NJ. H. Lipman of Haley, Ida, is in
the city and is stopping nj the Wilson
hotel, Mr. Lipman is treasurer and
manager of the Lipman Tunnel and
Mines company at Bullion, in the Wood
River district of Idaho. In speaking
of his operations to The Tribune. he
said that he had ordered a karns drill,
ing machine with which TO run the
tunnel, which Will be one mile in length
and viii tap the ore veins of all the
prominent mines in the district. among
which are the Bullion, Mayfower, f..
Gould. o. X, Red Elephant and tho
Lipman group of claims, situate in the
center OF these mines. The Red Ele-
phant is on the west and the Bullion
and Mayfower on the east

satisfactory results. The mill on the
Red Elephant which treats the ore. is
doing fine work and making money for
the company, most of whom arc Salt
Lake parties. Besides the above. Mr..
Lipmau says. there are others being
worked successfully.
The ldahan, which has produced over
million dollars, and the Minnie Moore.
which has produced over eight million
dollars, are now putting down double
compartment shaft. under the manage
meut of f. l. Rockwell. The shaft
will be sunk To a depth of 1900 feet
vertically by electric power, Mr.. Rock
well has bought the Queen of the Hills
mne, with a past record of n million
and a half dollars, which adioins the
Minnie Moore, and the shaft will be
used in the exploitation to depth of
both mines.
''It is our intention said Mr.. Lip
man, 'as soon as we can get the Harms
drill in position, the grading for which
has already been done, to begin work
at once. The tunnel will be ono of
double compartment, so that those great
mines can he drained, the water from
which will he used for concentrating,
as ii is the purpose of the Lipman Tun-
mel company TO erect concentration
large enough to treat all the concentrat.
ing ores prodnced in these mines. This
is q cross-cut tunnel and will cut five
distinct veins forwarded from the north.
. The ores Of the Bullion district arc
widely and famously known for their
high grade, hunning as they do from
90 to 50 per cent lead, and from 100 10
300 ounces silver per ton. The past
record of tho Bullion district in Wood
River in the output Of its ores is over
twenty million dollars. All this ore
has been extracted from a depth of
not to exceed two hundred and fifty
feet. except in the Minnie Moore. which
is 1900 feet ou the incline of the vein,
about % degrees. The mining activity
in Wood River country this year sur
passes anything known in the district
since the fall in silver. Now that lead
and silver command the prices they do.
the Wood River country is rapidly com
ing to the front. and investments are
being sought by capitalists from all
over the country. There is no section
anywhere in the West that can make the
showing that the Bullion district has
made when the limited amount of depth
is taken into consideration. The ore
veins are assures and there is no CUES
tion but that they continue down TO the
deep.
