he would spend most of the night
with pick and shovel on this road.
Ore shipments began Immediately up
on its completion and continued un-
til returns aggregated about 500, 600.

Combine With Interstate.
The difficulty and expense of OPP
Grating the Callahan on account Of
the long wagon haul induced Mr.
Callahan to consolidate with the In
terstate Mining company operating
on the opposite side of the mountain
on adjoining ground, giving an outlet
on the south side and connection with
the railroad by tramway The new
company was called the Consolidated
Interstate Callahan Mining company
name that was recently changed to
the Callahan Zinc-Lead company.
John Callahan, who was an equal
owner with Jim, did not favor the
consolidation and sold his interest to
the promoters of the consolidation for
large figure. The consolidated com
pany paid it's first dividend in April,
1915. and up to date its disbursements
amount to SIG per share. Mr.. Gala
han is understood to have owned
10000 shares, the largest individual
stakeholder in the company. and his
total income from his holdings
amounts to practically SL250,O00. In
spite of serious loss through the Mil
holland & Hough swindle, expensive
litigation and Improbable invest
ments, Mr.. Callahan left a large es-
tate. Besides his stock in the Gala
han company, he owns half of the
Black Jack group, joining the Tam
arack & Custer on the west; the
Patuxent joining the Rex, and upon
which considerable ore has been de-
veloped; the Occur d'Alene cannery;
beautiful home in this city; stock in
various non productive mining COM
panies, and it is believed probable
that during the past year or more he
has invested to considerable extent
in high class railroad and copper
stocks.

consciousness and Sunday afternoon
he passed peacefully away. The
funeral services took place at the
Catholic church Tuesday morning

beautifully OF the deceased. saying
that during his brief acquaintance he
mad discovered what appeared to be
Mr. Callahan's chief characteristics, |
"singleness Of purpose and the cour-
age of his con1 ,etons.' two qualities
which if possessed by all would go far
toward solving the problem OF human
happiness
