KING AND QUEEN BONDED.
Report That Smelling Company viii
Operate Property.

Parties coming over from Superior
and Iron Mountain this week state
1t is reported on apparently reliable
authority that the International Smell
ting and Refining company has taken
over the King and Queen mine at
Carter on some basis, probably
bond. and that representative of the
smelling company Is expected this
week to take charge. 1t is also stated
that the new management will at once
remodel the mill and install dry
process Of concentration. The King
and Queen is q silver-lead property,
the ore being similar to the galena OF
this district. The present concentra-
tor is of the usual type of this district
but the absence of water supply mas
prevented its successful operation
The mine is situated in Spring gulch
about three and half miles from the
railroad AS an indication that the
mine is to start W soon, it Is stated
that the Milwaukee has replaced
frog for the switch at the mouth or
Sprinc gulch, which was removed
when the mine ceased operations some
time ago.

BLUE BELL CUTS THE VEIN.
Contract Ended When the Vein Was
Broken Into.

The contract for running 200 feet on
the Blue Bell was completed few
days ago and the last round of holes
broke into the vein The material
shown in the vein appeared to be
heavily mineralized and assays are
being made to determine its value. The
flow of water from the vein is very
strong, and it is believed that com
inercial ore will be found before the
other wall is reached. The company
Immediately let a contract for an ad-
ditional so feet. which is expected to
determine the character Of the vein.
The great depth that has been attain
ed, 1900 feet, the big iron outcrop and
the position of the property with ref
erence to the famous Wardner mineral
belt all combine to inspire great con-
fidence that an extensive ore shoot will
be encountered.

Mines as Well as Timber.
The Little North Fork has long been
regarded as a promising mineral field,
and much development work has been
done on several properties, the owners
feeling confident that their work
would eventually show sufficient ton
mage to interest railroad company
in that section. 1t may mean nothing
but is nevertheless significant cir
cumstance that the two men most
prominently mentioned in connection
with the proposed railroad from Coeur
d Alene, and whose names were sub
scribed to the right of way plat filed
in the land office, nave recently taken
a bond and lease on the Horst Powell
mine on the Little North Fork. Con-
siderable ore has been exposed, but it
Is not understood to be of a grade
that would justify a wagon haul to

that the properly is under bond to Al

they are looking forward to railroad

FLYNN GROUP
FROM FRISCO SHAFT
CULT OBLEM-TERMS
OF AGREEMENT.

There is nothing doing at the Frisco
mine other than keeping the pumps
running, and it is not likely that there
will be any change in this respect for
some months at best. This applies to
mining the Frisco ore. There is, how.
ever, a report that seems to be relId-
BILE that within the next week or two
the Federal company, which holds the
Frisco under a working agreement,
will start crosscutting from the 2200
level of the Frisco into the Flynn
group, which is under bond to the
Federal. This level is 1900 feet below
the collar Of the shaft and has been
extended to within 1900 feet of the
Flynn ground. 1t was believed at the
time the Federal took hold of the
Frisco that one Of the purposes in do
ing so was to gain access to the Flynn
ground at depth.

