TRADE DOLLAR IS LUCKY.

Revenue Company Is Crosscutting
Its Group Free Of Cost.
The Trade Dollar company is an
other OF those fortunate concerns
which is having its ground explored
without cost to it's shareholders. 1t
owns six claims adjoining the Ben
ton and Stanley on the north and
east respectively, on Gorge gulch.
Application for patent for its entire
group is now pending.
Its ground Is crosscut by 24OO-
foot tunnel which has yet to run
200 feet to reach the north bound
airy Of its property and the work in
this tunnel is now being prosecuted
by the Revenue company. which
owns the group adjoining it on that
side and lying between 1t and the
Moonlight. This work is being done
In consideration of right of way
the Revenue people also agreeing to
pay royalty of Is cents a ton on
all ore taken by them out of their
own ground through that tunnel.
The Trade Dollar company is in
good circumstances financially.

Big Surface Showing Of Copper Ore
Near Belknap, Mont.
The Royal Copper company's
group Of eight claims is not strictly
in the Occur d'AlenA country, being
we'll over the divide and near Belk-
nap, Mont. 1t was discovered and
located year ago by J. H. Jackson,
G. d. johnson and O. A. Olin. and
has an enormous surface showing OF
copper ore. The shoot crops for 800
feet along the vein with width of
from 40 to 80 feet. The ledge mat
ter is quartz carrying a good per-
centage Of copper. mostly In car
Donate form. General samples
showed an average of 2 per cent in
copper with high values in silver as
we'll.
Four men are employed in driving
short tunnel to crosscut the ledge
at slight depth. Should this work
result in the expected ore showing
tunnel will then be started to cut tho
vein 500 or 900 feet deep.

An interesting find in the shape
OF IS inches of quartz carrying con-

about two weeks ago on the tunnel

property, a mile and a half west of
Osburn and just beyond the Evolu-

be from four to IL feet wide. The

The property consists OF a group
OF nine claims adjoining the Morn

verses the corner OF one claim of the
group. 1t is being developed by a
lower crosscut tunnel, now In 1850
feet. which will tap the Morning
ledge at depth Of 500 feet with
about 500 feet more of work. A
contract for this work has just been
let. When 1t is completed drift
will be started to the west towards
the Morning, which will give an ulti-
mate depth Of 1900 feet.
G. B. Boyden of Mullan is mana
ger of the property and he is now
engaged in fixing up the old tunnel.
A new track with 16 pound rails Is
being laid and the tunnel is being
replanked throughout with three
inch stuff. Two new mine cars have
just been received.
The new machinery plant which is
being installed consists of a three

that the tunnel will have to be

presence of nearby ore body of
good value.
