But in order to close up the ranks
during the past year Burke added an
other mine to its list Of producers. the
Marsh, which is growing with rapid
strides as Its development progresses.
Others to Follow.
Before the new year is far advanced
Burke will have another mine almost
In her back yard. The strike made a
few weeks ago on the Benton leaves
no doubt that 1t is the making of a
mine, and the management is now
equipping it with machinery to DEM
onstrate the fact. That Is wonder
fully rich spot around Burke. There
Is the Ambergris, which ought to be
shipping ore now; the Stanley, with O
good showing of ore and almost a GER
tainty of having the Benton lead; the
Great Western, with a most promising
ore showing, and numerous others in
various stages of development
Down the canyon the old Frisco is
the scene of renewed activity. The
mine has been unwatered and retim-
bering the shaft and levels Is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible. Prac-
tically new mill has been equipped
and before many weeks actual mining
Will begin with largely increased
payroll. In addition to rejuvenating
the Frisco, the Federal company has
acquired all the ground between that
and the Morning, making it field of
wonderful possibilities in the way Of
future development.
Looks Good for Canyon Towns.
These are only a few of the more
notable events in the canyon to be
credited to the year 1918. They are
enough to account for the prosperity
that prevails in that favored section
and to explain why they look forward
to the new year with hopeful confid-
ence. With anything like favorable
prices for the metals, the towns of
Canyon creek should enjoy great pros
perity during the year.

MINING ABOUT SUPERIOR.
Amador Closed Down-Good Placer
Ground on Clearwater.

W. w. Shaw of Superior, Mont, is
in the city and will probably remain
in the district for considerable time.
He reports mining conditions rather
quiet in the vicinity of Superior and
Iron Mountain. The Amador Is closed
down on account of trouble with the
flume which conveys water for power
This, however, is only a temporary
backset. Mr.. Shaw speaks with much
enthusiasm regarding the Amador, and
describes 1t as the biggest thing in the
shape of mine between the Occur
d'AlneS and Butte.
Near Superior Mr.. Shaw has cop
per property called the Sunnyside
which he expects to develop into
great mine. Two big veins traverse
the claims. and while they show good
values in both copper and gold, the ore
is very much scattered and greater
depth is required to determine It's ex-
tent and value, Samples assayed have
shown per cent copper and $40 in
gold.
Mr. Shaw and associates have 100
acres Of placer ground on the Clear
water which he describes as a most
attractive proposition for men with !
capital to work 1t. He says It will pay |
rs cents per yard In clean gold be-
sides having much black sand that will
run 800.

THE UNITED LEAD.
Work That May Have an Important
Bearing on Osburn Section.

The United Lead company. which is
operating a short distance below Os-
burn. is now engaged in sinking a
shaft below water level, and the re-
suit OF their exploration is receiving
much attention from all who are in
terested in that section. The shaft
was started on 60-degree incline on
the vein, but a change in the dip has
carried the vein away from the shaft.
A depth of about rs feet has now been
attained. At 100 feet depth cross
cut VIII be run to the vein and drifting
started. The company is we'll equip
ped for developing the property, hav-
me a gasoline compressor, friction
moist and all other necessary appar-
atus.

MARBLE CREEK LAND
AGAIN TO THE FORE
STATE AND SETTLERS VISIT CAP.
iTAL TO MAKE FINAL AP-
PEAL FOR TITLE.

1t looks now like final action would
soon be taken In the matter of settling
the title to the Marble creek land. The
prolonged and determined fight made
by the settlers has become famous
throughout the northwest. An effort
Is now being made at Washington, in
which the state of Idaho Is represent
ed by Attorney General Peterson ana
Land Commissioner George A. Day,
and the settlers by one of their num-
Der. John X Booth, formerly of this
city, and 1t is believed that this action
will finally end the contest in favor of
the settlers.
Proposal by the State.
The state of Idaho, in it's desire to
protect bona fide settlers on the land,
submitted to the department plan by
which 1t was hoped to secure from the
government lands of equal value to
| those acquired by the settlers in the
Marble creek tract to reimburse the
state for these lands, which 1t expects
school lands and fund would not be in
jured. The Marble creek lands have
played an important part in the history
of Idaho, both in land matters and in
politics. Originally the settlers were
allowed by the government officials 70
file homestead entries on the land when
the state had selected them as school
lands Since then the settlers have held
their entries, but they have never been
able to secure title. In the meantime
the interior department has held thar
the lands belonged to the state.
Hitch in Program.
When the state proposed the ex-
change so that the settlers could secure
title and the school fund would be pro-
tected through a grant for additional
lands of equal value 1t was thought
that the department would grant the
request. However, 1t is understood
that there Is a hitch in the program.
The negotiations have not progressed
rs rapidly as had been expected and II
Is believed by the members of the land
board that trip to Washington by the
attorney general and the state land
commissioner may start matters and
result in favorable action. The state
has learned from the past that great
deal more can be accomplished in this
way than by correspondence.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-01-01

