LEASE PLACER GROUND
ON MOOSE CREEK
AFTER DOING ANNUAL ASSESS.
MENT TWO MINERS SEE A
CHANCE FOR PROFIT.

A lease or any other legal paper
concerning placer ground is rather an
unusual document in this part of the
west just now. and in fact, In any part
of the west, outside of Alaska. Any
good placer ground is desirable mining
property, really most desirable of ALL
but the reason these documents are
scarce is because good placer ground is
scarce. There is little of 1t left In
Idaho the old-timers went after it
pretty hard wherever water was avail
able, beginning in the early sos. BY
the end Of the '70s pay placer was hard
to find. But some Of 1t was left, and
is yet left.
Have Good knowledge Of Ground.
Several months ago two well known
miners Of the Occur d'Alenes. Jack
Moore and John Tibbetts, left Wallace
for the old Moose Creek placer camp,
to do annual assessment work on a
group of claims belonging to the In
dependence Placer Mining company.
About 10 days ago they returned. hav-
ing completed the company's work
They are practical placer miners as
well as hard rock men, one or both of
them having had much experience in
Alaska diggings as well as in various
other camps of the west. Evidently
they were pleased with the ground
and saw possibilities. for they secured
a 5-year lease on the property and are
now taking steps preparatory to open
ing it up.
A Remote Locality.
On an air line this ground would be
some so or S. miles southeast of Wal
lace, on Moose creek, but a few miles
from the North Fork of the Clearwater
river in Clearwater county, Idaho. To
go there it is necessary to travel by
rail to Rivulet, Mont, about rs miles
From there the route Is by trail,
across the Bitter Root range and back
into Idaho, distance of so or more
miles.
viii Get Busy Al Once.
Several men will accompany Moore
and Tibbetts. They will have ample
grub packed in this fall for early work
in the spring, and they will work this
fall and accomplish everything posi-
BILE before snow flies. Then they will
come out for the winter and go in
again on snowshoes as early as prac-
teal next spring. They propose 70
dam Moose creek and develop sufficient
head of water for ground sluicing.
Among the local stockholders of the
independence company are William
Fable, M. l., Mcneil, L. L. Sweet and
" Vinas, Robert Campbell, Chris An
lerson and Otto Trowjoniski all of
Wallace.
The lease covers three claims of a
group of Is.

OUR ADVANCEMENT.

There are over a million motor driy-
EN- vehicles in the world. The figures
are already amazing and the increase
is at rapid rate. The actual number
Of record the world over Is 1,161,911.
OF these 1o24,913 were automobiles
and 1929 were motorcycles.
The United States leads the world
by large plurality. We have In use
62S,1s5 motor vehicles. England comes
next with 125,72s. France is third
with S9,1s5 and Germany next WITH
10000.
Among the interesting items in this
census is one showing the growth of
dhe commercial auto truck. The total
now In use Is put at 69556, though
these figures do not include America

FAR FROM A DEAD ONE.
Famous Old Queensland Producer Vet
Has a Future.

(Mining and Scientific Press)
The last report of the Mount Nor
gan Gold Mining company shows that
this famous old Queensland property
Is far from that stage of existence
which would warrant Oslerization.
With a past record of S,07s,1sS pounds
paid in dividends. and the present rate
OF 20 per cent on a capitalization Of
100000 pounds together with $685.
600 tons of auriferous copper ore in
reserve at the beginning of the year,
the property is far from being played
out" The grazier who sold this pro-
perry to the Morgan brothers in the
early SOS for $40 pounds evidently did
not realize that the lamb with the
golden fleece was within his fold ut

July A. cents
After several months Of practically
even prices for lead. some betterment
is noted. An influence which Is likely
to stimulate an upward movement is
dustral inactivity In Mexico. which Is
by far the largest importer of lead and
lead ores into the United States. AL
though 1t Is difficult to interpret the
actions of the largest lead interest in
this country, 1t is fair to suppose that
Mexican conditions account for the

AN INVALUABLE FEATURE.

