George Austin, manager of the RAIN
bow company which until recently has
been actively developing its pr roperty
n Shields gulch, ah, ut thre, miles

to be able to resume operations on
Shields gulch at no distant date.
The recent work on the property
consisted chiefly in building mile

CONTROL OF BENTON
HAS NOT CHANGED
REPORT CIRCULATED DURING
WEEK is AUTHoRlTlVELY
DENIED-THE SHAFT.

A report was current during the
past week that control of the Benton
had passed from John Callahan and his
associates to the Days. The report
came as a great surprise, for the prop
erty seems to be free from any great
difficulties in the way OF Development
and if the fine ore shoot upon which
the shaft is being sunk holds good on
the first level, it is, altogether likely
that ore shipments can be made to
contribute largely toward the more ex-
tensive development OF the mine. The
report, therefore, while accepted by u
few, was not generally credited, and
the Miner can now state authoritative
ly that there is, positively no founda-
ton of fact whatever for the report,
There have been no large transfers Of
stock and those that have been made
have not affected the control in the
least.
Good Progress in Shaft.
The Benton shaft is now down be-
tween 60 and 70 feet The shaft Is
vertical and was on the vein with
ore it's entire width. The dip Of the
vein has now carried 1t outside the line
of the shaft. When ore disappeared
there was more Of it and possibly
better grade than when the shaft
started. 1t seems certain that when
the vein is cut at 100 or 200 feet as
the case may be there will be fine
body of ore, and much Of it of ship
ping grade.
| Manager Callahan reports the jack
hammer drills which are being used
by the Benton are giving satisfactory
results.

THE CASTLE ROCK
MAY SOON SHIP ORE
ERTY ARE NOW INCLUDED
IN THE BOND.

Yesterday James II, Graham, the
veteran prospecter and miner of Placer
creek, signed up the necessary papers
with the Idaho Nevada Exploration
company which brings his interest in
the Castle Rock group under the term
of the bond recently taken by the COM
pany on all other interests in the
group. There are three claims and
Mr. Graham owns one sixth OF one
claim, one-third of two claims and one
third of the mllsite, Mr.. Graham hAu
objected to some minor terms of the
bond "e a'"spj"a by the othtt owner
so yesterday he and representatives of
the company got together and discuss
ed these with the view to arrive at
and agreement If possible. Their Of
forts proved successful in every par
ticular, Mr.. Grahams interest Is now
covered by the bond and all concern
ed are now united in their efforts to
make a mine of the Castle Rock.
soon Begin WORK
With this matter closed up and out
of the way, it is expected that the pre-
lmnary work necessary before actual
mining begins will now move little
faster. A compressor must be Installed,
pipe line for water power laid and
house to inclose compressor and black
smith shop built. These and other
smaller matters must be taken care of
before much can be accomplished OF
undertaken under ground.
Much Confidence in Enterprise.
Every one of the million and a hall
shares of the stock in the company has
been subscribed and many applications
remain untitled. The Castle Rock deal
presents the best mining chance fol
small investment that has been of
fered to the public, and the public was
quick to grab it. The property has
now accessible a large body of low
grade ore upon which the smeltinf

that little more depth may greatl

Contract to Lot on Big 6i'ver-lea
Mine Near Boundry.

Situated almost on the boundry line
between Idaho and British Columbia,
the Idaho Continental mine gives
promise Of soon ranking among the big
lead silver mines of this state. The
property is being developed by The In
ternational Smelling and Refining
company Frequently referred to as the
independent smelter, as 1t Is the only
active rival In this section Of the So
called smelter trust The vein has
been extensively explored by tunnels
which have opened up large bodies Of

meet the lower and upper levels by n
raise which will be 600 feet In length.
This work will be done by contract

THE. BLUE BELL.
Contract Conpleted--New Contract to
30 Let This Week.

The contractors on the Blue Bell at
the head of Big creek completed their
contract last week, and the company
will let another contract of 100 feet
without unnecessary delay, 1t was
rather expected that the lead would
be encountered before the completion
of the contract. 1t was calculated that
the vein dips to the south about 80
feet to every 100 feet of depth but 1t
evidently has stronger dip than sup
rosed. However, the management 1s
confident that It can not he far away.

The SILVER MOUNTAIN
. HAS GOOD ORE SHOWING
COMPRESSOR SOON TO OPERATE
TWO VEINS PASS THROUGH
coMPANY's GROUND.

Cole Frazier, manager Of the Silver
Mountain Mining company. was IN
the city yesterday, having just com
pleted the annual assessment work on
three unpatented claims belonging to
the company. These claims are locat'
ed on a parallel vein north Of the
main Silver Mountain group. ana are
developed by tunnel winch found
the vein as a crosscut and which lost
the vein after a short drift had been
run. The assessment work just COM
pleted by Mr.. Frazier appears to have
cut the vein again on the Millsite
claim, about 200 feet from big iron
outcrop under which there ought to
be an ore shoot.
Ore in Main Tunnel.
The Silver Mountain group is stu
ated on Rock creek, little tributary
of the South Fork, about half way be-
tween this city and Mullan. The pro-
perty is almost opposite the Morning
compressor and the portal Of the main
tunnel is about 1900 feet from the rail-
road The company has In view even
tualy to run tunnel just above the
river level near the railroad which Will
explore the ground at depth Of ap-
proximately 1900 feet
The main development on the Silver
Mountain Is tunnel $50 feet in
lnrg+h which would have been con-
sderably shortened II it had followed
the course of the vein as It was start
ed Where the tunnel finally returned
to the vein it cut about IA inches OF
galena, but the extent Of the ore has
never been determined, for work was
necessarily suspended almost immedi,
ately after the strike was made.
Work Will Soon Resume.
The Silver Mountain has Installed 6
compressor which will soon be In op-
Grafton by water power. The flume tc
convey the water Is completed and wa
ter is running through It, the com
pressor is in position and motor con
nected and all that Is lacking now !!

