Sampling Works.

Bonner's Ferry needs sampling
works and there is no reason why
the town should not have it. We
have a central location for all the
mines Of the East and Upper Koot-
enai, the SLOGAN, Lardo, Priest Riv-
er aud Kootenai Lake country. In
addition to this, we will undoubted-
ly get port entry, SO that all ores
will have 10 be sampled here to esti-
mate the duty.
Land will be donated to anyone
who will come in and build the
works, and some one is going to
take advantage of the location.
The advantages to Bonner's Fer
ry of sampling works, aside from
running the institution, will con-
sist in this, that the value of ores
will be estimated mere and smelter
men will come here and buy ores
and pay the money out here, max
ing it a sort of headquarters.

"In the fall of 1891, as we have al
ready stated, the American pros
pector first entered the SLOGAN; win
ter put stop to operations, but
enough had been seen to prove the
wealth of the country, and in the
spring they returned in increased
numbers, followed by the shrewd
Yankee seeking a new field for in
vestment.
'In a country where hardly a
trail existed in the spring of this
year, contracts have been let for
the hauling out Of over 1000 tons
of ore as follows: Freddy Lee, 1000;
Idaho, 1000; Blue Bird, 400; Mon
tezuma, 200; sundry claims, 500
tons. Had it been possible to con
struct the necessary roads, etc,
10000 tons of ore could have been
shipped to American smelters dur
ing the winter. There are between
700 and 800 claims recorded in the
district, three-fourths Of which are
in American hands.
"Some of the Canadian papers
are commencing to cry out against
Americans obtaining such a hold
upon British territory, but, so far
from agreeing with them, your cor
respondents consider the Americans
are richly entitled to what their en-
terprise is winning for them, and
may they continue to come in in
creased numbers, for, humiliating
though it may be for a British sub

that Americans have the energy

Though minerals were known
to exist in the SLOGAN for years

GROUSE MOUNTAIN.
This district is probably one of
the most extensive mineral belts
known in this part of the country.
So far but little development work
has been done, but in the spring
the camp will be taken hold of by
moneyed men and many producing
properties made before fall. The
surface showing in this district is re-
markable, and ore has been traced
for many miles. The character of
this ore is such that it can be
shipped without concentration, and
as it contains considerable carbon
ate of iron, is also desirable ore for
smelters.
The grade of ore from this dis
trict that can be shipped at profit
will run from % ounces to 80 ounces
silver per ton, with from go to 70
per cent. lead. This camp is hand
lily situated, being only seven miles
distant from the Great Northern
railroad, with a level country from
the railroad to the mines. Next
season will see many properties be-
ing developed and many tons of ore
shipped that will make this country
worthy Of note.
ON THE YAKH.
The Yakh river flows into the
Kootenai from the north, the oppo
site direction from the other creeks
mentioned. About II miles from
its mouth are some rich placer'
which have been worked for tive
years. Several locations of higl
grade galena have also been mad,
in the past two years. Some deyel
opment work has been done, anC
the lodges, which are small on tn,
surface, give promise of widening
J out into good large veins.
ON LIBBY CREEK.
Before the completion Of tn
Great Northern railroad very littl
was known or heard of the Libb,
, Greek mining district except by
few individuals who had beel
: steadily at work on placers an,
/ realized handsome profits therefrom
Placers had been worked on LIB
; Greek as early as 1864 and hav
been worked at a profit from time t
time ever since and at present ther
: are in all probability 80 men EN-
ployed in that vocation. The gol
taken from these placers is extreme
ly fine and is worth from $3.50 t
$40 per ounce.
Veins of ore have been known t
exist in this section, probably fC
thirty year.spast, but being an isol'
= ted country where none but tt
most hardy prospector dare to vel
ture, and owing to the inconveI
fence of getting in supplies, togetl
err with the distance from transpo

