A GREAT GOLD
BEARING BELT
Surface Showing of Ten Mile
Unsurpassed by the
Coeur d'Alenes.

Gold lying out of doors, ready for
any mans taking, is todd of by H. ].
Rice, long a resident of the Occur
d'Alenes and a graduate of bonanza
fields In Nevada to the Inland Her
old of Spokane.
The field from which he has come
and of which he marvels is the Ten
Mile of Central Idaho, possessed OF a
fame because of spectacular showines
in the Local Option, Gilt Edge, Occur
d'Aiene, Buckhonn, Franklin and 9TH
ers.
AS manager of the Gold Ridge Min
ing and Developing Company, which
took over the Wander group several
months ago, Mr.. Rice has had ample
opportunity for examination of the
lodges and the exercise of judgment
on their value.
Exhibit Equals Nevada.
: The Ten Mile country has sair-
face showing as great as any he has
seen, he states, and the development
has verified all predictions of its fsIt-
ure.
The ledges are clean cut assures
striking east and west. In some
places they are intersected by vein
lets or stringers that strike north and
south. Both series have high values
and some of the Desser bodies are as
, rich as the assures.
: The Gilt Edge Company IL develop
! ing an east and west fhsssure. per-
manedt working shaft has been put
J down drifts run out ON the vein and
open cuts at many places showing
| values that range from $50 to hun
dreds of dollars in gold to the ton !.
Proof at 4oo-Foot Depth
: West of the Gilt Edge and ON the.
/ same vein is the Gold Bug. Shallow
It tunnels, with which the property y
we'll opened. have shown the exist
d ence of values equal to those OF its
a deeply opened neighbQr
v DevelopemenA of the Occur d'Alene
i has BEEN advanced farther than any
n other property of the district. lts
vein, having an east and west strike
y has been opened to depth OF 4O'
+ feet. The ore body is wide. 1t shows
e both free milling and tellurium ores
9. running up into hundreds Of dollars
to the ton.
The Buckhorn has been exploited b
shallow surface workings and tun
mel has been plunged into the side o
a mountain for 2S5 feet. In all OF thi
d work ore paying a high gold conten
- has been exposed.
The New York owned and operate
by Smith Brothers and Dothup,
~ destined to yield a fortune froI
- grass roots, by the deduction of M
o. Rice. The ore is like that of othe
% mines OF the field and a high pc
~. centage of it wdla mill freely. Th
product of this property won fir'
NJ. prize ait the Spokane Fair last yea
IA Mill Run Shows Values.
.re Development lis proceeding ON ii
~. Mackey group, an extension of II
r.. NewYork, by crowd holding bor
nd and lease. The Franklin. Comet, Go
NO Brick and others have surface inc
M cations that warrant extensive d
III velopement.
~ The Gold Ridge Mining & Deveao
NJ ing Company has the Wonder groa
TOR or seven claims. The development
nd eomprised of surface exposures
,ts shallow shafts and open cuts and t'
he tunnels. The ore is OF a free-milldl
character. A mill nun test of 5
at pounds, made for the Gold Rid
at Company gave a value OF $3.50 to t
n ton, states Mr.. Rice. The ore W
nm taken from a shoot described by Z
iff manager as having a length OF 4
re- Ieet.
ias Operations have been proceeding
utv a pace that waurents expectation
an. readiness for a stamp mill in Augu
rat Electric power for the mine and N
,at will be generated in the rapid waite
an of the Ten Mile River. A wag
nd road is to be built to the Stites-E
nc. City highway.
