Montana lniversttys PROFESSOR OF
Mining Greatly Enthused.
The Idaho Press on Saturday pub
lished lengthy interview with j.
/ P. Rowe, professor of science and
mining at the Montana state univer-
sity from which we extract the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
This morning | paid visit to
the Morning mine and was surprised
at the wonderful showing in the low
err workings. Solid galena is there.
several feet wide. and to say that
was amazed is no exaggeration.
II was not allowed to see the
Hercules mine at all, and regret
this very much.
SnowstOrm Wonder.
II think the Snowstorm mine is a
wonder. In the lower workings. in
the No. tunnel, found some fine
looking chalcopyrite and bornite. The
No. tunnel will get underneath the
showing in the No. 8 tunnel and
then | anticipate that some wonder
fully rich copper ore will be struck.
Without any improvement the Snow
storm is a good copper mine. but she
will be wonder one of these avs.
look upon the stock as dirt cheap
at its present figure.
Hunter and American Commander.
Il was in the long Hunter tunnel
and saw the first two strikes recently
made. am OF the opinion that both
these leads will prove to be one and
the same with little more depth, as
they are so close together and think
they apex on the American Com
mander ground. II they do, this pros
pect will make one of the greatest
mines in the country. There is nice
showing in the upper tunnel on these
claims. look upon the American
Commander as one of the best pros
poets have seen. The Hunter itself
will doubtless make a great mine.
The recent sensational strike has
been little exaggerated, as there is
only narrow streak of the high
grade ore, but one does not want
much of such ore to make q paying
proposition.
MissOula Has Fine Showing.
Another prospect examined that
pleased me greatly was Missoula Cop
per. 1t has a wonderful showing and I
the ore is the same as the Snowstorrl
ore In about 80 days it should be t
in a fair way to making second /
was sorry | was unable |
to see the Copper King. but [ could /
not get to the other side of the hill.
Dom Paul, Rex and Idora.
loom Paul Is another promising
prospect and is being we'll developed.
Ii properly worked the Rex should /
prove a good mine, and the Idora IL
practically one already. The fault |
with the Rex is that 1t has never been
developed, but | have no
doubt that under the present man
agement this fault will be rectified.
Largest Ore Zone.
1.-The country from Burke to Muir
ray and from there across to Wallace
is the best for mining, as in my opin-
lon the largest ore zone lies within
his district. Practically speaking the
ground south of Wallace has hardly
been mined at all. but there Is no
reason why this country should not
also prove good also.
Country Only Scratched.
This country has only been
scratched so far, and it is safe to say
hat many more Bunker Hill & Sui
ivans, Hercules and Snowstorms will
,e opened up. In few years the at
ention of the United States, If not
# the entire world, will be directed
O the Occur d'Alenes, as more than
