Wallace = Further details of the
strike in the Amazon-Dixie mine near
Sildex, Mont, just over the Idaho
line, were brought to Wallace by Wes-
ley Everett, manager and heavy
stakeholder in the company. The vein
was cut in crosscut nearly 1000 feet
long.
The vein, where exposed, is from
eight to nine feet wide, and at least
six feet is lead-silver and zinc ores of
a good milling quality, with occasional
pockets of clean ore. The lead-silver
and zinc are not in combination, and
are easily separated. The strike is re-
garded as one of the most important
made in the district for some time, but
the extent of the ore shoot must be de-
termined by further exploration.
The shoot was struck at depth of
700 feet on the vein. A crosscut 500
feet above this level has ore, and for
several hundred feet on the surface ore
has been uncovered. The drift must
be run several hundred feet further
E before getting under the best surface
+ showings. The ore taken from the
+ drift is to be stored. and the company
has completed track and ore bins.

r and the outside improvements consist
, of boarding and bunk houses, man.

their scope, still they will be of gre
benefit to the country in stimulatil
