One Time Prospect Becomes IdahO's
Largest Dividend Payer For 1892

Some ten years ago the

by John sawbridge and as
socia4ea Of Yakima, Wash.
who undertook 20 pull the
company out Of g finan-
cial hole in which . pro-
m0tionaI outfit had left
It. After great difficulties
they raised enough money
to develop Il.
Nobody had any remote con
ception at the time that in
1882 the Sunshine would be the
largest dividend payer for the
year IN Idaho.
Ahead Of Large Neighbor
Yet the records show that
the Sunshine paid $4,000 in
1882, which is at the rate Of
100 percent per year on its
capital. Hecla Mining Com
pany paid $4,000 and Bunk
er Hill & Sullivan paid $62.-
S55 the latter only on its pre-
ferred stock. So far no other
dividends from Idaho mines
are reported for the year just
closed.
John Sawbridge lived to see
his mining venture become a
sensational success, but not
quite long enough to see It
the largest dividend-payer for
a single year in one Of the
greatest mining states. He was
succeeded as president by A.
+. Larson, q banker and capi-
talist Of Yakima.
The average cost of silver
production at the Sunshine
during the past year, incIud-
ing all operating, production,
depletion and depreciation
charges and income taxes. was
22.13 cents an ounce, accord
ing to Mr.. Larson. With the
price Of silver under 25c an
ounce, the margin of profit is
not large and careful manage
ment is required TO keep on
the right side Of the ledger.
Drifting On 1900
Drifting on the 1900 foot le
vel was started recently. A
raise for air win be under way
this month from the 1900 to
the 100 level. With this con
nection effected, mining OPP
erations can be carried ont on
the 1900 level, where the ore
body was encountered and
found similar TO that disclosed
on the levels above.
The average mill feed from
the mine during the past year
has contained approximately
81 ounces Of silver to the ton.
The concentration is handling
$50 tons daily.

FUNDING PROBLEMS

Policy Regarding S8,201,-
309,150 Liberty Bonds Is
/ Task for Treasury Head.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Some plain and fancy figuring will be
IN order on March 4 when the Demo-
Gratis step into the Treasury to see
what shape the books are in and what
fiscal policies they will pursue
Here are some Of the things they
will find:
A deficit In governmental operating
expenses OF approximately S1,350,000,-
600 for the present fiscal year to date
as compared with surplus of ap-
proxirnately S200,000,000 left in the
Treasury when the Democrats went out
of Office in 1921.
A gross national debt of about $21,-
000,000,000 as compared with a gross
debt of $24, 900, 100000 handed to the
Republican administration that took
over IL years ago.
Funding Questions Faced.
A short-term debt consisting of
Treasury notes, certificates and bills
totaling approximately S6,023 000. 900 as
compared with a short-term debt of
$7,654, ,000, 900 in 1921.
Among the first financial questions to
face the Democrats will be the funding
of 1894 100000 in Treasury certificates
which mature on March Is. In May
and June they will have to fund GER
tl1lOdtSo OOJdiiIiS dOOQG 0OlO,UUU,UUU.
But for the financial world the most
important decision expected from the
new administration will be on the
funding of Liberty loan bonds totaling
$8,20l ,309,150. OF the total $1,933,-
212,600 in first Liberty loan bonds
were callable last year and mature in
l947, while $6,268, ,096,55O are callable
next October 13' and mature in 1888.
Program Advanced by Mills.
Financial interests and Secretary of
the Treasury Mills have taken the posi-
ton that this is an opportune time for
funding some of the outstanding bonds
and the market interests have hoped
that when this was done a part of the
huge Short-term debt would be funded
into long-term securities, thus making
the Government out of the money mar
kets as constant borrower of funds.
The Secretary, in speech read to
q Republican gathering at Kansas City
last Saturday night, again advanced a
refunding program as one OF the means
to bring about confidence, but insisted
that a balanced budget would make
such an operation easier.
With money rates lower now than

that through the refunding of large |

ernment could save between $30000,-

NEW YORK, April 14.-Mrs. Pearl
S. Buck, whose status as Presbyterian
missionary has been imperiled by her
doctrinal views expressed in current
secular magazine, had already criti-
cized missionary methods in a religious
publication.
Writing for the Christian Century
on the report of the laymen's foreign
missions inquiry. Mrs. Buck said:
Almost every missionary who has
achieved distinction in appreciation and
understanding of a culture which he
was sent to christianize. and who has
expressed that appreciation and under
standing, has been forced to leave
missionary ranks.
There are many great names of
scholars OF international reputation who
were once missionaries, but who be-
cause they sought to teach Christianity
in a tolerant and sensitive way were
compelled to sever themselves from
missions.
1--WE missionaries have been made to
feel that we are judged by numbers
of converts and by the accuracy and
