OFFICIAL PAPER OF CUSTER 90.
MINING Report.
Report of Robert N. Bell for
the year 1906.

Idaho Montgomery Mines.
This property has been develop
ed by it's owner, George Black
man, single handed most of the
time, to a considerable extent
during the past fifteen years and
his successful disposition of it at
a good figure is fitting reward
for his enduring faith in it's
merits.
This property carries re-
markedly interesting deposit of
gold bearing mineral consisting
of big zone of quartz and silici-
fed gangue in walls of eruptive
granite. There are seven par
allel veins traversing the prop
erty that range in width from 10
to 100 feet richly mineralized
containing gold values all
through associated with vari-
ETY. Of sulphides including pyr-
ties, pyrrhotite, native bismuth,
nickel and cobalt minerals.
The bismuth ore are usually
associated with high values in
gold and silver and big bodies of
mineral are said to have been
disclosed since this company
took hold of the property, that
show average values of from Sc
to $40 per ton, while selected
ores yield very much higher re-
turns amounting TO several hun
dred dollars per ton in some in
stances.
The company intends to con-
tinue its development steadily
until next spring, when it is be-
lieved that a large mill will be
justified and constructed.
Washington Basin is surround
ed by circle of very high noun
tain SUBMITS carrying some of
the loftiest elevations in the
State that are principally com
posed of altered sedimentary
formations.
The mountain on the south
side of this basin carries the rich
gold and silver bearing lead ore
veins of the Bible Back, Idahoan
and other mines, which have a
shipping record amounting to
several hundred thousand dol
lars of high grade smelling ore,
and the geological conditions of
this locality are favorable for
important mineral developments.
Valley Creek Mine. Near the
Stanley Basin, the Valley Creek
mine was operated during a part
of the summer and considera-
BILE amount of ore worked in the
20-stamp mill and cyanide plant
with which it is equipped, which
resulted in the production of
considerable bullion.
This property carries a large
vein of $40 gold ore but it's as
sociation with a little lead makes
it rather difficult to treat and
satisfactory extraction of the
values has not been made so far.
1t is anticipated that with the
additional machinery this diff
Guilty can be overcome and that
the mine will become an impor-
tant producer as it contains good
values and large bodies of ore.
Greyhound Mine. The man
agement of the Greyhound mine
are constructing a wagon road
from the State wagon road near
Cape Horn to it properly. This
property has an extensive de-
velopment of gold bearing pyrit-
ic ore in large assure vein 5 to
IS feet wide. 1t was equipped
with small mating furnace, but

important mining operation in
Custer county during the past
year in the matter of production
was the operation of the Mac
beth lease on the White Knob
mine at Mackay. The lease is
in the hands of energetic and
practical people, its management
is under the personal direction
of Frank M. Leland, who is
president and general manager
of the leasing company. This
venture enjoyed a successful
year.
The company worked a force
of 100 men on the White Knob
mine after the smelter shut
down in the fall of 1905 until
March, 1906, and succeeded in
developing some extensive bod
les of good copper ore, princi-
pally in the vicinity of the sur
face groupings of the deposit.
The smelter was started in
March, and in spite of a disast-
rous fire which destroyed the en-
tire sampler, machine shop and
Shay locomotive, causing the
financial loss to the leasers of
nearly 500, 200, they neverthe-
less got through $4,000 tons of
ore during the year, which aver
aged A per cent copper, together
with important values in gold
and silver. A creditable show
ing for property that had pre-
iously established such an un-
enviable reputation, and speaks
volumes for the ability of the
men in charge. 1t justifies, in a
measure, the writer's numerous
boosts of the possibilities of this
deposit and of the probable i'm
portance of Custer county's cop
per resources, and the judgment
of the original manager of the
White Knob company, who des-
igned the big smelter with which
the property is equipped, to
work the surface ore showings
that have been mostly RESPONSE
BILE for the successful run of the
past season. The White Knob
carries an interesting display of
copper carbonate and oxide min
erals scattered over fiat bench
of nearly 40 acres in extent on a
high spur of the White Knob
mountain. The most conspicu-
Gus feature of the original sur
face cropping is an immense
body of pure hematite and mag
Matte iron ore near a contact of
eruptive porphyritic granite and
pure blue limestone. This con-
tact shows an extensive develop
ment of garnet rock and soft
gray porphyry with which the
ore bodies are associated. They
occur in very irregular manner
in pockets, kidenys, streaks and
lenses over the area described
and are mined in big open cuts
and quarries.
The property has been devel-
oped by a vertical shaft 700 feet
deep which was subsequently
tapped by long crosscut tunnel
and several large bodies of ore
were disclosed underground
which, however, were mostly
low grade and still largely retain
their altered condition at this
considerable depth. No very
extensive drifting was done,
however, along the contact line
and it is possible that the true
vent of the big ore showings of
the surface has not yet been dis
closed underground. The sur
face deposits on the property
were quite extensively develop
ed under the original managers
administration, an electric rail
way was built right up to the
quarries, and a steam shovel
purchased for the economical
handling of the ore in the sur
face work. The trackage and
equipment of this electric rail