that the past year saw the Stewart
and the Caledonia added to the list oi
producers, swelling the great payroll
that already brought prosperity to the
twin cities. And there are many more
just on the verge of production, and
which may enter the list before the
new year closes.
The old year witnessed the leasing
system Of mining reach an extensive
stage in Wardner and Kellogg, and the
success which has attended 1t gives
promise Of continuous growth.
Pine Creek.
Near Wardner and Kellogg and trib-
utary to them is Pine creek, one of the
most promising fields in the Occur
/ d Alene district. There is not another
unproductive section of equal area in
which there are as many properties
that show ore and warrant the expen-
diture of capital for their development.
Much was accomplished on Pine creek
during the past year, and much more
will be accomplished before the new
year ends. The time is ripe and it
seems almost impossible that the
wealth Of Pine creek can be much
longer boarded.
Wardner.
Those who predicted the decline Of
Wardner as inevitable when the Bun
ker Hill made the Kellogg tunnel the
main entrance to the mine, have an
other guess coming. Although several
years have passed since that change,
Wardner Is still on the map, and re-
cent report from there states that the
past year has seen more substantial
improvements in the way Of building
than for many years before. That
Wardner has a future is now conced-
ed, for besides the payrolls that now
contribute to its support, 1t Is not i'm
probable that a new mine or two may
develop almost within the limits of the
village. So Wardner, in common with
other sections Of the district, can hail
1914 with cheerful confidence.
Kellogg.
For substantial prosperity and per-
manent growth during 1918, 1t must
be conceded that Kellogg holds the
Occur d'Alene record. Business has
expanded at a rapid rate, and public
improvements have kept pace with
private enterprise. The most notable
public enterprise consummated during
the year was the installation of COM
plete sewerage system at cost of $780,
900. A spirit of cooperation appears to
prevail among the people of Kellogg to
an unusual extent, and it's effects can
be plainly seen in the progress of the
city, Besides the people are FORUM
ate in having the warm friendship and
sympathy of the great mining COM
pany whose payroll contributes so
much toward their support. 1t is safe
to predict that the new year will bring
even greater growth and prosperity to
Kellogg than the old one just closed.

MULLAN AND ITS MINES.
Lead Production to Have a Rival in
That Of Copper.


The year 1913 has been kind to the
people of Mullan. Her two great lead
silver mines, the Morning and the
Hunter, have improved with increas-
ing depth and revealed ore bodies that
assure many years of steady produce
ton. In the Hunter particularly, ac-
cording to apparently authentic re-
ports, the ore body has assumed enor-
nous proportions and the quality has
likewise improved. But lead mines in
the Mullan section are confronted with
a real rival in "copper" for there is
abundant evidence that the copper belt
lying above Mullan is certain to be-
come one Of the big factors in the
mineral output of the Occur dAlene
district.
A Year Of Splendid Progress.
The past year has been one of re-
markable activity in the copper belt,
and the results achieved fully justi-
fly the optimistic spirit that prevails
among all who are directly or indi-
rectly interested in this branch of
mining. BY far the most significant
and important step in the direction Of
Increasing the copper output of the
district is the splendid plant that is be-
ing constructed by the National Cop
per Mining company to handle the ores
Of Its we'll developed mine. This
plant represents an enormous expendi-
ture of money for having once de-
termined the permanency Of it's ore
body, and after repeated tests under
every conceivable condition to find the
proper treatment for the ore, the own
ers spared no expense in the con-
struction and equipment Of the mill
The building of this mill by the Ma
tional company may be regarded as
the most important development in
connection with the mining industry
of the Occur d'Alenes to be credited
to the year just closed.
The only operating copper mine. the
Snowstorm. made a successful record
during 1913, and the work now in pro-
gress to locate the vein at depth Is be-
Ing watched with great interest
Mullan Prospers.
At no time during the past year
could any one visit Mullan without
being impressed with evidences of
on every hand The great |
disbursements to meet the /
oayrolls are the life blood of the bust |
hess community In addition to i'm .
due to individual enter
,rise, the village government has been
lctive in advancing the welfare of the
own, with the result that the Mullan
If today is in marked contrast with
he Mullan Of a few years ago. The
pirit Of progress and prosperity Is
much in evidence, and the people Of
Iullan look to 1914 for the accom-
,lishment Of even greater things.

osBURN AND DRY ORE BELT.
Persistent Efforts That May Be Re
warded in 1914.

Although 1t has been a long time
coming, the past year has brought
much encouragement and the prospect
is that Osburn will soon have it's day
as the center Of productive mining
section. Osburn not only has its dry
ore belt but its wet ore belt, also, for
up the gulches to the north side of the
river a great amount of work is be-
ing done on lead-silver properties,
some Of which have splendid show
ings of ore and all show most promis-
ing lodges.
