! A small group of Occur d'Alene pio-
'heers happened to meet In the Office
of the Windsor hotel at Mullan the
other day and OF course there were
"reminiscences. Captain w. r. Shields
and III. J. Rice were two of the mum
ber With very small number OF
others, possibly but one or two, they
are the oldest living inhabitants OF
that part of the camp While Cap
tain Shields has been absent much of
the time, he now makes his home
there and Mr.. Rice spends much of
his time there In connection with his
mining interests, though having his
home In another state.
Sawed First Lumber-First Work on
Big Mines.
Captain Shields sawed the first
lumber produced there to build the

Pacific depot stands,

that H. J. Rice did the first work on
both the Hunter and Morning mines.
fact of some historical Importance.
Frank Lindgren, who died several
years ago. was his partner and asso-
ciate in mining and prospecting. All
old timers will remember Rice and
| Lindgren. They did the first Develop
ment on the Hunter and had con-
tract on the Morning early in 1885.
The Hunter and Morning are among
the greatest producers of the Occur
d'Alenes. After 20 years of practical
ly steady production they are far more
valuable, based on known ore bodies,
than at any period of their past life.
Big Work That Holds Out.
did you have any conception Of
what big jobs you were starting and
how long they would LAST" asked one
of Mr.. Rice's attentive hearers.
I'VE were optimistic in those days."
said Mr.. Rice, "and felt that we were
in the making of a great mining camp.
And while the surface showings were
good, We couldn't possibly fully real
lie the greatness Of the mines. The
work started grows bigger year by
year in results, and now, after more
than a quarter of a century no man
can yet tell how long it will last
Every years work seems to prove in
creased length of life and production
But it was very remote country in
those days, far different from what it
is now, with it's transportation facil-
tiles"
Earliest Locations on South Side.

investigate the county records as to

That the great tonnage of leached
gangue above the 700-foot level Of this
mine was once largely filled with lead
mineral is evidenced by the surface
dump, where pieces of spongy iron
manganese gossan ore can be picked
up, which, when broken in cross sec
ton, show a web Of clean galena. T.
is difficult to understand from the low
topographic conditions surrounding
this property how the oxidation ex-
tended so deep, and the fact that it
has reached below the surface drain

that the leached values are likely to BE
retained in the lower horizons Of the

discovered the Hunter groupings. The
Hunter claim was located May 10.
1884, and on June the Yolande, an
important part of the Hunter group
was located.
The Morning claim was located on
July 8, 1884, by George s. Goode, now
prominently identified with the az
fairs Of Thompson Falls. Mont.

Dave Lineberger located the Midnight

| What They Have Produced.
| 1t is further interesting in connec-
ton with these great mines-the hrst
locations in the Mullan district--to
give some Of the big figures of their
production.
| 1t is probable that the two groups
operated as the Hunter and Morning
mines have added between $30,00O,O0O
and $35, 100000 worth Of lead, silver,
zinc and gold to the metal production
of the world during their operation.
Since the beginning Of their devel-
opment, nearly 20 years ago, they have
been producing ore in greater or less
quantities. Beginning with the calen-
dar year 1902 the state law requires
a sworn statement from every mine
management giving tonnage extract
ed, gross value expenses and profits.
These statements are matters Of pub
lie record.
From 1902 to 1912, inclusive, II
years, 3,205,761 tons of ore were ex-
tracted from the Morning, with to-
tai value Of $15.404.57S. Assuming
that the Morning will produce as
much in 1913 as in 1912, which was
considerably in excess of $4,000 900,
the total product in the past IL years
will have been close to $18,000.000. Es-
timating the production prior to 1902.
extending over period Of Is or ii
years, the total production Of the Nor
ming mine to date would be some
where between $25,OOO,0OO and 100000
900.
During the same 11-year period the
Hunter mine produced 549,925 tons Of
ore, valued at $2,O19.64O The 1913
production will bring 1t close to 81
100000 in u years. Estimating its
production prior to 1902 1t would tota.