mine, a distance of Is miles, was
too costly to justify further OPP
Grafton. The management have
built quite a piece of the wagon
road during the past summer,
which when completed will
greatly reduce the cost of haul
ing material for the property as
we'll as for the adjacent Seafoam
and Sheep Mountain districts.
This road was made a toll road
and should we'll justify the cost,
as the Greyhound and neighbor-
ing districts are richly mineral
lied with smelling ores that in
variably carry high precious
values.
There are a great many claims
owned in that section that have
been faithfully represented for
the past 20 years. Prior to the
big drop in silver, this region
produced quite lot of shipping
ore which was packed out to
Stanley Basin, then hauled to
Ketchum for treatment when the
Philadelphia smelter was in OPP
GRAFTON. The construction of a
railroad through that part Of the
State would develop a very i'm
portant resource of mineral
traffic and doubtless result in
development of a number of it's
handsome prospects into paying
mines.
The Greyhound property is
owned by an incorporated com
pany and it's shares are largely
held by mining men of Boise
who have the utmost faith in it's
future.
Payette- Lead District. This
interesting district and it's mon
ster assure veins carrying lead
silver values, situated at the
head of Stanley Lake creek in
the Sawtooth range and over on
the Payette slope has not yet
justified it's early promise. A
long cross-cut tunnel was driven
during the year which intersect-
ed one of the principal veins of
the system at a depth of 200 feet.
Some ore was found on one wall
of the vein which proved to be
80 feet wide, but no drifting was
done along this course.
This property is owned by
Omaha capitalists, and it is un-
derstood that the work will be
taken up again next spring and
the vein further tested by drift
ing both ways for an ore shoot.
Several other mines in this
locality were worked to some ex-
tent and assessment work done
to carry their title.
The district has number of
handsome surface showings and
it is still believed will develop
important ore bodies.
Lead Silver Mines. Except
ing some small crews on devel-
opment work and leasing opera
tions, Custer county's famous
lead-silver belt extending from
Slate creek to the head of Gar
den creek near Challis, expert
enced a dull year. This belt of
country has some famous old
lead producers and also
some large resources of develop
ed ore. Its properties were
practically put out of commits
sion by the silver slump in 1893
as they are all remote from rail
way transportation and involve
a wagon haul of from so to IS
miles, which was justified when
silver was worth over one dollar
an ounce, and several successful
mining enterprises were in pro-
gress, but the heavy slump in
values of their principal product
was more than they could stand
at such a distance from the mar
ket and the chief producers have
since remained idle most of the
time awaiting better conditions
of transportation, or rise in price

tive to the smelter at Mackay, 6
miles below, over a 8 per cent.
grade.
As originally designed, the
White Knob smelter, which is of
two stacks with a daily capacity
of 600 tons, was intended to make
blister copper direct for such
method Of smelling the ore is
especially adapted. Subsequent
managers of the property, how
ever, changed the design to a
mating plant under which meth
cd it is now operated by the leas-
ers, who have to ship in iron
sulphides from Bingham, Utah,
with which to mix the ore to
furnish enough sulphur to make
matte. The resulting product
reduced from this operation runs
about 40 per cent copper and
from $50 to $50 per ton in gold
and silver.
James G. Chino is the superin-
tendent in charge at the smelter
and his Stag losses are said not
exceed one-fourth of one per
cent when running an average
feed of from 4 to 6 per cent ore
and using l3 per cent coke fuel.
The leasers have been running
only one furnace and treating
about 200 tons of ore a day.
The success of this enterprise
has put new life into the town of
Mackay throughout the year and
afforded an important source of
business traffic to the Lost River
branch of the Oregon Short
Line. 1t has stimulated inter
ests in other adjacent copper
properties in the Mackay dis
trict, and in fact, in the whole
Lost River section, where con
siderable new mining work is in
progress on a number of other
very promising prospects.
Copper Basin Mines. AT Cop
per Basin, about 30 miles west
of Mackay, there exists another
important deposit of copper
bearing ore that is quite extern
sive and is largely of the same
type as the White Knob with
great cropping of iron ore at
the surface associated with cop
per carbonates, oxide and occas-
ional kidneys of pure borni5e.
This property, consisting of 21
claims and owned by some well
known Idaho business men,
among whom are Messrs. Reed
and Davidson, prominent ranch
ers of Lost river; Colonel Sharp
of HALEY; A. J. Pierce of Poca-
tello and others, was bonded
during the summer for 100000
to w. H: Plummer of Spokane,
and associates Of ST. Louis, who
have put a force of men to work
on the property, and plan its ex-
tensive development.
These mines have had consid-
cradle preliminary prospecting
work done on them and show
rich copper values at a dozen
different points and their extern
sive development is likely to dis
close another important source
of good smelling ore.
Other Prospects. In the high
mountains which form the east
extension of the Sawtooth range
Immediately south and west of
Copper Basin there are a numb
er of very handsome prospects
in places showing high values in
clean copper and zinc sulphide
ore, in others, copper, zinc, iron
sulphides combined, and also
some prospects showing clean
galena. These minerals are in
variably associated with impor-
tant precious values and while
they are nearly all in the pre-
liminary prospect stage, they
present some splendid oppor-
tunities for the investment of
capital in working options which
can generally be obtained on
