The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1909-01-28

CLEARWATER G. & C. The
shaft has been sunk about 400
feet but development has been
hampered considerably by ice IN
the fumes. The mine is fully
equipped with compressor and
hoist and it is expected that q
small smelter viii be erected in
the near future.
WONDER The lower tunnel
is ia about 400 feet and it is ex-
pected that the ledge will be en-
countered within the next $50
feet. Big chunks Of galena
have been found almost all the
way and the outlook is most en-
couraging. The property IS lo-
Gated between Wallace and Null
Ian near the Alice.
COEUR D'A. VULCAN The
big 3OOO-foot tunnel has now
been driven 275 feet. For some
time progress was slow owing to
the ground being soft which me-
cessitated timbering all the way.
Hard ground has now been rea-
ched and progress will be more
rapid. It is the intention to in
stall 4-drill compressor. 1t adj
joins the famous Argentine prop
erty in the Osborne section and
IS traversed by three lodges.
New boarding and bunk houses
and other conyeniences for the
miners have just been completed.
IMPERIAL Progress at the
rate Of three feet a day is being
made on the crosscut. This has
now been driven about $50 feet.
For some time soft ground hind
I cred the progress but this has
now been passed. The proper
ty is fully equipped with COM
/ pressor and all necessary ma
chinery.
IDAHO-MO NTANAT The
crosscut has been driven about
47O feet and it is expected that
the ore shoot will be tapped
within the next $50 feet at a
depth Of 400 feet. A drift Of
200 feet will give a total depth
Of 800 feet from the surface.
The property is fully equipped
with gasoline compressor which
operates at a cost Of 40 cents a
shift Of eight hours. The drills
used are an invention Of Mana
GER r. B. Hoffman and are doing
excellent work. The property is
located near the Glidden Lakes
above Burke.
ALPENA The drift to the
main ore shoot is in about $50
feet and some nice looking cop
per ore is being encountered. It
IS expected that the drift, when
completed, will be about GOO feet
ia length. The property is near
Grand Forks.
NILSSON LA COPPER-The
diamond drill which has been in
operation for some time past is
to be discontinued and q force OF
men set to work driving for, the
main ledge which has been loca-
ted about 400 feet ahead Of the
present crosscut.
COLUSA All the necessary
supplies for the winters work
have been shipped to the mine
and q force Of three men, which
may be increased in the near fu-
ture, has been engaged. The
lower tunnel is in about 200 feet
Ia Il Quartzite formation. 1t is
calculated that about Is feet Of
work remains to be done to in
I tersect the ledge.
n EVOLUTION - Development
has been hampered for several
days owing to the non-delivery
Of coal at the mine. The ship
ment is tied up en- route by the
bad weather. The pumps, how
ever, have been kept running
and the shaft is free from water.
1t is reported that the men have
been working in ore for the past
60 days.
AMAZON DIXIE The drift
is now in nine feet Of splendid
vein matter, the filling being Of
decomposed quartzite and quartz
impregnated with galena. Four
feet Of concentrating ore and
some clean shipping ore has been
encountered on the footwall side.

bable that another contract will
