rainier MOUNTAIN district.
Encouraging reports come from the
White Cross mine, located on the Mos.
cow mountain. seven miles east of Mos
COW. ~
The Poland China mine, four miles
and half north Of Chesaw, near Mary
Ann creek, continues to improve with
depth.
Every indication points to a rush to
the new Mascot mining camp in the
Hoodoo district as soon as the snow
leaves the ground.
Encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from the Silver Plate mining
Company's property in the Seven Dew
lis distrist, Idaho.
The sensation of the past week in
Butte circles has been the sale of the
Spectator mine to the Amalgamated
company for 100000.
The hex mine six miles from Sump-
ter, the sale Of which for 100000 to
Col. w. s. Ray, a Canadian banker
was recently chronicled, has reverted
to its original owners, Arthur Hill OF
Michigan and Simcoe Chapman of
Sumpter.
Samples Of ore from the Blue Bird
mine In the Pend d'Oreille district
show banded, dark-looking quartz,
and some of 1t is extremely rich in ma
tive silver and gray copper. In many
respects 1t resembles the rich silver
ore found in the Goldbug mine near
Greenwood, B. G.
While much prominence has been
given to the Review and Poland China
mines, In the Meyers Creek mining dis
trict, there are many others which
have been under steady development
for several years and have most yalu-
able showings.
Mining companies operating in the
Pierre Lake district all state that they
can feel the effects o. the reports cir
culated of the richness of the First
Thought. it being now easier to raise
development funds, and several new
camps that have been idle are prepar-
ing to resume development.
The Hunter mine at Mullan has been
absorbed by the Morning Mining Com
several months past, and when the an
nouncement was made it caused no sur
prise. The price paid is not known,
but will go into the six figures. With
this addition the Morning will be one
of the greatest producers of silver in
the district.
Deer Greek district is located on the
southwestern slope Of Craig mountain,
in Nee Perez county, Idaho, and the
original discoveries are located about
two and half miles from Salmon river
on Deer creek. About 40 men are now
actively engaged in developing proper
ties in the district.
The Diadem and Brindle Horse
claims, at Sumpter, owned by Charles
Warren and j. K. Pardee of Philips
burg, Mont, are reported to have
shown rich and increased values with
late development work. The property
is located in the rich Bonanza district.
The development is under the supervis-
ion of Charles G. Bonner, a well-known
mine superintendent and operator of
Butte, Mont.
Several deeds were filed for record
recently conveying fractional interests
in the Alhambra group of claims to
John A. Finch of Spokane, who is act
ing as trustee for the Alhambra Mining
Company. The property Of this COM
pany consists of about a dozen claims
up near the summit of the St. Joe
range Of mountains, short distance
east of Wardner, and presumably car
rying a continuation of the veins that
have made the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van famous.
Drifting on the various veins in the
Palmer Mountain tunnel for the past
month has been particularly satisfac-
tory, and the past week has opened up
in the 18th vein fine body of ore, fill
ing the face, and how much wider as
yet undetermined. At the Bull Frog
they continue to hoist good ore. The
Black Bear Is continuing in high-class
ore in the 150-foot slopes and drift,
and the mill and f1ume are nearing
completion.
In 1898 there were 112,500 tons of
and crude ore shipped
from the Ceur d'Alenes, but this year
will show an enormous increase over
that IL the estimate made by one of
the leading mill superintendent. The
estimate of the monthly output by this
after the newer mills are all
running is as follows, in tons per
month: Standard, Mammoth and Gem,
1000; Buffalo Hump (Tiger-Poorman),
1000; Hecla, 1000; Frisco Con-, $500;
5000; Hunter, 600; Sixteen to
One, 900; Bunker Hill and Sullivan,
$500; Last Chance, 100; total, 1880.
To this must be added the shipments
from minor properties. The Silver
King alone IS shipping from $50 to 900
tons per month, and there are a num-
Der of others.
w. A. Clark is driving his long cross
cut tunnel on Sunset peak ahead stead
lily, and will probably have his concen-
traitor between Wallace and Mullan
built before the end of the year, but it
will not be in time of produce much
until the end of the GEN.
