Another Big Mine.

Mr.. Stephan Haaser, the mining
man, returned Monday from the Rapid
river district. He was impressed with
he richness OF the district visited. The
big irwin ledge of which so much has
been written was found to be II wonder.
1t is a mountain of low grade ore, and
1t assays from trace to about p dol
lars to the ton in gold with a per cent
of copper. This is said to be one of the
biggest mines in tue world, but the
low average grade of - so u ton makes
its value somewhat uncertain. 1t has
been bonded to run sixty days for
so, 900. Carr 4 Parker, of Pierce City
are the tignreheads in the big deal and
they are supposed to represent a syndi-
cate of Michigan capitalists. The value
depends upon the cost Of reducing the
ore. The showing Is grand. The
question OF permanency is eliminated
from the proposition, but the question
of profit is the sticker. A profit of u
few cents per ton means millions. The
ore, though, is new aud an actual test
is necessary to determine the value OF
the mine. Experts believe the ore
will get richer with depth; and it is be-
lieved it can be worked at II profit ut
the present showing.
The mine is 100 miles from Lewiston.
1t will be- "A big smelling proposil ion
and to work it will be to build another
Butte in Idaho. Mr.. Haaser has sucl,
confidence in the future of the mine
that he securel al extension on the
big vein and will await results of de-
ve!opment with great confidence.
