BLACK HORSE IS A WINNER
Mining Expert from British Columbia
Praises Paddy Burke's Property

William P. White. former manager
OF the st. Eugene mine at Moyie
B. c., made an examination of Pat
rick Burke's Black Horse mine at
Murray recently. He says:
There is a splendid showing of sill
ver-lead ore opened on two levels
to a depth of $50 feet below the out
crop; the ore is continuous for the
above depth, which is proven by rails
es and wines.
"A crosscut which is now being
run Ito tap the ore chute about 500
feet below the lower workings) is
now In over 800 feet; the total dis
tance Of this crosscut to the vein Is
about 75O feet, which leaves $50 feet
more to run before encountering the
ore chute. The completion of the
above crosscut will give the mine an
immense area of stopping ground, be-
sides the ore already opened up on
the upper levels.
There are two other veins which

CHAMPION ORE SHOWING WELL

Matt Coyne has come in from the
Champion Copper property in the
St. Joe country and says that ap-
pearances in both of the drifts be-
ing run from the crosscut tunnel are
showing some good ore.
At the place where the ledge was
cut two drifts were started, going in
opposite directions. Each is now
in about 20 feet from the point OF
commencement.
The tunnels are following one
wall and good ore is showing up,
largely of chalcopyrites, with some
bornite and peacock. 1t is claimed
that the ore is already good enough
to work if the facilities were on the
ground, but not of a quality that
would return a profit under present
conditions.

ExcHEQuER IS RICH IN GOLD.
Five Feet of Quartz Discovered at a
Depth Of Twenty Five Feet

Five feet of gold quartz ore is ex-
posed in the face of the drift which is
in 40 feet on the Exchequer group
of claims, near Kellogg.
This ore has been found at the
depth of only Is feet The drift Is
being driven to get under the hill
at depth of 800 feet on the ledge
and will require 600 feet of tunnel
work.
"The vein is true fissure vein, .
said j. l.. Haight. I'VE started to
work on the ledge and have followed
it 40 feet. We have nov exposed
five feet of gold quartz ore in the
face. Assays run from $3.50 to
$11.35 in gold to the ton.
I'VE have been working the
ground in small way for the past
eight years, but real development had
not been started until this year. The
property is open to inspection to any
one who cares to examine it,"
The Exchequer group consists of
four claims, located between Elk
creek and Slaughterhouse gulch,
about a mile and a half from Kel-
logg. The claims are bounded by the
Gold Bug group on the east. A
wagon road passes right over the
dump, while the railroad Is accessible
at Kellogg, a mile and a half away
The electric line of the Water Pow
er company is within a mile of the
property. There is convenient mill
site and good tunnel site. The
Gold Bug mill can be readily used
for treating the ores. The vein is
the same vein as in the Gold Bug.

STEWART PROSPECTS POOR

The attempt to float an additional
lot of 250,000 shares of the Stewart
Mining company stock, has not been
a success, says the Anaconda Stand
ard. Stockholders did not subscribe
freely to the additional stock which
was offered at par and payable in
four installments, the last of which
was due May 1.
Less than rs per cent of the issue
was disposed of in this way, and up
to the present time the management
is said to have no plans for raising
the money needed in the payment
Of the floating debt incurred in the
construction of the 150-ton mill. The
stock issue was not underwritten.
The plant and mine of the Stewar,
are still idle.

Walter J. Brackirs and Associates ep.
Grating in the St. Joe District

The Schulz Mining Company is
being formed by Walter J. Bracking,
J. b. Tuttle, Jr., p. II. Schulz,
Gus Peterson and J. I. McAviney.
The stock is fixed at 81 500, 600 in
shares of one dollar each and is de-
clared worcestershire as long as any
stock remains in the treasury, and
100000 shares will be placed in the
treasury for development purposes.
The company is organized to take
over and develop a group Of seven
claims in the St. Joe district, south
OF Stevens Peak on the line Of the St.
Paul road. These claims are now
under development and the outcrop

iron. The vein has been exposed
by several open cuts for d distance
Of over 1900 feet. A shaft was sunk
at the point where the showing was
best to a depth of rs feet and ex-
posed excellent lead carbonates in
cluding crystalized lead. A tunnel
has been started lower down to tap
this showing at a depth of 800 feet
and is now in GO feet. 1t is estima-
ted that this will have to be contin-
ued 400 feet further before the lead
is encountered.
The property is considered an I'M
portant one and the owners Of these
and adjoining claims are very san
guine of the ultimate success Of the
enterprise. The claims are just to
the north of the Wonderful on a
parallel ledge and to the east Of the
Eagle.
At the present time a small force
is operating but this will be in
creased in the near future. The
notation and direction Of the COM
pany is in the hands of Mr.. Brack-
ing who is well known as a mining
man of large experience. He is de-
voting his entire attention to the af-
fairs of the new corporation and his
ability should ensure the success OF
the enterprise.

ACTIVITY NORTH OF MURRAY The SCHULZ MINING CO..
Many Prospcctors Working on North
Fork Of Coeur d d'Alene River

Great activity prevails on the
north fork of the Occur d'Alcnc
river. More prospcctors are there
than ever before and many new
and promising claims are being
located.
J. c. Williamson of Boise, has
just purchased five claims about Is
miles north of Murray in the Union
district and approximately 10
miles from the survey of the Idaho
Northern road. These claims have
an outcrop showing 100000 tons of
well mineralized rock. The lead is
IS feet wide and has been followed
for 5000 feet. Assays show six
dollars in gold and two ounces of
silver.
Mr.. Williamson has . valuable
water right from which he says
enough power can be generated to
run everything in the district and
the land is well stocked with fine
grade of timber. 1t is his intention
to organize company in the near
future and incorporate. Several
business men of COeur d'Alcnc city
are interested in the project with
him.

SURPRISE HAS new DISCOVERY

-Four feet of clean shipping
galcna ore is reported to have been
cut through in the lower tunnel of
the Surprise mine on Pine creek
The miners have been running the
lower tunnel for several months
and have lately been drifting on the
vein. The recent strike was made
at depth of some $40 feet and is
considered one of the most impor-
tant discoveries made around Ward
for many months.

parallel the above which have very
good showings of carbonate ore and
which l believe will show big bodies
of ore when explored, in fact, the out
crops on these veins are equally as
good as that which the present ore
chute was opened up from, the pres
ent ore chute being one of the finest
(if not the finest) showings | have
ever seen in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict.
THE property is heavily timbered
with good mining timber; enough,
should judge, to last the mine (while
working) for at least Is years; there
Is also ample water for all mining
purposes.

The latest strike in the Beartop
property is considered by mining
men to be one of the finest ever
made in the district. Nearly five
feet OF pure solid galena ore was cut
Saturday and further prospecting
constantly reveals greater richness
in the vein.
The ore body Was struck about
two weeks ago and was drifted on
for about so feet at which point
there was a full face of fine ore.
A fault was encountered exactly as

CONTRACT FOR l00.FT. TUNNEL
Five Hundred Feet Of Work Required
to Get Under Outcrop

A contract for 100 feet more of
tunnel work has been let on the
Butte & Occur d'Alene property at
Mullan. The contract for so feet
of drifting has been finished and
shows the vein to be about 25 feet
wide with high values in lead-silyer.
The work from now on will be for
the purpose of getting under the
outcrop. It is estimated that it
will require 500 feet of work to
reach the desired point.
Eight men are employed working
in two shifts. The tunnel is at
present in about 700 feet.