care to create a boom and wished to
see the mines come out on their
merits. The camp today is known
to contain many valuable proper
ties, with many thousands of tons
OF ore in sight, and next season
will commence active operations.
Concentrators will be erected in the
spring on many of these properties
and many tons of crude ore and
concentrates will be shipped to the
smelter for treatment. This will
show to the outside world that a
mining camp exists in this part of
the country that will in a short
time rank second to none in Mon
tana.
Tho ores are Of a character to in
duce capital to invest readily in the
district. The great advantage Of
the ores Of this section is in the
amount of gold found in combina-
sion with the galena, and it is not
an uncommon occurance to find as
says as high as $400 per ton in that
metal. Whatever depth has been
obtained, without an exception the
ores are found to run much higher
in gold, and also show a marked in
crease in their silver values. AS
says from this district range all the
way from 8 ounces to 80 ounces in
silver; from IS to $40 in gold, and
from 10 per cent. to 25 per cent in
lead. This character of ore is con
centrating. The clean ore from the
district ranges from 20 ounces to
500 ounces in silver per ton, with
from 65 to 81 per cent lead.
The main contact, carefully stud
led, is remarkable, and wherever
located is found to be ofgreat width
on the surface, and is found in
several places to be over 100 feet
wide. The contact is composed Of
dolimite lime on the west side
which forms the foot wall of the
main ore vein, with quartzite Oh
the east and slate filling in between
In this slate are found many paral
lei leads intersected by cross leads
t for the distance Of aehundred fee
: from the main vein Of ore. Thest
? veins are all the way from si1
Z inches two three feet in width, anC
all contain ore Of good quality
while the main vein Of ore average
3 from two to 20 feet in thickness.
The supposition is that whei
depth is obtained these parable
= veins will form into one immens
8 ore vein. The contact has been 10

h miles, and is found to traverse tn
e country in northwerterly an

north Of Bonner's Ferry, presents a
most inviting field to the capitalist
who wishes to invest his money in
extensive mining propositions.
The lodges are mostly low grade
but the quantity of ore is immense.
Long before the SLOGAN was heard
of, it was the judgement Of sound
mining men that the upper Koot-
enai was rich enough in itself to es
tablish the fame of the Kootenai
country as great mining country.
Low Grade camps do not develope
with the same rapidity as high
grade, but they are usually more
permanent. Such camps do not
create stampedes, but they usually
pay dividends for longer term of
years when the ore bodies are of
great magnitude. And capitalists
generally prefer the low grade prop
ositions, the quantity making up
for the quality.
Looking at the Upper Kootenai
from the above standpoint, the coun-
try has great promise. Boulder,
Grouse Mountain, Yahk, Callahan,
Libby and other camps Of more or
less prominence will some day be
the scenes Of of extensive operations,
and that day is not far distant.
Extensive development work is be-
ing pushed right along in most of
these camps, and smelters and con
centrators ore in sight for the COM
ing summer. When once the
camps have demonstrated what
they can do, larger capital will be-
come interested and Upper Kooten-
al will then become one Of the fam
GUS ore producing regions of the
world. 1t would be simply impos-
sible for the HERALD 10 cover all
the camps with detailed descrip-
ton, but the following will be found
to give a good general idea of the
various camps:
BOULDER CREEK.
The first camp of any note in this
section is at Boulder, Is miles east
Of Bonner's Ferry. Work has been
going on in this section for -four
years past and at present there are
several fne-developed properties
The ores are principally lead anC
silver and are Of high grade, tn,
principal part being concentrating
In the spring a concentration will b,
erected at this place and mining
will be carried on on a more exten
sive scale.
The principal company operating
in this camp is the Boulder Creel
Company, operated by Iowa CAPT
talists. They have expended near
ly $4,000 in development work
Their principal claim is the Eurek
which they have tapped at dept
of 600 feet. 1t is a four foot ledg
of concentrating ore. They expec
to build a concentrator this summe
and operate the mine themselves
The ore will concentrate three ton
into one, and Mr.. e. J. Merlin, tn
manager, figures net profit c
$3.50 per ton On the ore, and cor
sidering the quantity exposed, tn
Eureka is certainly great mine.
