“The North Star Mines Co. declared a Christmas dividend of 8%, making a total of 17%
on the capital stock disbursed during the year. The payment in 1910 amounted to 23%.
The reduction for the present year is credited to greater depth at which the ore is mined,
less production, and heavier operating costs. It is understood the company is planning
for the opening of ore in the Massachusetts Hill mine, one of its main holdings.
Considerable work has been performed during the year at the Cincinnati Hill group, but
results were not altogether satisfactory, according to reports. The company acquired
control of the Champion Mine, Nevada City district, and installed machinery, including an
electric pump, with a capacity of 750 gallons. The Champion is expected to prove one of
the best properties of the company.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 119, 1-13-1912
“The North Star Mines Co. has commenced the building of a road-bed for an electric car
line from the Central shaft to the Massachusetts Hill mine. A suspension aerial railway is
employed to carry out the work. Four cables are strung across a ravine, ties are fastened
to the cables, and rails spiked to the ties. The ravine is filled by means of cars of broken
waste quartz, which discharge from the suspended railway. It is reported that
developments at the Massachusetts Hill will commence early next year. The company is
pushing development vigorously at the Cincinnati Flat group with pleasing results. A
pipe-line is being laid to the property from the North Star compressor house, and a water
main is also under construction. At the Central shaft a new hoist is being installed.”

“It is rumored that the North Star Mines Co. is arranging to resume operations at the
Massachusetts Hill mine. The regular quarterly dividend of $100,000 has been declared
by the North Star Mines Co.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 482, 10-9-1909
