Where there's SO much smoke

numerous sources, the company
stands pretty fair chance of be-

An increase in t h e enrolment OF

would mean the employment Of
ten extra teacher each month-12o

20 class rooms to accommodate
the increase. OF course there are

SNOWSTORM SHAFT.
Intended to Go Down to a Depth Of
600 Feet.

Present plans of the Snowstorm
Mining company are said to include
the sinking of the shaft from No.
tunnel not less than 500 feet This
will be the deepest development in the
copper belt, and will do much to dem
onstrate that section of the Occur
dAlenes Direct results from No.
level are generally understood not to
be entirely satisfactory. although 9TH
or work above has ha6 favorable
bearing on it. The present shaft Is
more in the nature of prospecting work
and the intention is to enlarge 1t by
upraising to three or four compart-
ment working shaft as may be justi-
fled later on.
The great ore body of the National Is
la little lower than No. tunnel Of the

win be watched with much interest hv

IMPROVED EQUIPMENT
FOR THE BEST CHANCE
WAGON ROAD BEING BUILT TO
HAUL IN AIR CON-
PRESSOR.

The Best arhanee Mining company.
developing property on Nuckolls gulch
not far from the II. l.. M. mine, Is
building a wagon road and otherwise
preparing for hauling in and INSTALL
ing u compressor and up-to-date
equipment for its work.
The property is situated about two
miles from Osburn. northeast. and
probably three miles from Wallace.
Charles Harr has had direct charge
of the work and much development
has been accomplished in quiet way
during the past few years. II Is said
about 1900 feet of tunnel has been
run and that the showing on the pro-
pcrty Is very encouraging.
With the proposed equipment and
installation of power development will
go forward much more rapidly than in
the past.
Considerable of the stock is held In
Spokane. Among the local people in
terested are Mrs Bertha Johnson
lessee and proprietress of the Samuels
hotel and Robert Edgren, manager Of
the Wallace laundry.
Tho building Of the wagon road will
require about another weeks work

SUCCESSFUL HANDLING
OF ZINC AND LEAD
PERMANENT PLANT TO FOLLOW
TEST PLANT AT STAN
DARD MILL.

Separation of zine and lead and
the consequent saving of zinc values
and freeing of lead values from smelt-
ing penalties is making great headway
In the Coeur d'Alenes. 1t is one of the
most beneficial advances that has been
made In the camp,
The testing plant which has been in
operation for some months at the
Standard mill, the limited capacity Of
which has handled but one tenth OF
the product of the tables and yanners
Is pronounced most successful 1t Is
to be followed at once by a plant, said
to be very simple In construction Of
$50 tons daily capacity It is describ-
ed as the acid flotation process, the
sulphuric acid used in treatment caus-
ing the zinc and lead to float, after
wards being handled for separation on
the tables. The plant here in Wallace
and the introduction Of the process has
been directed BY George Wyman,
When it is considered that the pro-
uuct ilttilAlitu III tHlFs PiVItsS II tHclt
which has heretofore gone to waste,
the Importance of the saving Is appre-
ciated at once. Most of the mines of
the Coeur d'Aenes have the zinc prob
lem to deal with. A few are compare
lively free from It. Not only Is the
successful solving Of this problem
beneficial to tho operating mines. but
1t will bring about the opening of
numerous new properties that have
not been developed simply because the
occurrence of zinc was considered
detrimental Under the improved
handling zinc Is big asset. The price
of zinc Is always somewhat beyond
that of lead.
Possibly the reopening of the Frisco
mine. a matter of much Importance to
all the Occur d'Alenes, Is due to a
more thorough knowledge Of zinc and
lead scparatio
The benefits that are coming and
are to come FROM this successful sep
araton Of metals are almost incalcul-
able at this time.

LEASE MOON CREEK PROPERTY.
Four Miners Will Work Cavanaugh
Ground.

William Cavanaugh, who for many
years has worked a quartz property
on the west fork of Moon creek, has
recently given lease on it to four
Scandinavian miners. Continuous
work. with stated number of men, is
one of the requirements Of the lease
and 1t is said to run but for one year
The Miners informant states that
the surface showing is very attract

been run; that the estimated distance
to continue in order to reach an ore
shoot is $50 feet, giving a perpendic-
ular depth of 450 feet.
There are said to be two lodges on
the property. In an ore zone which so
far as explored is $50 feet wide.
The property Is a mile above that

POWER FOR THE IDoRA MILL.
Washington Water Power Company Is
Preparing to Supply 1t.

The crew of men setting poles in

making good headway. No time Is
stated for starting the Idora mill, but
it will probably be ready when the
power connection is made. That part
of the country where the holes are be-
ing dug for the poles Is bare of snow
and evidently the crew Is working up
as the snow disappears.
This will be the first electric power
used in he Sunset district, except that
temporarily used at the Manhattan.
Good reports come from the work at
