RUTH HAS GOOD CARBoNkTEs
The Lower Tunnel is Now in About
900 Feet

The lower tunnel on the property
of the Ruth Mining company has
been run in for 900 feet. The big
lead was cut when in 700 feet and
the ledge has been drifted on toward
the west for a considerable distance.
The whole face of the drift shows
carbonate ore of. high value and
some lead.
The Ruth is located west of the
Black Cloud on Nine Mile and Is
supposed to have the same lead as
the Pittsburg Lead company is work
ing. A depth of 400 feet has beer
attained and on account of the pres
ent favorable appearance in the drif
those interested are expecting tina
almost any shot will open up an orr
shoot of richness.
The ore shoot was opened on th'
surface and carbonates exposed will
good values in silver and lead.

Champion Cuts the Ledge.


The crosscut tunnel on the Cham.
pion property, situated on the head
waters of the st. Joe river and south
of Stevens Peak. has now cut the
ledge for a distance Of four feet, ac-
cording to President and Manager
Adam O'Donnell of the company.
1.-THE ore showing in the ledge as
far as we have gone Is the best We
have ever had on the property" said
Mr.. O'Donnell. The ore Is In the
form of chalcopyrites, with a little
bornite.
"A contract for 100 feet Of tunnel
work has been let to ]. l. johnson
and Peter McPhillips. The latter had
the previous contract.
"The surface showing OIL the
Champion is great" continued Mr.
O'Donnell, "being from IS to 100 feet
in width. parts sticking up 10 to 10
feet, showing chalcopyrites. This
part is called the big blowout We
have had bodies of chalcopyrites run
ming 80 per cent, but we expect that
the ledge showing will discount that
to a good extent.

Property Adjoining Success Mine Starts
After Two Months ldleness

After drifting as feet in the finest
kind OF ledge matter rock of char
acter in which ore Is found, the
crosscut tunnel In the Alameda
which encountered the ledge matter
will be continued ahead, and 1t Is
expected that the main ledge Will
be encountered in short time.
Work has been resumed at the
mine after a layoff of two months.
and the driving of the Success No. 2
tunnel is to be gone ahead with. This
tunnel runs south from the long tun-
mel which entered the Alameda
ground through the Success prop
erty.
The face of the south crosscut Is
in 161 feet from the long tunnel and
Is run at depth of about 800 feet
The crosscut, when in about 15O
feet, encountered the ledge matter
and the management had a drift on
the ledge run east and west for 40
feet, exposing, it is claimed, the fin
est kind of ledge matter, the charac-
ter of the rock being that in which
ore is found.
One shift of men will continue
development for the present time and
will continue the crosscut. From the
development made in the upper tun-
mel. it is estimated that the main
ledge will be cut into in short
time.

Silver Cliff Is Promising.

An excellent showing Of ore Is be-
ing made in the intermediate tunnel
of the Silver Cliff Gold and Copper
company's mine, situated on the
Idaho M ontana divide at Lookout
and 1t is expected that the east and
west ledge which traverses the prop.
erty will be cut in the next 20 or so
feet.
At present operations are being
confined to the intermediate tunnel.
but some of the best ore ever shipped
from the Occur d'Alenes has been ex-
posed In the upper tunnel. This haA
been driven distance of about $50
feet. The intermediate tunnel has
been driven about 555 feet and the
lower tunnel about 1916 feet. A sur
vey of the workings by Engineer
George Skuse showed that the lower
tunnel had still to be driven a dis
tance of from $50 to 200 feet to tap
the ore exposed In the upper tunnel.
The officers Of the company are as
follows: President and manager,
James d. Young; secretary and
treasurer, Ed. Young, and these, to-
gether with M. J. Shannon, are the
principal owners. The company has
heen incorporated for seven years.
and during the whole Of this time

POWER FOR the BLACK HORSE
Two Drills Will be Working Within

Patrick Burke who returned re-
Gently from the Black Horse mine,
near Murray. reports that arrange
ments have been made with l.. w.
Stedman, manager of the Paragon
and the Chicago-London to get power
from MS plant for running the drills
in the Black Horse.
The pipe line between the Chicago
London and the Paragon passes the
Black Horse, SO that it will be little
trouble to tap the pipe and get the
necessary power.
I'VE expect to have two drills
working at the Black Horse within
10 days. said Mr.. Burke, "and we
shall then push the work ahead
steadily. Our tunnel is in $50 feet
and we figure that 900 feet further
should put us into the ledge. Tht
ledge dips toward US so that we shall
be able to gain depth of 500 feet.
