PROGRESS At THE STANLEY
Affairs of the Company Are in Excel
lent Shape and Profits are in Sight.

There has been quite an active de-
mand for stock Of the Stanley mine
during the past month and what lit
tie was floating around has been
picked up. The affairs Of the COM
pany are in excellent shape and the
outlook is most promising.
Two true fissure veins have been
opened up in the Stanley group, one
running in northerly and southerly
direction, containing rich antimony
and gold ores and the other running
in an easterly and westerly direc-
ton. the ores of which carry consid-
erable lead. The vein containing an
timony and gold has been extensive
" developed, and in 1t about 10000
tons of ore have been blocked out
which will average from 10 to 20
per cent antimony and will carry one
ounce to the ton in gold and about
one ounce to the ton In silver. Be-
sides these large ore bodies the COM
pany has on the dump about 80 tons
of shipping ore which will run from
so to 70 per cent antimony and about
200 tons OF milling ore which Will
average about 20 per cent antimony
and contains one ounce in gold to
the ton.
The company has secured a lease
on the mill of the New Jersey prop
erty, located about half way between
Wardner and Osburn. and arrange
ments have been made to start up
this mill as soon as the wagon roads
will permit the hauling Of ore to the
railroad and from the railroad to the
mill. The shipment Of ore Will re-
ouire haul of about 1000 feet from
the mine to the railroad and another
haul of about the same distance from
the terminus of branch track now
being nut in near the New jersey
mill.
1--WE have made many practical
experiments at the New Jersey mill
with the ore from the Stanley" SAID
W. w. Merk, "and although the
tests were made on old plates ano
old concentrating tables, we demon
strated that we can save $40 tor
on the plates and the concentrates

TERRIBLE EDITH HAS ORE
Large Body Of Low Grade Mineral
Good For Concentrating

There is plenty of good concen-
trating ore In sight in the lower
workings of the Terrible Edith prop
erty near Murray according to Wash
ington Snyder, a pioneer mining man
of that district. The ore is OF low
grade but is improving as progress
is made in the drift.

PROSPECTS NOT AFFECTED

unimportant, and the American
Smelling and Refining plants work
solely with lead as collector.
1.-THE figures show that 15 pounds
of lead were required to collect down
one ounce of gold and one of silver.
Out OF this Is pounds the Occur
d'Alenes furnished S25 pounds. or
55.7 per cent. The production OF
lead ore In Colorado Is dwindling
every year, and that the shortage Is
weakening the metallurgical suprem-
acy Of the state is fact acknowl-
edged. The development Of large
tonnage OF dry ores similar to the
Colorado production nearer home. in
volume enough to absorb the Occur
d'Alenes' output. would put the Colo
RADIO plants almost out OF business.
They could not compete. and would
have to put the costs so heavily ON
the other dry ores that mining would
ba Improbable.
I'm any case, the Juicy capitalisa-
ton Of the smelter trust would be
severely squeezed. When lead was
selling for $3.50 per 100 pounds in
New York. the trust paid Its Colorado
producers 81 per 100 pounds. In the
effort to stimulate the output.
! "As to future developments, there
will be a greater degree Of prospect
ling done on the outskirts Of the Occur
d'Alene district. owing to better eco
nomic features. The district between
White Pine and Belknap. on the north
side of the Northern Pacific railway.
Is a highly favorable one. Here the
formation Ia similar to the Coeur
d'Alenes, but lies flatter. and is In
truded by diabase dikes. forming deep
fissures which are heavily mineral
lied. Around Carter there will be de-
veloped some large lead mines. fully
equal to the Occur d'Alenes. AT
iron Mountain there will be greater
development. In such localities cost
will be much lower. and the ores are
less difficult to treat. consequently
the prospecting effort will gravitate
thereto.
"The present slump In metals can
not continue. There are great oppor'
tunities open to investment, provided
It IS done under competent advice"
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-03-26

