THE BULLION.
Pipe Line to Be Installed to Take
Place Of Fume.


Prospecting work is still in pro-
gress on the upper works Of the Bull
lion in an endeavor to locate the vein
which has been lost. This work had
apparently been successful when
Manager James H. Taylor left for the
mine few days ago, but how exten-
siye the vein or the value of the ore
is not known.
Meantime preparations are being
made to push work on the long cross
cut which is being started on level
434 feet below. This work is at pres
ent being done under contract, the
contractors to run 100 feet by hand
and erect a compressor house, black
smith shop and boarding house at the
portal Of the new tunnel The COM
pressor house is now completed and
good progress is being made in the
tunnel and it is expected the 100 feet
will be completed by July 1, when the
Compressor will be moved to the new
location. A pipe line about $500 feet
long will supplant the present flume
thus conserving the water supply
when the compressor is not running
the water remaining in the dam in.
stead of going to waste through The
flume.
This crosscut is being run joint!
by the Bullion and Copper Chief com
panies, both having the same vein.

THREE DAYS Of THRILLS
IN WALLACE JULY 4TH
LADY AVIATOR TO MAKE THREE
DARING FLIGHTS JULY 5, 4
AND POSSIBLY JULY S.

The plans for celebrating the
Fourth Of July in Wallace are on a
more extensive scale than ever be-
fore undertaken, and the success of
the finance committee in raising the
necessary funds has made 1t certain
that the plans will be carried out.
While the details of the program nave
not been worked out, some features
of the celebration have been settled
and these are of kind that Will con-
yey an idea of the magnitude OF the
affair.
The Big Feature.
Perhaps the biggest feature OF the
big affair will be the flying exhibition
by Mrs. Alys Mickey Bryant, widow
Of the aviator who lost his life at Vic
toria about year ago and who was
a brother of the man who gave the
splendid exhibition at the Kellogg pic
mic last year Mrs. McKey-B Bryant
has achieved much fame as an avia-
trice and submarine diver and hel
appearance here is certain to attract
many visitors. She will make three
flights, one on July 3 and two on the
4th, for which she will receive $1,000
If the committee desires her to make
another flight on the 5th she will dt
so for $3.50.
Three Day Celebration.
The celebration will begin on Jul.
3 and end on the 9Th. Just what vii
be the features Of each days festiV
tiles has not yet been determined, bu
capable committees are working ol
! the program and there is no doub
| that each day will be made attractiv
Ito visitors.

SUCCESS MAS IS FEET
80 FER Ct. ZINC ORE
TATIoN PROCESS NOW BE-
ING INSTALLED.

Preparations are being made to be-
gin sinking at the Success mine. Sink
ing was discontinued several months
ago at what is called the l0o0-foot
level, but which is in reality only
about 800 feet below the main work.
ing tunnel. On this level crosscut
to the vein disclosed a great body OF
zinc and lead ore, the unusual amount
of lead affording ground for the be-
lief that lead would predominate over
zine as depth was attained. AS the
drifts were extended on this level,
however, zinc again displaced the lead
and at the present time the ore shoot
in the east drift is 35 feet wide and
will average 80 per cent zinc. There
is also considerable lead, but it is
small compared with this big body of
zinc ore.
FIotation Process Being Added.
The magnetic separator which was
recently installed in the mill and the
drying cylinder which removes all
moisture from the concentrates have
accomplished more than was expect
ed of them. The separation of the
iron from concentrates has raised the
value of them to close to so per cent
zinc, while the elimination of all mois-
ture makes direct saving of so cents
per ton in freight charges. But there
is still too much loss, particularly II
the shines, and the company hopes tt
make another important saving there
by putting in the Callow flotatiof
process. One tank is now being pu
in, and if it proves successful Others
will be added.

DEVELOPMENT STARTED THROUGH TUNNEL ON
NORTH SUNSET.
There is perhaps no mining deyel-~ .

