RAINIER HAS fine SHOWING
Ore Runs High in Magnetic Iron---U Useful
For Fluxing

/ The Rainier group, situated on the
st. Joe, In the Stevens Peak district,
expects to resume operations within
a very short time. This property is
owned principally by P. H. Schulz
and Gus Peterson, both of Gem.
The groupings of the Rainier group
are an exceptionally heavy iron cap
ping, carrying 73 per cent magnetic
iron, besides showing gold, silver and
copper values. 1t is rather unusual
to find SO compact an iron Gaping
In this district and developme ent Is be-
ing watched with great interest to
see what grade of ore will be found
underneath.
Mr., Schulz expects to open up a
copper ledge and to Judge by the
solid cropping, underlying ore bodies
should be equally compact, the crop
ping being very good indication OF
clean mineral below
The ledge has been explored by
a number Of open cuts, showing
strong in every place and also dis
playing an ore shoot of considerable
length.
Cabins have been built and tun-
mel has been started that will cut the
ledge at depth of 200 feet.
The samples taken show that the
iron itself would be of great value
to the smelters for fluxing.
Should a smelter be built within
reasonable distance Of the Rainier,
the success Of the property is prac-
tically assured.

SONORA NEAR LEDGE
Fair Looking Ore Carries Some
Iron and Galena
LEDGE IS IS FEET WIDE
About $500 Feet of Tunnel and Shaft
Work Has Been Done on
the Property

The erosscut tunnel being driver
on the property of the Sonora Min.
ing company, near Burke, Is opening
up some fine looking ore, carrying
iron and galena in small quantities
and the owners are of the opinion
that the men are approaching the
neighborhood of the main ledge. 1--WE
expect to obtain the lead in about 20
feet more of work." stated G. w.
Gibbs.
Fully $500 feet of work has been
done on the Sonora in the way of
shaft and tunnel development. In an
upper tunnel the ledge was crosscut
and proved to be IS feet wide. The
present working tunnel is being driv-
en- to crosscut the ledge, $50 feet be-
yond where it was first cut.
The Sonora adjoins the Mark
Cooney group, near Burke. The sur
face showing is excellent. The stock
has been holding up we'll the past
couple of weeks and the demand has
been steady.

bodies of ore the future of the mine
was assured, and the value of the
property is said to have at least
doubled. The Hunter is known to
have been for sale, but at the owners
price, and since the lower tunnel has
been driven 1t promises to be one of
the richest mines in the district, and
several have tried to secure control.
Harry l.. Day, who is heavily in
terested in the Hercules, has secured
a large block of the stock in the Pan
handle smelter at Standpoint, and as
1t is said that the ore from the Her
cules can not be shipped there, it Is
presumed that Mr.. Day is looking for
the output from some mine to ship
to the smelter.
Mr.. Day and his associates have
ample capital to make the deal for
the Hunter and are interested in
nearly every prospect in the district
that has merit, besides controlling
the Hercules and Tamarack & Ches-
apeak.
AT the present time the Hunter
employs about 60 men, and in short
time will be able to give work to a
great many more, when the develop
ment work is little further ad-
vanced.

BIG .N|CKLE DEPOSIT
Thomas Gonyea Discovers Val.
liable Mineral Near Lane
ASSAYS SHOW $3.50 A TON
Neurological Department at Washing,
ton Passes on the Value Of the
Find--.Deposit Is Large

A ledge of good size carrying val
ues in gold and silver and also high
values in nickle, an ore exceedingly
rare in the United States, has been
encountered on the property owned
by Thomas Gonyea, near Lane.
Samples Of the ore were sent to
the meteorological department of the
government at Washington, D. G.,
by Mr. Gonyea, and he states that the
report received from that department
gave values Of $40O ton in the
nickel, together with values of $62
a ton in gold and silver, there being
about ounces Of silver and ounces
of gold to the ton. The report also
stated that like ore had pre-
viously been found only in Russia.
The ore body where Mr.. Gonyea is
working now is six feet wide.
The face of The tunnel is 400 feet in
from the portal and a depth of 200
feet has been attained. By con
tinuing the drift 1t is estimated that
a depth Of 1000 feet will be got.
Il have worked the claims for the
past six years." said Mr.. Gonyea,
"and have spent an average of $1,000
a year in development The ore was
struck on the Black Jack claim.
There are three claims in the
group, the Black Jack, Daddy Dollar
and SILVER Star. They are situated
mile and a half from Lane. The
claims lie end to end and it is
claimed that the ledge runs through
the entire length of the property.
Mr.. Gonyea is pioneer of the
country, having resided here since
1884.

