UP IN IDAHO.
What the Silver City Avalanche Has
to Say of the Mines.

Dewey Tunnel.-WO rk upon the
Dewey cross-cut tunnel. which is being
driven to tap the heart of Florida
mountain. is progressing. steadily A
contract was let g. few weeks ago for
an additional 200 feet.
/ Nugget.-The lessees upon this prop
erty are rushing work upon the cross
cut tunnel and are in close proximity
to the vein.
Trade Dolar.-A hoist for the shaft
in the Blaine tunnel is now en- route.
and as soon as it is installed the vein
will be opened at greater depth. The
station for the machinery has been
made ready. The Trade Dollar is max
ing regular and heavy shipments each
month. and is producing more money
than ever before in its history.
Golden StaSe.--NegOtiati0ns are in
progress looking toward the settlement
of all misunderstanding between the
co-owners. and it is more than proba-
BILE that work will be resumed upon the
property within q very short time.
Black Jack--The contract for sinking
the first 40 feet of shaft from the
Idaho tunnel level. is well under way
1t is expected that a. hoist of some de-
scription will be installed by the tine
this contract is completed. The COM
pany is still undecided as to what
power they will adopt-steam, cleo
tricity or compressed air
Morning Star.-Mention was made a
few weeks since that the hanging wall
OF the shaft had changed from granite
TO porphyry. and that the vein began
making ore from that point. Sinking
has been steadily progressing. and the
ore body has been improving with
depth. The dip of the ledge. which has
heretofore been to the west. has now
changed To the east, making the hang
ing wall the foot wall. This fact, in
conjunction with the heavy flow of
water, has about decided the manage
mept to start a level at their present
depth. about so feet below the fourth.
Another reason for this is that the ore
chute cut in the fourth level north has
southerly trend and has been cut in
the shaft They can now open this
chute to advantage. and the chances
are favorable for taking out consider
able money. The ore is all of good mill
ing value and a large percentage is in
gold. The gold value seems to increase !
with depth.
Poorman.-The new gasoline hoist is
working very satisfactorily, and makes /
an economical power The engine is /
located in the Belle Peck level, about |
1000 feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
and is 12-horse-pow horizontal |
type.
