.CROSSCUT ON VIRGINIA
REACHES THE VEIN
FOURTEEN FEET OF GOOD ORE
WITH BEST YET TO COME
LEAD AND ZINC.

Upon his return from the Virginia
Tuesday, Patrick Burke, who has q
bond on the property, reported that
: the crosscut had cut the vein, but had
not reached the foot wall About IA
feet had been run through the vein,
all of which is in ore very similar to
the showing above, except that there
appeared to be little more zinc. The
ore so far exposed, Mr.. Burke says,
could be sorted down to about one
third shipping.
In the tunnel above the vein is
about 25 feet wide, and by far the best
ore lies along the foot wall. The same
condition will doubtless prevail in the
crosscut, leaving the best ore yet to
be encountered At the present rate
the foot wall should be reached about
the first of the month
This crosscut reaches the vein only
about 40 or so feet below the former
showing. In order to obtain greater
depth it will be necessary to run a
long crosscut or sink on the vein, but
what the plans of the management
are in this respect have not been made
public

THE GIANT LEDGE.
Preparations Being Made to Develop
the Property.

Representatives of the Giant Ledge
Mining company, which succeeded the
Granite & Allie, were IN Murray and
visited the property, 1t is stated with
the view to arranging for a resump-
tion Of work. Several men are now a.
work changing the channel of the creek
to prevent the flow Of water into the
shaft.
The shaft is down 200 feet. from
which the vein has been crosscut,
showing a width Of about 80 feet with
milling ore Of fair grade the entire
width. This, we are informed. Is the
only shaft below the water level on
the North Side, and the fact that the
ore holds good at that depth IS regard
ed as highly favorable for the deer
development of other North Side prop
critics Just what the plans Of the new
company are in regard to the Giant
Ledge could not be learned.

COMPANY
TO Be RE0RCAN|zED
OLD LOCATION NEAR OSBURN
MAY YET BECOME A PRO-
DUcING MINE.

Arrangements are on foot to reor-
ganize the Evolution Mining company
with the view to resuming work on the
famous old property. Last fall letters
were sent out to all stockholders by
w. F. Mouser, secretary of the COM
pany, proposing to reduce the capital
stock of the company from 100000
shares to 1,250,000 by giving each
stockholder one share of the new COM
pany for two shares Of the old, leaving
about 350,OOO shares in the treasury
of the new company. In order to carry
out this plan all stockholders were re-
quested to forward their stock to the
secretary at Spokane in time to have
the exchange made by January l. 1t
is known that much of the stock w&s
sent in and it is presumed that the
work Of reorganizing the company is
in progress. The old company is nom
assessable and one of the main rea-
sons for the change is to make the
stock of the company assessable.
Second Location IN District.
The Evolution claim is said to have
been the second location recorded in
the district and was probably the first
location made. 1t was located by A. j.
Prichard, the discoverer of gold on the
creek that bears his name, and was To-
Gated as gold lead. The Prichard

Lead Instead Of Gold.
While there were indications that
the Evolution vein was gold bearing,
it's development by tunnel showed con-
siderable copper values, only to be dis
placed with depth by lead. The main
development work on the property con-
sists Of a tunnel 1000 or 1900 feet in
length, started about 40 feet above the
creek. The characteristics of the vein
on this level are copper with some ga
lena. A shaft has been sunk near the
mouth of the tunnel to a depth of $50
feet, from the bottom of which cross
cut has been run to the vein, which
shows from four to six feet of galena
ore of milling grade
Well Equipped for Work.
| The Evolution has a hoist Of ample
capacity to continue the development
of the property and good compressor
plant. The showing in the drifts from
the shaft give conclusive evidence IF
a permanent ore body, and certainly
justifies the company in proceeding
with extensive development work. The
work already accomplished and the
equipment on the ground seem to leave
nothing necessary but capable man
agement to make this old property a
mine.

THE lDAHO-lOS ANGELES.
Plans Being Made to Resume Work
Early in the Spring.

Work will be resumed on the Idaho
Los Angeles group early in the spring.
AT least that is present intention of
the company, which is represented
here by Alex Mcdonald, of Monarch,
the original locator Of the property
and one Of the large stockholders. The
group lies south and west OF the In
terstate- Callahan, and the vein that
has been exposed at several points on
the ground is supposed to be the Tam
arack. A lower tunnel has been start
ed which will explore the vein at a
depth of probably 500 feet. The mouth
of this tunnel is about 400 feet west Of
the Interstate ore bins, and 1t shows
considerable ~galena which increases
as depth is gained. The proposed
work this spring contemplates con-
tinuation of this tunnel.
John Fink, formerly Of this city,
now of Los Angeles. is large stock
holder and many other Los Angeles
people are interested.

