MINES AT TECOMA
PLEASE IDAHO MEN
Iron Mask and Little Butte
Soon to Ship Ore, They
Report.

Altogether pleased with the showings
in a group of mines at Tecoma, New,
owned largely by citizens of BlackfoOt
Idaho, were the members of a party of
BlackfOOt citizens who arrived in this
city yesterday from camp after having
made a careful inspection of the prop
critics. The party included Thomas G..
Clegg, president of the Iron Mask, Lit
tie Butte and Mineral Mountain Min
ing companies; Andrew Matson and Al
mon Fuller, all of BlackfoOJ and La
mar Nelson of Salt Lake, accompanied
on the return by W. H. Harmon, the
mine contractor
The most extensive work yet per
formed is in the Iron Mask property, in
which a tunnel has been driven 163 feet,
the last Is feet of which is all in ore that
averages $3.50 a ton in silver and lead.
The width of that ore body has not yet
been determined. The Little Butte tun-
mel is in so feet and it is all iii ore, the
last sampling having given values Of
S37 a ton. The ore in both places Is an
iron carbonate with every indication Of
larger bodies and better Talucs as depth
is attained.

IRON BLOSSOM IS
PUSHING ITS WORK
Development Is Carried on in
Four Places in South
Shaft.

DEVELOPMENT work in the south work
ings of the Iron Blossom mine was not
suspended when, on account of the com
Danv's inability to secure a favorable
smelling contract the shipping Of ore
from that section of the property was
discontinued Work is being carried on
i'm four places in the south workings,
according to a statement made by AS
sistant Superintendent Frank Birch to the
Eureka Reporter. A drift is being pushed
out toward the east on the l,5J level
two drifts are being driven at a depJn
of 800 feet and other development WORK
is under way on the 800 level Inc dflLt

the showing is such as to lead 10 the
belief that some new ore VIII De euC0uil-
tered. Mr. Birch states that it would be
an easv matter to ship 100 tons of ore
. dav from the south workings OF the
IRON blossom if the company and the
smelter people could agree upon a SUIT
able contract a..
1t is from the north workings Of the
Iron Blossom that the mine s output OF
ore is now coming and it is high-grade
ore that is bringing in the money IoI

of the Iron Blossom the COlOradO-SlOuN

and because Of the fact that some OF the
ore is below the level from which the

BUTLER LIBERAL
MAKING BIG MINE
Fourteen Feet of Solid GaIena
Is Recent Strike-MiII
Runs Steadily.

New ore bodies are being developed in
the estate of the North Utah Mining
company Of Bingham at a rate which
would seem to assure the making of a
big mine. Ore recently opened on the
new level of the main shaft workings
OF the Butler Liberal section, Manager
W. d. Bohm said yesterday, has opened
into a body of IA feet of solid galena.
That is at the depth of about 100 feet
from the surface. 1t is some distance
from the body Of galena ore opened en-
the tunnel level last spring, soon after
Mr.. Bohm took charge Of the property
It has already been proven OF sutTl-
cient extent to assure large resources,
and. should it connect up with the first
ore body, it viii be what is usually dem
nominated a whale.
On the same level in the opposite dt-
rection from the shaft, the drift is Just
entering = new ore body, the extent Of
which has not yet been proven, while
over in the Tough Nut section Of the
property a good grade of ore is being
broken from the body encountered a
week or two ago.
The company's mill IS running stead
lily on crude ore which averages 20 per
cent lead and fair values in silver. From
80 to 60 tons a day are handled, work
ing one eight-hOur shift, and the prod
uCt is an average of 20 tons day of
concentrates, the value of which is
from $500 TO 5000.
1t is an excellent showing for a
property which a year ago was re-
garded an Indifferent prospect, and in
dications are that development of new
ore has only fairly begun.

RED WARRIOR ORE
STARTLES EXPERT
Veteran Operator Surprised to
Find More Than Full Meas
ure in Mine.

Philip Flynn, well known San Juan
operator and expert on the lgewhOUse
staff. returned 20 the city yesterday
after having made a visit to the Red
Warrior mine, in Beaver county, and
it may be said that he was almost en-
thusiastic over having mad a new OK
perience. Mr.. Flynn has been engaged
something like 100 years in examining
mines and prospects, and 1t requires
something out of the ordinary to stir his
enthusiasm.
"I am so accustomed to going into
mines where the owners are expecting
to get something" said Mr.. Flynn,
that I confess it startled ne to go
into one where they not only have real
ore. but have so much of it thar you
can't readily determine its extent.
I didn't go to the Red Warrior mine
to examine it with the view Of making
a report; I went to make friendly
visit to the manager. But 7 must say
that its new ore body is something out
of the ordinary. While it has been
only fairly opened, I walked on ore f T
so feet on its strike, and 1t is at least
p feet wide.
1T is a great body Of sand carbOnates,
running 40 per cent lead, besides sill
bv replacement of limestone. And one
beauty of it is that it appears to be
swelling into greater proportions as it
goes deeper with the formation, for
what is apparently the same ore body
has been opened at higher levels with
not nearly so great a showing as has
been obtained where it was tapped a
short distance below the 300-fOOt level
while the company has been ship
ping steadily for some time from the
new ore body, what has been taken out
is only what may be said to have
Stopped over into the Wine, or up
raise, which tapped it. The drift on the
level below is apparently just about to
break into the ore, and, with the sink
ing of the shaft to the lower level-it
is already considerably below the 300
the company should be in position to
greatly increase it's production"

his most notable achievement in TINS

METAL PRICES MAKE

Utah mine operators are viewing with
considerable satisfaction the advances

made recently was that when the Ameri-

price that has been paid on the local

Coalition Company Is Sinking
Wines to Test Ore Bodies
at Depth.

The latest develop feature under
taken in the property Of the Silver Island
Coalition Mines company is the sinking
Of a series Of wines in the various tun-
neIs. to prove the ore bodies going down,
according TO President NJ. E. King, who
has lust returned from camp. The first
Wine started, in the EmancipatOr NO. 2
tunnel where was found the rich shoot
of s-iIyer-COpper ore, had been sunk ABOUT
eight feet when he left. with ore con-
ditiOns improving in the bottom. Ore was
being sacked for shipment from the Wine
as well al from the face of the tunnel,
which is i'm about 50 feet While the face
of the tunnel has never been out or ore,
there was for several feet a relatively
lean zone. and it is evident that the sec
ond rich shoot is just being entered.
The stope IN the lie Roy tunnel, on the
company bonded property, continues to
be i'm the richest silver-lead ore yet found.
1t is a dense galena and chloride ore,
the sacks when filled with 1t weighing
from no TO $50 pounds, while the weight
of d sackful Of ordinary ore is from 81
to so pounds. The ore shoot has been
opened 100 feet on its strike, by stopping.
Track has been laid in the tunnel ana
within a few days the work OF pushing
the tunnel on to the second ore SHOOT

New work to be started about the first
of the year will be the driving of a 200
foot tunnel from the east side of the
mountain to tap the big fault fissure
which courses through both properties.

now being done intersect the large IFS

With the tunnels and wines on the

of the ore bodies in conformity with all
present indications yet another tunnel
will be driven, which will open the great
fissure at the depth of from 800 to LOCO
l20O feet to accomplish that. Then by
drifting on the ledge the intersections of
the various smaller assures viii be
opened. the deep tunnel affording an ideal
avenue through which to work the en-

The company for the present is con-
