New Revelations Of sStjlIman's
liason With Mrs. Leeds"
Stir Wall Street.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Re-
porters today unearthed new reve-
lations concerning the origin and
career of 'Mrs. Florence Henela

petite young charmer who now oc-
cupies the center of the stage in
the absorbing Stillman divorce
drama.

close kin OF the Rock efellers. famous
figure in Wall Street and multi mil
lionaire president Of the National
City Bank. to turn aside from his
family and install "F1orence Leeds
as chatelaine OF a luxurious apart
ment at "a East Eighty-sixth street.
The discoveries-amazin as a tale
out OF f1ction-served definitely to
link James A. Stillman as the myster-
ious "Franklyn Harold Leeds father
of the handsome thirty months old
lad, Jay Ward Leeds" born in the
Eighty-sixth street apartment, Sep

noted bankers liaison with Florence
Leeds" and every detail in the birt h
OF their child has been known to de-
tectives for Mrs. Fiji Potter Still
man for months.
SOCIAL CIRCLES EXCITED.
That they are likely to bring on a
financial cataclysm in Wall Street was
indicated today in the financial dis
trict.
Further. social circles are stirred to
the depths by the revelations, and the
governing boards of at least two ex-
elusive clubs, it is said, have already
taken steps to remove the "taint" of
association with the Stillman cause
celebre.
In the face of tumbling revelations
revealing his double life Of the past
four years. Stillman remained silent
today. Afforded an opportunity to
explain the weird situation developed
by the Leeds contretemps, the part

Despite the prestige of his name
and alleged ownership of more than

Stillman would resign the presidency
of the National City Bank within ten
days.

AMAzON-DIXIE COMPANY

At the meeting of stockholders of
the Dixie Mining company
held last Thursday at Sfldix. Mont,
the proposition to increase the CAPT
tai stock of the company from 1900. p
900 shares to $500. 600 shares was ap-
proved There was large repre-
sentaton of stock and every share
was voted in favor of increasing the
number of shares. The purpose in in
creasing the capital stock by 1,000,-
coo shares was TO enable the company
to acquire the property of the Leslie
Mining company joining the ANA
ION Dixie and on the same vein. Fol-
loving the favorable action on the

so accomplished by the same unanim-

be known as the 1900 level The

that when this lowest level is opened

in the way of modern equipment is a
credit to the enterprise and foresight
Of the management.

WEST SUNSET COMPANY
HAS HIGH GRADE LEAD
ENTERING GROUND FROM 1000
LEVEL OF SUBSCRIBER
MANENT OUTLET.

The West Sunset Mining company
control of which is owned by the
Days, is now engaged in drifting into
its ground from the bottom of the
Sunset Wine, 1000 feet below the col
lar of the Sunset shaft. 1t is stated
that the face of the drift has about
10 inches of practically clean lead
silver ore and that the ore is steadily
widening, the vein itself being about
y feet wide After acquiring the
ground owned by the Portland Min
ing company and organizing the West
Sunset company, the Days secured
permission from Senator w. A Clark
of Butte owner of the Sunset to ex-
plore the old Portland ground from
the Sunset shaft, which was sunk
some $50 feet east of the common end
line of the Sunset and Silver Tip
claims. The Sunset shaft has a YER
tical depth of 500 feet while several
hundred feet east on the 500 level
Wine has been sunk 200 feet further
making the total depth on the Sun
set 1000 feet. The work of unwater-
ing the Sunset was undertaken last
fall and was completed to the lowest
level a few weeks ago.
Drifted East and West.
From information received since
the mine was unwatered. 1t appears
that drifts were run both east and
west from the bottom of the Wine,
and that the best showing of ore was
found west and not far from the West
Sunset ground. But whether that is
correct or not, it was learned this
week that it is in the west drift from
the bottom of the winze that work is
now going forward, two shifts being
employed. The face is reported very
near the West Sunset line and it is
confidently expected that by the time
it reaches a point under the great
outcrop on the silver Tip and Sitting
Bull claims the ore shoot will have
become CORRESPONDENCE large. The
ore is reported clean galena without
a trace of zinc It is believed that if
the exploration work proves salts
factory the Days will open the
ground for production by connecting
with the Amazon Manhattan, a dis
taLce of probably a little more than
a mile and permitting the delivery
of the ore direct to the Ray-Jefferson |
mill On the other hand, they might
extend the Sunshine tunnel from
Beaver creek. about the same dis
lance, or they might enter the West
cs,,yeat Ground from the old Hill tln-
mel, controlled by the Sunshine com
pany which would probably be the
distance.

