It IL not often that the Miner run
across such an interesting report o
q mine as the following from the pc
OF q. Scott Anderson whose reputs
ton as conservative engineer ha
long been household word in tn
Occur d'Alenes. The Miner reprint
It with all the more pleasure becaus
1t substantiates the views the write
frequently expressed regarding tn
Tarbox. after thorough examina
ton OF the mine, long before thi
paper was born or even thought OF.
Manager DaxOn's Report.
Mr.. Anderson's report is accom-
panied by a circular letter fron
Manager Daxon to the stakeholder
AZ follows:
At the request of some OF the larg
est nonresident stockholders |, a
manager, employed G.. Scott Ander
son, M. E.. one OF the most conser
vative and highly esteemed mimi,
authorities In the Occur d'Alenes. t.
examine and report on the propert,
OF the company, the Tarboy mine
near Saltese. Mont.
As You are we'll aware, the com
pany Is one OF the Oldest in the dis
trict, and its property was among
the earliest located Approximate,
100000 has been spent in it's de
velOpment, and all that remains to be
done now to put 1t on producing
and dividend paying basis is to deep
en- the main working shaft 200 feet
connect the same with the present
lowest workings in the mine and
equip It with concentrator.
1t has been estimated that the
total cost Of this work will be In
the neighborhood OF $4,000, and to
provide this working capital the com.
pany has decided to sell a portion of
its newly created treasury reserve
OF 100000 shares.
The accompanying report of Mr..
G. Scott Anderson will be found to
give a most comprehensive descrip-
ton OF the company's property, and
coming as 1t does from source that
has always been considered ultra
conservative l feel that 1t amply SUBJ
Stimulates all statements heretofore
made by me and must have the re-
suit Of thoroughly satisfying all of
the shareholders as to the great mer-
1t Of the mine which We have Jointly
developed.
As Mr.. Anderson's report makes no
mention OF such details, will state
for general information that the mine
consists OF eight full claims, two
fractions and millsite, together with
fine water power, on the east fork
of Packer creek, three miles from
Saltese, Mont, and on the same ore
zone as the large producers of the
district. 1t is only about five miles
from the Idaho-M Montana state line,
which follows the summit of the Bit
ter Root mountains, and right in the
heart of the Occur d'Alene district.
/ earnestly request that every share
holder will give Mr.. Anderson's re-
port careful consideration.
Yours respectfully,
Richard Daxon,
President AMI Manager.
Mr.. AndersOn's Report.
Wallace, Idaho, July. IS, 1907.
Mr.. Richard Daxon, President and
Manager Tarbox Mining Company:
In compliance with your instruc-
lions have made trip to the Tar
box property for the purpose Of ex-
aiming its condition at this time
and herewith report the results OF
my. investigations to those who are
Of may be interested in its opera
tions.
note that your prospectus Of this
property, issued August 10, 1906, de-
scribes the location of this property
and the claims adjoining it SO clearly
and correctly that detailed account
Of this matter at this time would be
but q repetition Of this information.
In view Of this l will refer to them
only incidentally and as the subject
In hand may make It necessary.
/, Good Surface ShOwings
The surface showing OF the Tarbox,
the outcroppings or apex Of the ore
body, is most pleasing and attractive
to anyone familiar with the condi-
lions existing in and about the great
mines Of this extensive
district, inasmuch that its
general characteristics resemble
them 80 closely that even the ordin-
Rry observer must note the similarity
between them.
The experienced and intelligent
prospector always has two main
features In mind; the first Of these
would naturally be to find vein or
edge, and secondly. mineraliza-
lion somewhere in and about the vein
which would be homogeneous with
hose conditions existing in and cor
with the surface outcrop

Occur d'Alene country. This ore

tself shall have any commercial val
ie. such as galena ore, yielding the
cad, or chalcoprites, from which we
extract our copper, or any other ore
hat has any special value, and In
act, the uppermOst limits OF our
most famous ore shoots rarely con-
ain an ore product of sufficient val

concentrate It's value into shipping
