BULLION IS FIRST CLASS"
No Other Conclusion Can Be Reached
Says Montana Mining Authority.

No other conclusion than that the property first class can
be drawn"
s Is the unqualified statement the report the Bullion
recently made by j. Rowe Of the University Montana and
formerly with the United States Geological Survey synopsis
OF Mr. Rowes report follows:
The property of the Bullion Mining company comprises eight
cams and situated in Shohone county, Idaho just on this
Soe OF the Montana-daho line Borax the P railroad
mne Is almost ha way between the Northern Pacific and
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroads
The material in which the vein of the Bullion properv s
found sa quartzte and probably belongs the Wallace for
ao OF the Occur Aene region The rocks therefore very
ola and have been considerably meamorphoed The Immediate
neborhood has been subjected more or less gneous action
ana several dykes found Fung found characers
TIC OF the surrounding territory.
Inc vein which carries the has general east and west
strike and may be traced the entire length of the claims The
country rock sy quartzie and the ore primarily chaopv
e however some chasc and bone secondary ores
Inc gangue minerals primarily derte quartz but some
iron pyres is found
The ore bearing vein from five fifteen feet wide and al
most vertical The veins found in shoots Two
well marked ore shoos have already been this mine
large one in the east drift of tunnel No. and small
one IN the west drift of tunnel No. g. near the face
The subsurface showing in tunnel No. is most excellent
OF being the surface for the most part is
ldlzed The ore shoot the east drift of tunnel No. shows
splendid ven The shoot here is feet long, five to seven
ee wde containing material that gives average assay for
the entire vein of IL per cent copper
The ore shoot in the west drift of tunnel No shows pood
assays and as the top Of the shoot only exposed will undoubt
edy equal in size and richness the of the east drift
The vein is without doubt mesasomac fssre vein and in
many places the wall rock partially replaced by the vein filing
The mine readily accessible has all power and fuel
necessary for mining and milling purposes the haul of ore to
the railroad will be All necessary machinery and
equipment is on the ground
The underground development consists of tunnel lust be-
ow the cabins drifting west the vein 1876 feet Below this
nne O feet crosscut tunnel has been run and taps the vein
about 200 feet from it's portal From where the lower crosscu
unne cuts the ven east and drifts been run on the
en as follows The west drift going about $50 feet and the
last drift about 25O feet shaft the upper and lower
unne passing through the large shoot and cutting good ore
or the lower lO feet The sinking wnze 100
eet deep on the vein in the east drift of tunnel No.
Inc ore is in such rocks that it will be treated at the
cry lowest smelling rates 1t will have be hauled by team to
ne railroad and be shipped without charge to any one of the
evera smeter desired the could concentrated at the
nine there plenty of facilities the construction of
entrator.
In conclusion Professor Rowe says:
ITO the writer the Bullion mine is very PROMISING and from
most every point of view thorough and careful deveop
The vein has good and persistent width and contains excel
INT ore in large enough quantities be commercially valuable
ne character of the reduces the eter charge to mini
lum The shipping problem be easily cheapy solved
he power for drilling and for the MILL and the timber for the
line are all upon the ground So from these facts which anyone
prove for themselves by visiting the mine other conclusion
nan that the property is isrt class can be drawn"
