100 feet and it is expected that
the ledge will be encountered in

nation is undergoing a change
at present and a good deal of
iron is beginning to show in the
country rock.
A good showing of crystallized
lead, iron and quartz was made
in the upper workings. The
present workings will give an
additional depth of about $50
feet. The property consists Of

PHED0RA SOON 1osTART WORK

An attempt is being made at

force of men. Work will CON-

ground will permit of the haul
ing of supplies into the mine.
Later on this force will be ma
terially increased and develop
ment pushed throughout the
summer.
All outstanding indebtedness
of the company has been taken
care of and the treasury is in
good shape. The property con-
sists of 10 full claims located
near the famous Jack Waite
property in the Murray section.

CON. IN GOOD ORE
Drift of 100 Feet More Will Get Under
Ore Shown in Upper Works

Fred D. Willard returned to Wallace Monday after a trp Of
inspection to the property of the Satese Consolidated Mining com.
pany' Mr. Willard reports that the drift, which is being run un-
der q contract for 200 feet held by W. J.. Hughes, has been driven
over 100 feet and it is expected that in another 100 feet the show
ing made in the upper workings will be encountered at a depth of
approximately 0OO feet. At present there is about four feet of
ore showing in the face of the drift. Assays made Of the gener.
81 run OF this ore give a return Of IA per cent copper.
All the contracts for the reducing plant have been signed and
y IS expected that this will be in operation by August ]. The
plant will have a capacity Of about 20 tons a day and can be oper.
ated by four men. About the same number will be engaged in
development and in taking out ore. Four carloads of ore are now
on the dump awaiting treatment. The machinery is the regular
FIink-Newhouse patents and can be added to at any time at com.
paratively small expense. The ore is reduced to matte and then
shipped for refinement. The property is connected with the rail-
road by a good wagon road.
The claims adjoin the Black, Traveller mine on the west and
the Fox Copper on the east and are traversed by three lodges all
of which have been proven to a certain extent by means of open
cuts and other surface work. It is the intention to explore all of
these lodges thoroughly during the coming summer and it is be-
lieved that the returns from the reduction plant will be more than
enough to meet all development expenses.

M"ssoUlAREp0R1s ON DRILLS

The following official state
ment of the result of the dia-
mond drilling at the property Of
the Missoula Copper Mining
company has been issued:
1.-THE starting point of the
drilling was in the face of No. 3
tunnel, 1895 feet from the por-
tai. The No. / hole was driven
in a northerly direction to a
depth of 499 feet penetrating
the north lead a distance of IA
feet and giving the following
results, average assay: 0.6 per
cent copper and % ounces silver.
INC. 2 hole was driven in a
northeastern direction to depth
of 685 feet penetrating the ledge
a distance Of 10 feet, when the
hole was lost on account Of cav
ing and the tremendous water
pressure. The core from this 10
feet was lost altogether as the
ground was apparently soft and
would not core, but the cuttings
were saved and the results were
as follows: first 5 feet. the cut
tings went 3.5 per cent copper
and 3.8 ounces, silver; and the
second 5 feet went 2.7 per cent
copper and 40 ounces in silver.
1.-THE cuttings have been SUBJ
mited to examination under a
powerful microscope and the ore
is shown to be sulphides consist
ing Of about equal parts Of born
lite and copper glance"

NABOB MEETINGS. POSTPONED

The annual meeting Of the
stockholders Of the Nabob Min
ing company which was called
for May II at the Offices Of E. j.
Hornibrook at Kellogg has been
adjourned until June II. This
action was due to the fact that
the president of the company
was unable to attend and sufi-
Gent stock was not represented
at the meeting.
The principal purpose for
which the meeting was called,
in addition to the usual submis-
sion Of reports and election of
directors, was to consider the
advisability of increasing the
capital stock from 81, 600. 600 to
81, 500, 600 or in the event Of the
vote being against this, as to
whether or not the mine should
be developed by the levy Of as
sessments.
The mine is located in the KEEL
logg section and a splendid
showing of ore has been made in
all the workings. A long lower
tunnel has been started and it is
believed that the completion OF
this will go far to place the
property on a dividend paying
basis.
