2OO.Ton Mill

The Montana Standard company,
whose property near the Mountain
House on the Thompson Falls
Murray road was the scene of a
great strike a few days ago, at its
annual meeting on Monday decided
to erect a 2OO-ton concentration at

MINING NOTES

The Idaho-Los Angeles company
is asking for bids to extend its
lower drift tunnel now in 600 feet
for 200 feet more. The mine has
just been equipped with a gasoline
engine and 600 feet Of air pipe.
The Silver Cable company, which
owns a big group OF claims on the
divide east Of. thE Snow Storm, ex-
poets to reach fs ledge with its long
lower tunnel some time next
month. The upper workings are
extensive and are said to prove a
big vein carrying three feet OF ore.
Work is being pushed in the lower
tunnel on the Callahan mine which
is now within 20Qfeet of the ledge
which it will c,E 225 feet deeper
than the present workings. 1t will
require 800 feet of drift ing to get
under them.
Manager Dayiof the Gold Ridge
company reports strike Of rich
sulphide ore on that property.
The Delta dredge has suspended
work after II run of only seven
weeks. 1t belongs to the Mascot
company OF Philadelphia.
There is a report in circulationsto
the effect that the Terrible Edith
mine near Murray, planxeed by the
Bracking- Ebbley company, has
struck its ledge in its long lower
tunnel.
S. H. Tinker and Elmer Bart
lett, two old time prosmctors on
the North Side, report having
located gronp of ten claims on
West Eagle creek which cover a
2OO-foot ledge with rich groupings
Of galena. II is in new and
hitherto unprospcted section OF
the district.

keep YOUR EYE ON WONDER
New Tunnel Nearing Main Ledge and
Strike Expected

The Wonder company's property
is attracting a good deal of atten-
ton from mining men Of late as
the tunnel is now nearing the main
ledge and the blind ledge which it
cut some time ago looked fine and
contained some good ore. 1t is
expected that the main vein will
be cut somewhere between 425 and
45O feet in and the tunnel is now
in over 400 feet.
The property consists of seven
claims just south of the Bell mine
and east Of the Formosa, about
three miles northeast of town. It
has a strong and handsome surface
showing and great hopes are enter
tanned that shipping ore will be
developed on the new level.
Last fall when Wonder stock was
put on the market the issue was
oversubscribed several times and
the stock sold largely around six
cents share. The general slump
in the market which followed soon
afterwards caused decline to about
three cents but it has been in firm
demand at that price or better for
some weeks.
The officers and the principal
shareholders are: President, F.
p. Greene, county auditor Of Spo-
kane, Wash; vice president. Ed
EhrenMrg Of Gem, manager'of. the
Gertic mine; secretary-treasury and
manager, w. H. Adams of Spokane
for years secretary and manager Of
the Rambler-Caribou mine in B. c.;
directors in addition to the above,
Harry l.. Day, manager of the
Hercules, and John H. Wourms,

INSPECTED GREAT WESTERN
w. w. Russell Confident It VIII Make q
Big Mine

w. w. Russell arrived from
Minnesota on Saturday to make
his second inspection Of the Great
Western mine above Burke. Said
he to a Miner representative on
Tuesday as he was on his way to
Seattle:
There has been great change
in the property since | was here q
year ago. l am confident the Great
Western will make a big mine.
We have fine and promising
showing of ore in the drift on the
vein which was cut by the main
tunnel when in about 400 feet.
This drift is now something over 70
feet long and shows from three to
four feet of fair ore in the face.
The ore is composed Of chalcopy-
rite and carbonates Of copper and
lead with galeha occurring in
punches in the interstices in the
rock. The seepage from the vein.
is highly stained with copper.
THE main tunnel is now in
1,175 feet and is heading for a
point directly under the shaft sunk
on the big surface showing. It will
require probably 10 feet more of
work to reach that point. The
workings are in a fine quality Of
quartzite.
The equipment Of the mine is
complete and up-to-date. The air
compressor and drills are doing
fine work. I shall be back here
forthe shareholders annual meet
ing ON August o."
Mr.. Russell is also interested in
the Excelsior company which has
just started the development of its
group Of claims on Military gulch
which adjoin the Great Western.
He expresses himself as being much
pleased with the surface showings
on that property.

Struck Rich Gold Ore

The Carter, Mont, camp which
has been attracting much attention
Of late is likely to attract still more
from now on as a strike OF very
rich gold ore has just beeDmade in
the property Of the Carter Mining
and Milling COMPANY on Slower
gulch. The| Deadwood group Of
six claims bwned principally by
Mullan people, adjoins the new
strike on one side, while the prop
erty Of the Little Mint company,
recently Incorporated by N. Witt
ner, adjoins it on the other. The
strike was made at a depth Of only
80 feet and other details concern
ing it are lacking.

REX STARTS WORK
Mill to be Remodeled. to Save Zinc
Values

B. M. Francis of Missoula, who
is one Of the principals Of the
syndicate which has bonded the
control of the Rex mine, not
purchased it as first announced,
arrived in Wallace on Tuesday and
Immediately began making arrange
ments for the resumption of work
for which the bOndcrs will receive
treasury stock Of the company. He
states that rs men will he put to
work in the mine at once and that
the mill will bc remodelled 80 as to
produce both zine and lead concen-
trates. As there are large reserves
of zinc ore in the old workings and
some handsome showings of galena
where the last development work
was done and more especially in
the Wine, Mr.. Francis is confident
of soon being able to resume the
payment Of regular monthly divi-
dends.

