MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS.
IRON BLOSSOM MINE
DEVELOPING MUCH ORE
Immense Body Promised When Ore Is
Reached on the 500 Foot Level
Commercial Ore IL High Grade.

ALTHOUGH many were disappointed
at the dividend announced by iron
Blossom for the first quarter of 1910,
there arc others who feel that it is
an excellent showing in view OF mar
ket conditions. Engineers who have
recently visited the property declare
it is in as fine shape as ever In its
history and that not only has 1t Il
large tonnage of ore In sight, but the
prospects for larger bodies were never
better.
At the No shaft where the rich
orc Is being shipped from. the shaft
has reached the 500-foot level. where
q station Is being cut, From this
drift will be sent to the east to get
under the ore body. from which the
rich shipments are being made. The
vcln that is being worked is going
down strong and there Is no doubt but
what the ore will be opened up on the
lowest level
On tho 300-foot level, which is now
the lowest level worked by the shaft.
the ore body pitches to the east and
away from the shaft This ore body
is I'm places so feet wide. and has been
stopped for a vertical depth of at least
100 feet In the floor of this level
winze was sunk in ore for 40 feet. AT
that depth the foot wall was encount-
cred. Around this wlnze considerable
ore has been stopped out,
From indications 1t Is certain that
the ore will be encountered on the 500
foot level as tho winze has already
traced 1t to within so feet of that level.
1t is estimated that the drift on this
level will have to advance something
like 800 feet to reach the ore.
Under the new contract the Iron
Blossom is also extracting ore from
the 500 and 600-foot levels OF the No. 1
shaft. This shaft is at tho 1.300-f foot
level and is to be sent to the 2.000-foot
level. The ore thatis being found be-
low the 600 is not of high enough
grade to stope. The vein Is being
found In all levels and the manage
ment expects to get n large body OF
copper orc at greater depth

WILD CAT INSURANCE.
State Commissioner Receives n Com

The state insurance commissioner. re-
ceived the following letter today. from

with interest in local fire Insurance
circles:
"Will you kindly ascertain and ad-
vlso this department as TO whether or

curities or other assets of any kind or

been transacung some business in

placed insurance with this concern and
lost $4,000, and has been unable to
secure settlement with the company
1t is unfortunate that people will con-
tinue to do business with unauthorized
or wild cat insurance concerns There
is, however, no law on our statutes
prohibiting individuals from purchas-
Ing insurance in unauthorized COM
panles, provided that the business Is
transacted through the mails.
"This department has no jurisdlc-
ton over unauthorized companies, and
the only action we can take is to ar
rest and prosecute all agents of such
companies whenever we can secure
evidence that they are operating In
Idaho. 1t is to be regretted that this
party should have placed his InsIr-
ance In an unauthorized company.
when there are some so odd fire insur-
nnce companies operating in this state
which have fully complied with our
laws. In my opinion he has no re-
course other than to bring suit In his
own county or in the state of Utah. or
such other state where service OF proc
ess may be had; but even this would
be of little use, II the company has
nothing upon which an attachment
can be levied"

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
At NEVADA HILLS
Ncrotiutions Being Made for Electro
cally Euuipping ProDcrtS-Rlch
Orc Found on Lower Levels

While but little Information has been
given out on the Nevada Hills prop
erty in tho past few months, 1t was
learned today that at the mine oetter
ynlues arc being obtained on the low
est levels. that sufficient ore Is being
taken out to cover the expenses or ue-
yelopment work and accumulate III
tic surplus, and that negotiations are
now being carried on which VIII result
in the Nevada Hills, Fairview Eagle
and Nevada Wonder properties peing
electrically equipped.
Six months or more ago considerable
water was encountered In Wine OF
the 350-foot level. The ore that came
In with the water and of which nearly
carload was taken out before the
water stopped the work, ran hiSh In
gold and silver. Since then the com.
pany has drifted in from the 4SO-level
and encountered break which was
filled with water. 1t has been ascer-
taincd that north and south break
cuts the property. This has been filled
more or less with clay that has held
the water back For q time 1t came so
fast that 1t was necessary TO hoist
it. Since then the water has dried up
and for the past two weeks there mas
been no water at the mine.
The drift on the 450-foot level has
picked up the ore on the east side of
the break. In the upper levels tho ore
was to the west of the break. On the
east of the break the company has been
drifting on a six-lnch vein that carries
$500 In gold and silver values. The
management is confident that In time
this vein Will broaden out into a per-
manent body of ore. A sample
from this vein, taken recently showed
returns of 1000 in gold and 1.2O0
ounces in silver,
IMPROVING FAST.
The property continues to improve
right along and by next summer IL Is
confidently believed that some big
things will be happening at the New
ada Hills, The richest rock taken out
contained but very small percentage
in lead. II any, and small amount or
zinc.
Ii Is understood that the Nevada
Wonder mine which Is operating about
is miles north of the Nevada Hills, was
the highest bidder for the water power
offered for sale by the United states
government from its irrigation propo-
sitlon in the Carson sink The water
VIII generate 1900 horse power. and 1t
Is the intention Of the mining COM
pany to use 1t to furnish lighting for
the town of Wonder and its own mine.
The final arrangements relative to tho
company taking over the water power
have not been agreed upon. but will
probably be closed up in a few days.
The power viii be generated at Fallon.
There has already been tentative
agreement for the furnishing of power
to the Nevada Hills and Fairvicw
Eagle properties. This Will give the
companies a more economical method
of pursuing their work.
