.ElkHoRN MINING COMPANY
Articles Of incorporation Being Prepared

Articles of incorporation for the
Elkhorn Mining company are now be-
ing drawn by Walter A. Jones. The
directors of the company will include
Mr.. Jones, ]. C. Williamson of Boise.
P. w. Johnson, Robert w. Collins
and F. E. Denbeigh of Occur d'Alene.
The company is formed to develop a

about Is miles north Of Murray and
approximately 10 miles from the sur
vey of the Idaho Northern road. The
claims have an outcrop showing 1OO,-
600 tons of we'll mineralized rock.
The lead is Is feet wide and has been
followed for 5000 feet. Assays show
Sc in gold and two ounces of silver.
A valuable water right is also
owned, from which it is said enough
water can be generated to run every
thing in the district and the land Is

timber.

GRAY COPPER IS IMPROVING

An important strike has been made
on the property of the Gray Cop
per Mining company located on Nc
Farren gulch near Osborne, accord
ing to the report received at the
local office.
A foot of solid gray copper OF
shipping quality has been cut in the
bottom of the shaft and Is by far the
richest and most encouraging re-
suit the company has yet obtained
in it's development.
Manager w. H. Herrick states
that it is the intention to drive the
tunnel down to 100 feet depth after
which crosscuts will be run to fur
ther explore the vein.
The ore in the bottom Of the shaft
can be picked out easily and the
company will probably ship a car
load as soon as such quantity has
been taken out in the ordinary
course of development.
The force at the property has
been increased and work will b.
pushed with vigor.

were made with fair degree of regu-

favorable contract with the smelter
was in existence covering long
period. The lease of Mr.. Francis and
his associates was to last until Au-

block of stock held under option at
25 cents was to have been made un-

Since Mr.. Francis gave up the lease
it has been announced that new

EAST BUFFALO DEVELOPMENT

Development work on the East
Buffalo property will be resumed at
once. The contractors left Saturday
for the property which is To-
Gated near DeBorgia and adjoins the
Buffalo. The directors recently let a
contract for 200 feet of tunnel work
to Louis Sartori and Antoine Quadri,
who held the contract last summer.
The contractors will take part pay
ment in stock.
A car and supply of rails as well as
other supplies were taken out Satur-
day.
The crosscut tunnel Is now in rs
feet and will be continued to tap
the vein which it is estimated will be
intersected considerably within 200
feet. Drifting will be done under the
contract if present plans carry out.
The East Buffalo has an unusu-
ally fine surface showing. Samples
from the groupings have assayed as
high as 20 per cent lead and 5 per
cent copper. The lead shows on the
surface to be from Is to 20 feet
wide
The main stockholders in the prop
erty are Wallace men, being Hugh
Toole. Emil Pfister, William Fish
niger, William Newell, Joseph Cher
ardi and James Longhini.

in addition to a watchman.-
The Copper King had an excellent
showing in the upper workings and
in boom times the stock sold to over
70 cents share. The vein is six
feet wide and two feet of mineral on
the footwall gave assays of 2S per
cent lead, Is ounces of silver, per
cent copper and per cent zinc. A
raise was run on this last summer for
so feet, showing ore all the way and
sinking for 100 feet gave similar re-

EAST SNOWST0RM REPORT
Management Satisfied that 1t Has the
Vein of the Snowstorm Mine

lies west of the East SnowstOrm. This
was the condition Of things last
month when Mr.. Scrafford went to
the mouth of the old Snowstorm
shaft along with some of the officials
of the Snowstorm company. There,
setting a compass on the vein and
pointing it in the direction of the
course of that great vein from which
the high grade ore is taken, he found
that it took a straight course through
the East Snowstorm and pointed
north of the head of the most wester-
ly crosscut in the East Snowstorm.
Where the compass pointed the out
crop of the big vein was then found
at the base of the mountain where
the creek crosses the East Snowstorm
property. TO cross that vein the
present most westerly crosscut must
be extended 145 feet. When that
much additional work is done 1t will
be over 1000 feet deeper than has
yet been reached by the Snowstorm
development. This Is because the
Snowstorm is at the summit Of the
mountain, while the East Snowstorm
is at the creek level at the base of the
mountain. Hence the Snowstorm
company is deeply interested in the
East Snowstorm development and is
giving all possible moral support and
encouragement toward the continue
ton of this work, because 1t will
show up the character of the Snow
storm ore over 1000 feet deeper than
has yet been reached.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-06-25

1--WE have always supposed that we
had the vein of the famous Snow
storm mine in our East Snowstorm
ground. Now we know we have it, "
says the C. E. Mitchell company in
it's regular progress report just pub
lished.
"Our mining manager, John M.
Scrafford, was recently permitted to
inspect the Snowstorm mine. The
tunnels in the Snowstorm run in the
same direction as the present cross
cut in the East Snowstorm. Mr..
Scrafford found the formation identi-
cal in the workings of the Snowstorm
mine and in our crosscut. The Snow
storm tunnels cross the same strata
that our crOsscut has encountered,
and he could tell by the appearance
of their tunnels that we are ap-
preaching the Snowstorm vein.
Heretofore along the 600 feet Of
main tunnel, and the crosscuts, more
or less ore such as gray copper and
copper glance occurred sparingly in
a fine state of division, disseminated
through the rock. Occasionally
pockets occurred where large masses
appeared. 1t was never abundant
enough to be classed with shipping
ore, or concentrating ore, though
some of the small pockets were high
grade, and very little, If any, OF the
rock was entirely barren. Hence the
search continued for ore comparable
in grade with the shipping ore OBJ
tained from the old SnOwstorm which