The Silver Cliff Mining company,
which has produced some of the rich
est ore ever mined in the Occur
d'Alene district, expects to strike
its big lead within the next SO or so
feet. Work has been carried on all
winter though 1t has been delayed
onsiderably by the water freezing
on several occasions.
James D. Young, who was In Wal
lace over Sunday. said:
I'VE are engaged in drifting now
ON the north and south lead and are
driving for the east and west ledge
At the point Of intersection we assur-
edly expect to find something well
worth while. We have been cutting
stringers of good looking ore every
few feet. The tunnel is in over 14OO
feet and we expect to get the east and
west lead in a very short time. A
fine showing is made in the upraist
from the intermediate tunnel. OuI
ore is in the form OF carbonate and
copper glance"
The company shipped one car o.
ore which netted we'll, over $1,000
ton. Assays made by Engineer Skus'
of Mullan showed copper of excep
tional purity. 1t ran as high as 6!
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-03-26

We were handicapped by using ma
chinery which is not modern and up
to-date. Since making them we have
replaced the plates with new and
modern and we will put in Whitley
tables or new card concentrator
tables. such as are now being tested
at the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine.
I'VE feel confident that we can
save from $12 to SIS a ton In gold
on the new plates and that with the
new tables the concentrates will be
higher in antimony than those shown
in the recent experiments. When the
mill is equipped the product from the
same will amount to at least $4,000
a month and 1t is possible that we
may have a profit Of that amount
monthly. We can deliver the ore
from the mine to the mill for about
81 per ton. The total expense OF min
ing, hauling and milling will not ex-
ceed IS ton"
Mr.. Merk stated that during the
year 1907, the company shipped two
cars of ore, which netted the COM
pany at Burke, a total value OF
$5023.55.
The Stanley company owns seven
claims in one group, which have
been patented. These claims COM
prise 115 acres. Four claims adjoin-
ing the patented property, contain
ing about 40 acres are now oeine

: George Huston, In an interview
given the Missoulian, predicts that
1908 will be splendid year for the
Coeur d'Alene district. He is quoted
in part as follows:
The Snowstorm, with the resump-
ton Of operations at Butte. will be
turning out its usual tonnage. as soon
as the smelters are in shape to re-
ceive it.. There promises to be a
larger demand than before, owing to
important California smelters. 1t Is
pretty safe to say the Snowstorm Will
do herself proud during the coming
season. The better class OF prospects
are working as II the panic had not
occurred. During the next 80 days
there should be several good things
coming In, with a consequent jump
in stock prices.
There are statistical reasons fol
the general feeling Of optimism pre-
vailing in the Occur d'Alenes. The

Activity Is Anticipated There
the Coming Season
MACHINERY BEING LAID DOWN
The Washington, Idaho 4 Montana Rail-
road 10 Expected to Extend lts Line
From Harvard to the Mines.

Much activity is anticipated this
spring In the Hoodoo district OF CEN
tral Idaho. Several companies have
done considerable development work,
and new machinery Is being brought
in now. AS yet the snow is so deep
that access to the mines is difficult,
but preparations are being bade so
that with the first thaw men, lum-
Der and machinery can be taken In.
During the latter part Of last season
some valuable gold and copper de-
posits were confirmed, and there is
a feeling OF confidence In all the
nearby towns.
The Washington. Idaho & Montana
railroad, which has a logging road
into this country as far as Harvard,
will extend its line to the mines,
which lie further back, as soon as a
tonnage is assured. From present
indications, this seems a matter OF
not more than one season.
The Mispah Copper Mining com.
pany will begin development within a
short time. There are already sew
eral tunnels and some drifting done
on it's property. The first work will
be an upraise in No. 3 tunnel to con-
meet with the 50-foot shaft, which
will open up a body Of ore to depth
Of 900 feet. and will enable the COM
pany to begin shipping soon.
The ore is cuprite. malachite and

"Our little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No; said it was eczema. By, this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
q little yellow pirnple on one OF her
eyes. OF course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any,
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
