new WORK ON IDAoMoNTANA HECTOR TUNNEL IN $50 FEEL

The Hector Mining company
property has seen some of the most
continuous and active development
Of any prospect Of the district dur
ing the past year or more. Eight
men are at work at the property
now under the superintendency OF
Arthur George and the development
is being prosecuted as rapidly as
possible.
One force Of men is engaged in
crosscutting the south lead. This
tunnel is now in $50 feet. The
tunnel is really a drift on the for
nation, as the ledge crosses this
formation. It is estimated that it
will take $50 feet more Of tunnel
ing to catch the vein.
In the upper tunnel work is being
to get the north lead.
Owing to the dip the distance to
the ledge is not known.

George Hynes Of Missoula, arrived
in the city yesterday and will re-
main here several days on business
connected with the Occur ,d'Alene-
Montana mine located about two
miles southwest of Trout creek, and
in which he is one of the principal
stockholders, says the Sanders
County Signal. He states that a
large force of men are drifting on a
33-foot lead which was recently cut
while driving the tunnel at a depth
Of $50 feet. Samples Of ore selected
at random from the lead assaycd
from $27 to $11O. Mr.. Hynes is
very enthusiastic over the future out
look of the mine, which he declares,
is one OF the most promising OF any
in Sanders county. Besides the
gold values, the rock also carries
good values in copper and galena.

MEETING
Old Officers and Directors Reelected.
Erection of Mill Discussed.

A meeting of the stockholders oil
the Montana-S Standard Mining com
pany was held last week for the
transaction Of the annual business
Out Of the 100000 shares OF
capitalization there were $4,000
shares represented at the meeting
Those present were j. d. Murphy
of Spokane, M. J. Maher Of Burke,
and Otto A. Schenck of Columbus,
Ohio.
The directors reelected for the
following year are: J. D. Murphy
Of Spokane, M. ]. Maher Of Burke,
M. J. Lisle, O. A. Schenck, B B.
Baker and John Chester of Colum
bus, Ohio and III. Eddy of Chicago.
The following officers were re-
elected: President, M. j. Lisle
vice president, M. j. Maher; sccre-
tary- treasurer, O. A. Schenck ;
manager, Fremont S. Rowe.
The matter of building mill at
the property was discussed, the
directors present having paid a
visit to the mine just previous to
holding the meeting. It was de-
cided to run a 7O0-foot drift be-
fore erecting a mill or making
plans for one as the ore exposed at
the end Of that drift would necessi-
tate change in the size of the mill
to be built
There are three ore shoots in the
property and the drifting has been
on the two western ones Mr..
Murphy who has been spending
the summer at the mine, stated
that there were from six to eight
feet Of concentrating ore exposed.
More than 1000 feet of stopping
can be done as soon as the mill is
built.
The Montana Standard is located
in Sanders county, Mont, 10 miles
east of the Bitter Root range and
II miles from Thompson Falls and
Burke.

MORNING TO TEST NEW TABLE

A concentrating table that viii
save the values of the ore to within
2 per cent and that has numerous
other advantages over the tables
BOW in general use, is the device
which Chas. B. Walker, a Joplin
man, has invented and received a
patent for and which will be tried
out in the Morning mill in short
time.
The main advantage of the
table, y says the inventor, is, Of
course, that it saves within 2 per
cent of the values of the ores and
does it with half the amount OF
feed. Two of the great differences
in it from any other table is the
driving device and the rifles.
1t is driven with double cam
gear and there are no toggles at all
to make adjustments from. The
rifles are made of boiled cypress
and the rifles and deck are made
in one solid piece. Nothing can
warp or give from the deck of the
table.
The fitting device is simpler
and easier than any other table.
The water box is easy to adjust and
the feed box to carry the ore on fc
the table is easy to manipulate.
The deck in size is 5x14 feet.
The base is all steel and makes a
self$upporting foundation for car
rying the table There are only
four wearing parts in the driving
device Of the machine.
Mr.. Walker has been handling
shines since 1891, he states, back
in the Joplin district. In 1884 he
invented square tank device for
treating shines and this is still in
use in the Joplin district.

|DORA DISCHARGES MORTGAGE
Property Cleared by Proceeds From
Sale Of Treasury Stock

The directors of the Idora COM
pany held a meeting in Spokane
recently and resolved to pay the
mortgage Of S12, 900, a report from

were ample funds on hand for this
purpose, derived from the sale of
treasury stock. The payment of
the mortgage cancels the last of the
$1,000 indebtedness incurred by
the company prior to .he financial
depression Of last year.
The fact that the company has
been able to raise money from the
sale of the stock and discharge its
Indebtedness while the mine il
closed down, is very encouraging.
1t has been practically demonstrate
ed that the property is a mine, fine
ore bodies of a high grade having
been encountered in the main work
ings.
1t is planned to sell limited
amount of treasury stock for de-
yclopment purposes only. The
company has about 35O,O shares
of stock still in the treasury. Work

The main vein on the Blue Jim
property is 10 feet wide and shaft
is now in ore. Samples taken from
it run from $31 to $62 per ton in
silver, copper and gold. 1t is said
that the gold values will average
$40 per ton. A selected sample

Vein Of Crystalized Lead 20 Feet Wide
Is Discovered.

~ 0SeSOVGIeOs
Good reports are being received
from the Idaho Montana Mining
company, five miles east of Burke.
The property has been extensively
developed and has fine showing
Of galena and on a parallel vein
some good copper has also been
opened up.
In recent visit to the property
R. B. Hoffman, Arthur Orr and
Manager F. P. Miller traced the
main vein when a new showing not
previously observed was discovered.
A couple Of men were put to work
on the new discovery stripping the
vein which proved to be 20 feet
wide, the filling consisting Of
crystalized lead, galena and iron
carbonates, Characteristic of the
large producers Of the district.
A crosscut tunnel now being
driven is within 200 feet of the
vein which will tap the original
surface showing at a depth Of ap-
proximately 500 feet. By drifting
distance Of about 400 feet easterly
the new showing can also be ex-
plotted.
There is another excellent show
ing about 1400 feet westerly from
the center shoot which can also be
readily tapped" said President
Hoffman.
The company owns a group of 10
claims which have been under
steady development for the past
two years. They adjoin the Hen
nessey- Burns on the west.
