GREAT WESTERN INCREASES
Force Of IL Men Now at Work on
Burke Property

The Great Western increased it's
working force the first of the month
to IL men. Miners are working two
shifts and muckers three shifts.
The Great Western is located two
and half miles from Burke and is
considered one of the best equipped
properties in the district. 1t has a
good compressor and SO horsepower
motor, two bunk houses, dining room,
blacksmith shop, machine shop and
other buildings. The company has
never missed shift since August
IL, 1904. A tunnel 1900 feet long
has been cut. This crosses the ore
ledge 400 feet from the portal and
the balance of the distance is par
allel to 1t. A depth of 900 feet will
be reached at the point where 1t Is
expected to cut into the ore body.

IRON KING IN ORE
Calena Found Along Footwall
After Following Lead so Feet
CR0SsCUT IS IN 40 FEET
The Ledge Was 50 Marrow At the Place
Where Crossed That il Was Con-
sidered Only Stringer

The drift being run on the Iron
King property has followed the lead
easterly for SO feet and has opened
up some pure galena ore. The ga
lena ore was encountered along the
footwall. The Iron King is located
on the Osburn road, near the samp-
ling works.
The property has been developed
to great extent by tunnel and shaft
work. The crosscut was in 410 feet
when the lead was struck. The
ledge was so narrow at the place
where 1t was crossed that 1t was sup
posed to be a stringer and the cross
cut tunnel was driven in for total of
SIS feet.
The management finally gave up
work on the crosscut and returning
to the place where the stringer was
cut followed it in an easterly direc-
ton. 1t widened out soon and
proved to be the ledge sought for.
James Gam is president of the
company and one of the main stock
holders. He also has the contract
on the Iron King for so feet, which
Is about completed. When this con-
tract is completed it is probable that,
considering the favorable showing,
the directors will let another con-
tract for 100 feet. Mr. Gam is TAX
Ing pay entirely In stock, being salts
fled with the showing on the prop
erty. II am positive that there is
mine there" said he.
1t is estimated that 1t will take
zoo feet of work on the lead to get

PANHANDLE REORGANIZATION
Montana Mine Owners Interested ir
Idaho Smelter Project.

Three feet of solid carbonate ore
has been cut through in the crosscut
tunnel driven on the Panhandle to
get under the shaft, which was sunk
on the ledge, according to the state
ment made by Patrick Brady Satur-
day.
The ledge has just been encount-
cred in the crosscut tunnel and will
have to be driven a number of feet
yet to get under the shaft, and It is
impossible to tell just how rich the
strike will prove to be.
The shaft sunk on the ledge is
down IS feet and there is a good
amount of galena and carbonate ore
in sight in the shaft. The tunnel is
being run to join the shaft at a depth
OF 100 feet, or Is feet deeper than
the shaft has been sunk.

EAST sN0WsT0RM PROMISING
Crosscut Runs Nearly All the Way in
Mineralized Rock

One of the most likely looking
prospects at the present time is the
East Snowstorm, one of the C. E.
Mitchell company's properties.
A crosscut was run south from the
60O-fOOt station in the tunnel, but
did not encounter ore of Importance
I'm the big vein.
1t was decided then to run a cross
cut from the 600-fOot station north
through the country rock to en-
counter a parallel vein which is
known to exist in the property and
which outcr0ps in the creek about
160 feet north of where the main
tunnel starts into the mountain.
This was in mineralized rock almost
the entire distance, but not in vein
matter.
At the point where the crosscut
started north, cubical crystals of iron
sulphides were found which averaged
3 OF. In gold. These crystals were
found in punches and stringers
throughout the crosscut. Frequently
assays were made, some of which
gave unimportant values. The later

permit one unit from the West Fork
and one unit from the East Fork, and
each for two cubic feet per second.
This water is conducted to the stor-
age tank, SxSxS feet, in box flume
IA inches wide by IL inches deep
and $500 feet long.
The Pelton wheel with which the
plant is equipped is working under
a gross head of 1876 feet and is driv-
ing an Ingersol straight line belt,
driven by class "B-I" compressor,
having a 10Ax12-inch air cylinder
with capacity of 1T cubic feet Of
free air per minute.
This compressor is rated to operate
three ~ Inch or one 1-S-inch In
gersoll-Rand drill. A 12-inch pump
and wheel is also installed and is
driving dynamo capable of generat-
ing power for SO 16-candle power
lights.
The total cost of this plant COM
plete was approximately $4,000. The
result of this combination of plant
has been that in a district where an
average contract calls for about $12
a foot work, at the Moon Creek prop
erty it has been continued at rate
Of as low as 81 per foot, even under
the most adverse conditions with re-
gard to the water supply, and in
normal times at an even greater saw
ing than that.
In less than six months of actual
operation the installation of the plant
has more than paid for itself, de-
velopment work has been carried on
at saving of not less than so per
cent and at speed of fully twice as
much as could be obtained without
the equipment.
1t Is in matters of this sort that
the investor really gets good run
for his money, and 1t is a matter 70,
argument whether there is another
in this section of the country
where as big showing has been made
n the time and at the cost of that on
ne Moon Creek property, under the
management OF Mr.. Peeper.

