WORK Of INTERSTATE.
CALLAHAN COMPANY
PROGRESS AT THE MANHATTAN
LORE sHoWlNGs--
MILL PROGRESS.

Rapid progress has been made OF
the lower tunnel of the Manhattan
since power was brought into use b,
the Interstate company, which recent.
~ added this property to it's holdings
One hundred and fifty feet is said tc
have been run i'm the 15 days worked
last month and the record Is being
kept UP this month.
The tunnel starts well down toward
Carbon creek and Is crosscut to the
ledge some 900 feet lower than the
former workings, which opened such
a splendid shoot Of lead and zinc ore
The work Of the Interstate company
is Of vast Importance to this mining
district. To begin with, it is said to
be as strong as any company operat-
ing in the Coeur d'Alenes, largely COM
posed of men who know how to mine
properly and who have made splendid
successes Of mining in other well
known districts.
Beyond the permanent work and
good results accomplished on the orig
inal Interstate holdings, the company's
value was vastly increased by consoli-
dation with the Callahan group, and
this step was followed by the recent
taking over of the Amazon Manhattan
group. This combines a vein system
covering the divide and extending from
East Nine Mile to Carbon creek. Pos
sibly the Callahan group, which lies
between the original Interstate and
the Amazon Manhattan, has had
greater development on ore than either
of the others, but each group shows
splendid ore bodies.
The long tunnel on the Interstate
will be the means Of delivering the ore
to the Nine Mile railroad and that por-
tion Of the Sunset country In which
are located the Callahan and Manhat-
tan will find transportation this way
Power for the Manhattan comes from
the Interstate station on Nine Mile
and is transmitted through the work
ings Of that property and those of the
Callahan and over the surface $500
rect to the Manhattan.
Situated as it is, with deep work
tngs and the immediate solution of the
transportation problem, 1t is not un-
reasonable to expect further expan-
sion to the holdings Of the Interstate
Callahan.
Work on the concentrator situated
on Nine Mile, is progressing well and
it will be in operation this spring. 1t
is modern in every respect and COM
bines everything in line of improved
appliances. The operation of this mill
and the carrying out Of plans evidently
contemplated by the company will at
no distant day materially increase the
output of the Coeur d'Alene district.

PROGRESS OF WORK
At THE YANKEE BOY
AN INTERESTING LITTLE LEDGE
THAT HAS BROUGHT
GOOD RETURNS.

Good reports continue to come from
Yankee Boy. the Big creek property
some three miles below Osburn. The
property is owned by Dennis Blake
and Mrs True Blake. 1t was located
in the early days by the Blake broth
ers, very early pioneers of the Coe,lr
d'Alenes. Differing from all other
producing mines of the camp, the Yam
kee Boy Is In class by itself. The
ledge yields high grade silver pro-
duct, desirable smelling ore. State
ments Of the value of It's recent ship
ments are that they run from l25 to
200 ounces silver. The ore Is sorted
by hand and of course the value per
ton of shipments depends solely upon
the closeness Of sorting. Compared
with silver values those of other met
ais are nominal. The ledge rs small
and one Of the most important fea-
lures in the successful working of the
property is sorting the ore.
EOi tlOIG Su SGdio DSuiiiS
Blake and True Blake worked this
ledge. Both were practical miners and
they gave close attention to their work,
hiring some of the work done at times,
but never an excessive amount. The
ore would be sorted where delivered
to the surface, snaked down the trail
from the mountain side and delivered
to the railroad. Shipments would be
made usually at intervals of several
and at other times there
would be long period between. Thus
the property was worked for score
of years, the owners at all times be-
ing on safe ground, managing closely
and performing much labor them
selves, The output Of the mine and
it's judicious investment accumulated
for them competency.
Rich little ore bodies like the Yam
kee Boy are common in parts of Colo
RADIO and some other of the western
states. but it practically stands alone
in successful mining in the Occur
dAlenes The usual profit in mining
here comes in handling quantities of
ore cheaply, many tons and small pro-
fit per ton as 1t comes from the mines

IooRA MILL.
All Machinery and Lumber on the
Ground.

Parties recently coming from Beaver
creek. In the Sunset district, state that
practically all the lumber and all the
machinery for the Idora concentrator
are delivered on the ground and that
work there is making good progress.
The grading for the mill was finished
last fall and the necessary buildings
were completed. A rock foundation
for the mill building was cut out and
the timbers for t11at are In place
The millsite is on Beaver cresk,
about 1000 feet from present workings
of the 1dora mine. While numerous
stockholders of the Idora Mining com
pany are financially interested IN the
mill construction, It is not being built
by the ldora company. but Is an en-
tirely separate corporation. 1t is built
for custom work, there being a num-
Der Of properties in the immediate vi
cinity and within easy reach, capable
of furnishing some ore, chief among
the number being the Tuscumbia. This
property adjons the Idora and is opens
ed In its lowest present level through
ldora ground.
A custom mill In this particular To-
cality will no doubt prove an important
factor in development of number Of
properties.

