JAS WHITE has been at work all win
ter on his quartz location on Archie
creek, known as the Deer Lodge, and
four or FIVE miles north of Banner. A
tunnel was run sometime ago, and
driven 105 feet, and crossed two veins,
one carrying high-grade ore, and
three feet between walls, but all clay
except quartz vein varying from an
inch to two inches in thickness. Three
assays of this ore were made year or
two ago, running $40, sl60 and $500
per ton. Mr. White has been running
another tunnel this winter, which is 100
feet deeper than the old one. He has
driven this lower tunnel in 2S0 feet,
but has not yet tapped the ledge. The
vein crossed in the upper tunnel is
believed to be spur from the Deer
Lodge, but Mr.. White says it may
possibly be the ledge he has beer
running for. The Deer Lodge is oi
good width at the surface, and give:
good prospects. Jas. Irwin had thre'
or four tons of ore crushed a few
years ago In the Banner mill-or,
that was takeh from bunch of quartz
on the side of the mountain below
the Deer Lodge, and supposed to bt
slide from this ledge, the Dee
Lodge being on the summit of tn
) ridge. This ore Mr.. Irwin had crush
ed turned out s12o per ton, silver
the character of the ore being blacl
sulphurets. There is no doubt abou
the existence of good ore in Archi
Creek District, and plenty of it, an
Mr.. White proposes TO stay with
and keep driving ahead until he find
it. If by driving the tunnel on to
7 distance that will convince him tha
the Deer Lodge vein is not ahead {
HIM, he will then naturally come
the conclusion that the vein crosse
u in the tunnel is the one he Is afte
and will then drift on it for ore Z
> sufficient extent to pay. As it is
;, characteristic of all lodges to mario
u and widen as their course is followe
\ this vein by running on it short di
d tance, may widen out to paying pr
L portions. What little ore the led,
rs carries, where crossed by the tunn'
a is rich.

NAz. and Felyx Carpenter killed
two cougars this winter, on Payette,
two or three miles above Carpenters
place. One measured eight feet four
inches from tip to tip, aud the other
eight feet, ten inches. On their first
hunt they succeeded in killing one,
but did not get sight of his mate.
They skinned this one, and a day or
two afterwards went back, and about
half of the carcass OF the cougar had
been devoured. The animal was
killed at the house formerly oecu-
pied by Hank Thompson. The boys
searched around and discovered the
other cougar, that had been feasting
on his mate, comfortably crouched
down in the chicken house. Naz was
near enough to 'Nshake hands" with
his cougarship's tail when he first
espied him. Naz soon sent him te
the beautiful beyond" The law
empowering the County Commission
ers to give a bounty for cougar soalpi
was repealed by the Legislature las
winter, and shut off SO that the boy
would have received if the bount,
law had not been repealed. Cougar
kill great many more deer than a
the hunters combined, and those in
> terested in the preservation of ou
large game regret that the law wa
3 wiped from the statutes. A gres
many more of these AM imals would b
slaved if liberal bounty was odsFe
for their scalps.

Pioneer Mine

John O'Farrell and Chas. Lang re-
turned Saturday from Quartzburg.
Mr.. O'Farrell tells US that the Gold
Hill company is down thirty-fve feet
with the shaft they are now sinking
from the upper level of the Pioneer
mine. The ore of this upper level,
which was sunk to the depth OF l20
feet, from the surface, is worked out.
The company's 25-stamp mill has
been running on ore from the upper
level of this mine since July, 1886,
The ledge, which is porphyry belt,
with a great number Of small quartz
veins running through it, was worked
to a width of thirty five feet, and al
of it milled, the average per ton be
ing sS. The mill has been running
steadily up to couple or three week:
ago, when work began on the second
level, and has been crushing abou
thirty tons per day. Say the mil
has run SOS DAYS. This would make
1880 tons crushed, and at eigh
dollars per ton the amount turned ou
in the nineteen months is s135,60o
Quite a good showing for the Piouee
mine, which, up TO few years age
was considered worthless. A cross
cut is now being run from the bottom
of the upper level, southeast, to eros
this mineralized porphyry ledge, /

The Wide West Company has put
twelve miners at work with David
Barclay as foreman. The sinking of
a new shaft about the middle of the
ledge has been commenced, and 1t
will be pushed day and night till a
depth of two hundred feet is reached,
when levels will be run each way ON
the ledge. Sinking a winze from
tunnel No. / to connect with the low
er tunnel was commenced few days
since. The bottom of this winze
shows large body Of good milling
ore. Some extra fine ore taken from
near the surface Of tunnel No. is
piled up in the old crosscuts waiting
reduction in the spring. This ore as
says over 5000 per ton. All the ore
mined will be piled away until the
company has it's own mill.
The tunnel on the Oakland Sheri-
dan-Jackson group is being pushed
ahead by Collins & Rowdin. This
group was recently purchased by NJ.
f. Leech, Superintendent of the AL
turas, as private investment. The
ledges are the largest in the camp,
but low grade. The average value is
said to be less than sl2 per ton. As
it is free-miIling and can be mined
by quarrying for 81 so per ton, it will
make the owner rich-and Dame For
tune could not smile on a better OIL
more deserving man than Mr.. Leech
The ledge averages sixty feet wide
and Mr.. L. owns I, 800 feet of it. An
other mile or more of this ledge i.
owned by Rocky Bar people, among
them Z. G. Towne, B. F. Sargent
John Boyle and J. Fitzgerald. The,
have recently opened up body o
very high-grade ore near the ives
end, adjoining the Jackson. We ar
told the boys value their claim a
$4,000. We hope they will get il
and believe few months more wor
would make it a cheap mine at tha
prce.

tinue to drive the Mountain Goa
tunnel, and an order to push it as IA:
as possible has been received. Thre
eight hour shifts have been put Oh
with r. Tregoning as foreman.
