Notwithstanding that profits were unsatisfactory, developments in the eompany'a large territory in tha.Tintle district were highly encouraging. President Walter Fitch, in his report to stockholders, sums up tha situation as follows: The past year haa been a poor one for profits, though not the worst in the company's life of II years, for there have been a half dosen of these that were worse: but during this one there haa been dona an unusual amount of exploring work in the search for new mines on your company's lands in tha eastern part of tha district ad- Joining ths wonderful Tlntks Stand ard and the North Uly ml nee, which your land a practically surround. The money used for such exploratory work was properly taken from the surplus profits of your mines, but these expenditures have largely encroached on tha working capital because the profits that were coming from the Flutus mins suddenly fell off. This condition led to the restriction of part of thla exploratory work and may Isad for the time being to some stoppage until profits return which they now show eigne of doing. Flatus Opens Ore. Tha new find mada some time ago en the north end of the Flutus property has at the time of this writing developed extension and quality in a quite encouraging way and in the southern workings of this property similar results have followed an ore find there with the result that the Flutus Is now sgaln making aoms profit, this condition will permit of added development work and this in turn may and likely will add to further find of nsw or and resulting resumption of former profit. "These recent happenings together with the experience of the last five years of th operations of tha Flutus give added emphasis to the belief in the continuity of tha line cf mineralisation in this property for th whole of Its 4.100 feet of length. We have every reason to believe that the ore that will be found and the profits that will ha won from this property will easily equal. If not much exceed, those derived from our number one mine during the past II years. This belief finds good support by comparing the results achieved at both mines, during the first five years of their operations, aa shown by the comparative statement attached to this report which is wsll worth studying. Johnson Returns. The Eureka Lily mine by your company has not as yet developed any of the rich ore found by the Tlntle Standard or North Uly mines flanking It em either side: but the geologist Is convinced that this will ultimately bo found. "Because of the increasing extent and complexity of the work in connection with the' Increasing number of mines being operated by your company, together with the increasing amount of exploratory work, nuw being undertaken in the starch for other mines, which the geologists assurs us can bo found, ths former general superintendent of mines, Mr. J. Fred Johnson, Is arranging to give up hie work in the northwest and will resume his old position with your company. At tha time of this writing a very promising discovery of ore ha been made on your Deeert Claim tract in the eastern part of the district. The ore there showing la not yt very large but of good quality. This give every promise of adding one more mine to your present ownership."

Pay rolls to1700,000 per month, or 11,400.000 per year, are being and smelting paid by the mining companies operating in the Coeut d'Alene district, according to figures partly tabulated by th Wal lace Miner. At Kellogg the pay rolls are now greater than they have ever been An assessment of two cents i share has been levied by the Park' Bingham Mining company.

The payments." said Mr. Foley, "made from the money received on assessment No. II. together with other receipts, reduced the amount of the old obligations to a total of approximately 1111,000. However, thla indebtedness was increased in the last 10 days to approximately !14.l00 for tha folio win g reasons: j "First: Ths audit of the books of your company showed an over' issue of 11.743 shares of preferred stock, l, 71 shares of common stock, and as your company had received appro lx ma tely st cents per was aus share, and the over-Issentirely to clerical mistakes, it became necessary for the new board of directors to purchase sufficient etock to cover this This was dona at a cost of 11.715.11 (an approximate price of IS He per ehars), for which tha board issued company notes bearing 7 per cent Interest. These notes fall due In April and must be paid at that time. "Second: Ths transportation facilities at your property, represented by a IH --ton Mancha electrle locomotive which is in a bad stats of repair, and which at no 'ime haa been adequate to properly handle tha watts and ore through the 11.000-foo- a tunnel through whicn your company operates, had to bo increased if your property is to be operated efficiently an d economically. After a thorough Investigation of the situation your dlreotora placed an order with the Mancha company for a five-to- n storage battery locomotive at a cost of f Oplus freight on same from St. y Louis. Thsn. too, it has been to order another battery for the pressnt lVi-to- n motor, at a coat of 1100, and in adidtlon the old motor will have to be repaired at a cost of about 1130. Later on It will bo necessary to purchase another battery for this motor. This motor is now being used In the drifts leading from th main 'un-na- l. taling . and It is estimated that there are ZI00 men employed in the mining Industry in that city. Tha total men employed at Wallace, Burke and Mullen Is about equal to tha number at Kellogg. On the south elds and other remote parts of the district thsrs are about 100 more men employed, bringing the total to over 4100. Kellogg haa been especially proa, peroue during thla year and for several years, owing to the growth of mining developments, the enlargement of the lead smelter operations and tha construction of the ulllvan sine plant. On its lest pay day the Bunker Hill as Sullivan Mining At Concentrating company and Its associate company, the Sullivan Mining company, issued 1IZI pay checks. This Is the largest pay roll these companies ever had, tha increase being largely due to the 8ulllvan sine plant ownsd by the Bunker Hill and Hoc la Mining companies, which is now in full operation. In this same locality are comparatively new operations of ths Fage mine, belonging to the Federal company, which employes about 100 men. Kellogg leasers and scattered lone operators probably number, with their men. 100 over-issu- persons, and he growing operations on rine creek ormg the total for no district up to 1100 msn. Next to the Bunker Hill, the Morning mine at Mullen has the largest pay roll, with 700 men: the Heels has 100. ths Tamarack about 210, the Hercules company about 100, the Golconda, Galons, Dickens. Sunshine and other operations scattered about employ about 310 men and 100 more about Muilan and along the Montana line- - This makes another group of 1100 employes. It Is estimated that thers are 100 men employed on the north aids, including tne Jack wait. Terrible, Edith and Cedar Creek operation. Thla makea a total of 4100 men now on the pay rolls of the Cosur a Alone companies. Miners receive IS per day, muckers 14.10 a day and surface laborers 14. SI per day. while certain other special skilled men receive more than the minora. Pav rolls in tha Coaur d'Alenes may be erpected to increeaj rather than decrease, with tha advance of the price of lead, the wage scale of tne nig mines win go up, ana tns Coeur d'Alenes will enjoy greater prosperity next year than in Ills. The big companies pay a bonus to thsm iners, based on the price of lead. e. -II nec-ear- th most spectacular and mbett rnown oil well in the world-Othe- r scenes show the famous Potrero del Llano No. 4 and tha r os Bocae welle.
