amount of ore in sight and the COM
pany has a mill of 100 tons capacity
At the Giant Ledge development is
progressing and recent results are re-
ported to be most gratifying. The
company has started the construction
of a mill, and the amount Of ore re-
ported exposed in the mine indicates
that it's completion is fully justified
A short distance from the Giant
Ledge the Cedar Greek Mining & De-
velopment company has developed a
large body of low grade ore lead-sil-
yer and zinc.
On Gold Run. about half a mile
from Murray a raise is being made
from the lower to the upper tunnel of
the Pilot, which will open the rich
ore shoot, the discovery of which Gre
ated a sensation a good many years
ago.
on Butte creek the Idaho Northern
company is working a few men and
will soon transfer the work from the
upper level TO the crosscut which will
give 1000 feet additional depth and

At the Jack Waite a few men are
employed on development work. Bad
roads and low price of lead forced
suspension of shipments. and i'm

Good progress is being made in the

five feet per day can be made with
the work The crosscut will reach
the vein at about 300 feet vertical

In accordance with announcement
made several weeks ago the Rex Con-

ed development after long period of
idleness Two shifts are now en-
ployed prosecuting from the Rex
workings to the Okanogan vein, par

W eeks ago the Delaware, another
parallel vein, which on the surface is
said to be larger and richer than
either of the others, will also be de-
veloped, and the shaft will be sunk
300 feet further making the total
depth 1000 feet. According to the an

Drift West Is Proceeding With Prom
ising Showing.
Upon resuming development at the
Cedar Creek a few weeks ago a drift
was started west from the main cross
cut tunnel to get under a fine show
ing of ore disclosed in the tunnel
above. The estimated distance to be
run is about rs feet and at the pres
ent rate this should be accomplished
by the 10th of June The face Of the
drift now shows seams of ore in a
vein Of great strength and promise.
and much confidence is felt that an
important ore shoot will be found
when the objective point is reached.
In the east drift a large body of lead
silver and zinc ore has been devel-
oped of milling grade. and the opin-
ion prevails that a better grade Of ore

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-05-26

A n A MEETING of the directors
/ ~ of the Hecla Mining company
/ n held in Milwaukee yesterday,
the usual quarterly dividend
OF 10 cents per share was cut to
cents payable on June Is to stock
holders of record on June 1. The ac-
ton of the directors in cutting the
dividend created no surprise, nor
would there have been much surprise
if the dividend had been passed al
together. There are several elements
that may have influenced the direct
ors. For several months. and until
the last few weeks. the price of lead
has been so low that il is a question
whether the company has been earn
ing the usual dividend Then there
are the payments made to the Fed
eral in settlement of the apex litiga-
ton and also other expenses in con-
ncction with that case. Again, there
is the long pending income and ex-
cess profits taxes. which render 1t
necessary to maintain a large sur
plus to meet whatever demand the
government may finally make on this
account. The Scent dividend may
therefore be accepted as typical of
the conservative policy that has ever
characterized the management of the
Hecla. In the first quarter the COM
pany paid Is cents, amounting to
Sl5O,OOO. The Scent dividend this
quarter will amount to $4,000, max
ing the total for the first half of the
year $2SO,OOO. This will bring the
grand total paid by the company up
to $8.SS5,OOO.
Outlook for Profits.
From the standpoint of ore in
sight, there has never been time
when the condition of the Hecla mine
was better than it is today The de-
velopment of the main ore body on
the 2OOO level continues with most
satisfactory results, while the quiet
ing of title to the east ore body
through the settlement of the apex
litigation made an enormous addition
to the available ore reserves Having
in mind these favorable conditions
for large and continuous production.
the improved condition of the lead
market and the fixed price of silver
at 81 per ounce combine to make the
outlook for profits exceedingly bright
1t is the opinion of those best inform
ed regarding the metals that the re-
cent advance in the price of lead
from to cents per pound is a per-
manent movement and that further
advance may be reasonably expected.
Move Power Plant
Within the next few days, probably
next week the electric power plant
in the old Tiger mill at Burke, ac-
Quired from the Federal company in
connection with the purchase of the
Tiger Poorman group of claims, will
be moved to the Hecla plant and
placed in position near the compress
or where its operation VIII not re-
quire additional help The electric
energy developed by this plant makes
a substantial reduction in the costs
for power for the Hecla mine, and
further reduction will be obtained
through changing its location
Following the removal Of the power
plant the old Tiger mill building. the
last remnant of the old mines that
made Burke a famous mining camp
and around which cluster traditions
cherished by old timers, viii be torn
down. The machinery was removed
long ago and the building has been
a fire menace which the Hecla COM
pany will now abate.

London, Nov End There was reason
TO believe today that a plan for a settle
mant of the Irish question has beer
drafted and is being discussed in detail
by the committee representing the Gov
eminent and the Sim Fein delegation
which is now exercising the chief func-
tons of the Irish conference. Efforts are
being made, it was said todoy, to make
Ulster realize it must be seriously pre-
JUDGED if it were left limited power

some recent literature of this question
which Mr.. F. d. Lugard presented in a
recent Edinburg review, must realize
that our race problem here in the United
States is only a phase of a race issue
that the whole world confronts. Surely we
shall gain nothing by blinking the facts,
by refusing to give Thought to them.
That is not the American way of ap-
preaching such issues.
M. Lugard in his recent ess5N after
surveying the worlds problem O. @races,
concludes thus
Here then is the true conce' of
the inter relation of color complete
formity in ideals, absolute equality in
paths of knowledge and culture, eqL
opportunity for those who strive, equal
admiration for those who achieve
in matters social and racial a separate
path, each pursuing his own inherited
traditions, preserving his own race puri-
ty and race pride; equality ia things spi-
ritual; agreed diVerger ce in the physical
and material.
Economic Equality.
Here, it has seemed to me, is sug-
gestion of the true way out. Politically
and economically there need be no occa-
sion for great and permanent dltferen-
~tiation, for Limitation of the individuals
opportunity, provided that on both sides
there shall be recognition of the absolute
divergence in things social and racial.
When | suggest the possibility of econo-
mic equality between the races | mean it
if | spoke OF equality of economic Oppor-
tunity as between members of the same
race. In each case | would mean equal
ity proportioned to the honest capacities
and deserts Of the individual.
Men of both races may we'll stand un-
compromisingly against every sugges-
ton Of social equality. Indeed it would
be helpful to have that word Equality
eliminated from thi, 'eration; to
have it accepted on both SIDES that this
is not a question of social equality but a
question of recognizing a fundamental,
eternal and ~inescapabIe difference. We
shall have made real progress when we
develop an attitude in the public and
community thought of both races which
recognizes this difference.
To be continued.
