ION No. 3 vein the main drift on the
lowest level u75-fooD has been add
vanced $50 feet north from the shaft
the average width of the vein for the
entire distance being about two feet.
A raise has been put through from this
level to the 1O0-foot level, distance
of IFS feet. The raise was carried up
on the vein, which holds its average
width Of two feet. A stope has been
started south and is now up IS feet,
and about 30 feet in length. A stope
has also been started SO feet south of
the raise and is now up about Is feet
and 20 feet long. showing 16 inches
wide In clean shipping ore. The drift
was continued on the 100-foot level
along the vein north 80 feet all in ore
which had an average width on this
level of about two feet. Samples have
been taken from time to time as fol-

south for so feet, the average width
Of the vein being about - inches
ION No. 4 vein a tunnel has been
run for Is feet. This vein shows some
good clean ore along the surface for a
distance Of 80 feet which will aver
age about IA inches. No assays have
been taken Of the mineral in this vein.
mo vein has been opened by sur
face trenching and surface cuts, and
a shaft has been sunk for rs feet. This
vein has an average width of 20 inches
which shows some clean high grade
ore assaying as follows: Gold 0.23
ounces, silver $40 ounces, lead Al per
cent, zinc per cent.
1.-THE veins in this property are all
silver-lead, the principal values being
In silver. All the veins run parallel,
with strike of about 80 degrees east
Of north. Nothing further than the
necessary assessment work has been
done on any Of the other many groups
in this vicinity, owing, 1t is stated. to
the pressing need Of transportation
facilities.
Operations Of Caldwell.
1.-THE Utica mine, situated on Pad
dy's peak in the SLOGAN district, has
been operated continuously during the
year under the management of c. F.
Caldwell, a crew Of 80 men being en-
ployed. The pay roll aggregated $780,
900. Ore shipments netted approxim-
ately $4,000 from a tonnage Of $50
tons. An experimental shipment OF 40
tons Of zinc ore was made during the
year to Pueblo, Colo. The returns
were very satisfactory. The saWmill
erected last fall has been in successful
operation, enabling the management
to erect substantial bunk houses for
crew Of 40 men. A Fraser & Chal-
mers 5-drirl air compressor was in
stalled. The question Of separating
the ores into satisfactory market pro-
ducts has been given serious consid-
Grafton by the management, and at
present negotiations are being carried
on for the erection Of separation
plant to utilize the milling ore at
present on hand. The small vein has
produced the greater tonnage of ore
up to the present, but recent indica-
lions point to the fact that the large
vein will shortly become equally pro-
ductive.
"Unfried & Fisher, also Occur
d'Alene men, are developing the Van
couver group in the Nelson district,
and shipped about rs tons OF high
grade ore during the year.