Supplies for Big Creek.

Leonard Magnee of Magnee broth

be developing promising property in
that vicinity, between the Blue Bell

much work. Mr.. Magnee was purchas-
ing supplies which he had hauled
down today.

ORE TONNAGE AND VALUE.

This Years Tonnage Seems to Exceed
That Of Last Year.
Estimated figures of ore and concern
trate shipments from the Occur

The tonnage mined in October Is
estimated at 225.000 tons.

raise, however. is being put through
and is now within 80 feet of connect
ing the two levels. This will help tc
disclose the relative position of the
two ore shoots shown on the 500.
In addition to the raise quite lit
tie stopping has been done on this 700
foot soft ore shoot, producing mil
feed OF about 10 per cent lead
ore, that has been treated iii a
small crude concentrating plant
near the entrance of the mine
and from this operation five car
loads of concentrates have been ship
ped carrying GO per cent lead 10
ounces silver and SO gold per ton. The
galena ore encountered on the bot
tom level is very much richer in pre-
cious values than the carbonates. and
indicates material increase in this
feature of the mines resources when
the sulphide horizon has been reach

MINING IN THE C0EUR UALENE DISTRICT
N HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CONDITION
OLD PRODUCING RESERVES
PERTEs APPROACHING PRODUCTIVE sTAoE-cREAT
PAST GREATER FUTURE

The record OF mining development.
published from week to week in The
Miner has given the people at home
and abroad more comprehensive
grasp Of the wonderful extent of the
mineral deposits and the marvellous
possibilities of future mining deve!-
opment in the Occur d'Alene district.
For over quarter Of century the
mines of the Wardner- Kellogg Sec
ton. Canyon creek and Mullan have
wealth. and today we are told by
those who know, that the known ore
reserves are greater than ever befo;e.
And now Nine Mile has achieved
place which entities It to rank with
the older producing sections. These
sections long since passed the period
Of prediction as to the extent and the
permanence Of their mineral deposits.
They have made record unsurpass-
ed by any mining district In the west.
viewed from the standpoint OF regular
values, profitable production and con-
tinuity Of ore deposits with deep de-
velopment. II the Occur d'Alene dis
trict should never add another mine
to the list, 1t would still rank as one
of the great mining districts OF the
world. But the half has not been ac-
complished, a fact that must be ap-
parent to any one who follows the
story as 1t appears in these columns
from week to week, confirmation OF
which Is easily accessible to any one
who doubts.
Staying Qualities in Evidence.
Today The Miner conveys the in
formation from an unquestioned
source that another mine, far hey md
the outskirts of the dividend payers,
has demonstrated the possession of
great ore body that is destined to en-
rich it's owners. The Hypotheek is
striking example Of the value Of stay
ing qualities in the development of
mine.
Sunset Gives Proof.
On Sunset the Idora, already equip
ped with a concentration. has acquired
additional valuable ground adjoining,
which means that 1t will eventually
rank as one of the big producers. This
Is only one Of the Sunset properties
which have proven ore bodies Of
commercial value and extent which
will swell the Occur d'Alene OUTPUT
when transportation facilities are
available And it may be stated here
that there Is substantial reason tor
the belief that both the Northern Pa
ciic and the O.-W. r. & N. will be
very active in the spring extending
their lines to reach this rich district,
Copper Beit-Pine Creek.
The copper belt above Mullan Is the
scene Of much activity, and early in
the coming year the big National mill
viii be in readiness to handle the ore
which the mine is even now in read-
ness to produce.
Pine creek is another section which
can be depended upon to rival some
of the older districts, both in the p,o-
duction OF lead and zinc.
Generally Satisfactory Conditions
Taken altogether. the situation in
the Occur d'Alene district could hard
" be better. The prices Of lead and
zinc should be higher. but at the pres-
emit figures there Is fair margin Of
profit, while the price of copper Is
highly satisfactory with every indl-
cation that It will remain so.
