Mining and Scientific Press:
Our contemporary at New York
recently published some sensible
remarks on reports of mine ex-
aminations, and, in the main, we
agree with the tenor of them. To
one suggestion we demur, and
that is the idea of a decadence in
the character of such documents.
Of course, there are many re-
ports that fail of their purpose,
which is to convey the informa-
ton necessary for the valuation
of mine, but, on the whole, as
we remember the character of
the stuff that passed current
twenty years ago, we feel inclined
to emphasize the great progress
made in this branch Of engineer
ing practice. For it is an essen
tial part of the engineers work.
What is the use of careful investi-
cation, accurate measurement,
and logical reasoning if the res
suit of it all cannot be expressed
clearly, to the end that the infor-
nation can be conveyed from the
intelligence of one man to that of
another in the furtherance of
/ business? There has been a not-
able advance in this respect. The
time was when a report made by
representative mining engineer
would include a general descrip-
ton of the mine and its envir6nl
ment, story of its life, a record
of its production, a few maps and
, the results of assays made on a
scattering of grab samples or
specimens; this being followed
= by estimates based wholly on the
l. assumption that the ore in the
= mine was as good as that which
had come out of it, and that
y therefore the yield during the
Il future could either be maintained
i or doubled at will by enlarging
the reduction works. Today the
humor of such reporting would be
u recognized; it would never be
taken seriously.
m 1t is true, the offices of explor-
,e alton companies and similar or
S ganizations engaged in legitimate
20 mine promotion are inundated
e, with a mass of reports, most of
lie which are open to criticism or
account of their wordiness, in
completeness, or obscurity. But
lg this is due, not SO much to the
IN general decadence or essentia
as insuficiency Of mine reporting, as
ry to the multitude of men who per
form such #6fk nowadays. The
b. number Of Hen capable of ap
he praising mine has been multi
d. piled immensely by reason of the
spread of education and the facil
. ity for gaining experience; th'
. financial activity directed to min
70 ing enterprises is twenty time
or greater than it was twenty year
;S ago, and the variety of peopl
ID engaged has grown in proportion

The eighth annual report OF the min
ing industry of Idaho, just issued, con-
tains the following in regard to prop
critics in this part of Idaho:
Elk City Basin.
The lode mines of this old placer dis
trict attracted good deal of attention
from investors during the past year and
were investigated by many prominent
mining men and capitalists, and the
prospects seem bright for the erection
of custom mill, which should prove a
paying investment and would greatly
encourage development.
Buster Mine-One of the most import
ant mining transactions in this section
during the year was the taking over
under development option of the well
known Buster mine one-half mile above
Elk City, by Mr.. F. w. Bradley, one of
the ablest and most extensive mine
operators in the United States. The
|
fact of Mr.. Bradley becoming interested
in this district is practical guarantee
of the merits and Importance of its ore
deposits.
The Buster mine is one of the hand
soonest showings of rich gold bearing
ore and types of true vein to be found
anywhere in the state. 1t is pro-
nounced quartz filled fissure in archean
gneiss that stands nearly vertical and
is traeeable at the surface for several
thousand feet. The principal feature
Of it's present development is a shoot OF
rich ore of considerable length that is
ten to twenty feet wide and carries
average values through definite pay
streak several feet wide of one hundred
dollars per ton in gold with big milling
values in the balance of the ore body.
, This handsome deposit of mineral is
now being developed by shaft and the
work will be pushed TO considerable
, depth. 1t will demonstrate the merit:
Of the district below water level, which
, SO far has never been proven.
f The association of specks of gray cop
+ per and black tellurium with rich golt
I bearing iron sulphides contained in thi
ore body are likely to lead to ore o
, shipping value that will stand transpor
tation from this somewhat remote dis
q trict. The result of this development
o should prove of great interest to Ell
n City Basin, for the basin Carries
8 number of pronounced fissure veins O
n the same type as that of the Buster
k which at several points contain more Q
o less of the same character of rich gol
r bearing quartz associated with tellufiu1
4 and metallic sdphides.
