Still they Come.


The Interstate Mining & Mil
ling company, organized at Asctin
Wash. under the laws of that
state, is the attest addition to Elk
City's steadily growing list of
mining companies. This company
was organized to operate the Lib
erty group, comprising six claims
situated near the confluence of
the Crooked and Clearwater riv-
ers, and owned by George Esh
and Billie Allen. The capital
stock is 100000 shares, about
half of which will be placed in
the treasury. The outstanding
stock will be pooled for two years.
In fact, every detail is being ar
ranged with an eye single to
making the enterprise thor
oughly legitimate proposition.
The mineral deposit is a dyke,
said to be similar in all respects
to the Hogan property,

to build smelters in place Of mills
where it would be impossible to
successfully operate a smelter on
the material available. A smelter
requires not only an abundance
of ore, but also usually a large
amount of iron oxide and lime
for fux and unfortunately the
f1uX is generally devoid of other
values than those of a chemical
nature which is suitable for fux.
1t is a serious mistake to equip a
mine with a reduction plant be-
fore the mine is prepared to
supply a sufficient amount Of ore
to keep the plant in steady oper-
alton, but it is a much more ser
ious an inexcusable- mistake,
in this day, to build a smelter
when mill is required, or vice
versa, and worse still to put in a
reduction plant of any kind where
none at all is needed. Still these
things are being done constantly;
each year sees chronicled the
usual number Of failures where a
competent management may
have made a success. There is
an old saying to the effect that
a little knowledge is dangerous,
and it is fully exemplifed in the
man who builds a smelter on a
mine which should have a mill.

Gold Dove Group.

This property is situated at the
head of French gulch, close to
the top of the divide between
Red river and Red Horse creek.
1t consists of three claims and
was located in 1902 by John Mas
som, j. B. Henniger, J. R. Vent,
Pat Bremen and Hugh McCool.
Sinceits discovery there has been
a tunnel run on the ledge a dis
tance of 230 feet, besides numer-
Gus crosscuts, showing the ledge
to average over five feet in width
with a pay streak of very rich
ore accompanying it the entire
length of the tunnel, which varies
in width from six inches to three
feet, till the main ore shoot is
encountered when it widens to
13 feet. This body gives values
exceeding $40 per ton, generally
free. The development contem-
plated for this winter consists of
a 60-foot winze and an upraise to
the surface, a distance of 70 feet,
which will be opened about mid
way;of the tunnel between portal
and breast, and will be carried
through three feet Of high grade
decomposed ore which will be
screened as taken out, and thai
Of sufficient fineness will be cyan.
ided. Construction of vats fol
that purpose will be begun i'm.
mediately. A large timber shed
and blacksmith shop has beer
built recently in place Of the one
destroyed last summer by fire.
The extreme depth attained thus
far, which is on the main ore
shoot, escapes the writer's mem
ory, but it is greatly in excess o1
100 feet. It is safe to. say thai
with the future developments
carried out as planned, the Cole
Dove will be classed among the
producing mines of the camp anC
Idaho county.

WILL BE THINGS A DOM
On the Hillside Group in the Spring, Says
Manager E. F. Gordon.

Mr.. E. F. Gordon, superinten-
dent of the Hillside group on
Big creek, returned from a trip
to Portland where he went in the
interest of his company a short
time ago. Mr.. Gordon reports
meeting with the most fattering
success and is, if possible, more
enthusiastic than ever. To the
request that he give the MINING
News an outline of the company's
operations in the near future, his
experience on the trip out to the
claims ETC., Mr.. Gordon said:
I'VE have had a very success
tul trip Going in a week ago
was the hardest ten miles. of
snowshoeing in soft snow. Mr..
Hawthorn stood up to it like an
old timer, however, and every
thing has come out according to
schedule. R. Puelz arrived from
Cripple Creek the evening before
we started back, to perform his
annual work ON the Helen Gould
group of claims, which gave us
ia broken trail to come out ON.
1t is an inspiring sight to see
the vast preparations that the
great Hogan mine is making for
their new 500-ton cyanide plant.
With the definite results that
they have obtained by their most
exhaustive series oftests which
extend over a period of. four
years of careful experimenting,
we can all look forward with the
certainty Of a bright future fo1
this portion Of Central Idaho.

claim. This tunnel is now in
nearly 300 feet, and in that dis
tance we have tapped two good
ore shoots. We shipped 1883
pounds of this ore to the Tacoma
smelter which showed a value in
gold of S28 per ton, exceptionally
free milling. Recently we start
ed a tunnel on the 400 foot level
on the Ironclad claim. This ledge
is 35 feet wide on the surface,
with thirteen feet. of solid and
high grade quartz on the hanging
wall side. We are now in nearly
Is feet with this latter tunnel,
and the showing we have is very
gratifying to all concerned. The
entire tunnel is in ore of "a very
high grade. Samples taken from
any part of this. tunnel, which is
also true Of the Buffalo Chief,
pans extremely we'll. We are
able to get from three to 25 cents
to the pan, and have never got.
ten a skunk as yet. In all, we
have now about 800 feet of tun.
mel on our properties, every foo
of it being in ore.
Besides doing the develop
ment work, we have built a very
substantial bunk and cook house
blacksmish shop and other small
Ter buildings.
1t is the purpose Of the com
pany to get the machinery in fol
10-stamp mill before the snow il
off next spring.

