NOTHING TO ADVERTISE
THE COEUR D ALENES
NINE MILE PIONEER DEPLORES
LACK OF ANY PRINTED
INFORMATION.

Oscar Wallace returned few days
ago from the east, where he has beer
on mining business. He was in Wis
consin during most Of his stay, which
was at the time of the tornadoes not
far southwest and the great floods
south and southeast, but was outside
the limits of both these.
Mr.. Wallace was entirely success
full in making due preparation for the
mining development he expects to be-
gin little later in the season. Par
ties whom he visited In the east will
come to the Occur d'Alencs after the
snow Is gone, when they are able to
get around conveniently and see the
surface ground.
Nine Mile Pioneer.
Probably no man here single hand
ed has caused more money for in
vestment to be brought into the Occur
d'Alenes than Mr.. Wallace and very
large number of these investors feel
already that they have good returns
for their money. The preliminary
work on the Interstate. extending over
years of uncertainty, was through his
efforts and he has been instrumental
in doing much other development for
more than quarter of century past
Mr.. Wallace was the pioneer pros
pector of the immediate section about
Ia I1c La mi h lie fol !, tn, inn
Mile in the very beginning and it has
remained mistaken. Some of the re-
suits from that section TODAY are
strictly in line with his predictions
more than a quarter of century ago
He was the original dscoverer Of
mineral on Nine Mile, locating the
Black Cloud ledge about % years ago
Much of the early development work
was done by him personally
Necessity Of Advertising.
II can not emphasize too strongly"
said Mr. Wallace, "the necessity of
properly advertising this great mining
region. There is nothing of printed
information to acquaint the world
with our tremendous resources and
our actual accomplishments in the
past rs years.
AT every depot and many publi'
places in the east where ] have re

state.
at was the same old story. Ortlin-
arily well informed men were entirely
ignorant of such a place as the Occur
d'Alenes, simply because there haf
been no opportunity for information
"There are all sorts Of opportun
tiles for rapid advancement here ir
the Occur d'Alencs If we only used
the methods adopted by other enter
prising communities.

The Copper King in its broken for
nation and faulting systems has pre-
scented many perplexing problems, but
in the aggregate of development ii has
shown considerable ore, and there is
much encouragement for future work.
The management Is now planning
for diamond drill exploration. This is
certainly advisable at this time, in
view of the comparative cheapness of
this work as compared with tunnel
work and the strong probability that

LARGE ORE BODY ENCOUNTERED ON
ZOO FOOT LEVEL Of SUNSET MINE
STRONG SHOWING OF ZINC AND LEAD-sTRIKE IMPORT
PROMISING MINING DISTRICT
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

The strike in the drift from the bot
tom of the 200-foot shaft on the Sun
set Is big, Just how big is not yet
fully determined. Every days work
in prosecuting the ledge this week
has enlarged it. The management at
the mine makes no secret of the big
showing. 1--WE don't care to advertise
1t or do unnecessary blowing about
it" they say. and hence not much de-
tail comes from that source. But"
they add IF anyone wants to go down
in the shaft and get his information
first hand, he is welcome to do so"
To one who had taken advantage Of
this offer The Miner is indebted for
the following direct and trustworthy
information:
First 20 Feet Good Orc.
Monday the ledge had been cross
cut 20 feet Practically the whole
width was milling product of zinc
and lead Possibly zinc predominant
ed but there was much lead. In places
there were streaks of clean gaena
and also zinc. and in other parts the
metals were merged. AT that time
the foreman said he was not satisfied
the crosscut had reached the hanging
wall and would put in few more
shots.
Thirty.Foot Ledge Known.
Two days later, on Wednesday. the
report came down from an another
source that the crosscut had been
driven 10 feet further, making 30 feet
and there was considerable additional
ore. It was not said that the hang
ing wall was reached and it Is prob
able the prosecuting is still in pro-
gress.
Possibly Two Lodges Meet.
There is a vast amount of snow yet
where this work is going on and no
chance to study the surface. Those
familiar with the country speak Of a
little ledge, parallel and about 50 feet

AN OLD MINE WITH
VERY MUCH NEW LIFE
slLvER.LEAD ORE IN THE
IRON MOUNTAIN.

