UNITED LEAD SHOWING
HIGHLY ENCOURAGING
COMPANY DECIDES ON BUILDING
MILL TO BE COMMENCED
At AN EARLY DATE.
Last Two Months Work Has Brought

ing Is Better Than at Any Previous
Time.

Among the properties working under
encouraging conditions in the vicinity
Of Osburn is the United Lead, former
ly known as the German american. 1t
is located about a mile below the town
Of Osburn, and It's ledge is said by
those familiar with both properties to
be very similar in character to that of
the Rainbow. The equipment is mod
ern and ADEQUATE to present needs,
and for some time to come. A perpen-
dicular depth Of 1900 feet has been OBJ
tanned, and the work now being carried
IN is in the ledge, which contains four
feet or more of good looking ore. Sam
pies taken at random, while they have
not been recently analysed, are pro-
nounced high grade and indicative of
richer ore near at hand.
DR. Pickerell of Spokane, one of the
largest owners, is giving much time to
overseeing the development, and Will
lam Meacham Is the foreman, actively
directing the work. Two shifts of
miners are employed, and plans have
been perfected for continuing the work
throughout the winter. Development
has been in progress for more than two
years, and the prospects are brighter
now than they have been at any time.
The improvement has been especially
noticeable during the last two months
So songuine are the members of the
company that they have decided tc
build.-.a mill, and it is expected work
upon this will be begun within a very
short time, to have 1t in working order
during the early winter.

CLEAR GRIT RESUMES WORK
ON GROUP OF SEVEN CLAIMS
Extraordinary Surface Showing, I'm
covered for Distance Of $50 Feet,
Will BE Fully Explored.

Work has been started on the Clear
Grit property and will be continued
through the winter. The company's
holdings consist of seven claims stu
ated on Beaver creek, within short
distance of the Idaho Northern rail-
road Over 1000 feet of work has been
done, and some very good showings
have been exposed at depth.
The surface showing Of this prop
erty is something extraordinary, the
ore having been uncovered for II dis
lance of $50 feet on the surface where
1t gave assay returns of 50 per cen.
lead and 81 ounces Of silver. The
company was awarded the first prize
at the Spokane Interstate fair in 1910
for the best mineral display from the
Occur d'Alenes.

SILVER ROCK PLANS.
TO CONTINUE TUNNEL
DIRECTORS At MEETING HELD
MONDAY FAVOR EXTENSION
OF WORK BEGUN.
Walter ST. oermaine Given Contract
for Additional Hundred Feet--New
Board Of Directors and officers Are
Chosen.

At a meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Silver Rock Mining company, held
In Wallace Monday afternoon, board
of directors was elected, and they In
turn chose officers for the ensuing year.
The directors are III. J. Rossi, A. p.
Bailey, George Austin, Walter st. Ger
main, Sig Hofslund, A. z. Bronson and
v. r. Waltman. The officers selected
by this board are H. J. Rossi, presi-
dent; A. p. Bailey, vice president and
George Austin. secretary treasurer.
President Rossi appointed an audit
ing committee to go over the books and
accounts, and prepare financial state
ment, which will be submitted to the
stockholders within the next few days.
Pleased with the showing disclosed
by the work of the contract on extern
sion which will be completed about the
first of the coming month, the stock
holders voted unanimously to continue
the work, and awarded a contract for
another hundred feet to Walter st.
Germaine. The work will be a con-
tinuance Of the drifting There has
been completed 275 feet Of tunnel, a
vertical depth of It's feet having been
gained. The showing is said to be
about the same as was found in the
Rainbow property at the same stage
Of development. There is promising
seam of tale, from which samples OF
good gray copper are being shown.
The directors named recently made a
visit of inspection to the property, and
all expressed satisfaction with the
showing and with the manner In
which the work has been done. The
stockholders have not been assessed,
the company depending upon the sale
of stock, from which the revenue has
been ample, to carry on the work.
Walter st. Germaine, who had the
contract coon to be completed, and who
will continue the drifting, speaks high
~ of the prospects for the Silver Rock.
1t was he who drove the work to Its
present stage, the extension being anly
so feet underground when he took 1t
up. He is one of the 'old timers" In
the Osburn district, having devoted his
efforts to prospecting and mining since
childhood, working in the district con-
tinuously since 16 years Of age. He
pronounced the showing in the Silver
Rock equal to that Of any of the sur
rounding properties, and considers that
it stands an excellent chance Of becom-
ing a dividend payer, with less eX-
penditure than many of the paying
class of mines in the district have call
ed for.

Wallace yesterday, and who will leave
for Spokane in day or two to submit
to Spokane and Chicago capitalists a
report on the properties involved,
based upon his recent thorough exam
nation of the various claims The
only thing that stood in the way of
combination OF capital and the con-
summation Of the plans of the persons
interested was their uncertainty as to
the real merits Of the claims The re-
oprt which Is to be made to the inter-
ested persons next wednesday will be
SO favorable that there is scarcely
doubt but the formation Of big COM
pany and steps toward the opening up
Of the property will follow as soon as
possible.
The property Mr.. Nicholson was
asked to examine includes the Wonder
and the King of Pine Creek, taking In
all Of the northwest quarter Of section
20, township "a north of range l.
There are many very favorable out
groupings, and the claims referred to
are we'll located, joining the Amy and
Matchless on the west and south.
Eight of the claims form one group
which II is stated can be developed
and worked through tunnel that
would approximate mile In length
and which would cut the lodges at
depths of from 400 to 1900 feet
Il found good surface showings in
many places" said Mr.. Nicholson last
night. Conditions have been favorable
for a thorough examination Of the
claims on the ground, and in my re-
port shall say that l am more than
confident the group will yield big
mine, and with comparatively small
expenditure of capital. From one of
the outcroppings | took samples OF
ore that go as high as 60 per cent in

Mr.. Nicholson declined to give fur
Their particulars concerning the prop
erty at this time, and said he was
not at liberty to give the names of the
people who are interested in the for
nation of the company, but stated that
as soon as the organization is perfect

He believes the project means great
deal for the Pine creek section, and
will do much to bring 1t into greater
prominence than the rich discoveries
and work done upon them within the
past two years have resulted in.

the extraction of zinc ores, is being

In company with the other metals. zi,,c
has been steadily advanced In price
and favorable freight rates have been
obtained. In Utah, shippers in the
Titanic district are preparing to send
uot much of this ore; the Stockton
district reports the mining of zinc
ores; Alta, Santajuin and Mount Nebo,
likewise, are becoming active, while
Park City is increasing Its output.
In Colorado, Leadville is leaping

Montana, Butte gives promise Of add-

producer, then as copper district. and
now as great source of zinc. Large
ore bodies are being opened and mill
processes developed. The r Coeu
d'Alsnes, in Idaho, is not falling behind
the procession.
This activity is Of great import to
mining. Where mines in the same dis

ores, any advance in the price, mining
