F|NOs RICH sTR|NGER

A stringer Of lead-silver ore six
inches wide has been cut through in
the Tucker property, located seven
miles east Of Mullan, at the head Of
the Occur d'Alene river.
The samples were taken from
the erosscut tunnel at a point that
is $50 feet in from the portal" said
Peter Balm, president Of the COM
pany. The stringer is six inches
wide. We have cut through a half
dozen stringers il the tunnel that
carry milling ore but this is the first
one with shipping ore. The other
stringers were from two to eight
inches wide.
Il believe that it will take about
so feet yet to tap the vein. The
lead is so feet wide on the surface
and the groupings carry values OF
So in silver. The depth where this
last stringer was cut is 250 feet.
When the ledge is cut we will have
at least 300 feet Of depth.

CRosscuT CHAMPION LEAD Isl. WESTERN REPORTS cool

A crosscut of the lead in the
Champion Copper property on
Stevens peak is being run at a
distance of 700 feet from the portal
of the drift. The crosscut was
started from the face of the drift.
The crosscut has run Is feet from
the hanging wall and it is estimated
that it will take about 35 feet to
get the footwall. There was a
showing in copper ore in the drift
where the crosscut was started and
now a quantity Of black diabase is
being opened up with some spar
streaks carrying copper.
Two other crosscuts were driven
on the ledge, one $50 feet from the
portal and the second 400 feet from
the portal. The first was Is feet
long and the second Is feet long,
showing an increase in the width
of the lead OF 10 feet in a distance
Of so feet. Manager O'Donnell
states that he does not believe
either wall was tapped in these
crosscuts.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-09-24

Good reports continue to, come
from the Great Western Mining
company, located east Of Burke.
Charles Criswell said: In the
crosscut, when in about 45O feet, we
cut the vein and found it to be IA
feet wide carrying a low grade lead
silver ore, assays Of which gave re-
turns from 7 to II per cent in lead
and 2 to 3 ounces in silver.
Here we ran a 25-foot raise and
cut out a station and skip pocket Of
5O-ton capacity and have completed
the installation Of a hoist capable Of
sinking to depth of 500 feet. II
is the present intention OF the COM
pany to sink a Wine on the ore a
couple Of hundred feet although we
expect to encounter first-class ore
within 100 feet. NJ .lty-s
Altogether, the development OF
the property consists Of more than
1000 feet Of tunneling. All our
machinery is electrically driven,
and we are thoroughly equipped
and work is going ahead nicely"
