RICH STRIKE IN sN0WDR|FT
Solid Chalcopyrite Encountered at 4
Depth Of 40 Feet

B. M. Francis, the bonder Of the
Rex mine, who is largely interested
in the Snowdrift company which
owns a group Of claims adjoining
the Monitor mine near Saltese on
the east, has at last received defin-
ite report concerning the recent
strike on that property. This re-
port is to the effect that after sink
ing some IS feet in good copper
carbonate ore, similar in character
to that OF the Monitor and Rich
mond mines near the surface, the
shaft has broken into high grade
chalcopyrite assaying from 81 to %
per cent in copper and from $12 to
SIS in gold. The shaft is now 45
feet deep.
The property is controlled by
Missoula people, Johnson 4 Olson
of that city being large owners as
well as Mr.. Francis. Messrs Force
and Metz Of Saltese are also largely
interested and Mr.. Force is in
charge of the work.

BLUE WING COMPANY
Manager Rossi Reports on Years
Operations. Outlook Bright

The following report has beer
mailed to all shareholders of the
Blue Wing company by the local
management. It is signed by
Herman J. Rossi as secretary:
Operations on the property o1
the company have been continuous
for over year and with the excep.
ton Of a small amount Of stock
disposed of, development work has
progressed continuously at the ex-
pense and on funds advanced by
the principal owners.
THE present lower tunnel is in
approximately 300 feet, which,
with the grading for and the erec-
ton Of commodious blacksmith
shop, tunnel house, locations and
work on additional new claims
located for the company, has all
been done in the best possible man
ner. As the survey indicates that
the present lower tunnel must be
run about $50 feet further to tap
the ledge which we are positive runs
through over 5000 feet OF our
ground and is a continuation of the
now famous Black Cloud -Pittsburg
ore shoot, the principal owners and
directors feel unable to entirely
cope with the entire expense and
an assessment Of five mills per share
has therefore been levied.
The work done and the show
ing produced entities us to the sat.
isfaction we enjoy therein and we
feel with considerable pride that it
is as good as the best if not much
better than on nine-tenths Of the
developments in other properties.
We stake our reputation on the
statement that no better or more &C.
economical work has been done and
we would gladly continue to ad-
vance the entire sum needed to
complete the work at present going
on to the ore shoot were we in fin
ancial position to carry the entire
load.
From present indications and
surveys it is safe to say that the
ledge should be encountered before
the end Of this year and if our
hopes are realized, and cool judg-
ment warrants the assertion, we
will have a dividend paying mine
in the Blue Wing in 1907"

stringers of high grade ore are being
encountered.
Only watchmen are as yet EN-.
ployed at the Stewart mine and

early resumption Of work.
The Leslie mine has stocked up
with supplies for the winter and
Manager Wesley Everett expects to
strike the ledge shortly.
James Bolder reports that the

gulch is opening up better ore right
along.
At the Nine Mile mine the pre-
liminary work is being done prior
to starting the upraise from the

At the Sister mine the upraise
from the lower level has been COM
pleted to a connection with the
winze from the tunnel level.

The Silver Star company, whose
group lies between the Hunter and

the vein.
The Sunrise company is working
four men on its Sunset Peak group

THE |DoRA COMPANY
It Owns Five Claims Besides the Old
Colwyn Group

$VsWyu 01VNP
It seems the Miner was in error
in stating that the Idora company
owned no other property that the
old Colwyn group which Larsen,
Peterson 4 Co. bonded, purchased
and later transferred to it. A letter
from D. w. Peterson Of Spokane,
secretary Of the Idora company,
says:
The bond which the Peterson
company held on the old Colwyn
claim and three fractions was not
transferred to the Idora company
until the bond had been fully paid,
but this transfer was made some
time ago, as you no doubt saw from
the legal NOTICES.
THE Idora, ever since it's incor-
poration, has owned the claims
now known as Idora No. /, No. 2,
No. 3, No. 4. and No. 5, and now
owns in addition the Colwyn claim,
Triangle fraction, Tuscumbia frac-
ton and Colwyn fraction, these four
being the property bonded from the
old Colwyn company. There is
absolutely no hitch in any way,
shape or manner as to the title to
any OF the ground owned by the
Idora company, which we are glad
to prove to any of our stockholders
or others who may be interested at
any time"

yet been encountered the indica-

either direction. No upraising has
been done as reported by the Times.
