HAS FINE
SHOWING
Brown Bear Making a
Mine.
HAS GAINED GOOD DEPTH
Four Feet Good Ore in Lower
Tunnel.

Recent development on the
Brown Bear claim, owned by the
Idaho-Red River M. Co., has GER
tainly made a remarkable show
ing.
The lower tunnel has been
driven in about 40 it,, and at the
face there is 4 ft. of. good clean
ore, that carries good milling
values, and which pans well.
The lower tunnel is driven
about 100 ft. below the upper
workings, and will get a depth
of about 400 ft. under the crest
of the hill. In the upper tunnel
which is in some 800 it,, the ore,
while of good grade, did not
seem to hold any uniform size,
and while the vein is about 5
ft. wide it was mostly filled with
waste.
In the lower tunnel, this has
changed and the ore shoot has
cleaned itself, and the vein is
now filled with good clean ore,
with tale on both walls. The
character of the foot wall has
changed some what, and is now
very hard and firm, and horn
blende is taking the place of
mica in the granite, The dip of
the vein is about the same as
Fabove.
At present work is being done
on the north side of Red river,
and every indication points to a
|good ore shoot being opened, for
the groupings here are much
stronger and of better grade
than on the south side.
Taking it all in all, this is one
of the best prospects IN the dis
trict, and while the vein is not
so very large, the ore body is
strong and a good depth has been
attained. The claims are sc
located that they cross Red river
at a point where a good power
site is available, and there is ar
abundance of timber on the
ground.

Elaborate Preparations Being

Dixie is making preparations
to celebrate "Dixie Day" this
year with a very elaborate pro-

last week subscribed over $500
to defray expenses, and have
started to get things in shape.
Those who attended the cele-

again for it was conceded that
the entertainment was well

Dixie Day." the oath of
August, comes at a time when
nearly all the citizens of this
section can get away for few
days and enjoy the hospitality of
our neighboring camp.
Besides the return game of
ball, between Elk City and Dixie
which in itself will take a large
crowd from Elk City, there will
be other amusements that will be
suited to the occasion.
Fhe citizens of Dixie will spare
nothing to make the visit pleas
ant, and at this season of the
year a trip over this route will be
one long to be remembered.
A general invitation is extend
ed to everyone to be in Dixie on

BLACK PINE
SHOWS WELL
Fest of Twelve Tons Gave
Good Value.


Good Value.
A test run of ore from the
Black Pine mine at Orogrande,
and owned by Jas. H. Colgrove,
was made last week in the lola
mill, on Rock creek. The ore
plated about $40 to the ton,
which was very satisfactory to
the owner. 1t is understood Mr..
Colgrove will do considerable
work on the claims, with a view
of taking out more ore. The
Black Pine has a good strong
vein, and from the test run
should be able to give a good ac-
count of itself.

Austin Takes Interest
In Bond.
OLD BUSTER MILL LEASED
Ore to Be Milled as Soon as
Ready.

Work of drifting on the vein
in the Colonel Sellers claim of
the Mineral Zone group is pro-
crossing very satisfactory, and
the drift is now about 20 ft. from
the shaft in the east end. The
vein here is about 5 ft, wide, and
the values are holding good. The
ore seems to be very free and
pans about the same as on the
surface.
B. C. Austin is manager of the
property, and it is understood
that he has taken an interest in
the bond with Mr.. Painter.
Arrangements are being nego-
tiated for a lease of the Buster
mill, and this will be put in shape
to handle the ore taken during
development. The leasing of the
mill will enable Messrs Painter
& Austin to decide on the treat,
ment the ore will require, as the
mill is a complete stamp mill,
and cyanide plant.
From what can be learned the
shaft will not be sunk any deeper
for the present, but the work
will be confined to drifting until
the pitch of the ore shoot can be
determined. The drifting on the
vein is being done both east ano
west from the shaft, and the ex-
tent of the ore shoot will be de-
termined on this level.
