New Strike in the Morning

A second vein has been encountered
in the crosscut of the Morning mine in
the Metaline district, according to Man
ager Strowhun.
In the same tunnel. No. ;, the vein IS
60 feet in width and as depth goes on
the lime rock is disappearing and the
vein goes into the quartz formation and
the silver deposit improves. The Morn
ing is now ready to furnish ore to the
mill, according to the agreement be-
tween itself and the Mammoth.
President Davis went to the Dean
Lumber Co.'S plant at Bluesl!de Tues
day morning. to superintend the start
ing of the RATS Of lumber for the erec-
ton of the concentrator. The erection
of the mill is under the supervision Of

FIDELITY STARTS WORK
Preliminary Work on Construction
of New Plant Starts Today
Will Be Completed by Spring.

President b. l.. Willis. of Spokane.
president of the Fidelity Lumber Co.,
J. c. Jacobson, one of the local superin
tendents, went oyer the site of the COM
pany's proposed new mill across the
river from town yesterday, and located
sites for temporary structures to house
the men engaged in the construction OF
the big mill.
Mr.. jacobson informed THE MINER
that the work Of clearing the grounds
would be started today. and that the
construction OF the mill would be con-
tinued during the winter. it being the
intention to have the plant ready for
operation early in the spring. The COM
panv has completed the big boom from
Il point just below Albeni Falls. and the
Great Northern will soon commence the
construction OF spur from the falls to
the mill site to handle the tonnage which
will arise from the new industry.
The mill will have capacity OF 25,-
900, 900 feet annually and planer will
also be built next spring. The COM
pany has an ideal site for a mill, as it is
perfectly level, and they own all the
ground necessary for their purposes.
Complete electric light, water and sew
erage systems will be installed. A hotel
building, Office. supply store and resi-
,iences for workmen will be constructed
The new mill town will not, however
he a competitive town for Newport, as
one OF the company's objects in building
across the river is to get away from fire
risk, which they expect to do by con-
trolling all property and buildings in the
town, which will enable them to carry
on the manufacture OF lumber to the
beat possible advantage.
The decision of the company to pro-
ceed with the construction of the mill
means that the matter of better ferry
service across the river must be ham
died at once. 1t is difficult matter for
the town authorities to engage in, as the
landings are in Idaho. However, the
Fidelity people must have better ferry
service, and between that company,
Bonner county and the business inter-
ests OF Newport some, feasible method
of operating free ferry can doubtless
be devised.
The new mill will be the largest in

a good deal of time heretofore lost in
making transfers.
1t was expected that the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy trains would be
running through here by September 1st,
but it will be later as the work on the
Billings & Northern is not vet COM
pleted.
The ordinance granting street and
alley vacations to the 1. & w.
n. was signed by Mayor Appel.
and its publication in the Miner TODAY
makes it effective. Now that the last
obstacle in the way of the companv's
work has been removed the streets and
crossings will be put in the same good
condition as has already been done on
the Idaho side of town. There will be
no ragged, edge disfguring cuts when
the word is completed
At the request of the l. & w. N. the
street grade on Fourth street has been
changed so that both sides of the street
conform, which is great improvement.
The company will now 60 ahead with

and the building of driveway to the

built along the north side of their depot
grounds.

Mining Notes

A body of gold and copper ore of un-
determined size was struck last Friday
in the Grandview mine in the Metaline1
district. The ore assays from SO to $l4l
in gold, copper and silver with but a.
trace of lead. The strike is entirely
outside the silver-lead belt, said MIR.
Welty, chief owner of the property. The
formation isslate and shale. The ore is
easily traceable for a distance of 1900
feet but the surface showing is so broken
that it is impossible to tell the width OF
the vein. The owners will soon COM
mence the driving of 500 foot crosscut
tunnel which will tap the ore at depth
of about 400 feet.
No Metaline stocks are as yet listed
on the Spokane mining exchange, but
there has been considerable demand of
late for the stock of the Morning Mining
& Milling Co. and it is likely that it
will soon be listed
1t is reported that several placer
claims along Sullivan creek are being
worked with fairly good results, the
gold being worth about SIS an ounce.
Under new management and greatly
enlarged the smelter at Ponderay, near
Standpoint, will open for business before
October 1st, after which it will be
operated at full capacity. There are al
ready on hand awaiting treatment over
two thousand tons of ore and more ar
irving daily. The opening of the smelter
will be beneficial to the mines in this
section as the haul to the smelter is
short and very favorable rates are being
quoted by the navigation and railroad
companies Much of the Metaline ore
can be cheaply treated at Ponderay as it
Is of character needed for fux.
The Silver Lead Mining Co. has taken
up water right covering 80 cubic feet
per second on the north fork of Sullivan
Creek in the Metaline district. The
water will be fumed distance of two
and one-half miles, in which distance
there is drop of 250 feet.

DONATE CHURCH Site.
Panhandle Lumber Co. Deeds
Valuable Property
Must Be Built Within One Year

Papers were recorded at Colyille the
past week by which the Panhandle
Lumber Co. deeds to the Pioneer Edu-
cational Society, better known as the
Jesuits Society, part of the set set of
section Is, 31-45.
This tract is part OF the Panhandle
section in the northwest part of town
and consists of one city block and is
easily worth $4,000 1t is situated on
Warren and First street and but two
blocks from Washington avenue It has
been logged this summer.
The generosity of Mr. Black we'll and
his associates of the Panhandle Lumber
20. in making this valuable donation
should be thoroughly appreciated by
our people. There are but two conditions
attached to the gift, one is that it shall
be used only for church purposes, and
the other that a church structure must
be erected within a year. from the date
of the deed.
Under the ministry of Father Folchi
the Catholic society has kept pace with
the growth of the town. Their meetings
have been held OF late in Kelly's hall
there being no home large enough to
accommodate the attendants. The go
ciety is now engaged in the work of
raising funds for the building of a
church. The ladies have taken hold
and recently gave successful supper
which is to be followed this fall by a
church fair.
The building of this church will help
to make Newport attractive as place
of residence for people of that faith.
The movement should have the support
OF all our people.
