Great Western Strike
WEST NINE MILE NINE
General Sample Of Ore Gives Surprising
Returns

The enlarged and Strengthened
tunnel on the West Nine Mile, the
face of which is some Is or 20 feet
south Of the old workings, is now
in 90 feet and con tinues to show
about two feet of fair grade concen-
trating galena ore in the face. The
ore occurs in two streaks Of about
equal width separated by highly
mineralized quartzite. The tunnel
is on the hanging wall side Of the
ledge but whether it is following
the true wall will not be demon
strated until some further cross
cutting to the south is done.
Manager Geo. H. Heller had a
general sample of the ore streaks
taken on Monday which was assay
ed by Robbins & Moore. 1t gave
returns Of 5 ounces Of silver and
SO per cent lead, thus proving the
silver ratio to be higher than usual
and demonstrating that the whole
mass was fair grade concentrating
ore

LESLIE NINE FINANCED
Wesley Everett Secures Support !
Leading Cleveland Citizens

Wesley Everett returned Monday
from Cleveland, Ohio, to resume
charge Of the operation OF the
Leslie mine. He made an inspec-
ton Of the property on Tuesday and
expresses himself as being delighted
with the development during his
five months absence. The work
now in progress will result in max
ing quickly available for production
a large tonnage Of commercial ore.
Mr.. Everett was highly success
full in securing working capital for
the company by the sale Of treasury
stock, having interested some Of
the foremost business men Of Clev-
Gland, but asserts that he exper-
fenced the same difficulties as others
who have gone east to enlist capital
in local enterprises through the
manipulations OF certain brokers who
apparently have no other interest
in the district than to rake off
small commission even at the cost
Of destroying such enterprises.
Il believe that in the interest OF
the legitimate mining industry in
the Coeur d'Alenes the mine owners
should get together and take some
steps to curb the pernicious activ-
tiles Of these brokers'" concluded
Mr.. Everett.

LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER
What w. D. Creenough Has to Say
About the Copper King


About the Copper King
For the first time for some
months the writer had a few
minutes talk on Friday with w.
D. Greenough, manager Of the
Snow Storm and Copper King
mines, respecting the latter
property. Said Mr.. Greenough:
The Copper King has always
been open to the inspection Of,
anybody, whether he is a share
holder or not, who visits it. It,
is SO today. For this reason n
don't care to say anything aboutg
it. l would rather that people,
went and saw it for themselves.
| will say this, however: The
mine looks better than it ever
did,
When asked to make a state.
ment regarding the company's
plans for the future he said:
Our option on the control Of
the stock is at the price Of 20
cents a share and does not expire
until the latter part of August.
Consequently we do not have to-
make up our minds until then
Meanwhile we will prosecu te the
development Of the property"

STEWARDS COMMENTATOR
Another $50. Ton Mill Will be Running
In Six Weeks

The new 15O-ton concentmtor of
the Stewart company which is
being erected near the mouth Of the
Silver King tunnel below Wardner,
will be running i'll six weeks or less.
The building is completed and the
crushing machinery is all installed.
The delay in receiving the jigs is
what will prevent the mill being
started sooner. It has been SO
constructed that its capacity can be
easily increased to 450 or 500 tons.

DOUBLE DICKENS MILL
Capacity Of Concentrator aTo Be n.
creased To $50 Tons Daily

Machinery is now on the ground
at the Charles Dickens mine, says
the Spokane Spokesman Review,
which will double the capacity Of
the mill. The machinery will he
installed at once, and the work is
expected to be completed in two
weeks. The capacity Of the Charles
Dickens mill is now rs tons A day.
and this will be increased to $50
tons day.
W. H. Taylor of this city, who
returned from a thorough inspec-
ton Of the Charles Dickens last
week, says that the property is now
in an excellent condition, with
bright prospects. Samples Of the
ore, he says, run high, and dispute
the belief that there is too much
zinc in the Dickens. Six samples
of concentrates, which Mr.. Taylor
brought back with him, average
nearly 70 per cent Of lead, and
show half an ounce of silver to each
unit of lead.
Plenty Of Ore in Sight
The showing OF the mine is
entirely satisfactory said Mr..
Taylor. mo. 1 tunnel is now in
about 80 feet, and shows in the
face two and one-half feet of con-
centrating ore. In No. 2 tunnel,
which is ABOUT 35 feet below No. /,
the ore was first cut about $50 feet
in, and the ore shoot continues 43O
feet further in this tunnel. A shaft
has been sunk on the vein As feet,
and shows in the bottom II feet
wide, averaging II per cent lead.
A vertical working shaft has
also been sunk 13O feet on the foot
wall at the upper tunnel giving a
depth of 100 feet from the main
tunnel. A crosscut has been run
to the vein and Wine sunk there
on 80 feet, showing ore all the way

