than that portion of it along which the drift has been
tended There should also be fine of high grade
Donate between the upper tunnel and the surface.
The vein in Reve quartzite and is situated about the
same distance north of the White Ledge fault is the Morn
ling and Hunter mines This conspicuous geological fea
ture OF this region and may have important bearing the
ore bodies associated with it, The Silver Cable being
developed through the long lower tunnel and what supposed
to be the proper at middle section of the tunnel
length understand is being dred to determine the po
ston Of the downward extension of the ore shoot disclosed
lin the upper tunnel The mine is situated only few miles
from the Northern Pacific railway with down hill pull and
easy for wagon road and gives eminent promise of
developing big tonnage Of profitable recent experience
has shown that this class of ore be quite readily separated
by modern methods of milling into high grade shipping pro-
ducts of zinc and lead.
Alice Mine.
The Alice mine is situated halfway down the canyon be
tween Mulan and Wallace This mine was optloned IN De-
cember to an eastern syndicate who Immediately took charge
of the property for the purpose OF unwaterng 1t and nves
eating with view to purchase lease This
deposit occurs in crushed of quarzte the north
edge of the sburn fault 1t has quite interesting record of
production and yields very clean eadsver mneral quite
free from other Objectionable sulphides.
The principal mines of Canyon Greek Burke have
Logged prosperous year and steady operation with full
force of men.
Standard. Mammoth Mine
Extensive development has been carried at the Standard
Mammoth mine, owned by the Federal Mining company,
which still the principal producer OF this part OF the district
This mine has one ow the deepest vertical shafts in the Occur
Aenes which is now 2OO0 below the level of Canyon
creek and 5000 feet vertically below the highest cropping OF
the VEIN The lower levels, however, have shown marked
decrease in ore volume and in addition to the fact that the
great shoot for which this property has been noted pitch
ing strongly to the west necesstatng development with
view to the acquisition of additional property to the west by
the company It also quite and apparently inclined
finger out into separate roots the work progresses down
ward.
The construction of the volume attributed to the near
pproac Of the bottom horizon of the Burke quarzle and
the penetration of the into the underlying Prcard Tor
nation and the local feeling that this great mine will follow
the history of the HeclaF Frisco and the Tiger Poorlnan
This has been of the greatest and most profitable ore
bodies in the Occur Aenes and has produced more silver
than any other mine in the district through continuous his
tory of over IS years operation and it's apparent approaching
exhaustion is to be depored. 1t is still, however quite
healthy and profitable producer and expense Will be spared
to follow to it's limits of depth there strong ploba
bitv Judging from recent clean lead development III the
Prtchard formations that the present contraction OF the VEN
ay be due to the transition stage experienced by the ascend
ling ore solutions in passing from formation to another IN
their ascension and when the clean Prchard formation IS
that the values again be resumed IN their
pristine glory condition that has been experienced in other
noted ore deposits of the world
Hecla Mine.
The Heca mine at Burke has continued it's steady
atve policy Of normal production and deeper new develop
