AT PARKER MOUNTAIN

Good reports continue to come
from Parker Mountain. Last
week C. A. Goss arrived in town
and he is fully satisfied with the
mines that his company have
under bond. He, with his broth
er w. H. Goss, are in charge of
the property recently obtained
by the United States company of
Utah. They report the property
under development by their com
pany is making a good showing,
and from a mere prospect of less
than three months ago, today
the Parker is developing into a
great mine. The ore bodies have
been found in place and the ledg
es are becoming wider as depth
is obtained.
There are fully 100 locations
in the district, but at present no
work to speak of is being done
outside that done by the United
States company. lAll are wait
ing to see how that property is
going to develop. The ore in
the district is all of the same
character, and much of it runs
very high in gold values. 1t re
sembles very much the ore taken
from the old Custer mine in au
early day mine that has pro
millions of dollars.
Parker camp is less than six
months old, but it is a healthy
infant for its age. Last week
the Youngstown, Ohio, another
strong company. gained foot
hold, taking the Ed. Williams
group under bond for a big sum
of money.
Parker has a bright outlook,
1t is located * miles northwest
of Challis and has good wagon
road 10 miles of the distance.

of the mining end of the enter
prise, as general manager, hav-
ing succeeded ]. A. Czizek, who
recently resigned as manager of
the company to attend to other
enterprises.
Excepting assessment work
and some small crews of two or
three men at different points,
the Lost Packer is the only COM
pany that is doing anything in
mining development at the pres
ent time in the Loon creek dis
trict, yet there are 300 locations
on record with the local record
er, and a number of them have
very handsome surface show
ings. The ores discovered in
this camp are largely of the
same character as those of the
Lost Packer, namely rich gold
bearing copper sulphides and
several of the showings are fully
equal in size and value at the
surface to what the Lost Packer
was at it's discovery, and figure
their gold values by the ounce.
Their owners, however, all seem
70 be lying back for the Lost
Packer company to put the seal
of success on the camp. That
company has had to bear the
burden single handed of the
opening of the district to wagon
transportation, and it certainly
deserves great credit for its en-
terprise.
The Lost Packer at this date
is a vigorous yong bonanza that
is commencing to sit up and be
noticed by some of the most
prominent copper mining talent
in the United States, and, from
the numerous handsome show
ings of the same high grade gold
copper sulphide ore that has
been found over an area 10 miles
square in the Loon creek tribu-
taries, it is safe to predict that
the Lost Packer is not alone in
that extensive field and that,
when several other similar sur
face showings have been as ex-
tensively developed. other i'm
/ portant bodies of rich mineral
will be disclosed and a rich and
populous gold copper camp es-
tabiished.

mine at Loon creek, says the
Boise Statesman. He was as
tonished at the showing in the
property, his impressions being
shown. in the following statement
made by him
"The most important mining
development of the year in Gus
ter county is the Lost Packer
mine at Loon creek. Custer
county has bullion record in
gold, silver, lead and copper, of
fully $50, 900, 1000. 1t has many
famous bonanza ore showings
during the 80 years of it's mining
history, but it is not an exagger-
ated statement to say that the
Lost Packer equals, if it does
not exceed in it's present young
stage of development. the best
showing of rich ore this county
ever had.
''The Lost Packer is at once a
bonanza gold mine and bonan-
"a copper mine and would afford
profitable results for the extrac-
tion of other metal. It's princi-
pal development, in brief, prac-
tically exposes an ore body 10 to
Is feet wide carrying continu-
GUS rib, or pay streak that is six
inches to five feet wide, of mass
live chalcopyrite ore that will
safely average two feet wide by
500 feet in length, and 400 feet
in proven depth, carrying two
to five ounces gold and 10 to 20
per cent copper. The big body
of low grade ore accompanying
it carries average values of two
to three per cent copper and S.
to so in gold.
This rib of bonanza ore is
very clearly defined, very strong
at both ends of the development,
both north and south in the dir
ection of the vein, and also in
the bottom going down. 1t has
a free cleavage with slickensid-
led surfaces that, in places, are
polished like a mirror on the
massive copper mineral it con
tains.
The vein has been opened
carrying some high vlues, at a
point 800 feet distant, and BOZ
feet verbally lower down the
mountain, and the Lost Packer
company's property covers the
apex line of this bonanza ore
course for fully 5000 feet along
its strike, and through a vertica
range of fully 1900 feet, all o
which is available for adit tun
mel development.
THE vein is a true fissure
! cutting the general bedding o
the formation, which is princi
pally an intrusive granite of thu
aplite variety, which must have
a congenial sound to the heav,
Butte stockholders of this prop
erty, for aplite is one of the tw'
principal formations of the fam
Gus Montana copper camp.

that carries gold values OF 81 or
So per ton, presenting possibili-
ties of wider or bodies and more
extensive naturalization when it
has penetrated under that part
of the mountain.
A deep adit tunnel is planned
by the company TO be run by
machine drills this winter which
will undercut the present de-
velopment at great depth.
This tunnel site is only a short
distance above the level of the
company's smelter, and near the
local drainage level of the vein
where it crosses Canyon creek,
and is likely TO open a mine of
unusual merit and value, as the
vein shows exceptional evidence
of staying qualities to great
depth at every point it has been
opened so far. The length of
its ore shoots still remains to be
proven, and the way the high
values have been maintained has
astonished everybody connected
with the enterprise. Especially
is this true as to its gold values.
The character of the pay ore
is massive chalcopyrite associ-
ated with an occasional sprinkle
of silver, white bismuth sui
phide, and spots of gray copper
and sometimes found mixed with
the rarer sulphides. Native
gold specimen ore is occasional
ly found that give assay results
of twenty to fifty ounces in gold
per ton.
The company has smelter
of 100 tons daily capacity, just
about completed, and it expects
to start it up by November /, for
a months run. Should this run
be successfully carried out it
should produce an output OF gold
and silver bearing copper matt
that should pay back the total
cost of the Investment and a big
dividend besides, for it is hard
to find an average sample in the
pay vein that runs less than two
ounces gold or 10 per cent cop
per.
THE smelter is a strictly mod
ern plant of 100 tons daily cap
acity. Jacketed to the feed floor.
1t is intended to use a comprom-

therefore the opinion of the members
of the clearing house that troops
should be called out.
The sheriff Is determined to take
the situation in hand himself, declar
ing that until he has done SO he will
not be justified in calling for the
militia.
Notwithstanding the constant fight
ing in the streets and the numerous
attacks made upon non-union men,
the large dry goods houses and whole
sale grocers report that they were
steadily making progress and increas'
ing their shipments, while the strikers
are equally confident of success.
There was less disturbance Thurs.
day in the wholesale district, but the
fighting went on with it's usual persist
ence and viciousness in the heart OF
the fashionable shopping district. A
number of non-union men were
dubbed and beaten and their wagon
guards and the police retaliated with
vigor upon the rioters. In every in
stance the crowds were dispersed
after a brief scrimmage, which was,
however, in several cases of rather
sharp character.
The number of injured was from all
accounts about the same as that OF
the previous two days. About 30 or
40 men have been cared for at the
various hospitals and there are fully
as many more who have received med
ical attendance and whose names are
not known to the police.