''The Hillside Mining & Milling
company's properties which we
went to inspect, are situated hine
miles southwesterly from the
Hogan mine, at Orogrands They
consist of seven quartz and one
placer claim. The main dyke of
this proposition is over 100 feet
wide, all carrying values. The
two walls, hanging and foot,
have concentrated pay streaks
from four to eight feet wide with
average values of SIP per ton in
gold. This great reef is opened
along its strike at intervals for
1000 feet, every opening showing
strong bodies of pay ore, which
can all be reduced on the ground
and the values practically all ex-
tracted. Our company is in fine
shape financially and otherwise.
We propose to get in hand all
the resources necessary to make
a thoroughly developed mine be-
fore we start work, so that when
we do start, success will be as
sured. The present development
proves beyond a doubt that there
is a rich mine to be had by COM
petent and systematic develop
ment. Next spring as soon as
the roads are dry and good, we
expect to start our work, when
we will have favorable weather
conditions. 1000 feet of tunnel
ing and prosecuting and we will
be ready for our reduction plant.
This proposition will be paying
dividends within twelve months
from the time work is started. "

Cabin and Tenderfoot groups.
Several of the groups, notably
the Wampum, embraces several
claims.
The case was hotly contested
by the miners and came up this
time on a rehearing on their
showing that at the previous
hearing, when a finding was
found for the company, sufficient
notice had not been given them,
inasmuch as the notice of publi-
cation was printed in the st.
Maries Courier. The Courier was
claimed to have been the paper
nearest to the land, but as the
miners lived in another county
they did not see the paper and
the publication notice. The no
tice Of publication for a rehearing
was printed at Wallace. Coeur

A letter to the MINING News
from P. E. Stookey, receiver for
the American Eegle Consolidated
Gold Mining company, says the
court has made an order extend
ing the time for the sale of that
property from December Both to
January 81, 1905. This was done
to give the company a chance to
meet the Indebtedness itself,
which, it is understood, they are
prepared to do.

ings are concerned. And otfef
thing, you are laboling tnder s
misapprehension if you uifdeN
stand that your district has a bad
name in Portland or on the coast.
Such is not the case. The trouble
has been. that this country is not
at all widely known. Happily,
this condition is being rapidly
overcome through the efforts Of
the MINING News. which is rap
idly acquiring a standing of the
highest order ai'long the rank

Hawthorn, will be my future

DID NOT APPEAL.
Local Land Office Decision in Land
Case Stand.

Case Stand.
Saturday was the last day the
Northern Pacific had to file an
appeal from the local land office
in the case of some valuable min
ing claims in Shoshone county,
hearing upon which was heard
October 18th and decision rem
dered in favor Of the land re-
naming under she mineral clas-
sification. On account Of the
number Of mining groups on the
land in question the decision was
an important one and it was
thought the railroad company
would appeal to the general land
Office in its effort to haye the
tract declared non-mineral.
However, the decision does not
effect the whole territory in the
region over which there is con-
troversy, the attorneys for the
miners and railroads agreeing
that the outcome of the present
case should be confined to those
lands upon which rights had been
taken under the mineral act. The
whole region which the railroad
company desires declared non
mineral embraces some 20 town
ships. The land upon wh1Sb

that the yellow peril cry is utterly unfounded The
doctor says:
According to the unanimous testimony of unpre-
JUDGED observers, three times many persons are
required for the kind of work in Japan as Eng
land. One English spinner with assistant looks
after two frames of 300 spindles each self
actor of 900 spindles while the Japanese Tor Chese1
spinner only looks after 200 to 300 spindles. The
English spinner loses So per of his knot
ting the broken threads while the Japanese loses IS
per cent In consequence, the English spind,es
twice as fast as the Japanese spindles It is the
same in weaving In Massachusetts, girl attends
to six LOOMS Lancashire, to four; but in Japan only
to one. This slowness appears not only in machine
mining, etc.
The average japanese hates continuous hard
work; ne does not care how long his hours are if he
can work lelsurely. Every few minutes he stops to
sing chat, smoke, sip tea If the work-giver tries
to stop such dallying by punishments he

It's regularity and precision and because destroys
artistic individuality. The workman will always pre-
tor the less expeditions hand work. if he can. An
immense amount OF material moreover is lost through
the carelessness of the workers.
