hopefulness by saying:

GOOD THING FOR DIXIE.
A Huge Porphyry Dyke Neal
There to be Developed.


Robert G. Bailey, who returned
to Grangeville last week after
spending five months in the noun
tains in the interests of the Nonpa-
reil Mining and Developing Co., of
Washington, d. c., is getting
together an outfit and supplies and
will return to the mountains in a
few days. He will have charge of
a force Of men who will develop
huge porphyry dyke owned by the
above company. The dyke is loca-
ted on the Salmon River, about Is
miles east of Dixie. The company
owns 13 claims, called the "Printer
Group" and the dyke can be very
clearly traced over the entire group
and is three claims wide. Twelve
samples taken at random on the
surface gave an average return of
over 50 to the ton, and float rock
picked up on the ground owned by
the company has given returns as
high as 5000 to the ton. There are
small quartz stringers running in
all directions through the dyke,
and as a usual thing these are very
rich.
The dyke is really mountain of
ore, and in the process of working
it will be quarried rather than
DEVELOPED by tunnel or shaft. The
property is ideally located, being at
an altitude of only about 5000
feet, and a mill can pound away
the entire year without interference
by snow or excessively cold weather
There is an abundance of water for
oil purposes, including power.
The claims are about 10 miles
from the Elk City-Dixie wagon
road, and good trail connects the
two. The trail can be enlarged to
the dimensions of a wagon road at
very small expense.
Mr.. Bailey is very enthusiastic
about the future OF the property,
and says the company he represents
will push active development work
this winter with a view to erecting
mill next summer. The stock.
holders in the company are al
eastern men.
Judging the property by Others
of like character which are being
worked and are on paying basis
it is safe to predict that if deel
! development shows the dyke t.
carry average values of s2-ant
from the surface showing it shoult
be better--it will be one of the big
{ gest things, from mining stand
o point, to be found in the west
= The ore can be treated at tota
cost of perhaps so or 60 cents
ton, as no waste material whateve
will have to be handled.
j 1t is the intention Of the compan
e to first treat the ore in a STAN
4 mill and then cyanide the concen
r trates. BY this means it is expecte
Q to save almost the entire assa
l. value. The ore is free milling