PRESIDENT Of |NTERSTATE-CALLkHAN
SPENDS SEVERAL DAYS At The NINE
BIG ORE SHOOT GOOD WITH NO SIGN
HAS NOTHING
RAILROAD

GuSL NdTlSOIl VI Iuiuth' PiS'itSiie
of the Interstate Callahan Mining
COMPANY after spending almost a
week at the mine, left last Saturday
morning for the east, going by way of
Butte, where he has mining interests.
In a brief conversation Mr.. Carlson
expressed himself as much pleased
with the condition at the mine. The
great ore shoot which has suddenly
the famous zinc mines of the country
is holding it's average both in width
and quality Of ore as the drift ad-
vances. 1t is now nearly or quite 1900
feet in length and varies in width from
20 to 60 feet Much of this is zinc ore
Of shipping grade There is some lead
and this carries high value in silver
but zinc strongly predominares
throughout the shoot.
Profit in Shipping Ore.
In response to a question regarding
ed that the situation was very unsat-
isfactory and that there was nothing
to indicate change for the better
He stated that the only thing that
saved his company at this time was
the large body of high grade shipping
ore, and it is presumed that there is
no great profit in that. However, as
the Interstate-Callahan company is a
very strong one, and as it is evident
that it's purpose now is to thoroughly
explore the property and place it in
position for large production in the
future, it is not likely that there will
be cessation of operations unless
there is further slump in the zinc
market The shipping ore averages
above so per cent zinc and some of ii
as high as 60 per cent.
Transportation Question.
In response to the suggestion that
the people of this section were very
much interested in the ultimate solu-
tion of the transportation question for
lne 1uteTSldte-CdlldIdH anu OtIler
mines at the head of Nine Mile and in
the vicinity Of Sunset peak Mr.. Carl
son said there was nothing he could
say at this time on the subject for
publication. He intimated, however,
that the matter was receiving consid-
Grafton and that to discuss plans at
this time might seriously interfere
with carrying them. Asked if it was
not probable that the company would
find a permanent outlet on the Beaver
creek side through the Amazon Man
haitian, which is now owned by the
Interstate Callahan company, Mr..
Carlson replied that such, If adopted
at all, would be long time in the
future, and it was inferred that no
consideration was being given to it at
this time.
Outlook in the East.
Mr.. Carlson is heavily interested in
iron mining in Minnesota, an industry
which with steel is regarded as the
most reliable business barometer. 1t
was from this viewpoint, therefore
that he stated that the business out
look for the country at large was not

Good Deal for All Concerned.

In the consummation of the sale of
Ahe Amazon Manhattan the original
owners received "a substantial and
satisfactory consideration for a prop
erty which for various reasons they
were not in position to operate them
selves, and the Interstate Callahan
company acquires additional property

Frisco Ore.

There seems to be no doubt that
there is plenty of zinc IN the Frisco
but it's close association with iron
renders it's successful and profitable
separation very uncertain. 1t is prob
able that the ore presents one of those
complex zinc ore problems which must
await the practical application OF
electricity in the smelling of zinc ore.
Meantime the metallurgical expert OF
the Federal, under whose direction the
flotation process is being placed in the
Morning to recover the zinc values,
and who is now giving his attention
to recovering the zinc by the same
process in the Green Cleveland
MILL, will soon take up the zinc question
at the Frisco and the outcome of his
Investigations will be watched with
much interest

Future Development.

What the plans of the Interstate
Callahan company are with reference
to this newly acquired property is
purely matter of speculation so far
as the public is concerned. Some
facts in connection with it are quite
significant. For instance, a continual
ton of No. tunnel into the Inter-
state Callahan ground would give prob
ably 500 feet additional depth on that
property and provide an ideal outlet
for the ore in the event of a railroad
being constructed up Beaver creek. 1t
is also practical to drive a fourth tun-
mel probably 600 or 500 feet below No.
8, the portal of which would practic-
ally be on railroad grade.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-06-04
Opened Big Ore Shoot.

One of the conditions Of the dea
on the Amazon Manhattan was that
the parties taking the bond should
continue No 3 tunnel on the Manhat
tan claim. Accordingly this was eX
tended about 400 feet and resulted in
opening a fine shoot of ore over 300
feet in length, much of ii Of shipping
grade. This same shoot had been
opened in tunnel No. /, where it was
40 feet in length, and in No 2, where
it was 16O feet, and the work in No.
under the bond made a highly sat
isfactory showing and greatly in
creased the prospective value of the
property. The engineers report at the
time the property was taken under
bond estimated the ore in sight at
$250,000. There are two veins ira
versng the property, the north one
being the Amazon, which is much lar
ger than the Manhattan and in which
a large body of low grade ore has
been opened. AS far as explored the
two veins seem to converge and may
eventually come together, but this re-
mains to be demonstrated. The ore
and general characteristics Of the veins
are widely different which combats
the theory that they will unite.

in playing many pleasant games,
although the object of the circle
was sewing, it was quite forgotten
on account of the many pleasant
things which occupied their at
tention. After spending some
time in playing various games, the
children repaired to the dining