MONITOR AGAIN SHIPPING
Crosscutting to Vein on 40O. O.level. .Supt.
Jay Remains

The Monitor mine is once more
shipping 10 tons day, using two
four horse teams to haul the ore to
Saltese, Mont... This ore comes
from all over the mine but princip-
ally from the 200 and 800 levels
which are now well opened up. 1t av-
erages as before nearly 20 per cent in
copper, $40 in gold and six ounces
of silver to the ton and having spa
thic iron for a gaugue it is smelted
for dollar ton.
The main shaft is down below
the 400-foot level and is being con-
tinued down to the 500. The cross
cut to the vein on the 400 is in 10
feet and will reach the ledge in.s 10
or Is days more. It has already cut
some stringers, offshoots from the
vein. that contain the same high
grade Of ore. The development
work is all being done now with
Little Wonder Harstsog air drills
which have proved to be surpris-
ingly efficient in sinking and drift
ing. Some additional air drills Of
the common pattern have been
ordered for stopping.
The buildings at the mine have
all been completed and painted
which gives the property Il very
smart and business like appearance.
The report that Richard Jay was
to resign the superintendency Of
the mine to take charge Of the Rex
is without foundation. Mr.. Jay
says he has no intention Of leaving
the Monitor.

pany some months ago, returned
from Butte last Saturday and
announced that the erection OF a

Of weeks. Two sites between
Wallace and Osburn are under
option. The concentrator is de-
signed to do the work for the small
producers whose output is not yet
large enough to justify mill OF

Work in the new lower tunnel Of
the Alhambra has begun. 1t will be
1920 feet long and will tap the
vein 500 feet below the old tunnel
which itself gave depth 500 feet
on the ledge. IIke mine is equipped
with a COMPRESSOR which will be
electrically operated.
The upper tunnel shows long
shoot Of good concentrating galena
in the footwall of the vein, the
property being the eastern extension
d the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine. w. J. Sinclair Of Kellogg is

may USE HUNTER TUNNEL
American Commander Wishes to Proc
pect From That Point

The American Commanders tun-
mel is now in 700 feet has not yet
struck the ledge. A contract for
another 100 feet has just been
started by the same parties,
Lindsly & Co. of Mullan, by whom
it is confidently expected that this
work will bring them to the vein at
a point nearly 1900 feet west of
where the same ledge was cut by
the Hunter tunnel. Meanwhile
negotiations are on foot with the
Hunter company for the privilege
of prospecting their ledge from the
Hunter tunnel which is understood
to be only about 100 feet from the
American Commander end line.

whose width was not becified and
that assays OF the ore Nent no less
than 2,2OO ounces Of silver and 20
per cent in copper to the ton. This
is the fourth important strike made
by the tunnel and still the Yolande-
Hunter vein has not been reached.

Work ON the newly incorporated
Gray Copper compny's property
at Osbun will start Monday. The
first thing done will be to run -
series Of open cuts down the hill
from the ore showing described in
our last issue for the purpose of
tracing out the ledge and locating a

stock will probably be placed on
the market vt the same time at
about seven cents.

Given Up the Fight.

The efforts made by the State Of
Louisiana to keep out the cotton
boil weevil have been unsuccessful,
and the commission having charge
of the matter has about given up the
fight. The conclusion arrived at was
that the weevi: could not be exter-
minated, but that its destructive op-
erations could be kept down in a
measure by the farmers in careful
planting and theburning stalks.
tits said the commission has had to
turn and fight the Cuatemalan ants,
which were imported to destroy the
weevil. 1t has proved of a more men
ace than the weevil ever was, and is
now seriously threatening both the
organge and sugar-cane industries by
its ravages. These same ants almost
wiped out the sugar plantations of
Grenada, in the West Indies in a
campaign which extended over ten
years.
If this is true, and the American
Agrlculturist says it is, it was a silly
and disastrous experiment to import
these nuisances to the United States,
which already has more insect pests
than it can handle. These creatures
can't be used like sleuth-hounds to
run down any particular game, and
are sure to follow their appetities
into new fields.

The Boy.


I wouldn't be a single thing on earth
Except a boy,
And it's just an accident of birth
That I'm a boy;
And. goodness gracious! When | stop
and think
That once trembled on The very brink
Of maxim my appearance here girl,
1t fairly makes my ears and eyebrows
curl,
But I'm a boy!
Just think Of all the jolly fun there is
When you're a boy!
Itell you! you're just full Of business
When you're boy.
There's fires to build in all the vacant
lots,
Go swimmin, tie the fellers' clothes
in knots,
Tie tin cans on the tails Of dogs; why,
gee!
The days amt half as long as they
should be
When you're a boy.
There's lots of foolish things that
make you tired
When you're a boy.
There's heaps Of grouchy men that
can't be hired
To like a boy;
There's wood to chop at home and
coal to bring,
And Here, do this--do that---the
other thing!"
And, worse than all, there's girls,
oh, holy smoke!
Are they crime, or just joke
Upon boy?
And then there's always somebody
to jaw,
When you're boy
Somebody always layin' down the law
To every boy;
"Pick up your coat; see where you've
put your hat;
Don't stone the dog; don't tease the
poor cid cat;
Don't race around the house'---why,
suf rim Moses!
The only time you have to practice
things like those is
When you're a boy!
And yet don't believe I'd change a
thing
For any boy;
You've got to laugh, to cry, to work,
tossing,
To be a boy;
With all his thoughtiess noise and
careless play,
With all his heartfelt trials day by
day,
With all his boyish hopes and all his
fears.
Id like to live on earth a thousand
years
And be q boy.
