Portions of the Senator lode claim
located in the Hunter mining dis
trict and on Brush creek about two
and a half miles from the Northern
Pacific, are involved In the suit be-
gun by William F. Nichols and Will
liam Gribble against the Lewis and
Clark Mining company. The plaint-
ifs demand that the boundaries of
this claim be settled and that the
defendant corporation be restrained
pending the action, from taking any
ore from this claim and on trial be
enjoined perpetually.
The complaint charges that on
February 20, 1903, w. F. Nichols
located the Senator lode claim on a
vacant mineral land in the Hunter
having discovered vein Of
quartz bearing silver and lead. In
side of 60 days, it is alleged, an exca-
yHtion was made on the property and
On May 25, 1903, the claim was re-
corded.

CHEWELAH NINE GOOD.
Rich Strikes Follow One Another In
Quick Succession.

Another rich strike has been made
In the United Copper mine near Che
welah. Wash. property In which
rich strikes have been made so often
Of late that mining men concede that
the property will put the Chewelah
district on paying basis.
About a fortnight ago a shoot Of
from five to seven feet of $50 chalco-
pyrite ore was opened up on the 375
foot level of the mine. The ore has
been followed by drift, until now It
has widened to II feet. all solid ore.
Ore Is Widening.
The first indications of the new
strike were seen Saturday, when
narrow seam Of gray copper, like a
knife blade, was found on the foot
wall. This showing has widened
steadily, until there is now exposed Is
inches of the rich ore, and 1t widens
with every shoot
Assays made OF the new find show
great values, for the ore carries
l6 $40 per cent copper. worth $45.64,
and 1856 ounces of silver to the ton,
worth $93.60. These values, with
small values in gold, bring the aver
age value Of the ore to $141.3O a ton.
The new rich ore Is being sorted and
stacked separately for shipment.
Big Strike Friday.
A force Of nine men is employed at
the mine. drifting on the ledge. The

water has been short, which fact
caused the temporary shutdown.
The new shaft. which is being sunk
by the company, goes down where
the gold ledge is encountered by the
lower tunnel. At this point the gold
ledge Is intersected by a galena car
rying ledge. The shaft is tt be sunk
along the footwall of the gold ledge
at the intersection Of the two lodges.
The starting up of the mill does
not affect the prospecting work be-
ing done on the gold ledge. and which
will be continued.
A strike of seven feet of high grade
ore has been made in the Phedora
tunnel, the report coming in the other
day. The ore is lead-silver with a
high percentage of lead.
The strike was made in the drift
which is in about $50 feet. The men
recently cut into 10 inches of the ore
In the bottom of the tunnel, which
ran 80 per cent in lead.

DENIES STRIKE
Manager GailWey of Parrot Says Ru-
mOrs Are Untrue.

1t has been persistently reported
among the miners that the Parrot
has made strike recently, but Man
ager Galiwey denies it. The Parrot
company is pushing development and
has just completed sinking its main
shaft, which is now 2O30 feet deep.
Crosscuts have been started from the
1900 and 2000-foot stations to inter-
cept the veins south Of the shaft. The
company has reduced It's output to
about 1900. and 1S00-foot levels
where some development work is also
going on. The Parrot company Is
also working the Little Nina, but that
property is yielding only small
of ore, which is mined on the
800 and 18OO-foot levels. The Little
Nina shaft is 1000 feet deep.--The
North Butte Extension company has
a station at the 800 and
work on the crosscut has started. The
station is Is feet square and Is big
enough to accommodate large pump.
The vein is not far from the shaft,
and 1t was uncovered at the surface
while a foundation was being made
Tor the, engine house. Several vein
,tringers were cut by the shaft. The
water coming from the shaft is also
highly impregnated with copper. John
A. Ryan, the superintendent, expects
hat the vein will be reached within
20 feet Of the shaft, and that 1t will
,e found to carry commercial ore. A
econd boiler was recently added to
he plant and the company is now
,quipped for sinking to depth OF
200 feet.

TUNNEL IN 400 FEET
Machinery Recently Purchased VIII
BE Installed at Once.

The tunnel on the property of the
Liston Mining company, located on
Big creek near Wardner, has been
driven in 400 feet. In addition to
the development work the company
has cut out and graded wagon road
four miles in length, connecting the
mine with the O. r. & N. railroad.
The hauling of the machinery, re-
Gently purchased from the Charles
Dickens, will be begun at once. This
machinery consists in part of COM
pressor, boiler, engine, air receivers
and $500 feet of iron pipe. The iron
pipe is being taken out to the mine.
In the meantime the development
work will be carried on as usual. A
contract for 100 feet Of an extension
OF the crosscut tunnel has bbeen let.
This will put the tunnel in 500 feet.
The company Is in excellent financial
condition and work will be carried on
all winter.
The Liston property Is situated on
Big creek, adjoining the Blue Bell.
The opening of the vein in the Lis
ton will be of benefit to all the sur
rounding properties, and for this
reason the men interested in the Big
creek region are watching the work
on the Liston with interest. The
Liston encountered good values in
lead and silver ore In the upper work.

BIG POWER PLANT
Mines In Idaho County Will Draw
From Clearwater.

The Idaho county mines are to be
provided with big power plant that
VIII be installed on the south FORK
or the Clearwater river The infor-
nation is published In Saturdays
issue of the Elk City Mining News.
The article Is as follows:
| Jacob Schlosser of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Umatilla Mining COM
pany, and others have located a
power site on the south fork Of the
Clearwater river near the mouth of
Ten Mile creek, on which they will
install large plant next spring for
the purpose of furnishing power to
operate new stamp mill that is to
be placed on the Umatilla property,
and to distribute power to properties
In Orogrande. Buffalo Hump, New
some and Elk City mining districts.
The power company Is separate and
distinct from the Umatilla Mining
company and is composed chiefly OF
Chicago business men. The location
was made while Mr.. Schlosser was
looking after business here last sum-
mer, since when his engineer has
made careful surveys. estimates, blue
print charts, ETC.. which are now In
the hands Of the men who are finance
Ing the affair. The estimated cost of
the new power plant Is $4,000.
Develop 700 Horse Power.
1T is claimed the plant will de-
velop 700 horse power at low stage
OF the water, To attain this marvel-
Gus mower the waters from Ten Mile
creek and the Clearwater will be
united, the water from Ten Mile pass
Ing through pipe line three and a
half miles in length and the water
from the Clearwater being conducted
to the plant through a flume one and
hree-fourths miles long. The fall
n both streams at the points trav-
srsed by the conduits is great. At
high stage of the water 10000 horse
power can be developed.
Is Optimistic.
The new power company will be !
n position to furnish power to
lumber Of companies. Primarily it {
vas Mr. Schlosser's intention to find I
site that would generate power for ,
he Umatilla plant, but when he came {
cross the site mentioned he saw in 1t
N opportunity for a safe investment [
big returns, and he quickly I
ook advantage Of it. Aside from /
wning a property that is one of the /
nost promising, Mr.. Schlosser Is very Q
ptimistic on the results that are to I
ollow consistent and legitimate min

here is great future for mining