The public has been quick to show
Its appreciation Of The Miner as the
representative mining newspaper Of
the Occur d'Alene district and on the
other hand the publishers Of The
Miner desire Its patrons to know that
they appreciate the liberal and ever
increasing support they are receiving
The Miner Is performing service for
this district far greater than that un-
dertaken by any other newspaper Il,
this district, past or present. It Is de-
voting its efforts exclusively to the
publication Of mining news and mat
pertaining to the mining industry,
keeping stockholders informed Of the
progress of work and making known
to the world the many opportunities
for profitable investment in Occur
d'Alene mines. While The Miner Is
republican paper, its news columns
know no politics. 1t wants the news
and urgently urges the owners of min
Ing properties to cooperate with It
In giving publicity to the mining OPP
erations throughout the district. In
this connection, however, It can not be
too plainly stated that The Miner will
not knowingly publish any statement
that would convey wrong impression
as to the merits Of any mining prop
erty, nor will it accept pay In any
form for what appears as mining news
in It's news columns.
There Is one feature of The Miner
to which we wish to draw particular
attention, because it appears that its
value Is not fully appreciated. Every
week The Miner contains a complete
directory of outstanding assessments,
the amounts and the dates upon which !
they become delinquent. Most of the |
notices of assessment are, naturally !
published In this paper but the direct
DRY includes assessments published in
every paper in the county. All the pa
pers published In the county are ex-
amined every week and the directory
Is carefully revised and brought up to
the date Of going to press. This d.
'ectory is most valuable to all stock
holders in Occur d'Alene mines, many
II whom fail to receive notices sert
,pt by secretaries of companies, or
Who frequently lose the original notice .
before getting around to pay the as
essment. This feature alone is worth
he subscription price, particularly to
ION resident stockholders !.

Spelter

In common with the other metals,
spelter recorded sharp improvement
In price during August It reached Its
low point Of the recent decline during
June. July was slow, but August has
seen very. pronounced recovery and
brought the price back to the point
where 1t stood in the early spring.
During the last two weeks OF the
month 1t has sold at about the average
of 1911. In this case also, 1t Is pos
sible that the threatening situation In
Mexico has had its influence upon the
market.

Over From Cedar Creek.

Glenn Weyer came over from the
Cedar Creek mine recently and has
been spending few days in Wallace.
He Is one of the large owners of the
property and has been working there
for some months past. He reports the
work progressing well and in the To-
cation for the new lower tunnel, where
the new buildings and power plant are
TO be located, there Is not the slightest
danger from snowsIides. from whic.

Steady Operations There During the
COMING Winter,

Operations by the Cedar Creek Min
Mile divide, continue steadily. Four
or five men are employed. There is
much work in connection with the new
location for deeper development of the
ledge. This has other advantages, CIV
ing absolute safety against snowsides
and an additional water pressure from
Cedar creek which insures ample pow
er for operation all the year round.
Steady development will be carried on

Copper.
Average New York price per pound.
(Electrolyticl

IL we accept an Oft-repedted reVl-
sion of an old maxim concerning steel,
namely. that copper is an excellent
barometer of trade, the outlook for the
business of the country is somewhat
flattering It is generally admitted
that the copper market is in strong
statistical position, While the worlds
output is greater than ever, the de-
mand Of the industries has clearly
enough expanded to correspond with
the supply. The August / statistics
Of the Copper Producers association
show only an immaterial gain in the
surplus, less than 100000 pounds.
Since the downward swing of prices,
which eliminated in July, the figure
for copper has advanced very sharply
and the price toward the end of Aug
ust was 1887 cents. The upward move
ment Is doubtless to be ascribed to the
labor strike and the idleness of the
mines in the Michigan district, where
any prolonged cessation of yield Is GER
tain to very rapidly absorb the Ameri-
can surplus, unless production in 9TH
er districts were materially increased
to compensate for the loss. The i'm
preston prevails that good prices,
with possible further increase, are
likely to remain with us for some time.
