Biz CREEK Mines
ACTIVE this YEAR
Moore BOnanze Has Been
Taken Over.
viii Be Actively Developed This
Season.

Now that it seems to be an
assured fact that the deal for the
Moscow mine, better known as
the Moore mine, in the Big Creek
district, has been made, a de-
scription of the district and the
mine by R. N. Bell, state mine
Inspector, is published. Since
Mr.. Bell wrote the article. strikes
of far more Importance have
been made, but not enough de-
velopment work has been done
to determine their true value:
The Big Creek district is very
extensive in area, and in con-
nection with some less developed
districts, like Ramey Ridge and
Profile and other closely tribu-
tary sections, embraces a re-
markabIe variety of base smelt-
ing ores and milling gold ores.
Between Profile Gap and the
North Fork of Smith creek, in
course almost due north and
south, there exists one of the
most pronounced and richly min
eralized ore zones that has ever
been discovered.
This great mineral zone crosses
the drainage system and it's tri-
butaries through rapidly varying
elevations, ranging from 5000
to 9,4O0 feet, due to the deeply
eroded canyons and sharply out
lined mountain spurs that cross
it's course in rapid succession
through a distance of Is miles.
The south end of this belt on
Profile creek shows some very
faattering manifestations Of lead,
zinc and copper sulphide minerals
invariably associated with good
gold and silver values, and in
some instances showing very
high silver values.
From Profile Gap north to
Smith creek the values run par
ticulary to gold and silver, al
though some important copper
assays have been obtained from
some of the big iron sulphide
ore bodies.
The most noted vein or zone
Of this belt is identified through
out it's length from the Indepen
dence and Blaine mines on Smith
creek and extends to Profile Gap

crops that is from one to three

companied the naturalization.
Parallel to this vein, on the
slopes of Logan creek, there is
narrow belt of high metamor-
phosed sedimentary formations,
including steeply pitching narrow
beds of quartzite slate and mar
bleized limestone, which inden-
tify the eruptive character of the
granite, and some associated
wide zones of clear garnet fur

tary inclusions.
Tie Moscow Mine.
The Moore Bonanza, so-called,
is 25O feet wide, as determined
by surface prospecting cuts, and
light paintings of Tree gold may
be obtained from the more fav-
orable looking gangue of this
great zone throughout it's entire
width. This deposit has been
traced along it's strike for over a
mile on this group of claims and
at one point is opened by cross
cut tunnel 200 feet long that has
attained face depth of $50 feet.
This tunnel is started in the foot
wall formation and extends into
the vein $50 feet, and from the
tunnel two raises have been put
up to the surface, and around
them a glory hole quarry has
been opened. The tunnel is con-
nected by light rope tramway
hung on the tree stumps to a
crude five stamp mill on the
small tributary stream 300 feet
below.
This deposit has the appear
ance of a sheered zone. It's pre-
dominant gangue is shattered
quartz with highly altered richly
mineralzed granite gangue. The
ore is free milling for a depth of
about 40 feet below the surface
when it changes into a richly
disseminated iron sulphide ore.
The glory hole quarry, has
produced about 1,500 tons of ore
that is said to have given ar
average yield of SIS per ton ir
free gold.
The milling appliances are Of
the crudest nature and were
roughly handled with inadequate
plate surface, and it is probable
that rough selection was made
of the better material mine(
from from this quarry to obtair

During the past season thi'
district has attracted consider

mining investors and some en-
gineers of note have visited thi
district and made examination
of it's various properties. On

Was Committed to OrOfinO.

]. M. Anderson; d well-known
miner and prospector was taken
to Grangeville last week, suffer-
ing from a bad attack Of de-
mentia. He was examined by a
medical board and sent to Oro-
fino.
Jack Anderson was one of the
old school of placer miners, and
as such has worked in this dis
trict for a number of years. He
was a man Of exceptional physi-
cal strength, and never showed
any signs of breaking down until
about two weeks ago. He was
never violent and it is not
thought that he is permantly in
sane. County Commissioner
Pettibone who was in Elk City,
thought that the best way to
have him treated was to send
him to Grangeville where he
could be taken care Of, and so
with the assistance Of Abe House
he was taken out on. the stage.

Mining and the stage Are usu-
ally Thought IF as widely sepa-
rated, If they even enter the
mind at the same time. An un-
usual thing has come to pass,
however. A Salt Lake paper
recently announced that the
Dream Mine stockholders would
hold their annual meeting in the
opera house at Spanish Fork,
Utah. The notice contained the
unique announcement that "all
are invited" According to the
description given, the mine is
true to it's name. 1t has been
operated for the past II years
and not a pound of ore has yet
been mined and shipped. The
managers instructions for oper-
alton are said to come from super
natural sources and it must be
that dividends are expected from
the same sources. Here surely
is a luminous demonstration OF
the optimism that gives miners
the courage to keep everlastingly
at it regardless of discourage
ment.

one of the most sensational gridiron
contests ever staged here The speedy
Sooner backfield played havoc with the
Missouri ends time after time, and time
after time were checked at the goal
line. Missouri also resOrted to open
playing and kept the roOterS cheering
and groaning throughout.
Missouri, by a series of end runs by
Moore and line plunges by other backs,
swept the SOOners back in the first
seven minutes of play without losing
the ball, and sending Moore through
for the first touchdown of the game.
Missouri had three men with bloody
eyes from injuries. Once in the last
few minutes of play, Geyer, a Sooner
fuIlback, raced 20 yards and threatened
MissOuris goal, but the Tigers held for
downs and regained the ball at the
final whistle.
The game was started late because
of the protest of he Missouri Athletic
committee against Reeds, fullback. and
Ambrister. captain and quarterback.
The absence of these two men prac-
tically lost the game for the SOoners-

BRAKES ELEVEN
LOSES TO KANSAS

Lawrence, Kans.. Oct. 1S.-Kansas
university won a hard fought game
from Drake here this afternoon, by the
score of II to 0. a safety. goal from
placement, and a touchdown netted the
points for Kansas. Ideal weather con-
ditiOn and fast field enabled both teams
to use open play. Kansas resorted to
the Minnesota shift and repeatedly cir
cled the Drake line for gains. On their
attempts at the forward pass, Kansas
failed. due to the unfamiliarity of sig
mails and excellent interference by
Drake.
Kansas was on the aggressive most
of the time and not once was the Jaw
hawkers' goal in danger. Punts were
frequently exchanged, but for little
gain.
Drake entered the game strong and
continued until the end of the first
quarter when the heavier weight of
Kansas began to show its advantage
against the lighter team
