Deposit Located Over an
Extensive Area.
OPTIONS SECURED FROM OTHERS
Other Parties After Adjoining
Ground.

Lewiston Tribune: Will and Frank
Gaffney, of the Weippe section, are in
the city. viii Gaffney was the first per-
son TO become interested in the lands
in the Weippe section on which iron ore
prospects have been found and which
lands are embraced in the lease secured
from the state by G. w. Thompson.
Il became slightly interested in the
matter through my brother, Will"
said Frank Gaffney. in speaking of the
project for developing the fields. 'He
had been investigating for some time
past, and when he told me about the
prospects, j was very skeptical, just as
the public is inclined to be now. How
ever, j am now convinced the prospects
are of character that would warrant
further prospecting IL has been de-
termined by the prospecting done to
date that the deposit is about one and
tone-half miles wide and six miles in
length, and might be even more ex-
tensive. 1t seems to vary in depth. A
number Of prospect holes show depths
Of three TO six feet, while in two or
three places think shafts have been
sunk 10 a depth Of thirty or thirty-fye
feet, OF course to properly investigate
a diamond drill should be put in ser
vice. When investigations showed iron
ore prospects there, options We're Sc
seured by those interested on some lands
not owned by the state. On some Of
these tracts, on which options were
secured, the deposits have been found
However, ! do not know that this has
been the case on all Of them"

secured on the ore tested show il con

SI.OO Per Year

property was thoroughly prospected by
both practical and theoretical mining
men before work began, and the mate
rial encountered in the tunnel has so
far borne out every surface indication.
Prospecting in the Red mountain
district has been carried on with vary
ing degrees of activity for the past ten
or twelve years. The extraordinarily
large ore bodies which show surface
outcroppings for miles have furnished
the stimulus; but until the Chelan
Consolidated and Chewawa companies
began operations the work had never
been undertaken with system and de-
termination. Lack Of roads into the
district was the great drawback until
1906. That year a state road was
from a point on the Chewawa
river, eighteen miles west of Leaven-
worth, to the summit OF the Cascades.
Under the supervision of the state
road supervisor some twelve or fourteen
miles of most excellent road was con-
structed, leaving, however, fourteen or
fifteen miles of road still to be built to
reach the mining region with a wagon.
The expense Of building this road,
nearly 1000, was borne principally
by the stockholders Of the Chelan Con-
solidated Copper Co., and while not so
perfect as the state road, is with few
exceptions as good as the average
public road in a mountainous country.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-09-17
Other Mining Enterprises

The writer's observations were con-
fined to the two camps above mentioned,
but he had reliable information to the
effect that other parties were engaged
in development work, to make no
mention of the large number of pros
pectors who are scattered throughout
the entire district.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. had
four men, under the direction of Ed
Ryan, employed on what is known as
the Clinton group Of claims, doing pre-
liminry work.
Some three miles north of the Chelan
group, located on Red mountain, is the
property Of the Metal Monarch Mining
Co., in which J. J. King, DR.. Shore,
Adams & Carr, and other local parties
are interested. Considerable work was
done on this property the past summer.
When the Wenatchee Valley and
Northern railway is completed to the
Chewawa river, the objective point Of
which is the White river valley, the
end OF the track now being within
three miles of that point, there remains
but twenty-five miles Of road to be
built to put the Red mountain district
in rail communication with the world.
That this gap will be closed when the
producing stage is reached by either OF
the two big mining companies now
engaged in development work there is
not the slightest doubt. So confident
are the mining people that they will
require rail transportation for their ore
that they have already threshed over
the question and spied out route.

When that is encountered the state Of

does not seem to be any reasonable
doubt. Every possibility of failure
seems to have been discounted by a
thorough prospecting Of the property
before work was commenced. The
promoters OF this enterprise are all
Washington and New York people, who
have shown their faith in the future Of
the property by putting up the money
necessary to develop it.

CheIan Consolidated Copper Co.

This company, which is largely COM
posed of New York state capitalists,
was organized in 1905. The company
owns a large group Of claims on the
east side of Red mountain, less than
half mile from the scene Of the work
ings OF the Chewawa Lead and Smelt-
ing Co. Edward Ellis was at one time
directing the work of the Chelan COM
pany, and is yet large stock holder.
He commenced the Chelan tunnel in
1906, working with hand drills for the
first few hundred feet. In 1907 forty
horsepower compressor, also operated
by water power, was set up and an
Ingersoll air drill employed to expedite
work in the tunnel. At this time the
tunnel is into Red mountain some 1850
feet and, like the Chewawa tunnel, is
a splendid piece of mining work. Con-
siderable water has been encountered,
but the discharge of this has been
provided for. The tunnel, which is
large enough for all working purposes,
is built on perfect incline, and the
water discharges itself under the track
on which the muck" as miners call
the waste material taken out, is con-
veyed to the mouth on substantial
steel rails in iron ore cars. Harry G.
Krollpfeiffer, son OF one OF the largest
New York stockholders, is superintend-
ing the operations. Fifteen men are
employed, divided into three eight
hour shifts. Barring slight Interruptions
the power drills pound away every hour
in the twenty-four, not stopping for
Sunday. The material through which
the tunnel is being driven is very hard.
From fifteen to seventeen holes, five
feet deep, three inches in diameter,
are driven into the breast of the tunnel
for every blast, which consumes just
about twenty-four hours OF time.
The vein for which the Chelan is
driving is over 200 feet in width on
the surface, and shows when assayed
copper, gold and silver, with copper
predominating, which it will reach at a
depth of $500 feet below the surface.
While only an approximate idea can be
given of the distance at which the
main ore body will be struck in the
tunnel, it is believed it will be not less
than 1000 feet. About two months
ago a parallel vein showing on the
surface was crosscut at a depth OF over
1000 feet. An account of this was
given in The Echo Of July 80. This
body of ore, while very rich in gold,
copper and silver, was not followed up,
but may later be developed. 1t was
encouraging, however, in that it gave
evidence of true vein formation, and
was expected at about the location
where found. The Chelan company
is well supplied with buildings and
machinery for making rapid progress.
Mr.. Buckingham, experienced mining
man, is experimenting the driving oi
the tunnel. With the exception oi
about 100 feet at the entrance, no
timbering has been found necessary.
The men who are supplying the
financial sinews for prosecuting the
enterprise assured the writer that work
in the tunnel will be continued until
at least 5000 feet is reached. The
