, down. No cause has yet been assign
ed. The mine is running as usual.
At depth of 1856 feet ore has been
encountered in the long tunnel of the
Review mine in the Myers creek dist
riot.
A miner from the Belcher mine
shows piece of ore of copper-iron sui
phide softer than chalcopyrite usually
is and probably richer in copper.
1t has leaked out that a well-known
mining man in Republic has been try
ing to get control of the Trail and Ten
derfoot claims for the past six months.
Expert d. G. Jackling has stated
that the crushing machinery of the Re-
public mill was doing all that he ex-
pected of it. AS to the chemical treat
ment he is most confident.
The south drift on The 300-foot lev
ell of the Chico mine is in 1913 feet, still
running on the footwall, but breaking
partly in the vein, which, at the breast,
is said to be looking much better than
usual.
There is deal now on foot at Grand
Forks which in magnitude eclipses any
that has been made in that section. 1t
embraces the consolidation of all the
claims in Franklin camp, and the
floating of them in England.
A shaft has been sunk ON the Alpine
to a depth of fifty feet, and it is the in
tention of the company owning it to
continue until depth of 300 feet has
been reached. The claim lies few
hundred feet east of the Chico.
The ore on Gold Ledge that is being
taken out is of high grade and the face
OF the drift, which is five feet wide, is
all in ore. At 81 feet from the shaft
a cross-cut has been started. 1t has
been driven only about three feet but
is still in ore.
In the San Poll mine the working
force has been removed from the Wine,
now down 70 feet below the No. level,
to the south drift on that level There
IS good body of ore at the bottom of
the winze which Superintendent Crum-
mer reports is very good, with values
increasing. Some of it is very rich in
black sulphuret of silver and assays
up in the hundreds.
BY a fall of loose ground Miles Nc
Neill, mucker in the B. G.. mine at
Summit camp, was instantly killed
last week. N. Green, a shoveler. was
penned in by rock, causing a fracture
of the right thigh. The accident hap

level. 1t took the rescue party two
hours tO ri Craor, rybo boro ~ n
intense suffering with courage.
The Butte & Boston crosscut was
driven lao feet, striking the hanging
wall of the vein at 100 feet and running
Is feet through ledge matter to the
| foot wall. superintendent D. I. Nick
erson states that he came back and ran
80 feet south on the hanging wall and
struck two and one-half feet wide of
handsome quartz. He would say moth

could go on the dump and sake samples

1t is rumored that an important
srike has been made on the King Solo,
mon, near Bolster. A tunnel was
| driven in to strike the lead at depth,
and this is about 225 feet. It is be-
| lieved that this lead has been cut, as

Gently sent to Spokane by telephone for
any loose stock that could be obtained.
An effort to obtain information at the
mine or to personally inspect it
| brought forth refusal from Manager
| McGowen. The mine is owned by Spo-
kane and Cheney parties, and several
| thousand dollars worth of work has
| been done on it.
In connection with the recent strike
on the Reco property at Sandon, J..

| The strike was made on the lowest lev
ell of the property, tunnel having been

Some difficulty was encountered in
finding the lead couple of years elaps-
ing before 1t was definitely located.
| The lead is only II inches wide, but in
places it is solid galena, carrying sill
yer up in the thousands of ounces. At
other points the galena is mixed with
sulphide or porphyry Where the ga