DRIVE BIG TUNNEL
Reindeer Makes Contract With
J. H. Nordquist for 2,7OO Feet
WILL COST COMPANY $4,000
Effort Being Made to Have the Copper
Queen Join in Bearing the Ex.
pense of Undertaking

At meeting of the main stock
holders of the Reindeer Mining COM
pany. held Tuesday evening, John II.
Nordquist announced that he would
take the 2700-foot tunnel contract
for the company. The directors ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the result as the success follow
ing Mr.. Nordquist's other operations
in the district were a guarantee that
the work would be satisfactory to
the stockholders.
The contract Is at the rate of $40
a foot or total of $4,000, consid-
cred reasonable price for the
amount Of work involved.
An informal meeting of the direct
ors was held Monday evening at
which Mr. Nordquist was present and
the matter was thoroughly discussed.
Tuesday Manager w. H. Herrick and
Mr. Nordquist visited the property,
near Mullan, to inspect the condition
of the property and equipment.
The meeting Tuesday evening was
attended by F. C. Norbeck, Norman
Ebbley. w. Fl. Herrick, j. A. Wayne,
j. H. Nordquist and DR.. J. A. Grant.
The Reindeer company will prob
ably have to expend a sum Of about
$500 in order to get things at the
property in shape for work. Repairs
will have to be made to the compress
sor and other equipment
Manager Herrick has been negotiat-
ing with the Copper Queen company,
by p. B. Crawford and
Dr.. D. e. Keys Of Mullan, in regard
o the Copper Queen sharing with the
Reindeer In driving the long tunnel
md bearing half the expense. The

That the Moon Creek property, OF
the gulch of the same name, is abou
to become a mine, was settled con
clusively Saturday afternoon, wheI
rich strike of ore was made. Tn.
extent of this ore body has not ye
been determined, but its. richness Is
undoubted A sample of the ore was
brought to Wallace by Manager J
Peeper and this has been placed or
exhibition in the office of H. M. Ian.
caster.
This sample carries values of from
70 to 80 ounces of silver and aver
ages from 35 to 40 per cent lead and
carries good values in copper at the
same time.
The drift has been run for about
175 feet on the south lead and for
some time prior to the strike on Sat-
urday streak of about Is inches,
carrying fair values, had been show
ing in the face of the tunnel.
For almost 1SO feet the men have
been working in continuous ore
shoot and for almost the whole of
this distance good milling ore has
been encountered. The latest strike
of high grade ore removes all doubt
as to the future of the property, and
there is every indication that the
mine will join the ranks of the big
shippers within very short time.
The formation in which the pres
ent ore has been encountered is prac-
tically identical with that of the
famous Hecla mine at Burke, and it
is doubtful ii there is another mine
in the whole Occur dAlene district
which can show results equal to that
of the Moon Creek company, in COM
parison with the amount of work
done.
The work at the mine has been
carried on by Manager pepper in a
more economical manner than in any
other mine or prospect in the district.
Last May the company secured from
the state engineer right to use the
water of Moon creek in two-unit

assays showed steadily increasing cop
per values, the iron sulphides chang
ing their appearance and carrying
considerable chalcopyrite. A stringer
four inches wide was found which
contained cubical crystals of enorm-
GUS size embedded in lime matrix.
This vein material was assayed and
showed $13 gold.
Finding these minerals in the
country rock indicates the presence
of a good ore body somewhere ad-
jacent. The company has great ex-
pectations for this crosscut.

THE IRON MOUNTAIN TUNNEL

The big tunnel of the Iron Noun
tain Mining company is now only 80
feet away from the old shaft, which
will be its terminus. To avoid the
flow of water an upraise is being
made and the connection with the old
workings will be made on a down
ward slope from this upraise to break
the force OF the water flow when 1t
is encountered.
