F. M. Russell Makes Report of Develop
ment and Ore Bodies
on the Alice

Fred M RUSSELL well known mining this section has made
thorough and detailed the Alice this week. COPY of
which is here given in full:
The Alice mine adver property located in the Occur
mining district half between Gem and Muan Idaho in Burke
formation 20 patented mining claims covering and protect
ing one and half miles Of the groupings Of its veins
There which has tons daily capacity operated
by electric l2horsepow IngersoRand compressor and
hoist boarding house bunk house and office buildings which
about $000 recently constructed and at the mine onhaf
mile from the Northern Pacific railroad where good wagon road
meets.
Surface howngs consist Of four groupings that
cent lead and II ounces silver the Alice claim shaft
put down 60 feet this showing which raked to the west passing
of the shaft 80 feet depth foot shipping ore was passed
through that assayed 40 cent lead and 20 silver
cut tunnel for this showing which gained 22 depth on the
groupings This tunnel several gana under the
old Alice shaft and the writer believes the body located with
short drift to the west raising This Alice crosscut tunnel is
700 feet long running north the Wallace states Oburn fault
dabase dyke and quartz and quaz 200 feet vide in
which the ore bodies make.
From the Alice osscut tunnel drift made COO feet to the
prospect surface showing the Mary claim where six feet
concentrating located that averaged eight per cent lead and
eight silver and $50 feet further the surface was two
and hall feet of that averaged 40 and 80 ounces
silver crocut north from this Alice drift opened up feet Of mill
that averaged 10 per cent lead and 10 silver at 100
feet depth This showing mined from this surface
so II feet vide 1870 feet long and stopped so feet produced $780,
600 worth that and 30
silver In the Alice drift 200 feet main Alice shaft there
FIVE feet of milling that Is lead ounces
silver From that point the shaft showed considerable gaena and
the shaft followed showing that the believe pay
from the surface the 1877 foot and this body ted
the 430oo level for 800 feet and proved be six to 70 feet
wide and mined 100 feet stopping and produced
centrates.
While the mill during eight months 600 tons of concen
trates produced that averaged 5000 gross
mill feed low owing careless mining the part of the miners
writer having been present the time of the mining noted this and
called to the attention Of the large The body be
reached by drift of eco feet the 600foo level the west At
present there two feet milling and foot shipping
will for the running of the drift that level The body of ore
north Of the Alice drift that mined recently opened up
feet depth and rase through 1870 feet Alice level
and the vein II feet wide point and showed three ore
that averaged 40 per cent lead and 20 silver and six feet
averaged eight per cent lead and silver This should
open up sufficient keep the mill going profit for six
drifting west of the shaft also the big ope that produced
well on the 430oot level and north the shaft the Ooo level
md 6ooo level will open body mne
between the level and the Alice level where engineers estimate
worth Of milling sight and by opening
at 400 feet and $50 feet levels estimate the tonnage
raccd The Alice mine can be expected open 81
milling in these two bodies depth when these
un out There other bodies which the paid
title attention to that will make good properly handled One
lated along the Osbun fault and 430 feet depth about 200
mill feed has been mined from there low grade and showing
Get wide two and half per lead and and onbalf
silver Eight feet assays per lead and
liver This showing the writer believes will make good if
urther west.
There has been expended the Alice mine in develop
nen work and equipment and only $4,000 of this
ected toward the development the principal bodies the writer
satisfied that the opened be handled sufficient profit
the in dividends while greater being
ped.
Fhe Alice mine incorporated for 100000 shares all issued
osey held 81 the capital stock being held parties
he principal retiring from business and offering the
sale and is considered by the abes mining engineers
eat mines the district when properly developed being located
Morning mine which mills 900 daily nits concentration
nd has operated % years
With the showings and equipment the ce can
made to $4,000 per month dividends while greater reserves
e being developed
