John Tormey has spent some ten
years OF hard work in making good
copper mine on the mountain side
southeast OF Salmon. He has driven
several Thousand feet Of tunnel and
exposed bonanza copper ore body.
He has been 80 quiet about his work
that his peighbors have not realized
the Importance of his proposition.
He will begin the shipment of ore
during the summer, 50 his light can
not be hidden any longer.
w. b. Mckinney, who Is making a
mine on the mountain side facing
the Salmon river, near Diamond
creek, eight miles below the city,
came In Saturday. lie has one OF
the finest ore-hodies In the district.
lie has done extensive aud practical
development, which shows we'll
defined lead at great depth. lie has
prepared his mine for mill without
sounding OF trumpets. The tirst
buyer OF mine that finds this prop
erty will get excited as sure as the
world.
The King Solomon Mine on the
Leesburg mountain is being we'll de-
veloped 10y the owners Messrs. pabst
Brothers and Stethem. AT least 80
600 WORTH of work has been done in
tunnels on this mine. There are
som. 1900 tons of ore In sight that
will mill ten -dollars on the plates,
A new tunnel has been driven on this
mine which will give 200 feet more
depth. The lead is now due in this
new tunnel. This will give us new
mine Of much importance for the
year 1906. The King Solomon is
within eigth miles OF the city limits.
; Peter Swan, the we'll known min
er and prospcctui, was in the city
from Blackbird aud Rabbit Foot this
week. lie purchased complete
prospecting outfit In the shape OF u
team and buck board, Just snited foi
mountain travel. lie has good
mine in the upper Salmon belt which
. he has been keeping In reserve TIL
the tines were right for presenting
, it fol sale, lie discovered II som'
years ago and covered up the crop
pings To wait the demand for such
property, and lie thinks that tim,
has come.
+ The prospector should always b,
guided by the gossan in his searcl
for copper and lead. These metal
are leached by the surface exposure
! and no trace of the lost values ma
a remain in the altered groupings.
9 fine quartz vein may be entirely re
placed by an iron cropping. Tie ex
posed gossan may be massive o
honey-combed. and at few fee
from the surface the lead matter ma
take decompused form that canno
= be recognized These groupings an
: changes are peculiar to certain dis
tficts, and the only guide is the ex
perience derived from other working
' ural changes at depth.