Many people in the Occur dAlenes
will recall the discovery of the Iron
Mountain mine. in Spring gulch, Mon
tana, halfway between Wallace and
Missoula, when SO many people from
here Joined in the rush. 1t WAS a gem
uine strike aud the property was pro-
htably worked from the start and for
many years. That was nearly rs
years ago.
Later 1t was closed down by the
Montana mine inspector for non com
piance with the state law and was
idle for long time 1t was then
worked through deep shaft and the
law required another opening,
Reopening the Mine.
Some years ago the owners started

ledge at 1000 feet depth. 400 feet be-

Hiah Grade Silver.
The ore runs about the same in
lead as that in the Occur d'Alenes,
but is much higher in silver. A party
thoroughly familiar with the ore and
the workings of the mine informs The
Miner that the big body of ore be-
tween the 1000 and 1000 levels is
known to average $50 ounces silver to
the ton. That figure is in keeping
with the early output of the mine.
Good Dividends in Sight.
The mill Is to be in operation ut
very early date and 1t Is confidently
expected that from he first not less
than 100000 dividends a month will
be paid and that they will continue
for an indefinite period, Judging from
the known ore reserves and the re-
suits Of development The Iron Noun
tain mine has been a most remarkable
producer from the beginning.

from the main or big ledge. This
they say, is in plain evidence on the
surface directly across from the shaft
and further along on other claims or
the ledge. The dip Of the big Sunset
ledge Is strong to the south, as evl.
denced by the fact that 1t took abou'
1870 feet of crosscut from the bottom
Of the 200foot shaft to reach it in
stead of go or 70 feet, as was though
probable at first This difference in
dip alone might bring the big and )it
tic lodges together at that depth. Al
the time of beginning work on the
shaft, or when there was no snow on
the ground. the management neg
lected to have survey of the So
called little ledge and so have no par
ticular record of it.

This Explanation
 Listens Good.

After leaving Alaska subsequent to His discovery of the Northwest
 passage, Roald Amundson made the extraordinary prediction that the climate of Alaska would become milder. and already this prophecy seems 10 be verified. Frank Was key read the articles published by Amundson al the time and now re- calls them. The famous explorer
 wrote that the great ice wedge
 which lay solid between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans was constant lv moving eastward and would eventually break away into the Atlantic. This, he said, would
 result in a flowing of the Arctic waters into the Atlantic, a rush of 1 Bering sea Watet into the Arctic
 and the warmer waters of the Pacific int6 Bering sea, Such
 would mean according to Amund- son, a change for the better in Alaska's climatic conditions, The ice wedge spoken of was the re-
 mains of the solid ice which for
 merly surrounded the poles. To
 the remarkable alteration that has
 come in ouf climate is added the
 fact that ice appeared in the Atlan-
 tic in unusual quantities and in
 peculiar conditions last yeaf, and one result was the loss of the Ti- tanic. MT, Waskey seems to think it most likely this was due to the breaking of the ice wedge into the Atlantic.
 This seems to be far better ex- plantation of the niildness Of the climate than the story of the change of the Japanese current, and has tke authofity oI the world $ ytsasest saelcref. -Nstie Nugget.

George A. McCee Dies of Exposure.

Bart Daly arrived down from the Unik River country last night with the bad news that his traDp- ing partner, George X. McGee had died of exposure up the river. The two men left ketchikan Oct. I6, for prospecting and trapping trip, intending to be gone all winter.
 They hunted at the mouth of the Unik tor ten days with the crew of the launch Corsair, and then struck inland, leaving part of their outfit at the International Boundry and proceeding some twenty-five miles further to the trapping grounds. The unusual life and food did not agree with McGee, and he began to give out, so the two decided 10 return to the boundry where there was good camp and give him a chance to get a good rest and then come out. The way out was terrible, the snow being fully twenty feet deep, and so soft and light, that a man on snow shoes sank clear down to his shoulders. For II days the two men struggled through the
