THE BOBBY ANDERSON
PINE CREEK PROPERTY
SEVERAL DISTINCT SHOOTS OF
oRE-THEIR PROBABLE
RELATION.


weeks has been engaged in working
the Bobby Anderson group and Will
devote considerable further time to 1t.
The Bobby Anderson is located lit
tie over two miles up Pine creek from
its mouth. The Northern Light is on
the opposite or west side of the creek.
The Amy & Matchless is but a short
distance further up the creek and the
several well known properties sur
rounding Beeler, the Carbonate, Lib
eral King and King Of Pine Creek, are
but little further up. all within a
half or three-quarters of a mile.
Though the Bobby Anderson has
shipped some ore at intervals in the
past, it has had no extensive develop
ment However, it presents a most
promising proposition and amply war
rants much further exploration of its
ore bodies. 1t is a proposition differ
ing in some respects from the average
ledge. of Pine creek or Of the Occur
d'Alenes.
Three Veins May Be One.
The principal work on the group
has been done on Pine creek levels.
Here are three streaks Of ore, three
lodges, they might be called, and yet
clearly having a relationship that
leads to the opinion that they are one
ledge. Two Of these upon which sew
eral hundred feet of tunnel has been
run, are on the surface parallel and
about so feet apart. The third lies
south and is about 25 feet from the
center one. The work on the center
one has produced very nice dump of
lead silver ore. The north streak up
on which tunnel has been run and
an incline shaft sunk has produced a
very good quantity of ore the princi-
pal value Of which is copper. Zinc is
plainly seen in the ore also, but it
seems to be completely free from any
complex combination with other met
ais. These two ore streaks or lodges,
whichever they may be termed, must
come together before any great depth
is attained if the present dip Is main
tanned.
Can Be Economically Developed.
The Bobby Anderson is located
splendidly for deep and economical de-
velopment. The outcrop on the sur
face is strong. The MOUNTAIN through
which the course of the vein leads is
big and gives good depth. There
should be much further tunnel work in
it's development And later on sinking
Is just as easy and convenient here as
in any part of the Occur d'Alenes.
Electric power is right at hand, being
already used by the Amy e. Matchless
and Northern Light and various other
places on the creek
Has Gold Ledge, Also
In the Bobby Anderson group, but
some distance further north from the
ore shoots referred to above. is an
other ledge which presents a rather
remarkable appearance. This Mr..

Chunks of the quartz from one or two
points have been assayed and it has
never failed to give gold value, but
no tests from all openings and across

The Bobby Anderson has numerous
promising features which entitle 1t to
much more extensive development
