M|ss0UA LOOKS FOR LEAD
Expects to Strike Il About the First
Of May

A survey Of the Missoula Copper
property at Mullan was made last
week to determine the exact location
OF the ledge tapped in the upper
workings and the one being driven
for in the working tunnel. The re.
port Of the engineer shows the lead
will be cut 900 feet east Of where the
ore was struck in the upper workings
and when encountered will give a
depth of 700 feet.
The report shows that the Inde-
pendence tunnel up to the time OF
the survey had been driven 1403 feet
To get perpendicularly under the up
per workings about 800 feet more Of
tunnel would be necessary, but as the
vein dips toward the tunnel it is ex-
pected that only about $50 or 200
feet more will be necessary and this
may be done about May 1.
The, Missoula is working about 16
men at the present time. For the
past month they have made six feet
a day.
The lead expected to be encOun-
tered soon is the one struck in the
upper tunnel when in about 275 feet.
This lead was drifted on and cross
cut and showed SO feet of low grade
copper ore. When tapped at a
depth of 700 feet this lead Is ex-
pected to show high grade copper.

WILL DEVELOP TUCKER GROUP
Contract will be let in the SPRING
Directors Elected

At a meeting Of stockholders OF the
Tucker Mining company, held Satur-
day, Peter Balm made report of the
work done during the past year. He
stated that a crosscut to the main
tunnel has been driven 240 feet, and
the ledge will be encountered, accord
ing to present calculations, when the
tunnel is in 400 feet. This will give
a depth of 800 feet.
"The outcroppings carry native sill
yer and splendid values Of copper,
and 1t is thought the lead Is the same
as the Snowstorm lead. The Snow
storm mine lies about two and half
miles west Of the Tucker.
Samples OF ore taken from the sur
face assay $40 in gold, silver and
copper. A 200-foot tunnel contract
was completed March IA, and since
that time no work has been done on
the property, but Mr.. Balm has gone
to the mine to get things in shape for
letting another contract
The Tucker company owns six
claims, which are traversed by the
ledge 5000 feet. Some of those heav.
lily interested are Dr. Charles Mowery
Harry Harris, Peter Balm, Peter Ort
quist, Florence Tucker and w. w
Bixby.
Directors for the ensuing year were
elected as follows; Peter Balm
president; Harry Harris, vice presi
dent; w. w. Bixby, secretary-treas
urer.

SMELTER IS BOUGHT
Panhandle at Ponderay Taken
by Independent Producers
CAPACITY IS ESQ TONS DAILY
Contracts for Ore are Now Being Made
by c. c. Titus and Plant May
Operate in About 40 Days

Control Of the Panhandle smelter,
located at Ponderay, Idaho a mile
and half east of Standpoint. has
been given the Montana Mining as
sociation and within 80 days the
management of the plant will pass
into the hands of the association,
says the Butte Copper Age.
The Panhandle smelling plant is
said to be modern and in good con-
dition and has capacity of $50 tons
per day. With but few additions,
the capacity can easily be raised
to 800 tons day. 1t Is said that
the plant can be placed in operation
under the association management
within 40 days and contracts are
now being taken by c. c. Titus OF
Helena, on behalf of the association
for the treatment of ores.
1t is understood that the associa-
ton was given an option on 81 per
cent of the Panhandle stock, thus
giving the officers of that organiza-
ton the right to operate the plant
as they shall choose. This agree
ment will enable the association to
regulate smelling rates for independ-
ent producers until such time as the
members shall see fit to erect q
smelling plant at some convenient
point In Montana.

My Dear Mr.. Everett: am much
pleased to learn through the papers

GRAY COPPER SHOOT W|DENS
Company Now Has Three Feet Of Rich
Shipping Ore

THE ore shoot in the Gray Copper
mine has widened from less than a
foot to over three feet of clean ship
ping ore, and the miners are piline
up the ore at the portal of the tunnel
for shipment" said w. H. Herrick
after a visit to the property Tuesday.
1--WE are developing the property In
the upper workings, before we open
up the lower tunnel. We will con-
tinue to drift on the ore and have
started to sink on the vein. The vein
is quartz carrying rich gray copper
and silver. Samples have been taken
out to assay and they are fully as
rich as some that were assayed last
fall, which went from $50 to $50
per ton.
The property is about a mile and
a half south of Osborne, between Nc
Farren and Myers gulches. We have
a good wagon road most of the way,
and just as soon as the snow goes off
we will ship to the Tacoma smelter.
The ore will have to be hauled
about a mile and half, but 1t is all
down grade.
Some of the heaviest stockholders
in the property are the Buell. Broth
ers of Osborne and C. w. Gibbs, F. II.
Moore, A. G.. Moore, E. f. Hall and
w. H. Herrick, all of this city.

