PLANS FOR THE INTERSTATE

A small crew is engaged ir
prospecting the upper workings
Of the Interstate Mining, & Mill
Ing company, adjoining the Her
GILES mine at Burke on the west.
A crosscut Is being run to a
point 400 feet from the portal OF
the No, 8 level to reach the first
lead and to give a depth of about
Its feet.
In the early spring it is the in
tention Of the company to erect
a sawmill and compressor plant
and to drive a big 3OOO-foot tun-
mel to give a depth of 800 feet
on the first lead; 1000 feet on the
second lead and 1900 or 1900 feet
on the third lead. The claims of
the company carry ample timber
for all mining purposes and the
water rights are more than suffi-
cient for all needs. A splendid
showing Of ore has been made in
the upper workings.

RAINBOW LOOKING VERY GOOD

From two to four feet of ore
carrying gray copper, lead and
carbonates of iron have been ex-
posed in the property of the Rain
bow Mining & Milling company.
The tunnel on this property
has been driven $50 feet and
about 100 feet more is necessary
to get under the surface show
ing. The men at work on. the
tunnel have been laid of for the
time being and have been set to
exploring.
An open cut of about 10 feet
in depth was made on the sur
face and it was in this that the
ore referred to was encountered.
The surface showing consists of
an iron and gray copper Gaping
an / is one of the finest outcrcp-
pings Of the kind in the district.
When this showing encounter
ed in the tunnel, which will give
a depth of about 400 feet, it is.
expected that a splendid body of
ore will be exposed.
Manager George Austin took
samples Of the ore from the open
cut and will have assays made.
1t is expected that the returns
will be unusually high. 1t is
now the intention of the com
pany to drive a 60-foot tunnel to
get under the outcroppings.
In the lower tunnel the whole
face is impregnated with tale,
iron carbonates and gray copper
and it is the intention of the
company to go ahead with the
work in both places. The proper
ty consists of six claims located
between the Argentine and Gray
Copper mines, one mile east Of
Osborne and about half a mile
from the track of the 0. R. & N.
company. Herman J. Rossi is
president of the company; Henry
C. Adami, vice president; George
T. Marlowe, secretary and treas
urer; and G. F. 0. Merriam and

in one evening he performs the most
difficult, elaborate and complicated
feats of each. Everything is novel

His entire entertainment is present

his magical performance, they are all
tricks in which he makes you believe