SUCCESS LEASE.
Shoot Of High Grade Lead Found ir
No. Tunnel.

Shoot Of High Grade Lead Found in
No. Tunnel.
Hobson and Reynolds who have a
lease on the upper workings of the
Success mine. have struck what APP
pears to be the beginning of an i'm
portant shoot of high grade lead ore.
It was found at a point about so feet
below the level of No. tunnel which
was the original working tunnel Of
the Granite mine, now called Success.
When first found the ore was a mere
streak of galena about an inch thick
and after following about 10 feet it
widened to s to 10 inches in the face,
while i'm the back above the face the
ore is between two and three feet
wide. There is no zinc in evidence,
all lead and carries about three
fourths of an ounce Of silver to the
unit of lead. About seven tons had
been taken out last Tuesday. when
the lease was visited by A. G Ken
.nedy secretary of the Success. The
ore is delivered to the dump of No. ?
tunnel by tram and from there hauled
to the railroad at Sunset.

Suspend Dividends, But Continue the
Search for Ore.
Stanly A Easton, president of the
Caledonia Mining company, has an
nounced that the company viii sus-
pend dividend payments. but will con-
tiAue the search for new ore bodies as
long as there is a reasonable POSSIBLE
ity Of success. Beginning last July
the company paid dividends quarterly
az the rate of 1 cent For some time
prior 10 that date the rate was 1 cent
per month and previous to that per-
iod the rate had been cents per
month with an occasional extra divi-
dend. During 1920 the company pro-
duced 2,O19Sg6 pounds of lead and
So4.197 ounces of silver. the gross
value of which was S4S1.O3295 and on
which the net profit was s19O4S7SO

holders of the company which may
remain after its ore resources have
been entirely realized and the obliga-
ticns of the company fully dis
charged"

which proved a real bonanza, but not
without many years of hard work by
Dennis and True Blake. Alone they
opened up the small but very rich
vein, sorted and shipped the ore,
which even at the low price of silver
at that time yielded a big profit. The
Blake brothers were possessed of the
proverbial Yankee thrift. and the pro-
fits from the mine were carefully in
vested in real property or sound Sc
curities Thus they accumulated a
fortune and eventually withdrew from
active work in the mine, content to
draw royalties from leasers. Dennis
Blake was a citizen of the highest
type. He was a quiet and unpreten-
tious man, courageous, had many
warm friends and was always loyal to
them and to his country; in SHORT. a
fine specimen of the pioneers Of the
Occur d'Alenc district.

DEATH OF DENNIS BLAKE.

After a long illness during which
he cheerfully and hopefully resisted
the stealthy encroachment of disease,
Dennis Blake, highly respected pio-
neer of the Occur d'Alene district,
died in California last Tuesday, hav-
int; gone to that sunny cline last fall
in the hope that the change would be
the means of restoring him to health.
He and his brother, True Blake, who
also died in California some 10 years
ago. came to the Occur d'Alene dis
trict in 1884, stopping only short
time on the North Side. They pros
pected along the South Fork from
Burke to Big creek. locating the Yam
kee Boy group on Big creek from
which they derived a fortune. They
also located claims on Lake gulch
joining what is now known as the
Chicago Boston and which Dennis
Blake sold only few months ago for
$4,000. The two brothers gave most
