THE AMAz0N.D|X|E
NEARS THE VEIN
BIG MINING UNDERTAKING THAT
PROMISES SOON TO SHOW
GOOD RESULTS.

Wesley Everett, manager OF the
Amazon Dixie Mining company, re-
turned from the east a few weeks ago
where he had been for some time in
the interest of his company. While in
the city this week he spoke in the
for the property. stating that he had
been successful in making all neces-
sary financial arrangements to carry
out the plan of development to "A sue
cessful conclusion. The discovery of
the Amazon-D vein few years
ago was one of the sensations of the
district. 1t was one of those unusual
cases in this district of finding pay ore
practically on the surface The vein
has been opened by cuts for distance
of probably 900 feet and shows an ore
shoot of varying width and of COM
mercal value for the entire distance.
A crosscut tunnel cuts the vein at a
depth of 200 feet and drifting on it
shows improved values and an in
crease in width Of the vein from about
s feet to upwards of so.
Permanent Development.
! So we'll satisfied was the manage
ment with the showing disclosed that
plans were at once made for eXplor-
ing the ore body at great depth. Ac-
cordingly the present long crosscut
tunnel was started which will cut the
vein at 500 feet additional depth. 1t
was no small undertaking to equip a
plant and provide the means to drive
this tunnel $500 feet, but Mr.. Everett
appears to have been equal 'to the
/ task. He has equipped plant that Is
model for convenience, efficiency and
economy in mining, which includes
well constructed buildings for all pur-
poses, compressor plant driven by the
company's own water power, saWmill
and all equipment necessary for per-
manent mining operations.
Nearing the Vein.
The crosscut is now in 220O feet and
is going forward at the rate of abou
$50 feet per month. 1t is therefore
expected that the vein will be encoun
tered in about 80 DAYS. Two shift
are being worked and a total of II
men are on the payroll At consider
able distance back this tunnel cut ;
vein four or five feet wide that carries
good values in zinc, which promises
with development to show importan
values in addition to the main vein,
The Amazon Dixie has an ideal To-
cation both from the standpoint O.
mine development and transportation
and the showing on the surface and II
the Intermediate tunnel certainly jus
titles the expectation that another
mine will soon be added to this
great mineral district

THE HYPOTHEEk.

At the meeting of the directors OF
the Hypotheek Mining company. held
in this city last week, the most i'm

The directors made a complete in

Fress has been made in the new shaft
The raise from the 700 level has been
extended $40 feet. while the work
from the surface is down 55 feet. The
galows frame for the new hoist has
been constructed, and roads have been
made to the new entrance to the mine
end several COMPANY buildings con-
structed in the vicinity.

BULL MOOSE TO AID
COUNTY DEMOCRACY
NO OTHER PURPOSE APPARENT
Fur NOMINATION OF PRO-
GRESSIVE TICKET.

The nomination of Harry Williams
as a candidate for sheriff on the pro-
gressive ticket was filed with the
county recorder this week. The NOM
nation was made by A. l.. Nicholson
and its acceptance was filed at the
same time. At the same time w. 7.
Simons Of Kellogg was nominated for
assessor and George Lamielle Of Kel-
logg for commissioner from the seconc
district. Until these flings were made
II was not generally supposed there
would be a progressive ticket in this
county, as there is little left OF that
its membership having
largely returned to the republican
party. Under these circumstances it
seems more than probable that the
filing Of these progressive nominations
is due TO the Influence of democratic
leaders for the purpose of drawing
from the republican vote.
Candidates for Sheriff.
A good many years ago Harry Will
liamS was deputy SltIlll III WHO
county and in 1906 he sought the re-
publican nomination for sheriff in the
republican convention. Being de-
feated for the nomination he became
an Independent candidate and receiv-
ed about 300 votes. Since that time
he has not figured to any noticeable
extent in politics. living on his ranch
near Cataldo For the last rev
months, however. he has been fam
iliar figure in this city, and according
to current report is in the employ of
Harry l.. Day as private detective
though for what purpose Mr. Day
needs a detective is not very clear
However. Mr. Williams employment
bv Mr.. nav and Mr.. Days activity IN
behalf Of the democratic ticket in this
county are significant facts in connec-
tion with the nomination of Mr.. Will
liams for sheriff on the progressive
ticket.

CONTRACT ON TUSCUMBIA.

From D. J. Whalev of Stevensville,
Mont. who is one Of the heavy owners
of the Tuscumbia, it is learned thai
a contract was let the first Of the week
to Albert Nelson and Bert Carver to
make raise of 900 feet from the low
er tunnel to the surface Arrange
ments have been made to use the
Idora compressor for this work. 1t Is
stated that this raise will be started
about midway of an ore shoot that has
been explored for distance of 300
feet. and it is expected that this raise
will practically block out large
amount of ore.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
BIG CREEK, SWEENEY
TWO IMPORTANT CHANGES TO
BE MADE IN INTEREST
o. SAFETY.

The past year and a half has wit
messed greater improvements in the
roads of Shoshone county than in any
corresponding period in the history of
the county. All Of this work has been
done following the plans and speci-
ications prepared by George r. Trask,
the county surveyor, and who IS n
candidate to succeed himself in that
important office. The widespread in
ter( st that is now being taken in good
roads which has resulted in the for.
mutation of an extensive system Of
road improvements in this county de
tails Of which have been and are be-

be retained in this position. Fair eX-
amples of road betterment which Is
now the policy Of the county are af-
forded by two improvements now un-

MURRAY, July 20.-Your cores

not having been able tn secure the
time to make a months trip up aud

law selects notary public officials as

neither be stunned nor transferred to

priVed of a needed vacation and the
readers of The Miner of a mental
ramble through section of the coun-

this drainage basin covers in area
about one half of the entire territory

desirou$ of wasting the open season
entirely, the writer has determined to
give the terJltory Immediately around

whatever that may be worth to The