CARBONATE HAS ORE
Property Adjoins Idaho Giant
and Boulder Greek Company
ASSAYS IS TO $50 Per TON
Il 10 he Intention to Continue Drift
Gaining Foot for Foot Until 1900
Feet 10 Attained

A large body Of fine concentrating
ore has been encountered In the
property of the Carbonate Hill Min
Ing company in the Occur d'Alenes,
adjoining on the west the property
OF the Idaho Giant and the Boulder
Creek company and bounded on the
east by the celebrated Carney group,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
The ore in the Carbonate Hill was
encountered in a tunnel driven on
the ledge, which is now in about
$50 feet, cutting the ore at a depth
of about 375 feet. The ore encoun-
tered is now the full width of the
face Of the tunnel and is growing
richer as the work progresses. AS
says of the ore gave values Of from
IS to $50 per ton. The manager Of
the property is convinced that within
100 feet a large body of shipping
ore will be opened up.
When the tunnel in the Carbonate
Hill was in 292 feet crosscut was
made for a distance Of 80 feet
through the ledge without reaching
the hanging wall. In making this
crosscut the miners cut through rich
stringers of galena ore and consid-
erable pure steel galena. The work
of drifting was then continued on a
vein of lode matter which has WIDEN
ed out as the work progressed until
the big body Of concentrating ore
was struck. 1t Is the intention OF
the management to continue drift
ing on the ledge where now foot
Of depth Is gained to every foot OF
tunnel until depth of 1900 feet
has been acquired.
The Carbonate Hill group consists
Of 10 claims and extensive develop
ment work has shown that the same
big ledge which runs through the
Idaho Giant and the Carney group
cuts through these claims. The main
tunnel on the property on which the
strike was made will be extended to
the line Of the Idaho Giant property
It Is believed that before this tunnel
is completed. the property will be.
come a shipper.
The officers of the Carbonate Hill
company are: George H. Martin
president; ]. s. Phillips, vice presi'
dent: D. X. Mcdonald. secretary and
John e. Hoppe, treasurer. These
officers constitute the board OF d.
rectors and are the principal stock
holders in the corporation.

The proposed - permanent Mine
Makers association is going through
with an enthusiasm unequalled in
this district. Almost nightly there
is formal or informal meeting to
discuss the project and the sentiment
that has been worked up throughout
the district is only second to that
which has been aroused in the east
ern country among those who have
money invested.
Here are extracts from two of the
many letters received by Wesley Ev-
erett regarding the formation of the
Mine Makers association:
Binghamton, N. Y, Mar. 25, 1908.
Mr.. Wesley Everett; y
Dear Sir: l read with pleasure the
article in the Wallace Miner of
March 10, regarding the org ami
zation Of the Mine Makers as
sociation of the Occur d'Alenes,' and
take the liberty of informing you that
this is long step in the right direc-
tion and fulfills in measure my own
ideas of just what every mining dis
trict in the west needs badly.
l believe, and in fact, am thor
oughly convinced, that II the mine
owners and operators of the real
mining industry which Is adding bill
lions to our country's wealth, would
organize and put down and out for
ever the fakir, schemer and fraudu-
lent promoter, there would be no
trouble whatever in securing funds
enough to finance every legitimate
mining enterprise.
II the millions which have been
sunk in the pockets Of swindlers and
dishonest management were at the
command of the honest mining men
In the west, all that would be neces-
sary to finance company would be
to simply state that you had good
thing and wanted the money.
You can not blame people for be-
ing skeptical. They have been rob-
bed and plundered by every known
and unknown device OF the gifted
swindler's talent, under the mantle
of the nations greatest industry.
They are like the vultures which
follow the great caravan, living and
thriving because it lives and thrives.
Let your slogan be, "Out With the
Fakirs," and put your mines on a
clean, honest foundation Of business
principles and you'll get the money
am glad to see this movement
started and especially by you min
ing men of the Occur d'Alene dis.
trict, as it proves that they have the
good of the business at heart, and
have more faith in the great, perma'
nent resources of the Occur d'Alenes

MONITOR WILL NOT SHIP

The Monitor mine. located in the
Occur d'Alenes. near the Montana
line, which has shipped ore for three
seasons to the Tacoma smelter, will
probably not be operated this season
unless the price Of copper advances
to Is cents or better, according to a
statement made by H. J. Read, the
manager of the mine.
DR.. Read believes 1t the best busi-
ness policy for all copper producing
companies to close their properties
rather than have them worked out at
present prices, which give only a
small margin Of profit. Pending
better market conditions, the work
at the Monitor will be confined to
development which will be resumed
In June.

with enough success to place the In
vestments Of the district on such a
high plane that when you want
money for development purposes, all
you will have; to do will be to give
the sign, to set it rolling your way in
punches.

sentiment anyway, and when you get
