cent date:
Mining operations In this section
of the Upper Lemhi have kept about
even pace with former years and
with very encouraging results. Ore
shipments have been frequent and
although the profit side OF the ledger
is not extravagantly large, the line of
development makes very creditable
sum. The Winnie company has been
drifting and sinking on its large
body of silyer-lead ores opened up
over year since, and their gasoline
hosting works ale being taxed To
their fullest capacity.
The company has, 1t is understood,
put up winter quarters, have a force
OF dozen miners at work and will
push development hence forward
without let or hindrance. The claims
held by the company are SO grouped
that they can be operated from the
same dumping stand through sue
cessive adits and can therefore carry
a large force with corresponding out
put upon demand. 1t has the quality
and quantity of the shipping class to
justify their highest estimates, a
carload of ore per day, at its present
state of development. Adjoining
claim owners, and there are dozens
of them, have been quite active In
developing their locations, and taken
altogether, South Spring Mountain
has made good average material
advancement for the season.
In the central portion of the dis
trict, where the large iron-copper.
gold properties are located, besides
the regular usual labor required, con
siderable development work has beer
done. The large iron dykes are de
veloping into immense veins OF cop
per sulphide ore carrying high values
in gold. Their extent and width,
have not In any wise yet been de
termined In 40, 50 and 100 foot cross
cut tunnels all in ore. A breas
auarried on the shift of a steep In
cline of the Terror mine, magnets
iron mountain, discloses stringer 0
rich copper sulphides 100 feet II
width. 1t required seven igsl quart
mine locations to cover the area EN-
| braced in and under this crown.
This description and characterize
! ton may appear in a measure incred
ible, but the region is easy OF access
the lodges, reefs and abutting cliff
are uncovered and open to view, an
no charges will be preferred or OF

I ploration and examination.
In the northern portion of the di'
trict our wide-awake friends til
Carlsons and Messrs. Nichols an
Thornton of Fremont county, are do
ing heroic services developing
group of high grade silver properties
They have IA claims, the most
them well advanced In development
have had crew of eight men stea'
ily at work since January last, TUT
Melting and sinking on their centr
holdings; are now putting up wint'
quarters and are pushing ahead In
business-ilke way that will down ar
sign of encouragement. They a
about to incorporate and the stan
ing OF the business, and the respons
bility OF the parties that will
taken into the organization are
sure guarantee OF success and furni
bright outlook for the future.
