for the past two years. 1t is the inten-
tion to further prospect tho big body
OF copper ore opened up in the lower
tunnel several years ago. This orc is
the same as that opened in the lower
workings at the National. In the Mis-.
soula workings the ore was moro than
90 feet wide and was followed for
about 200 feet before it left tho drift.
An effort will now be made to find the
continuation of the ore body in the
west end.

Gated on Idaho gulch, two miles south
east Of Murray, workmen encountered q
ledge Of high grade milling ore sixteen
inches in width with large seams Of
galena running all through it. The
width of the tunnel is we'll mineralized
and carries good values in gold and sill

800 feet and they have q well defined

of 35 feet it did not diminish.
New Boiler Installed.
The new boiler recently purchased
by the Hecla for the mill at Gem is
installed and working satisfactorily.
The boiler is 60-horsepower lomoco-
tive type. and supplants q 120-horse-
power boiler. The boiler discarded was
put in by the Old Gem company to run
the compressor of the Gem mine The
change is actuated by fuel economy. 1t
is estimated that the saving in fuel will
soon pay for the new boiler. The new

WALLACE, Idaho, Dee. 27.-What
promises to be the biggest body of ore
yet cut In the Success mine in the Nine
Mile district was encountered last week
when round of shots revealed in the
face Of the drift seven feet of clean,
frst-cut ore. The strike was made on
the 1ooo-foot level, the lowest level on
the property. The shaft to that depth
was recently completed and crosscut
was run about 20 feet to the ledge
where the strike was made The ore
IS strictly hrst-class, good enough to
ship, but will be milled, it is under
stood, for the purpose OF separating the
lead and zinc content at the concen-
traitor: According TO reports received
here the ore will run about 35 per cent
lead and 20 per cent zinc. It has
considerably higher lead content than
that previously encountered in the de.

Committee Authorized.

A resolution was passed instructipg IN
present committee, comprising II. S. 10
scph, Duncan Macvichie and liner Peti
TO appoint five mon to formulate plan
for tho organization OF bureau OF mines
This committee OF five is 10 report

within thirty days. Referring to this or
liner Pett eatd;
Speaking for the committee, we
propose and recommend the orgaDi-
zation OF a bureau OF mines or
state institute to assist in bringing
mining men In closer relation. Win
one another; TO encourage education
IN practical and scientific mining and
statistics covering all points OF pro-
duction, etc; 10 disseminate inforna-
ton relative to mining and metal
lursy and their allied industries and
also for the purpose OF presenting to
the various lawmaking bodies when
the occasion arises complete data so
that they may be enabled to more In
tslligently pass laws and interpret
lie domain and mining industry.
Not long since an effort was made
TO orga nize western mining insu-
tute, to include the states OF Utah:
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and
others, but the committee having this
In charge met with various difficult
ties and found 1t impossible TO ac-
conplish anything In this respect.
consideration has been given also TO
the question OF whether a local min
ing bureau should be formed IN this
state or whether the mining men
should not work through the local
chapter OF the American mining con-
gress. AT the time this question was
under consideration a poll OF the
mining men OF the state was made.
and II was found they were over
whelmingly In favor of an indepen-
dent organization.
Therefore 1t would seem that what
we need Is an Independent state Or
Esnization Of some kind. either bu-
reau OF mines or a state institute.
and we believe that now is the time
10 commence action TO perfect some
such organization.

Organization Favored.

Senator Ravenel McBeth OF Idaho
made forceful speech in which he
gave the mining men some valuable
suggestions and told what they had
been able to accomplish after they had
perfected a statewide organization. He
said that they were able TO get laws
enacted by which mining could be prof.
itably conducted and be was willing
to give Utah mining men the benefit Of
their experience. He told of many
things they were doing 10 advance the
industry IN Idaho and of the immense
advantage organization bad been to
them.
c. L. Allen responded to call for a
speech, and he said that he thought
nothing could be done without proper
organization. He said that the days Of
the old.time prospector had passed and
one Of the principal reasons for this
was the ruling that ore had to be found
in place before any one could locate
the property on which they were work
ing. He said that no man would give
his work and time to prospecting unless
some hope for profiting was held out
10 him. He declared the real prospector
was not a product of the school. He
had 10 be born, not made.
