The hoist on this shaft will have a capacity of 6,000 tons per day from a depth of 2,000 feet.” Work on the main shaft is in progress from two levels and will be well under way in a short time. Contracts have been placed for the large hoist and the necessary elec- trical equipment. Work on the main ! levels, Ore in South Half In the South Ore Body above the | 40,000,000 tons of ore to be mined, slightly less than the total produc- tion from the property from 1893 to 1932, inclusive. This is indicated by the report| of P. R. Bradley, which said: “The work in the south half of the mine consisted of mine pre- paratory work and the cutting out | completes the half of the mine 18,900,000 tons.\; making a total of 38900,000 tons | above the Number three level.” show the total ore tonnage tram-; med from 1893 to 1932 inclusive to! have been 44,525,978 tons.

The first of | these were paid out in 19031, | amounting to $584,950. In 1932, the dividend total was $720,000. | The gross operating profit ag-! igregates $7,190,942.46, all of which has accrued since 1920.

The net op- erating profit, before depletion, has | been $21,521,667.54. ! Average Wage Above §5 | During the past year, -according ' to P. R. Bradley's report, “there" was an over abundant supply of labor and the local surplus has| been taken care of to some extent ' by communily work. There has been little turnover in the crew inasmuch as the dangers of un- femployment are fully appreciated. The average wage was $5.23 and the over all cost per man per day was $9.37.” Under the heading “Outside min- ing ventures,” he said: “In addi- tion to the group of 20 claims un- | der option on the Tulsequah River, options were taken on the White- water group and the McDougall group, all contiguous. It is pro- ' posed to move a portable gasoline- | driven compressor on the ground ' this summer and to do some un-, derground prospecting at those places showing the best gold as- says.” TWO CALLS ON SUNDAY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT Two fires, causing little damage, ' called the fire department out yes- terday.

STIVERS DIES SATURDAY IN LOS ANGELES Brother of El Man, Na- tionally Known Doctor, Dies of Exposure Dr. Charles Gaskell Stivers, brother of Edwin R. Stivers, of the Unted States Customs Service at Nome, who winters in Juneau, died in Los Angeles on Saturday from pneumonia contracted while he was serving as the director of sanita- tion for stricken Long Beach, fol- lowing the earthquake there on March 10, according to Associated Press dispatches received by the Empire. Death on Birthday Death occurred on the 63rd birth- day of Dr. Stivers. He is a nation- ally known authority on physiology and speech defects. He was born in New Orleans, La., in 1870 but had lived for the last 40 years in Los Angeles. During the World War Doctor Stivers was in charge of examining recruits for army avi- ation service and was stationed at San Francisco. Because his serv- |ices were required in this country, his efforts to get overseas were un- availing. After the war he re- mained in the army reserve corps and at the time of his death he held the rank of lieutenant colonel. Survivors He is survived by a married daughter living in Long Beach and another brother, Col. D. G. Stivers of Butte, Mont.,, who served over- seas during the World War. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles today according to word received by Mr. Stivers. The last time Mr. Stivers saw his brother was at a family re- unjon held in Los Angeles three years ago. —————————— A 100-year-old tree, sentenced to| “death” at Bournemouth, England, has been reprieved owing to an outcry from residents. .
