for reduction. 1t assays well. and the
mine can be made good paying property.
FOURTH OF JJIY STRIKE.
A big strike was made Sunday at the
Fourth of July mines in the Salmon river
district. The company intended to sink
hundred feet and at twenty feet they
struck some fine silver rock. Richard
Sherwood, one of the owners of the mines,
received some samples of the strike yes
terday. Among the ores was piece of
black sulpherite of silver which assays
$4,000 to the ton.
The amount of ore shipped out of Can.
yon creek is already large, but it would be
much larger il the railroad company could
supply sufficient cars. AT present and for
some time to come the Tiger could ship
six cars day. as they have in the concen-
traitor fully 500 tons of concentrates. The
same state no doubt exists at the Poorman.
At present the Tiger concentrator Is run
ming abouC 120 tons of ore day. In the
spring an addition will be built to the
mill, which will largely increase its ca
pacity.
Charles Hussey, owner of the Morning
mine. at Mullun, is contemplating the
erection OF a concentrator for the property.
A survey will be made for mill site,
line OF tramway and water ditch, and Mr..
Bradford, mill contractor, will draw plans,
specifications and make estimates of lum-
Der. The building of the concentrator and
tramway will be commenced about the
Erst of next April The capacity OF the
mill will he about 100 tons and the tram
way will be two and a quarter miles in
length.
DuNkER MIL MINES.
During the last month the working
Tlrra of tha RpnEar IIilI up1 SuIlivup
Mining Company has been reduced, owing
to the fall in the market value Of lead. All
exploration work has been temporarily
suspended, but II sufficient number of men
have been retained to .upply the mill
with ore. Superintendent Clement ex-
presses great hope that by January work
will be resumed with accustomed vigor,
and the large number of men usually en-
ployed will be again on the roll.
The compressor building, which is now
completed, Is substantial structure of
2Ox6O feet. The machinery is all In place
and will be in operation before the eXpira-
tion OF next week. A fume has been built
from the concentration to convey water
from the mil tailings to operate the air
compressor. 1t is 600 feet long with
fall of 1l0 feet. The Pelton water wheel
occupies "a separate compartment of the
new works and the power is transmitted
The drills to be utilized by this process are
three and one.fourth inch national air
drills, using one and one.eight octagon. or
one inch and half grooved steel. The
national air drill is earning for itself
desirable record. 1t il mostly in use in
the principal mines on the Pacific coast,
where it is considered the most satisfac-
tory mechanical appliance of the kind in
the market. This is its first introduction
in Cnur d'Alene.
