KooTENAI MINERALS.
Actual Eafts. as 10. -,,.ths-r,,s.. -, a. .7risi
Season.


From Captain Hayward, ofSt. Galcna,
the REVIEW learns that bctwced 300 and
400 tons Of ore have been shipped from
the kootcnai country this season, the Sill
yer King producing nearly 90 tons and
Ainsworth the balance. Although the
season is but half gone the product of
this year beats that of last by thousands
OF dollars. The SILVER King looks wrll,
also the Dandy and IroquoS. Adelbcrt
Fry developed fine body of ore on the
Grizzly. These mines are on Toad
mountain, near Nelson. Two miles west,
on the same belt, are the Morning and
Evening, owned by the Coplen brothers,
:. II. Cross and r.. f.. Alexander. They
have not been able to find tho main ore
chute ON the Morning, as it Is supposed
TO exist by large float boudcrs of ore
the names indicates, lies on
the west slope, catching the
last rays OF the setting sun.
They have let contract to John Bu-
Chanan and j. n. Hope calling for 100
foot tunnel, which will strike the bottom
of shaft forty feet in depth, giving
plenty of ventilation for some time TO
come. A continuation of this tunnel
700 feet will open the vein at n depth of
800 feet. All of the work will be ON the
vein. From thirty-iive foot shaft they
have taken out about fifty tons of galena
ore, which will concentrate six to one,
producing S75 in silver, lead and gold to
each ton of concentrates.
The Tough Nut, located as an extern
sion of the Evening, turns out some very
rich rock III gray copper and galena;
also large quantity OF concentrating
ore, the vein carrying mineral from wall
to wall, as Is the case more than half u
mile in length. A tunnel shows up the
vein for distsnce of 100 feet. Continuing
of the Tough Nut tunnel through the
Evening will develop one half mile of
mining. ground to depth OF Il quarter of
mile or more. How is that for stop
ping ground" you old miners? A
stream with ample power to run large
Concentrators-and several or them
flows by the natural dumping ground
for oil tho rock that can be taken from
this continuous mineral vein. This sum
mer the Tough Nut was bonded and
worked with six men Tor ninety days,
but failing to raise the necessary $50, 900,
the bond was forfeited. Soon after, how
ever, Mr.. Hendrix purchased Sandy
Morrow's half interest with the intcn-
tion of developing to the fullest extent.
A steam driIl will be in operation this
fall on the property. There is no boom
in the Kootcnni country. Tho miners
must expect to show up the mineral, and
the country will surely come out on its
own merits.
