Nearly two months ago The Miner
reported the important strike of ga

nothing has been done since the strike
to indicate whether this apparent
change from zinc to lead is to be per-

occupied in other developments under-
ground and in improving milling facll-
tiles, but it is expected that further
exploration of the lower level will be
taken up before long. Zinc has largely
predominated in the Success up to the

this great body of lead was a cOmpleta
surprise. Where the vein was cross

NEW BRANCH OF INDUSTRY MAY

j. A. Lynch appeared before the
state land board on Friday seeking -
secure a lease on $50 acres Of state
land in Idaho county in which there Is
a rich deposit Of natural asbestos, a
company undertook to develop this re-
source some years ago, and through
mismanagement lost $4,000 and then
abandoned the field.
Mr. Lynch desires to secure a long
time lease, one that will justify him ir
working the property systematically,
He desires to pay the state sma i
royalty. There was a report before
the land board on the property from
Appraiser Bush with recommendation
as to the size Of the royalty the state
should receive. Mr., Lynch thought
this too much and asked that a more
favorable proposition be submitted
This the land board did not feel iusti-
fled in doing with the information in
its possession and the matter went
over until after the return Of Land
Commissioner Day from Washington,
Mr.. Lynch has been in Boise for the
past month trying to get the matter
before the land board Now, he says,
he will remain until the return of
Commissioner Day
The asbestos found on this state
land which by the way Is covered with
timber, is not fbrous such as the as
bestos used in making tlreproof cloth.
theater curtains and the like. 1t comes
from the ground looking something
like wheat bran. TO utilize it it must
be mixed with gypsum, plaster paris
and other materials. Mr., Lynch savs
many experiments are being made
with the Idaho county asbestos, and
AS a result Of these experiments it may
be made valuable.
