or No. / tunnel. The portal of No.
tunnel is 100 feet above the tracks o
the o. r. 4 N. and Northern Pacifl
railway companies.
1.-TWO ore bodies have been expose
in these two workings. the first O
which is directly under and at an an
gle Of rs degrees from the south fror
where the. winze was started in tn
upper workings which correspond
with the dip of the vein in the shaft
A raise has been started in this or
shoot which has been extended dis
lance of 50 feet showing ore Of goo'
milling grade all the way would
recommend that this raise be contin
above. II this Is done ] do not hest
tate in the least to predict that yer,
large ore bodies will be exposed be
tween these two points
About 500 feet further to the east IL
this lower working, another ore shoe
has been opened up. which has :
greater length and width than the frs
one. While there is good showing IN
lead and silver at this point. the prob
ability Is that further development
will open up larger quantities of high
grade ore. as the raise Is continued
This ore shoot appears to be indie
pendent of the first one and has not
been reached by No. | tunnel which
does not extend to the east that far
A raise has been driven on this ore
shoot for some distance and very fine
ore opened up. In fact there is sun.
cicnt ore showing at this point to pay
yonr company to work the. same IL II
had a mill.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the property has been opened tc
a depth Of about 1400 feet with more
than 5000 feet of workings March 10
1900. and the great amount of ore In
sight, comparatively small amount
of money should place the property
upon a producing basis.
Il desire to report to you that / find
the work done under the management
of Mr. Bernier to be first class. The
lower tunnel Is in my judgment one
of the very best tunnels that has ever
been driven in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict
Il would recommend that the two
raises be continued, especially the
raise on the first ore shoot in No.
tunnel; this ore shoot will undoubted-
ly improve and furnish immense orc
reserves and at the same time be of
value for ventilating purposes and the
economic operation of the mine in the
future"
Report Of r. s. Merriam, {. m.
Following are extracts from re-
port of Robert Merriam. mining en-
gineer, of Wallace:
"The property consists OF four lode
claims and a millsite. viz: The Black
Bear Fraction, Brown Cub, Black Cub
and Surprise lode claims and the
Black Bear Fraction Milsite.
"These claims are located in the
heart of the producing district Of the
Occur d'Alenes, in Lelande mining dis
trict. Shoshone county, Idaho. Both
the o. r. & N. and the Northern Pa :
cific Railway company's tracks cross
the company's ground. giving perfect
facilities.
Electric power for all mining and
milling purposes can be obtained from,
the Washington Water Power COM
pany at a reasonable rate. The prop
erty is equipped with an electrically
driven compressor of four drills ca
pacity, motor, compressor and black
smith buildings, with all the tools
ears, rails, etc. needed. Tunnel No. 9
is also equipped with electric lights
Lying as your property does, in
the great Helena Frisco Morning ore
zone. 1t is exceptionally fortunate as
to location. Your property is sur
by well known mines and
all of great merit. Upon the
sast end Of this ore zone is the Nor
ming mine. belonging to the Federal
Mining and Smelling company. and
)ne of the big producers of the district
to the west of your prop
srty is the Helena Frisco property
which has paid over two millions in
dividends.
For the further development o.
'our property. would recommend
continuing raises No. and 2. While
he showing in tunnel No. is not
What was anticipated from the show
ng in tunnel No. l. there Is little
loubt that further prospecting of the
edge will show ore bodies of larger
dimensions. All OF the producing
mines of the Occur d'Alenes have
heir barren zones and this property
$ no exception. In further work II
would be well to develop fully the ore
lready found and in driving raise No.
l would advise following the ore ir-
espective of it's possible changes IN
ip. In continuing raise No. would
dvise running to connect with the
'inze from tunnel No /, this raise to
e used for ventilation and as a main
'orking raise. from which levels may
g run to prospect the ore wherever
ne showing will justify 1t. 1
Il have little doubt that between
