Was Not Made on the 18th and Option
Is Probably off,
Under the option held by Fred w
Galloway on majority of the stock
of the Highland Surprise Consolidated
Mining company, the first payment of
cents per share was due on Deem
Der IS. last Friday. According
to the information received from
Kellogg, where the stock was
placed in escrow in the First
state bank, the payment was not
made and the option is therefore for
feited under the terms of the agree
ment. It is possible, however that the
option may be renewed, but on this
point no information is obtainable.
The option called for the payment of
35 cents per share for the stock, the
first payment of 8 cents being due as
stated last Friday The next pay
ment would have been 6 cents, due on
April IS, 1924 The balance would
have been paid at the rate of cents
per share every six months the final
payment being due on October IS
1926 three years from date of option.
According to popular impression. Mr.
Galloway represented the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan company in securing the
Highland Surprise lease.

The amount paid in 1922 includes the

Yesterday. Up to 1918 the company
paid dividends monthly. In January
Of that year the company paid a divi

April a resolution was passed making
the dividends payable quarterly in
stead of monthly, this action doubt

holders, involving nue. clerical WORK

checks. From January to September
1918, no dividends were paid on ac-
count of uncertainty regarding tn

Remarkable Dividend Record
The management of the Hecla Min
ing company throughout its long and
conspicuously successful career has
apparently acted upon the very reas-
enable theory that the profits of the
company belong to the stockholders;
that they invested in shares with the !
expectation of drawing dividends if
the operations of the company proved |
profitable, and that as a matter of /
right they are entitled to returns |
whenever cash distributions can be
made consistent with conservative |
management" Thus the Hecla com
pany began the payment of dividends I
many years ago, in 1900 to be exact, /
when payments for that year amount
ed to 100000 or at the rate of 10 cents
per share. Beginning that year Hecla
has paid dividends every year, with
the exception of 1901 and 1902. In
1908 the company paid only 10000
the lowest record, while the peak was
reached in 1917, when the company
distributed among it's stockholders