PINE CREEK GREATLY
NEEDS A RAILROAD
PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE
BUSINESS JUSTlFIEs
NSPORTATION.

| Pine creek promises to be one of The
most active parts of the Coeul
dAlenes during the coming season. II
is a fact worthy of note that no other
section of the camp of equal area has
as many favorable showings of ore or
the surface or exposed by a limited
amount of development as il found
here. And on the lodges where some
depth has beer attained results have
been all that could reasonably he eX-
pected. A number of properties there
are ready to ship ore and numerous
others can be quickly put in that con-
dition.
The matter of building railroad uI
Pine creek from the main line of the
O.-W. II. g. n. Is a simple proposition
without difficulty whatever An easy
grade Is available within reach of a
large number of partially developed
properties which promise much tom
mage. AS a matter of fact 1t looks like
a branch line could be built and OPP

er than any of the branch lines al
ready In operation in the camp. and
the tonnage that can be reasonably
figured on is equal to that of other
sections Of the camp when first fur
nished transportation. Transportation
at hand would be wonderful stim,i-
liant and incentive to speedy develop
ment. In addition to the ore to be
hauled from Pine creek and the gen.
cral business that follows, the timber
industry in that locality. both for min
ing purposes and lumber. would be en-
important item to a railroad A rail-
road up Pine creek at the present time
would not be in advance Of the busi-
ness necessary to amply Justify its
building and operation

NEARING THE LEDGE
ON SUNSET PROPERTY
DRIFTING FROM 200 FOOT SHAFT
--lMPORTANT MINING
OPERATIONS.

| Ranking with the most important
development work in the coeur
d'Alenes is that of Senator w. A.
Clark in the Sunset country, about
eight miles from Wallace. After sink
Ing shaft 200 feet and beginning
drift to the ledge the water came in in
such quantity that 1t was necessary
to install a pump to handle 1t. and
this caused stopping the work for
few days 1t Is thought the increased
water at this time indicates close ap-
proach to the ledge. Work, however
has now been resumed and while there
!s no definite way of telling the dis
tance to the ledge except running for
It, any round Of shots might reach It.
Keen interest is felt here in Wal
lace in the work of Senator Clark in
the development Of the Sunset. The
property has surface showing un-
surpassed in the Occur d'Alenes, and
the entire district is dotted with
ledges and surface showings Of ore
which warrant all sorts of develop
ment. For more than a quarter Of a
century It has been a greatly neglect
ed district. What work has been done
and what slight depth has been at
tanned have never failed to give en-
couraginG results. Lack Of transpor-
tation has seemed to be the main
drawback.
The elevation where the shaft is
sunk is some 5000 feet. and the peak
rises several hundred feet higher. All
the ground Is so situated that great
depth can ultimately be attained, prob
ably $500 feet, with comparatively
short tunnel work. as work Of that
kind goes in this country. Possibly
1t Ia more favorably located than any
other section of the Occur d'Alenes
where long tunnels have been run to
secure great depth with proportionate
tunnel work.
However, this present work In the
shaft and drifting from It will deter
mine plans of future operations. 1t Is
known that Senator Clark will develop
tho property to any extent the showing
seems to warrant.
The shaft Is started north Of the
ledge some 70 or so feet. 1t is perpen-
dicular. Near 1t where the ledge crops
on the surface, there is an exposure
Of about 20 feet of ore In fact there
are big groupings of ore for several
hundred feet.
Parties at the Sunset boarding house
on the Nine Mile side of the peak state
that when the snow was measured
there a few days ago the record was
q little over IL feet depth on level In
several different places.
The development Of the Sunset un.
der such favorable conditions, along
with the extensive work Of other
strong companies on Nine Mile and
other portions of the Sunset district
means much to the whole Occur
d'Alene district and particularly to the
city of Wallace. It bears every evi.
dence Of meaning new mines. and big
ones, added to the list which have fur
nished the camp its vast production
extending over a period Of quarter
of century.

FORMER NEvAOAN TELLS
OF ROCHESTER CAMP
PIONEER MURRAY MAN WAS IN
THAT SECTION IN THE
EARLY SEVENTIES.

Adam Aulbach, the veteran news
paper man of Murray. was in Wal
lace several days this week. Prior to
coming to the Occur d'Alenes in the
early eighties Mr.. Aulbach had for
years been engaged in mining and
newspaper business in the bonanza
camps of Nevada, dating back to the
early days Of the Comstock, Austin.
Eureka and other great producers of
the silver state. Speaking of Roches-
ter, the newest camp and at present
attracting wide attention, he said: II
can easily believe some of the reports.
Rochester is in the Humboldt range,
a mineral section with record of pro-
duction In past years. was In por-
tions of it in the early seventies"
Archie McCallum and Dan Harring-
ton, of this city, are also among those
who were in portions of the Humboldt
range in the days when Nevada was
yielding vast treasures in silver.
Mr.. Aulbach was also in White Pine,
Austin and Eureka In the palmy days.
In the latter place he managed n
daily newspaper for some years. The
extremely high grade silver ore and
the native metal itself. he said We're
simply marvellous IN these camps.
1T is very quiet on the North Side"
he said, mot due to lack Of mineral
and proper showing. but to causes
which should not exist" The recent
strike on the Terrible Edith---12 to 18
inches Of good grade shipping ore
he regards as important, also the ru-
mored lease on the Monarch by par
ties who have heretofore successfully
operated the property.
Mr., Aulbach has probably kept
closer record of weather conditions
since coming to the Coeur d'Alenes
early in 1884 than any other resident.
He states that but two winters. those
of 'S3-'S4 and 1890, have had more
snow and at no time at this date in
March has there been so much snow
on the ground as at present

Lead. which up to a week ago, was
quoted at $4.25 to $435 recently gain
ed cents and Yesterday advanced an
other cents. the price being $4.35 to

from the recent highest price.
The copper price has gradually de-
clined In the past few months from

GOOD ORE NEAR SAlTESE.
Strike Of Copper Orc on the Black
Traveller

According to the Mulan Progress
Ian, recently made a good strike OF
copper ore on the Black Traveller,
about four miles northeast of Saltese
The Progress says:
THE appearance Of the vein and ore
body where encountered leads the
management to believe that it will be
possible to start ore shipments from
the mine in the near future. The prin-
cipal stockholders In the property are
Mulan men. among them being Mr.
Roof James Connors and the late
Scott Harris. Thomas G. Kennedy is
secretary"