Good Progress on Contract-Vein

T. j. Yarbrough of Walla Walla was
in the city the first Of the week. He IS
one of the principal owners of the
Guelph, situated north of the Hercules
with the Ambergris lying between,
upon which development work is
steadily in progress. There are two
veins passing through the Guelph
ground, both of which have strong evil
dence of containing big ore shoots 1t

the property, but a severe snowstorm
was raging at the time of his visit,
which with the heavy snow already
around the mine, caused him to post
pone his visit until some more favor
able time. A few days later, however,
a messenger was sent to the mine, who
drove as far as the Tamarack an ]
made the remainder of the distance on
snowshoes. He reported that the con-
tractors had driven $50 feet of the 200
feet under contract, and brought down
samples from the face of the drift. The
vein is about four and half feet wide
and has about eight inches of broken
spar intermingled with streaks OF iron
carbonates and tale. The carbonate
has the appearance Of carrying silver
values and possibly some lead The

1t has been impossible to obtain any
further information regarding the cut
ting of the vein on the 400 level at the
Sunset mine. There appears to be no
doubt that the vein was encountered
and had been penetrated to a distance
of five feet, as reported in The Miner

THE GOLDBACk.
Crosseut Will Soon Encounter the
Vain

Crosscut Will soon Encounter sno
Vein.
The Goldback, located at the mouth
of Cougar gulch near Murray, Will
soon be opened by crosscut tunnel
which is being run to cut the vein
about 100 feet below the strike that
was made, several months ago. The
tunnel is being run by John Docktor,
one of the owners Of the property. The
change in the formation indicates the
rear approach of the vein, and the de-
velopments are being watched with
much interest. The original strike
was made almost in the bed Of the
creek and consisted of several feet OF
almost clean ore. Everything indicat-
ed that this was the top Of a big ore
shoot, and the result of the crosscCt
is therefore being watched with more
than ordinary concern.

REPORT THAT FEDERAL
CONTROLS STEWART
NEWS IN COEUR D'ALENES, BUT
THERE MAY BE SOME
TRUTH IN lT.

Has the Stewart mine passed UNI
der the control of the Federal COM
pany? While no such deal has been
heard of in this district. rumor mas
quietly floated in from the east that
such is the case And when one comes
to size up the situation, the acquisi-
ton of the Stewart would probably be
! consummation devoutly desired by
the Federal. The only property owned
by the Federal in the Wardner-kel-
logg district is the Last Chance. and
that it's days are numbered Is mat
ter of common information. Under
the terms Of settlement with the Bun
ker Hill. when operations cease IN
the Last Chance for certain period,
the property passes into the possess
sion of the Bunker Hill, 1t Is not re-
called now whether this agreement In
cludes the Last Chance mill. IL not
nothing could be handler nor more u
the liking Of the Federal than to take
over the Stewart about the time the
Last Chance is abandoned and treat
it's ore in the Last Chance mill, the
Stewart being right on the line OF the
Sweeny spur connecting the LaS'
Chance mine and mill. But II the
agreement includes giving up the Laa'
Chance mill, the Federal would st.l
be in position to handle the Stewart

May Go Deeper.

Contrary to the impression that has
generally prevailed, it was stated yes
terday that regardless of whether the
showing of ore in the crosscut on the
400 that Is now being run Is up to ex-
pectations, the shaft will be sunk an
other 200 feet and the vein prospected
at that level. 1t was stated some time
ago that neither the hoist nor COM
pressor now in use had sufficient ca
pacity to go deeper than 400 feet, but
it is now stated that it is the opinion
Of the management that an additional
200 feet can be run with the present
equipment.
Clark Wants Positive Information.
Senator Clark is reported to have
stated that he wants to demonstrate
beyond question the character Of the
vein at depth with the view to making
1t mine without delay, or of quitting
If the showing is unsatisfactory An
other 200 feet will give practically 800
feet depth on the vein, and when that
is accomplished the future Of the Sun
set mine will be determined.
If this correctly states Senator
Clarks attitude, it can be stated as
almost certainty that this summer
will see extensive work under way al
the Sunset for there can be no doubt
that the ore goes down to great depth
and with increasing quantity an

ing III OTTtt, /.
The face of the drift on the Rainbow
has now attained a depth of 700 or 500
feet, and the indications are favorable
for an ore body with greater depth. It
is possible to attain 100 feet depth by
extending this tunnel 500 feet. Whe-
ther this will be done, or a shaft sunk
on the vein at what appears to be the
most favorable place, is a matter yet
to be determined by the company.

Basis of the Report.

The Miner has no information eth
er confirming or denying the report
and gives the information just as 1t
was received The report came from
the east by way Of the Butte Miner
and speaks of the acquisition OF the
Heinze interests by the American
Smelling and Refining company, which
is the controlling factor In the Fed
eral ownership. Here Is the report:
Reports from the east are to the
effect that the American Smelling &
Refining company has arranged &c
take over the holdings Of the Assets
Copper company. This includes all OF
the interests held by F. Augustus
Heinze and this concern in the Ohio
Copper and Stewart mine in Idaho. II
is said that this was one of the means
by which the American Smelling Sc
cured the contract Heinze had with
the Silver King Coalition, and that this
transfer means the passing of the col
troll in the Stewart properties to the
American Smelling concern.
"Whle the deal was made primarily
for the purpose of securing the King
Coalition smelling contract, IT Is said
that the American was anxious to get
control Of the Stewart properties N
Idaho. This mine has already shown
liberal lead deposits as a result Of de-
velopment under the direction Of AL
fred Frank, and present indications
warrant the belief that the mine will
develop into a still larger producer

more extensive ore deposits than was
expected, and the American has seen
