it. At this point a drift was
started west on the vein, which
is now in 100 feet.
"The vein carries shoot of
crushed quartz averaging four
feet in width for the length Of
the drift. The crushed quartz is
free milling and with the other
vein matter carries very good
values.
Later we expect to start the
drift east from the crosscut and
find the entire extent of the
shoot. Indications for finding
parallels of this vein on our
property are good and we will no
doubt start work along this line
soon."

American Eagle Still in
the Lead.
COPPER STRIKE LOOKING FINE
AS Development Proceeds the
Ore Gets Better.

Another rich shoot of ore has
been found in the American
Eagle. and is now being opened.
This shoot is in No. 3 tunnel,
but some 200 feet north of the
.shoot now being stopped out. The
ore is of the same general
character, except that the gold
seems to be finer and the ore a
little higher grade.
The ore taken out in develop
ment is mixed with that from
slopes and sent to the mill, where
it has increased the feed to a
value of $3.50 free. This is
probably the highest value ever
attained in the mine, for the ore
as it is sent to the mill, not over
so per cent of the value can be
caught on the plates.

At the Copper Camp.

AS work progresses at the
Idaho Copper mine. the rock
shows a much heavier mineral
ization. The last few feet in
the tunnel the ore taken out is
proving that as they are nearing
the point where the rich showing
is on thes surface. there is a
change for the better. When
this tunnel is at a point where
they will crosscut, there will
have been expose an immense
tonnage of ore carrying both gold
and copper of exceptionally high
values. That this mineralized
zone is far greater than at first
supposed is proven by the fact
that the claims on the west
owned by ]. E. Brown and l.. A,
Strong, have the same high grade
ore.

Platinum Prices.

In the case Of many mineral
products an intense industrial de-
mand leads to early discoveries
of a supply sufficient to meet
requirements. The
metal platinum furnishes a very
notable exception to this rule.
Miners may have overlooked it
in the past, just as they have
overlooked other things whose
value they did not appreciate, or
was not at the time apparent.
But, if SO, there is little evidence
of such unfortunate neglect, be-
cause the discoveries of platinum
occurrences in this country are
very rare and the amounts to be.
obtained are small. This coun-
try's output is insignificant still.
Russia continues to hold virtual
monopoly, and this advantage
the government has not hesitated
to assert. 1t formerly used it as
a money metal. Deposits in
Colombia are next in Importance
and they may soon become a very
prominent source of the metal.
Platinum is a metal whose i'm
portant uses are such that there
are no available substitutes for
it. Consequently its price has
always been high. In 1906 the
price mounted up to a point al
most double that of gold, but
following the industrial depres-
sion of 1907 it reacted to a point
below gold. In very recent
years Russia's output has fallen
off somewhat, and it has been
said that the government has
sought to restrict the production
for the sake of better prices. Of
late the price has again been
rising, and there is no apparent
stopping point. 1t is used in rel
atively small quantities, but in
the aggregate the amount that
could be used is we'll ahead of
the supply. The individual user
of a small stock may have no oc-
casion to forego the luxury, but
when used in manufactured ar
ticles, the metal must suffer from
it's price and see itself here and
there crowded out in favor OF
less expensive, even though un-
satisfactory, means of perform
, ing the service expected of it.
. 1t still remains to be seen to
, what point the demand of science
industry and luxury can push
the price of the metal. 1t is
! probable that some of the recent
: accumulation of it is due to spec.
! ulation.

MACHINERY
ARRIVES
Hoist and Mil For the
Grangevil1e.
READY TO RUN IN THIRTY DAYS
Several Months Run Of Ore
on the Dumps.

The machinery for the Grange
vile mine, which was recently
purchased by Portland men, has
been passing through town this
week.
The equipment consists of a
Joshua Hendy hoist of 500 feet
capacity, a Knowles sinker, an
Ingersoll compressor and drills,
and complete battery of five
1900 pound stamps with Christ
ensen concentrators and crusher.
This machinery was owned by
the company before the purchase
of the Grangeviile, and being the
equipment needed, it is all being
brought in at the present time.
For the present the company
have leased the buildings and
saw-mill machinery at the Cleve-
land mine, and will set up the
mill in one of these buildings,
which they expect to have ready
to run in about 80 days.
Mr.. S. j. Fore, the manager
OF the company, states that the
object of getting the mill ready
to run at present is to work the
ore that has accumulated on the
dumps in the course of prospect
ing the ledge. There is an i'm
mense tonnage of high grade
ore at the different workings,
that has been taken out during
the several years of prospecting,
and this has been we'll taken care
of, and can now be handled at q
profit.
The Cleveland mill building is
about one-half mile from the
|, Grangeville mine, with a dowr
, hill haul.
The Grangeville group is locat
ed on Deadwood mountain, anC

ELK CITY GOLD

To Be Exhibited at the Inter
state Fair.

luOllldO uCbOllllOli, pOPQloi oOil
of Central Idaho, has arrived in
town on a load of ore, and is sit
ting tight on it for it represents
some of the best that has been
dug in that gold-lined field, says
the Inland Herald.
The lot is consigned to the
mineral department of the Inter-
state Fair, and when laid out in
order will represent perhaps 200
lode and placer mines through
out the Ten Mile, Elk City, Oro-
grande, Dixie, Buffalo Hump and
other districts within an area 25
miles long by 10 miles wide. Mr..
Mcdonnell is arranging with L.
K. Armstrong, head of the min
eral department, for the position
which the exhibit will occupy.
In addition to the display, Mr..
Mcdonald will give practical
demonstrations of placer mining,
in which he cannot be beaten, by
the testimony of the Elk City
colony, grown large in this COM
munity.
"Great!" responded Mr.. Nc
Donald with gusto when asked
for a brief interview on the con-
ditions at camp. When little
more latitude was offered, he
said:

One Of the most pathetic duels In
the early history OF the American navy

men whose names are not given In the
record, according TO a recent writer.
Their ship was In the Malayan wa
tiers. One hot night they quarreled
over the question OF leaving open the

tied amicably by the exchange OF cots.

their heated words made IL plain TO
