The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1909-03-18
Assay From Samples $33.13 Per Ton.
Examination By Geo. R. Trask

The following is synopsis of report made recently the
Hypotheek mine by Engineer George R. Trask:
notice improvements that have been made about the
mine since my last report September 1906 Outside the works
notice three miles road from the mine to the rail-
oad much needed improvement also three miles of telephone
line connecting the mine with the outside world.
At the mine commodous boiler and compressor house and
timber shed have been built also dry house for the of
miners and two dwelling houses for the accommodation of
married connected with the NINE An additional 35orse
power boiler and 8horse power engine attached 4nch
circular for framing the mine mbers have been installed
Other improvements consist Of Strengthening and enargng the
main tunnel for 600 feet Strengthening and improving the shaft
cutting out station in the tunnel the shaft and installing there
a 25-horse power hoist and 3x9- foot air receiver.
In addition to all these improvements the shaft which the
time my survey 1906 o feet below the main tunnel
been extended 1875 feet making 375 feet below the main
working tunnel At many places along this shaft
south from the shaft 20 30 feet merely examine the
vein.
AT point IT'S feet below the main tunnel the vein was
dfed upon 438 feet from this drift
made both north and SOUTH thus thoroughly prospecting the ven
vein from to 80 feet wide all of promising and we'll mineral
zed quart in places looking most promising for an ore body
but the most promising showing and that am much
wdened to at least 80 feet and all of very fine looking sugar
and much Of heavily stained with iron

is still this promising vein matter The vein dips about 70 de-
showing like this encouraging and believe that
some depth this vein matter will produce and the immense
size OF the vein at this place leads the conclusion that when
reached here it will be in large body It is impossible tell
at what depth the will FORM hope that the shaft
down to the present contemplated depth drift will be extend
ed under this point expect then favorable result
AT the crosscus from the shaft the is disclosed
being from to 20 feet wide and less mnerazed all
the down. and places well mnerazed with "copper" At
the time Of visit the bottom Of the shaft 35 feet below the
main tunnel all in vein matter and showed streak rib
bon Of about four inches wide that of very pure cha
copyrite pyrte took sample of this for
and found to run II cent in "copper" with gold
and silver total value Of $685. per By picking the ore
could obtain much higher values of the samples running
high 8 cent copper and much than doubling this
assay vue thus proving the truth of my prediction in my
first that the will much valuable depth is
obtained
1t must be borne in mind that in the upper works there is
very fine showing Of the shaft This has been examined
Depth When the shaft reaches the 5oot level anxious
to this part of the vein explored at that depth.
There 20 employed the NINE The intention is to
sink the shaft to the 5Ofot level below the main tunnel and
then drift east and explore the bodies Certainly all
the showing made in the mine to this time fully justes
the exploration and development and every promise of