There is perhaps no mining -devel-'
opment work in progress in the dis
trict that is being watched with more
interest than that at the Sunset mine,
and it is equally true that here IS no
work going on about which there is
less direct information given out by
those having charge of it. The great
interest in the enterprise is due first
to fixed belief that the Sunset vein
contains an ore deposit that may
rival that Of the greatest mines Of the
district, and, second, that it is owned
nv Senator w. A. Clark, the multi
millionaire of Montana, and is being
developed under his personal dlrec-
ton. The development work now in
progress and which has been going on
for several years is merely prospect
ing, and when it proves the value of
the vein satisfactory to Senator Clark
it is understood to be his purpose to
start deep development on the north
side of Sunset peak through tunnel
which would be the permanent outlet
for the mine.
Fine Showing Of Ore.
The work on the Sunset is through
a shaft sunk from the tunnel driven
from the Nine Mile side and has been
sunk to a depth of 400 feet. At 200
feet drifting on the vein both east and
west showed great bodies of ore which
could not fail to meet the highest eX-
pectations of the owner At 400 feet,
however, reports from the mine indi-
Gated that the showing was not so
good as expected. Drifting was con-
tinued both east and west and the big
vein was frequently prospected by
prosecuting, showing ore ali the time.
A decided Improvement has recently
taken place, particularly in the east
drift on the 400 level, and The Miner
has it from what it believes to be a
reliable source that there is now in
the face of this drift no less than 16
feet of steel galena, along with mucl
other lead and zinc ore of lower grade.
Waiting for Senator Clark.
With this splendid showing on the
400 it is not believed that the shaft
will be sunk any further, for the value
Of the vein at depth seems to have
been sufficiently demonstrated Be-
sides if further depth is planned 1t in
wolves heavier machinery for the
present equipment is said to be Who'll
ly inadequate for the work at the
present depth. What will be done and
when will not be known until the ar
rival of Senator Clark which is ex
pected within tire next few weeks. II
he is satisfied with the showing, and
1t is not likely that he could be other
wise, it is believed that plans Will be
made to start a tunnel to get great
depth on the vein and which will no
doubt show up greater ore bodies
than have yet been exposed in the
property.

CASTLE ROCK READY
TO TAKE OUT ORE
PROPERTY WELL EQUIPPED FOR
MlNlNG-MAkE ORE SHIP
MENT SOON.

The Castle Rock, the Placer creek
property which was taken over several
months ago by the Idaho Nevada En-
Dloration company and has since been
brought almost to a condition for pro-
duction through voluntary assess
ments of the stockholders Of | mill per
month, will soon be taking out ore and
a trial shipment Of a car to the smell
ter will be made at no distant date.
The ore at present Is low grade, the
chief values being In copper and Sill
yer, but it possesses unusual fluxlng
qualities and is therefore very desr-
lit is probable that shipments can be
made on a basis of free treatment
and in any event the treatment charge
will be very low A low freight rate
is also assured. and herein are the
two factors that appear to make i
possible to mine the ore at a profit
1t is also believed that greater ceptl
will show decided Improvement il

NORTH SIDE MINES
SHOWING ACTIVITY
PARAGON PREPARING TO USE
BLACK HORSE MlLL-MANY
PROPERTIES ACTIVE.

L. w. Stedman, manager OF the Chl-
cago London company which owns the
Paragon mine above Murray, was in
the city Tuesday to attend the meet
ing Of the republican central commit
tee. Speaking of the operations or
his company, he said that Is men are
now being employed in overhauling
the Black Horse mill, which will be
used for milling the Paragon ores, and
in getting the mine in shape to pro-
duce. This preliminary work is now
almost completed and it is expected
that the mill will be running now In
a short time. A new set of rolls were
added to the mill and a Hartz Jig In
stalled, and other minor repairs made
to get 1t in good running order.
Both Lead and Zinc.
The ore from the Paragon is both
lead and zinc, and Mr.. Stedman says
the mill does good work in separating
the two minerals. The mill makes a
saving above rs per cent of the zinc
values and the zinc concentrates run
from as to So per cent.
The amount of ore available In the
Paragon is not as great as the man
agnlnent would like, and special ef-
forta will be made to open up new
ground and continue production in
definitely, or as long as the prices OF
the metals will permit a profit.

BIG FORCE WORKING
ON M|sSOULA COPPER
MUCH ORE IN SlGHT-ElECTRI
TRAM TO skOWSTORM AT
NO. 3 TUNNEL.