sN0WsT0RM SOON TO OPEN

The Snowstorm has been carry
ing on development steadily since
ore shipment ceased in December.
This work has been principally
drifting on the ledge on the No. 8
tunnel and as exploration was
continued the quality Of the
ore increased in richness until
about 10 day ago the best grade
OF ore in the mine was opened up.
While no definite announce
ment Of the resumption Of ship
ping has been made it is known
that q number of orders for ore
are on hand but the company did
not feel justified in commencing
shipments until there were orders
enough in sight to keep the force
busy.
The men employed in the mine
have been informed that 25 to 80
additional men would be put on
the end of this month and that
as soon thereafter as possible the
full force Of 200 men would b.
at work.

PUSH WORK ON BIG CHIEF
Additional Force Will be Set to Work
--.Cood Showing Made

Victor Langley announces that. he
will put four or five extra men to
work on the Big Chief gronyA near
Osburn, within the next few weeks.
One shift oftwo men has been at
work steadily for months. Two tun-
nels have been run, one OF too 1GrA
on the Big Chief and another of $50
feet on the Golden Star, which ad-
joins it. The lower tunnel has been
on the ledge for so feet and crosscuts
of over IL feet on each side failed
to reach the hanging walls. There is
from seven to eight feet Of very good
looking mineralized matter, assays
from which gave good returns In gold
and silver.
The Big Chief consists of four full
claims adjoining the Polaris. The
claims are not incorporated in COM
pany and Mr.. Langley is the princi-
pal owner.

VORTEX NEARING ORE BODY
Gray Copper Found and Heavy
Flow of Water

Indications point to the proximity
of ore In the Vortex. Two men are
at work and considerable develop
ment has been done. An upper tun-
mel was run 70 feet into ore and the
lower tunnel was started 900 feet
below. This is now in $50 feet and
it was expected that 100 feet more
would have to be bored before the
ore body was reached, but the dip is
toward the tunnel and for the last
rs feet there has been a heavy flow of
water and good showing of gray
copper and iron has been uncovered.
The outcrop shows fine capping OF
iron 27 feet wide and this was run
into not far from the surface by the
upper tunnel.
The property of the Vortex is dia-
gonally across the gulch from the

Veit,s recent letter in response

Mr.. Bryan charges among
other things that the steel trust

Foraker's Detense--Tries to
Explain Connection with
Standard Oil.

Cincinnati, Sept. 26.-Senato,
Foraker has issued a statemeu,
in reply to President Roosevelt,
in which he attempted to ex
plain mis- connection with the
Standard Oil company and in
which he also makes mild at
tack on Roosevelt and assails
Taft.
The senator gave out what he
says is all the correspondence
that passed between him and
John Archbold, including the
letters made public by William
Randolph Hearst, that made
known his connection with the
oil trust. Senator Foraker en-
deavors 10 prove with the let
ters that the $50,000 he rece iv-
ed from the Standard Oil COM
pany was far the purpose of buy.
ing the Ohio State Journal and
that after it was sold to others
the money was returned to the
oil company.
Senator Foraker's attack on
Roosevelt consists of criticisms
on the conduct of the pres.
ident in taking notice of the
letters made pubic by Mr..
Hearst, but in his attack on Taft
he makes distinct charges. He
declares that last August during
the Republican candidates vaca-
ton, Mr.. TAFT was the guest of
y. Il. Lewis, a Standard Oil at
torney, during his stay in Toledo
and at Middle Island. The sem
ator adds that TAFT was also
a guest of a glass trust magnate
named Richardson, and accepted
an invitation on the latter's yacht.
He also alleges that the candi-
date travelled on the private cars
OF the Officia OF the railroads
over which he travelled during his
trip.
Foraker declared that employ.
ment in "decent trust" is not
Objectionable, and it is to Taft's
credit that he endorsed John ii.
Doyle, Standard oil lawyer,
to preside as federal Judge.
