tract to drive long tunnel on the
Arlington, on Prospect creek, Mon
tana, came over the first of the week
and returned yesterday. He and two
other men are doing the work and are
making very good progress although
some delay was caused recently by
one of his associates almost severing
his thumb with an ak while making a
wedge in the tunnel. Fortunately the
wound is healing up without serious
consequences.
Down the creek from the Arlington
and below the Montana Standard a
man named Gilbert. who is an old
timer in the Occur d'Alenes, has open
ed UP a very promising vein. 1t is
about feet wide, and about half this
width is quartz and iron with a
sprnklng of galena.

claims adjoining Gifbert's, but moth
ing is now being done in the way Of

workings of the Yankee Boy mine on
Big Creek former employees of the
Shonts lease taking over the highest
tunnel on the property, where they
will begin operations at once. Con-
siderable preliminary work will be
necessary to uncover the pay shoot
at this point as the original tunnel
here was driven many years ago and
has since caved in and the timber
decayed 1t is stated that the ore
from this section was of extremely
high grade, the silver being pheno-
menal This makes four different
sets of leasers now at work on the
Yankee Boy property at different
levels on the vein and the old mine is
said to be yielding handsome returns
wherever the vein has been tapped
Interest for the future of the proper
ty ,centers on the lond tunnel under
way by d. W. Price and associates
which will cut the ledge at 500 feet
depth. This is now in 1000 feet with
200 feet yet to run to catch the main

MINE INSPECTOR PRAISED.
High Compliment From High Min
ing Authority.


ing Authority.
A recent issue of the Engineering
and Mining Journal of New York, a
recognized authority in the mining
world, contains this compliment to r
n. Bell, state mine inspector, in COM
menting ON his last annual report:
"None of the many reports Of state,
national and provincial mining de-
partments or mining inspectors tina
come to this Office can compare in pure
interest with that got out by Robert
N. Bell, state mining inspector of Ida
no. Mr., Bell has the happy gift O..
points in the industry, and presenting
them most acceptably to the reader
We recommend the 1918 report as well
worth reading to anyone for whom
the accidents, geology, milling, past
history or underground development
Of the mines in the Occur d'Alenes
and other Idaho districts hold elements
of interest. Excellent photographs add
this volume, but to our mind, it is tn,
personal touch which Mr. Bell applies
to his descriptions, the result of q
long and intimate acquaintance with
the great mines whose interests h,
seems really to have at heart, thai
distinguishes his reports from tht
standard type Of statistical report, the
dry concentration than the product of
human mind"

THE MOONLIGHT.
Report That Ore Had Been Struck Is
Premature.

The report published in a Spokane
paper yesterday that a streak of ga
lena had made its appearance in the
Moonlight drift was premature. The
vein has just recently been picked up
after being cut out by the second
fault: at least what appears to be the
vein is now being followed, and in the
face there is about two and half feet
of dark blue quartzite along with
seams Of tale. 1t is so much like ore
that it seems like every shot should
expose galena, but it has not made
it appearance yet.
