MINING NOTES

German American Mining company,
near Osburn, Idaho, has opened two
feet of high grade ore while doing as
sessment work on the group OF claims.
The property comprises five claims
within 200 feet of the railroad and Is
one of the best developed properties
In that part Of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict.
The Bank Of Montreal has a force
of men doing work on its property,
the Okanogan Free Gold, two miles
west of Oroville, Wash. A deal was
made by eastern parties for the prop
erty, some time ago. but on account
of the money stringency they were
unable to meet the payments, and the
property was taken back by the bank.
Development work has been started
at the property of the Forty Ninth
Parallel Mining company, operating
south of the boundary line on Kruger
mountain. The company has purchased
the claims of S. L. Stanton of Oroville,
Wash. The company is now sinking
on the ledge and good showings OF
copper ore have been made. II the ore
is found at depth development work
Will be carried on steadily.
Hayden Lake Mining & Milling com.
pany has increased its capital stock
from 100000 to 100000 shares. Sup
plies are ready at the mine and work
will be pushed all winter. Fred H..
Bradbury was elected president, JOS
eph Poirier is vice president, J. R. NJ.
Culp treasurer. and Harvey Borthwich
is secretary. The property Is near
Hayden Lake, Idaho.
Reports from Oroville. Wash, are
that the Keller group has been sold
to the Dividend company. The group
is south Of the Dividend, with lodges
of high grade copper ore exposed at
several places. The ore is Of the same
character as in all of the mines in the
Kruger mountain, and carries high val
ues in gold and copper.
Oroville Consolidated mines in
northeastern Washington has mapped
out years work of more than usual
activity on the Tripod claim. A big
ledge Of iron ore, containing consid-
cradle copper, has been exposed and,
as shown by the test pits, extends the
full length of two claims and crosses
the House property at right angles.
The company will sink on the ledge to
depth Of 200 feet and crosscut at
each 500-foot level.
The Keno group Of copper-gold
claims give every evidence Of becom-
ing one of the largest and most prom
Using properties in the Snake river
country, south Of Lewiston, Idaho. Re-
cent assays give values of $40 ton In
gold and copper. Twelve men are at
work and each shot exposes richer ore
in the 5O-foot ledge.
Eighty tons Of ore was shipped from
the Maestro at Ainsworth, B. c.; the
ore in sight will provide for regular
shipments for some time to come. The
| Banker and No. properties in this
neighborhood, owned by II. Giegerich
| Of Sandon, are in operation.
Nine copper claims, carrying gold
values and located opposite the big
jam on the north fork of the Occur
d'Alenes are being developed by Cur
tbs Lightner and his associates. The
crosscut for the lead has been run a
third Of the necessary 16 feet to tar
the ore. The vein was discovered by
William Sites. It was eight inches
wide at the start and has increased
with the depth.

the Atlantic Mining company, operat-
ing in the Occur d'Alenes, reports the
completion Of a road 1900 feet, con-
Meeting the property with the wager
road on the creek. The lower cross
