! NORTH FORK GOLD & COP
PER The company is involved
in a slight dispute with the for
est reserve officials as to the
boundar y lines Of certain Of the
company's claims, involving the
! title to certain timber. The trees
marking the company's boundar-
les have been blazed. It IS ex-
pected that the matter will be
adjusted readily.
BEST CHANGE This COM
pany has been Incorporated fer
the purpose Of operating seven
claims adjoining the H. E. M.
mine on the west. The incor-
porators are Charles H. Bell Of
Spokane; Charles Harr, Herbert
1 Yarbrough, T. w. Clayton and
Robert Edgren, Of Wallace. The
company iscapitalized at 81, 500
600. Work will be started soon
when a drift will be run.
BULLION In an attempt to
crosscut from the east drift to
the footwall about IL feet Of
ledge matter has been opened
up, more than what was calcula-
ted on by the company, and the
footwall is not yet in sight.
j This matter consists of chalcopy-
rites mixed with spathic iron.
The drift shows ore all the way
varying from two feet to the full
width Of the tunnel. The depth
is about lao feet.
TEMPLE AT a special meet
ing of stockholders held in Wal
lace Saturday George T. Edmis-
ton and Mrs. D. Gross were
elected directors to take the
places of A. H. Featherstone and
DR.. Charles r. Mowery. Mrs.
Gross has been acting as secre-
tary for some time past. A com
mittee consisting of the acting
secretary and H. G, Topping of
Wallace was appointed to thor
oughly examine the company's
books and report.
SHERIDAN The drift is in
about $50 feet but there is still
about 100 feet Of work to be done
i before the ore opened in the ur-
per workings is encountered at
depth. Some galena is already
beginning to appear in the face.
The present workings will give
an additional depth of about 25O
feet. Work is being done under
a contraction 900 feet to P. J.
Grove, the consideration being
entirely in treasury stock. The
property adjoins the Idaho Lead
Silver property on the west.
FRISCO-A writ and order Of
sale Of this properly has been
placed in the hands Of the sheriff
to satisfy the judgment obtained
by David Hyman Of New York
some time ago. It is expected
that the property will be adver-
tised for sale in the course Of the
week. Mr.. Hyman's claim is
secured by a mortgage and
amounts to about $50. 600.
GALENA--Operations at this
property were discontinued dur
ing the latter part of the week
and the workings of the mine
have been boarded up. The
property adjoins the Hecla on
the west and has been developed
by a 6OO-foot shaft and a consid-
cradle amount Of drifting. It
was fully equipped with ma
chinery and at one time gave
employment to as many as 25
men. It is understood that the
showing in the lower workings
was disappointing.

about 400 feet and that the show
ing is most satisfactory. It is

Gated in the Mullan section.

per values appear to be increas-
ing. Samples of the ore taken
from point about IS feet down

property is located about a mile
north of the Mother Lode prop
erty in the Lane section.
SNOWSTORM EXTENSION
The face Of the drift is looking
good and it appears as though
the ore shoot is being neared.
The face shows about six feet Of
quartzite carrying values in cop
per, red oxide and iron. One
contract has just been completed
and it is expected that another
will be let at once. The proper
ty is located on Snowstorm hill.
DANNEMORA Beck & Han
