w. T. Hales has taken bond on the
Panhandle group for $4,000 and pro-
poses to begin work on it as soon as he
gets back from Chicago.
The well known Rebecca, the princi-
pal property of the Nespelem district,
South Half, Wash, is reported to be
under expert examination and it is be-
lieved that this may mean resumption
on large scale before long.
Frank e. Jahnesse, superintendent of
the Blue Jacket, the we'll known Finch
& Campbell property on Salmon river,
Idaho, states that the winters work
had given assurance that the Blue Jack
ct is mine and may be great one.
At Loomis, Wash, an option on the
property of the Milwaukee-Palmer
Mountain Gold & Copper Mining COM

given to eastern people. The option is
for 100000 cash and it will expire

At Kellogg, Idaho, very promising
gold quartz discovery was made on Elk
creek few days ago. To learn the ex-
tent of the find will be a part of the
immediate work of AL. Page, who has
bond on the claims an which the dis
covery was made.
The Anaconda, on Red Top Noun
tain, near Colville, Wash, shows
good vein of galena ore of a very high
grade. An average across five feet
of the ledge at a depth of 25 feet gives
nearly 60 per cent of lead and over %
ounces of silver. The ore is easily
handled by a crude smelling process
and will eventually be treated at the
mine in that way.
At Myrtle, Idaho, reports from Up
per Trail creek are that Jerry Savage
and party have recently picked up sew
eral big nuggets, the largest being $43.

will produce $4,000 this year. Every
miner on the creek is wearing a broad
smile and is spending money freely.
Reports have just reached LoomiS
that an important strike has been made
in the Bull Frog tunnel w. B. Reilly,
who brought the news in, stated that
when he was at the mine the miners
had just broken into body of excellent
looking quartz, which had every ap-
pearance of being a large vein and car
rying good values. This is thought to
be the Phantom vein, the objective
point of the tunnel.
The United States Marble company
has become a dividend payer. The first
monthly dividend of quarter cent per
share will be distributed to stockhold-
ers March Is. The company is incor-
porated for 100000 shares and the

the head of st. Regis river, in Montana
just across the Idaho line. the property
