UPPER BIG CREEK.
Liston Nearing Lead-Masnee Broth
ers on Same Vein.

One of these days there will be a
stampede for stock in properties at the
head of Big creek that will rival the
excitement that has been focused on
the copper belt above Mulan the last
few days. On the Lston the tunnel
that has now followed the vein for
something like 1900 feet, should be un-
der the big outcrop within the next 100
feet. An unusual amount of water Is
now coming in the face and the forma =
tion and character of vein hllng in
spire great confidence that an ore body
is not far distant.
On the same vein, drifting in the op-
poste direction, Magnee brothers are
seeking an ore shoot which Is belieV'
ed will be found under another grea
surface showing similar to the Liston
They, too, have about 100 feet to rur
before they expect to strike ore, ant
the conditions Under which they arr
working are equally favorable.
George Sparenberg is still poundin'
away on the Western Star, and while
the development work Is not as ia
along, he Is right in the mineral bel
and a strike on any Of the propertie
mentioned and particularly on TN
Blue Bell would have a most Favorable
bearing on his property.

CONTRACT ON BLUE BELL.
Five Men Take Job and Will Work
Two Shifts.

Ed Hedin secretary of the Blue Bell
Mining company, has just awarded a
contract to continue the long crosscut
100 feet to G. l.. Hutsell, Frank Hut
sell, Fred Hutsell, J. H. Sinnell and A,
Burress. 1t is believed that by the
time or before this contract is COM
pleted the vein will be encountered,
and provision is made for such con-
tngency in the contract The ground
is hard and the work is done by hand,
but the contractors propose to work
two shifts and will therefore make fatl
progress.
This crosscut IS now in nearly 240C
feet and will cut the vein at depth of
1900 feet. The property Is on uppe,
Big creek and is on the eastern exten-
sion Of the Wardner mineral belt, prob
ably on the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
vein. Stringers showing more or less
galena have recently been encounter
ed in the crosscut. and when the vein
Is found the Indications are favorable
for an ore shoot

BIG ELK SHIPPING
HIGH GRADE COPPER
LOWER TUNNEL CUTS VEIN TrA7
1871 FEET WIDE AND HAS
25 PER CENT COPPER.

Peter Peterson, manager Of the Big
Elk, situated near Adair on the Mil
waukee, came in from the mine Tues
day and returned Wednesday, Speak
ing of the condition Of the property
Mr.. Peterson stated that the lower
crosscut tunnel cut the vein about a
week ago and drifting is now in pro-
gress. The vein on this level Is fully
8 feet wide, showing much copper ore
that will run better than 25 per cent.
While the upper workings showed the
vein to be considerably broken and
disturbed there is no evidence of any
thing Of the kind in the lower tunnel.
Ore Shipments.
One or two cars Of ore have been
shipped from the Big Elk and another
car Is now being taken out. The ore
is Identical with that of the Monitor
although it is not the same lead. When
it is remembered that the Monitor
made good money hauling ore seven
miles over a bad wagon road in order
to reach rail transportation, it is easy
to imagine what the Big Elk can DC
with the mouth of it's lower tunnel al"
most within shoveling distance of
railroad. All the shipments heretofore
have been taken from the uppel
works; In fact, ore was discovered
right in the grass roots and shipment
have been made from ore near th'
surface
Some of the owners Of the Big Ell
are A. H. Featherstone, f. J.. Proeb
sling and Herman Rossi of this city

Promising Prospect Being Developed
Below Osburn.

Vic langley returned the first Of the
week from Blaine, Wash where he had
been called by the serious illness OF his
father. Yesterday morning he went
down to the Eleventh Hour, prop
erty about two miles below Osburn of
which he is the principal owner and
Where he will remain pushing develop
ment work during the spring aid sum-
p,or The property is a short distance
east OF Big creek and Is being devel-
cped by a shaft which Is now down
about GO feet The shaft Is being sunk
on the vein, which Is the width OF the
shaft and how much more Is not now
known. The last shot which was llred
the day Mr.. Langley left for the souno
broke into q streak of ore. but no"
much is not known as the muck was
NOT removed after the shot. hand
f,lI of the ore, however, was obtained
and assayed, showing SS ounces in sill
yer and 13 per cent lead. The shaft Is
now full Of surface water. When thi'
is taken out and the muck removed
is believed that the bottom Of the shaf
! will show a nice shoot Of ore Wh1cl
will rapidly increase with depth.

THE HoRST.pOWELL.
Development Of Well Known Property
on Little North Fork.

Preparations are being made to ex-
tensvely develop the Horst-Powell
property on the Little North Fork by
AL Page and Andy Devln, who are un-
derstood to have an option on 80 per
cent Of the stock. This property is re-
garded as exceptionally promising and
the only thing that seems to have
stood in the way Of its development
long ago is It's location in a new and
comparatively untried section Of the
Coeur dAelne district. The present
development work consists of several
hundred feet of tunnel on the vein and
shaft about 100 feet deep. Some fine
ore has been taken from the mine and
the limited amount Of work makes a
lflne showing of ore. 1t Is situated
about FIVE miles from the mouth Of the
Little North Fork. The wagon road
and bridges have recently been re-
paired and a compressor will soon be
taken in and placed In operation. Four
linen are now employed on the prop
erty.
There are several other properties on
1.-The Little North Fork which warrant
development and the successful opera :
ton Of the Horst Powell will no doubt
lresult in attracting considerable cap
|ital to that section.

said Mr.. Howarth. 1T Is my opinion
that this great activity marks the be-
ginning of permanent revival in TN

a strong demand for the higher ant

ACTIVITY IN STOCK MARKET EXERTS
BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON DEVELOPMENT
READINESS WHICH PUBLIC INVESTS HAS STRENGTHENED
CONFIDENCE AND MADE IT EASIER TO RAISE MONEY
FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES.

) The last week has been one of SEN
Sational Development in the minlhS
stock market rather than in actual de-
velapment work In the mines them
selves. rle tremendous interest sud-
denly aroused in Coeur d'Alone securl-
ties and the great volume Of business
actually transacted shows a confidence
among investors and a readiness even
among the more timid or conservatiN
to put money In shares of mining COM
panies operating in this district or
proved merit The beneficial effect OF
the weeks operations Is already being
reflected throughout the district, not
merely in rise in the stock quota
tions, but in the impetus 1t has given
to actual development work. Every
stock that was to any degree active
during the week represents prop
erty Of real merit either In the actual
showing or advantageous location or
In both. Naturally the question pre-
sents itself. If these things can trans
pire in the copper belt, why not in
other parts of the district where the
show!ngs are equally good and the
conditions equally favorable for big
operations?
Gives Substantial Encouragement.
The result is that every struggling
development company has felt tbs
quickening influence Of an active mar
iet for mining stock, and Is therefore
substantially encouraged to crowd the
work with renewed energy, for the
public has shown unmistakable con-
1dence and 1T is easier to raise money
for development purposes. These ben
eacial results are not limited to cop
pers by any means. Lead and zinc re-
sponded to the influence also, and
throughout the district there Is de-
cidedly a better feeling. moro con-

Throughout the winter much new
work has been going on in all parts Of
the district. and as spring approaches

increase. The most important news Of

Is the strike in the lower tunnel Of the

the latter should give a big boost to
the former. Still nobody took much
notice. that Is, nobody except the
Snowstorm, as subsequent events IN
dicate. 1t is probable that about TINS
time the Snowstorm sent an expert to
see what he could see in Missoula

about that time the big stockholders
in Missoula Copper, knowing what the
expert must have seen, got their IN

not have to wait very long.