the flume with motor. Mr.. Frazie
expects to have the pipe in positfo,
in a short time when work will be re
sumed in the main tunnel where tn

THE STEWART.
Ito Control is Still a Fruitful Theme
for Speculation.

The report published some weeks
ago that the American Smelling Il Re
Timing company had secured 'eontrol o'
the Stewart mine through the acqul-
sition of the Heinze holdings attract
ed much comment in mining centcrs
throughout the country. 1t now seems
certain that the smelling company has
mot secured control even If it has the
Heinze stock, for Heinze was 10000
shares short Of control. The market
letter of the Heilbronner brokerage
company Of Butte, in its market let
tier of February 21, quotes Stewart at
s125 bid and $1.30 asked, and has this
comment:
Stewart is in big demand beth here

The time is coming, and 1t is not so
far away as some may suppose, when
Pine creek will take rank among the
big mineral producing sections OF the
Occur d'Alene district. 1t Is not at all
likely that any one at all familiar with
that wonderfully rich and extensive
section will take issue with this pre-
diction. Pine creek and it's tributar-
les drains large territory. and from
the very mouth of the stream to Its
headwaters valuable mineral discover
les have been made and many of them
developed to an extent that estab-
fishes beyond question their CONNER

section, Pine creek has had its back.

lays, but these have not detra. ted
from the value Of the many mineral
deposits, but rather have acted as a
spur to greater effort in the way OF
discovery and development which Is
certain to be amply rewarded. 1t Is a
safe statement that no section of the
Occur d'Alene district of equal size can
show a greater number Of minera. dis
coveries, many of which are OF crm-
mercial value, than, Pine creak just

a pound to the mineral output, 1t Is
far from being idle. In fact. 1t IS one

No larger number Of men are working

OPENING STAR MINE
VIA MORNING No. ;
DRIFTING TO GET UNDER BIG ORE
SHOOT IN THE UPPER
WORKINGS.

According to reports from parties
claiming to be informed on the subject
he work being done by the Federal
company on the Star Is not showing
up AS favorably at this time as was
hoped or expected. The work Is be-
ing done through No. 5 tunnel, an
opening that has long been abandoned
so far as the Morning operations are
concerned. Some weeks ago the Sta"
vein was encountered and it was then
stated that 1t showed a good shoot eof
ore This ore was followed until the
first Of the year, when there was
payment Of Y cents a share due the
Star people under the bond held by the
Federal. Whether or not this pay
ment was made Is not known, but
there are intimations that an exten-
sion was asked and granted
Not Yet to Big Orc Shoot.
Drifting on the Star vein has been
going on uninterruptedly but late in
formation is to the effect that the
showing continues disappointing. How
ever, the face of the drift is still quite
a long way from the ore body develop
ed by the Star owners, 400 feet above
and there is no lack of confidence that
the same ore will be encountered on
this level 1t is stated that the ore
shoot in the upper works Of the Star
ranges from fourteen to twenty feel

DISCOVERY OF ANTIMONY.
Important Find That May Develop
into Something Big.

The first of the year Theodore
Brown and James McVey relocated a
group Of claims near the mouth OF the
gulch upon which is located the High
land Surprise and called it the Ar
cadia. This ground was long held by
Frank and Thomas jenkins, and they
did much work upon it, but without
satisfactory results. In performing
the location work the new owners
went a considerable distance up the
hill and were successful in finding the
vein, the width of which is as yet un-
known. Following one wall in doing
the legal amount Of work, the own
ers ran into Is inches of stibnite
high grade antimony ore when runs
"A per cent. This Is inches IS not
solid ore, but there are streaks OF ore
of VARYING thickness throughout this
width. 1t is believed that depth Will
find 1t in a compact body and the To-
cation is very favorable for gaining
depth by tunnel and this work Will
probably soon be undertaken. MT
Brown has had considerable expert
ence handling antimony ore, and II ne
can develop a considerable body OF
this ore he says it can be porfltaplV
mined at the present market price OF
antimony The Stanley mine above
Burke had some of this high grade
antimony' ore and little has beer
found in the antimony mine near
Kingston, but in neither place was
there anything approaching the guam
tity that appears to be here.

tons per day, without difficulty. This
means payroll eventually of probably
$50 or 900 men.

crosscut was started on the ore at
right angles to the vein. This was run
some 30 or 10 feet into the quartzite
formation and showed more or less

sunk Is or 20 feet on the ore, which
showed d tendency to increase In width
with depth. The unusual form in
which this Ealnna was found and the
similarity of the vein with the Ma
