Hecla Mining Co., owning one
of the great lead-silver pro

district, has just paid second
quarterly dividend of $500,000
or at the rate of $2,000,000 a
year, bringing total disburse
ments to $13,105,000. The
company is capitalized for
$250,000, in one million shares
of par value of twenty-five
cents, so that it has now paid
in dividends fifty-two times
its capitalization, or 5200 per
cent. Not so many years ago
Hecla stock was “peddled”
around Spokane at ten cents a
share and buyers were drag
ged in by the hair of their
heads. Original buyers have
now received $13.10 for every
ten-cent piece invested and
are able to sell their shares
at $14 apiece, bringing total
profit to $27.00, or at the rate
of 27,000 per cent. How’s that
for an industry that is frown
sd upon by the bankers and
nvestment bankers? We won

MILL TAILINGS
For the purpose of operating
on the beach at Thane, where
numerous assays show the
tailings carry from $1.25 to
?43 per ton in gold, the South
eastern Alaska Mining Com
pany has been incorporated at
Juneau. The incorporators are
W.A. Borland, J.K. McAllist
er, K.R. Paykull and G. C.
Winn. Intensive prospecting of
the tailings on the Thane
beach, from the mill of the
Alaska Gastineau mine, shows
that they go better than $1 a
ton for the first four feet and
that values steadily increase
with depth, and at 17 feet,
the greatest depth yet attain
ed, the values are $43 per ton.
