ROB ROY BRINGS TITLE SUIT
Commences Action Against Sunrise
Company for S59x834x267 Feet

Suit for the quieting of title in an
area of conflict has been filed by the
Rob Roy Mining company against
the Sunrise Mining company. The
plaintiff asks that the defendant
company be temporarily enjoined un-
til trial and then permanently re-
strained from entering on this area
OF conflict between the two claims

president of the Rob Roy Mining
company, and Isaac Davis located the
klondike claim In the Beaver district.
March 16, 1907. Mcdonald, It is
claimed, sold an undivided one-eighth
interest in the claim to man named
Smith and later the plaintiff COM
pany purchased the claim from the
original locators and from Smith.
1t Is claimed that the defendant
owns the Little Bug claim adjoining
the Klondike and that during the
summer of 1907 had the Little Bug
surveyed so that it overlapped on the
klondike, making an area in conflict
Of S59x843x267 feet and then filed

Is the intention of the company to

before this work will be completed,
said Superintendent George Presslcr
yesterday.
The company has just finished cut

IDAHO SPRING eULcN Co.

At meeting Of the stockholders
of the Idaho Spring Gulch Mining &
Milling company, held at Mullan, all
the former board Of directors and
ofhcers were reelected.
The report OF the manager showed
that 525 feet OF tunnel had been driv-
en- in the lower workings and that a
30-foot tunnel with a 50-foot shaft
had been driven In the upper work
ings.
It was decided to continue the work
In the lower tunnel 1t is estimated
that the ledge will be struck in about
200 feet more. and 1t is probable that
200-foot crosscut will have to be
driven also as the present tunnel is
running between two veins. Several
large stringers Of quartz have been
encountered.

Second Well Defined Ledge Discovered
BY the Working Crew
Another ledge besides the one we
have been working on in the Swastika
property has been discovered, It is
thought, said George E. Marlowe,
secretary of the Swastika Mining
company. "The ledge shows gold
quartzite, while the ledge we have
been developing is rich in copper.
THE new ledge Is situated half
way up the side of the hill and was
brought to the attention of the fore
man by his finding boulder at the
foot Of the hill. The boulder showed
traces of gold quartzite and a little
search to see where the boulder came
from showed the ledge"
Speaking Of the work being done
on the property. Mr.. Marlowe re-
marked: Two shifts are employed
ana WILL work all winter. The work
will be in the lower tunnel. II the
vein dips at the same angle as in the
upper tunnel we expect in 10 feet
to get 800 feet depth on the ledge.
However, II the ledge straightens up
1t will take US 200 feet yet to get the
ore.
The Blackfoot Mining company
expects to build a railroad up Four
Mile gulch in the spring to get oui
its timber, and the Swastika CON-
pany is negotiating for the use Of the
track to get the ore down the gulch
to the Northern Pacific, a distance of
about four miles"
The Swastika Mining company has
a group of 10 claims and millsite
on Four Mile gulch, near Morgan

Mineralosist Of Marquette, Mich, Went
Through Golden Winnie

AuSOuSn O0loen winnie
J. H. Jacobs, capitalist and min
erologist Of Marquette, Mich, was In
the district this week and made an
inspection of the Golden Winnie
tungsten mine near Murray, as we'll
as Of other properties. Mr.. Jacobs
has studied the formation of most Of
the big mining camps Of the country
and arrived In Wallace from the Sal
mon river and Snake river country,
where he made an extended research.
The trip to the tungsten mine was
made in company with David Gross.
who is one OF the chief owners of the
property.
"Of course the mine is only in the
development stage at this time," said
Mr.. Jacobs, "but there can be no
doubt about the fact that they have
lots more ore than is now in sight.
"The formation in this district is
the most regular Of any In the state.
I could see as much when Twas cross
ing Occur d'Alene lake. When you
have a mineral belt here you can
bank on 1t that 1t extends for some
distance. The formation continues
we'll to the east and to the north,
but south 1t is badly broken up"
Mr.. Jacobs recommended a stamp
ing process, similar to that used by
the big mines Of Michigan. for the
treatment of the tungsten ore.

ORE STRIKE IN HERCULES

Ore has been cut in the face of
the 5,OOO-foot tunnel, or tunnel
No. 4, in the Hercules mine.
The ledge was struck Friday.
It had been calculated that the
ledge would be struck about
December Is, but owing to there
being more dip in the lead than
had been figured on, the calcul-
ations were upset. While it had
not caused a great deal Of un.
easiness, it did cause much
annoyance, and now that ore
has been encountered those
vitality interested are feeling
elated. 1t will mean that the
mine will continue to pay divi-
dends tor many years.

Without doubt both furnaces will

probably will, but there is no

this stage of the campaign. It's Z
case of work with them, and they
are plugging at it hard.
It is a striking fact that it is not
a national cafabafsa that is being
waged this year, although the pres

states with national issues subordi-