The Snowstorm Mining company,
whose purchase Of the Missoula Cop
per property a few months ago at
tracted such widespread attention, is
losing no time in exploring it's newly
acquired possession. Immediately at
ter the deal men were put to work
outside and in the mine, and these
have been added to as rapidly as the
progress Of the work permitted until
now, according to information receiv-
ed from persons who have recently
visited the Mssoula, 55 men are en-
ployed Drifts have been run east
and west on the vein which 1t Is said
show an ore shoot 700 feet long. A
shaft has also been sunk to con-
siderable depth on the vein. The vein
is said to be so nearly flat that ore
will not slide from the slopes into the
chutes. A raise to explore the vein
above the tunnel has just been COM
pleted by running a crosscut far into
the foot wall and then raising vertic-
ally to the vein.
How Ore Will Be Conveyed to Mill.
The greatest activity of the Snow
storm in prosecuting the work on the
Missoula indicates that the company
desires to determine as speedily as
possible the extent Of the ore bodies
in the upper works before making
necessary additions to the mill to han
die the ore and also to enable IT, I,
make arrangements for Transporting
the ore to the mill during good wea-
ther That the showing of ore in the
Missoula is highly satisfactory tt
the Snowstorm people Is certain, anc
it is reasonable to expect that within
a short time the actual work of con
structing an electric tram to connec'
the Missoula works with the aeria
tramway at No. 3 tunnel Of the Snow
storm will be under way. At the same
time it is probable that an addition
will be made to the Snowstorm mill.
Long Tunnel Next Step.
Contrary to popular understanding
there is large amount OF stopping
ground above the present lower tun-
mel on the Missoula, probably mor'
than there was above No. of the
Snowstorm. That this is true is clear
ly indicated by the great expenditure
the Snowstorm company must make
to provide transportation for the ore
Meantime when the SnoWstOrm com
pany has become convinced by tn
showing of ore in the Missoula tina
, running a long tunnel to tap the or
body at depth is justified, the exten
sion of No. tunnel Of the SnoWstorn
, will doubtless be undertaken and will
, be pushed with all possible speed.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETS
DELEGATES To PLATFORM CONVENTION
IN SELECTING DELEGATES AND IN OUTLOOK
CAMPAIGN.

No better evidence OF the splendid
spirit that possesses the republican
party of Shoshone county could be
found than was manifested at the
meeting of the county central COM
mittee last Tuesday morning. The
purpose Of the meeting Of the COM
mittee was to select delegates to
attend the state platform convention
which will meet in Boise on June 30.
u matter Of great importance to the
party but one which the average
committeeman often Is disposed to
committee to take care of 1t In some
shape. But such was not the case last
Tuesday, There was a big represen-
ntion of the committee and an earn
est desire was manifested by all to
select men who would be sure to at
tend the state convention and who
would give much thought to framing
a platform acceptable to the republic
cans of the state, one which would
define the attitude of the republican
party toward the issues that will en-
ter into the campaign with candor and
without evasion. Such delegation
was selected, as shown by the follow
ing list:
Delegates to Platform Convention.
Wardner- -Kellogg-Stanly A. Eas-
ton, Gary c. Burke and M. ]. Sinclair.
Wallace--Herman j. Rossi Walter
II. Hanson, A. Fl. Featherstone and
l.. r. Worstell
Burke--Fremont S. Rowe.
Mullan--D. E. Keys.
All Of these delegates expect to at
tend the convention, but in the event
some of them are not able to do so,
the committee provided for the emer-
gency by electing four alternate dele
gates, as follows:
John Mocine of Mullan, Alfred ].
Dunn and Thomas McCabe Of Wal
lace, and Eugene Thomas Of Osburn.
An Aggressive Campaign in shoshone
County.
Both before and after the meeting
the committeeman indulged in much
informal discussion Of the political
outlook, and the feeling manifested
was without exception one favorable
to making an aggressive campaign In
this county and Of absolute confidence
of eecting the republican ticket
throughout. The fact there Is no d.
vision In the republican party In this
county and state, and the further fact
that the democratic party, beginning
with Shoshone county, IS made up OF
warning elements which refuse to be
pacifed, is highly favorable to repub-
lican success and the comments OF
committeeman make 1t plain that the
republicans are fully alive to the ad-
vantages Of the situation and VIII
make the most of 1t. Even the little
meeting of the democratic central
committee to elect delegates to the
platform convention, according to the
morning democratic organ, was not
without It's discordant exhibition.
The meeting was presided over by
James A. Wayne, chairman Of the
committee The vacancy caused by
the removal of r. w. Roach. secretary
of the committee, was filled by the
? election of Alfred J. Dunn