AMERICAN MINING COMPANY
New Officers Elected. ..-Drift ON South
Ledge to be Extended

The American Mining Company
elected the following board OF direc-
tors at its meeting on Saturday:
President, Herman ]. Rossi; vice
president, w. L.. James; secretary
and treasurer, Stanley P. Fair
weather; directors, David Hudson
and VIM. Stimson.
The report Of the retiring presi-
dent, Geo. D. Potter, showed that
518 feet of crosscuts and drifts had
been run during the past year, the
main drift on the south ledge being
in AGO feet. While ore occurs in
all the drifts it has not been found
in commercial quantities in any OF
them yet, but the drift on the south
ledge has shown such steady i'm
provement for the last 80 feet that
a strike Of Importance may be made
there any day. The face Of this
drift now shows two feet Of quartz,
heavily impregnated with iron, with
nice tale seam and well defined
hanging wall, having all the char
acteristics Of the big ledges Of the
district. Galena and copper are
coming in in punches and the
showing is the best yet found in
the property.
The new board will let contract
for another 100 feet Of drifting
at this point and to finance this
work will market another block Of
treasury shares. The company's
property is the western extension Of
the Success mine on East Nine Mile
creek and is believed to cover one
or two of the Success lodges. Its
excellent location and good showing
should make the new issue Of
treasury shares a popular one.

The shaft on the Dom Paul was

|D0RA STARTS SHIPPING
Last Payment on Colwyn Bond Made q
Month Ago


/ The actual movement of ore from
the ldora mine to the railway has
at last begun, it having been de.
layed for several days by lack ol
ore sacks and by the softness of the
new road at one or two points from
which the snow had been recently
shovelled out. 1t is probable that
by next season the Idora will be
shipping over the Idaho Northern
railroad instead of hauling to Bum
siding on Nine Mile.
Regarding the Idora company
and it's bond on the old Colwyn
mine the Spokane Chronicle said in
recent issue:
The bond and lease on the
ldora mine in the Coeur d'Alenes
has been settled up, the final pay
ment to the Colwyn company, the
former owners having been made
about a month ago. The last pay
ment was $1,000 and the Idora
Mining company now holds clear
title to the property.
The 1dora is now shipping ore
to the Panhandle smclter and has
definitely joined the ranks of the
regular shippers of the Coeur
d'Alene district. A full force was
employed at the mine all winter,
working chiefly in No. 2 level,
where the ore shoot was followed
for more than 500 feet, proving it
one Of the longest in the district.
THE drift has been in ore con-
tinuously, but not a pound has been
stopped, all the ore on hand having
been taken out in the course Of
development work. 1t is sacked
for shipment.
"A crew OF men has been work.
ing on the wagon road and the
snow is finally cleared away 50 that
heavy hauling is possible. A larger
force OF men was recently taken to
the mine and stopping has just been
begun at various points along the
vein where the ore shoot is largest
and richest, and ore is being hauled
to Bunn's station on Nine Mile.
Much OF the ore runs IS per cent
lead and 40 ouncer silver to the
ton. Shipments will be continued
steadily at the rate Of car every
five days or about 35 tons week.
The company owns a fine water
power on the property and has a
force of men at work on the install
alton Of machinery which will
afford ample power for running the
drills and fans. A foundation is
now being laid for the installation
OF five drill compressor plant"
Since the above was put in type
deeds have been filed with the
county recorder to the Colwyn,
Colwyn Fraction, Tuscumbia Frac-
ton and Triangle Fraction lode

company to the Peterson company
