GOLDEN CHEST PROPERTY
Murray's Big Gold Mine to Have 100
Stamp Mill Installed

the exception of the Bunker Hill Z
Sullivan company at Wardner, owns
more mineral ground than any other
company in the Occur d'Alenes.
1t ID the intention Of the company
to erect a 100-stamp mill. equipped
with The best modern machinery to
save the values as soon as the Idaho
Northern railroad Is completed. The
product Of this mill alone will prob
ably mean bigger gold produc-
ton in the Coeur d'Alenes than ever
before in the history OF the country
and probably more than double or
treble the product Of the placers in
their palmiest days.
Like the lead-silver mines Of the
district the gold mines now require
concentrating machinery for the bas-
er ores and because OF the presence
OF much iron sulphide which de-
grades the value of gold concentrates.
All that IL required to reanimate the
gold mining industry is cheap and
better transportation, and as soon as
the Idaho Northern railroad is con-
structed new life and new activity
will characterize the owners of dor
mant but developed gold mines.

HARTFORD COMPANY
New corporation takes over five
claims near Wardner.
ASSAYS As HIGH As $3.50
Tunnel has been run $50 feet. Lead
string ers found running SO per cent.
Outcrop traced 5000 feet.

The Hartford Mining company
which was recently organized to take
over five claims near Wardner re-
ports that the tunnel, which is in
$50 feet, followed the vein, which is
true fissure, and was In carbonate
Of iron for 225 feet, when an ore
shoot 1S feet wide of carbonates Of
copper was encountered. The several
assays from this varied from 1926
in lead, silver and gold to $3.50 in
copper. The rest of the tunnel was
run on the fo0twall The vein is
remarkably we'll defined and
mineralized for the entire distance.
Several stringers of lead and silver
were cut which run so per cent in
lead. The tunnel is very close to
the first cross ledge and has two
feet Of quartzite heavily mineralized
on the hanging wall which was cut
showing a width of IA feet.
The outcrOp OF ore can easily be
traced along the course of these veins
at various points for over 5000 feet
varying from 8 to IA feet of gold
bearing quartz and some lead and
silver. There are all the indications
below the surface that tend to show
strength and permanency Of these
veins of ore.

BUTTE IS 70 BOON
Reports from East say mines will
open very soon.
JOHN D. RYAN cOM|NG HOME
Dispatches from Boston and New York,
cay that enormous sales Of copper
have been made for export.

Dispatches from Butte say that
talk Of an early resumption of the
mines Ia about the only subject OF
conversation on the streets and In
corridors and the bulletins from the
eastern stock commission firms are
full of predictions that 1t will be but
little while until the order for
resumption is received. The start
Ing up Of the sawmills in western
Montana is considered as good
kOmen and the fact that John D. Ryan
the managing director Of the Amalga.
mated company, left New York fol
Butte last night is cited as another
indication of possible early ,resump.
tion, a number believing he has the
order with him which will set the
wheels of the hoists on the Butte hill
again in motion. Dispatches from
eastern firms are most encouraging
A Boston dispatch says:
"The United Metals Selling com
pany is said to have sold 55,000,00C
pounds of copper the past week
cleaning up its surplus on hand"
Another Boston dispatch to Paine
Webber & Co., says:
There is steady improvement,
with fair sales of copper around
13 1-3 cents, and It is, believed the
metal will advance from this level
very soon."
A New York correspondent OF
Paine, Webber & Co., telegraphs:
II hear on good authority that the
copper crowd in New York is feeling
much better, due to tremendous sales
OF copper in the past 40 days. In
some circles this selling Is estimated
as high as 74,000,0O0 pounds, most
OF It going abroad. The tip is out
to buy Amalgamated, Anaconda,
North Butte, Coalition and Greene
Cananea on any weak spots.
During the shut down development
work in the North Butte and Coali-
tion properties was pushed with all
possible vigor. The North Butte
company has sufficient ore opened
up in the Edith May vein alone to
warrant a production of 1900 tons
daily for the next four years. Its
main shaft is now down 22OO feet
and crosscuts will soon be started
on the 1000 and 2200-foot levels
The Coalition company Is also In ex
cellent shape, with about $4,0O0.OO(
in It's treasury and splendid ore re
serves in both the Rarus and Minnie

four inches in the past IA feet. No
assays have yet been made and 1t is
estimated that 1875 feet will have to
be run yet before the main lead is
encountered. The ledge on the sur

for approximately 1900 feet. We
are preparing now to erect new

TRADE DOLLAR SHUTS DOWN

Active development work has been

the fact that the water supply has
been cut off. The flume by which
water is conveyed to the Trade Dollar
from the Hercules has been stopped
up by the fine tailings forming q sort
Of mortar and until the flume 10
cleaned nothing can be done at the
property. Manager e. H. Pattison
states that 1t is probable that the

The management OF the Happy
Day property located east Of the Her

in the next 20 feet from present indi-
cations. The crosscut tunnel which
is in over 500 feet will cut the lead
at depth Of from 400 to 500 feet.
While driving the main tunnel a
small stringer OF six inches in width
was cut through and to determine
the source Of this stringer 1t was
followed q short way. widening out
to 16 inches OF iron and galena and
turning toward the ledge. As soon
as It was demonstrated that the
stringer was an off shoot of the lead
it was dropped and the cross cut
driven straight for the ledge.
