ALAMEDA IS SURELY A MINE
No. 2 Success Tunnel Shows Full Face
Of Good Concentrating Ore

THE development work now in progress the Alameda
indicates that it is mine 1t adons the famous Sue
cess on the east and occupies the whole summit of the
mountain between Nine Mile and Canyon creek part Of
its Nine Mile slope and practically the whole eastern slope
down to Canyon creek. Covering it does the same
quazite belt between granite walls and embracing the
least broken up section of the mountain has always been
regarded by mining men of discernment most likely
property
It now shows good face of concentrating gaena and
zinc This showing in the extension of the Success
No. tunnel which is already we'll into Alameda ground
being least Is feet beyond the dividing line between the
two properties.
The showing is in drift which is being on the
southern hanging wall ledge, distant probably some
where from Is to Is feet from the granite contact How
wide this vein cannot be positively stated but there
many evidences that it is between 10 and wide
crosscut will be shortly to determine it's actual ex
tent
While the face has for distance shown good mill
ing for it's full width the amount of clean has
greatly varied At times it has beh almost solid sui
phde and at others low grade concentrating material
On Sunday last the face solid mineral from which
eage assays of Al IL per cent lead with SO of sill
yer and 81 per cent in zinc were obtained
While drifting will be pushed as rapidly as possible
is the intention Of Superintendent O. H. Linn who also
the superintendent of the Success me to crosscut the
ledge first to the hanging wall then to the foot The lat
ter wall lies than 200 feet to the norh and another
and probably richer body raveses the property within
a few feet of it.
The present workings at depth from the surface of
over 425 feet The old Alameda cosscut tunnel cuts the
about 100 feet ahead of them and 300 feet
higher This crosscut showed the south vein but
in the north ledge it opened up IA Is inches of almost
clean shipping galena.
The Alameda is controlled by Butte people, Mayo,
Sachs Co. being the largest They are so pleased
with the reports that they receiving from the property
that representatives of the firm will be here
to inspect the property next week.
The mine brought to their attention and the con-
troll ultimately transferred to them by Paris H. Renshaw
Co. of Wallace who have always pinned their faith on
the Alameda mine and whose good Judgment and good
luck seems now likely to net them as we'll as their
Butte associates large fortune.
O. H. Linn is another man whose faith in the Alameda
has never atered He worked for years on the old Gran
te now the Success and has been largely instrumental in
proving that mine to be the bonanza property u.s. after
many of the foremost operators in the country had turned
it down. AS he puts it, The vein in the Alameda is just
as strong the Success and the Alameda
covers the best part Of the mountain In my opinion they
are absolutely certain to develop more shoots of
high grade gaena such the Granite had near the
face and from which it took out over $780, 900 in dv
dends The Alameda ore bodies will doubtless prove as
wide long, rich and persistent those mining
in the Success"
