during the per
ent condition for long and steady pro-
duction. The new ore body encoun-
tered a few months ago has made
tremendous addition to the available
resources of the mine, and the i'm
provements in the mill made while
the mine was inactive last year have
accomplished results that equal the
highest expectations of the manage
ment, both in the matter of increased
output and in a more perfect separa-
ton and recovery Of the minerals In
spite of the unsettled labor conditions,
the Interstate Callahan has been sue
cessful in securing and maintaining
a full working force in the /
mine

Great Dividend Record.

The dividend announced for the
current year is the first declared by
the Interstate Callahan since 1918. In
that year the company paid two divi-
dends amounting to 1925 per share
and aggregating S456,222.25. This
brought the total dividends paid by
the company up to $15.25 per share
and made the total disbursements in
dividends made by the company since
the first dividend was paid on April 1,
1915, S6,966,OS225 Through the set
tlement with the American Metals
company in the latter part of 1918 the
stock held by the metals company was
returned to the Interstate Callahan
treasury, which reduced the outstand-
ing capital stock of the company to
319.S93. The announcement Of div
idend Of 81 per share for this year
therefore means that the company
will distribute s6S9.7S6 among its
stockholders.
