PANDORA vs.. sNoWsToRM.
Former Wants Permission to Inspect
Workings of tho Latter.

Yesterday the Pandora Copper Min
ing company filed petition in the
district court asking for an order to
permit 1t to make a survey and in
spection of the underground workings
of the Snowstorm. The petitioner
states that the Pandora company Is
the owner of the Tilicum fraction.
Belleview and Hastings claims, which
form the eastern extension of the
Snowstorm vein, and alleges that the
Snowstorm company has entered the
petitioners ground and mined and re-
moved considerable ore therefrom. The
Pandora company states that on Feb
ruary 81, 1915, written request was
made upon the Snowstorm company
to permit the petitioner to inspect un-
derground workings in question and
that the request was ignored. The
ground sought to be inspected and
surveyed Is on level No. 3 and and
includes all drifts. crosscuts and
slopes that may have bearing on the
question at issue.

WISCONSIN AND TEDDY

THREE PROMISING VEINS

Under the direction of Louis Bolduc,
who represents the control of the prop.
erty, the Wisconsin, located just be-
How the mouth of Moon creek, near Os-
burn, is steadily developing, In former
years the property had been explored
by tunnel, resulting in the shipment
of a carload of copper ore from which
a good profit was returned. The tun
mel, however, would give only very
limited depth, which rendered sinking
necessary A shaft is now being sunk
from the tunnel level to dep h of 100
feet, when crosscut to the vein Is
expected to disclose a good ore shoot.
While not expecting ore in the shaft,
as 1t is being sunk a considerable dis
tance from the vein, more or less lead
is being encountered, The shaft Is
now down about 10 feet, The Wiscon-
sin is equipped with a compressor
plant driven by water power.
The Teddy Group.
West of and adjoining the Wiscon
sin is the Teddy group of seven claims,
owned mainly by j. B. Cox and George
Coleman of Kellogg. This is an ex
ceptionally interesting group and i'm
portant results are expected from its
development The ground is traversed
by three veins, the outcrop of each be-
ing easily traced, and all of them have
been pr0spected by short tunnels high
up on the mountain. The first and
second are said to have shown good
values in zinc and lead, the latter be-
ing both crystalized and sulphide. The
third vein has not been cut but is ex-
pected to be reached any day. When
the work now In progress on these
veins has demonstrated their value to
the satisfaction of the owners, opera
tions will be transferred about 700 feet
below where a crosscut has already
been extended about 800 feet This will
be extended to cut the three veins
Work so far on the Teddy has been
by hand, but when the work is started
in the lower tunnel it Is expected that
compressor will be installed. The
Wisconsin and the Teddy are both
within a quarter of mile of the rail-
road, giving good transportation facili-
ties

Several important changes have
been announced in connection with
the management of the HypotheelI

manager, to take effect on May Is,
next Saturday.
AT recent meeting of the directors
of the company ]. A. Kerns, of Moose

pany and also large stockholder, was
elected assistant general manager.
who will act during the absence Of Mr..
Kerns.
Fred Bergen Superintendent.
AT the same meeting of the direct
ors Fred Bergen was elected superin-
tendent of the mine. Mr.. Bergen Is
well known in mining circles in this
district, he having been superintend-
ent of the Morning a few years ago,
From the Morning he went to White

Of which Wilbur Greenough Is man
ager, where he remained until the
closing down of the mine last fall, lie
will take up his duties at the Hypo-
theelk next Saturday.
The Hypotheek shaft Is now down
12O feet below the 900 level. The com
pany will open the 100 level before
taking definite steps in other dlrec-
tions toward the operation OF the
mine, and on that level it Is expected
that suIphide ore will displace the
oxide that has persisted to such an
unusual depth.

SUNSET LOOKS GOOD.

1t has been long time coming but
the awakening of Sunset is now real
,y Not that this famous section of
the Coeur dAlene district is turning
o,,t tonnage to an extent approaching
its possibilities, but the start has been
made and further development Is rap
idly proving that 1t is just what the
early prospectors claimed that it was
a great mountain of mineral wealth
where mines would be opened that
would take rank with the famous
mines of the Coeur d'Alene district
The fulfillment of this prediction Il
shown in the Callahan, one of the early
locations, and which coupled with the
Interstate has become famous as one
of the worlds greatest zinc mines and
Mt the same time a large producer of
lead. This great mine was fortunate
In being able to reach railroad trans
portation on the south side of the di-
vide, hence its successful development
far in advance of other groups OF
claims of equal promise.
On the north side, crossing Carbon
and Beaver creeks, the iron outcrop
of numerous veins stand out in bole
relief, some of which show ore on the
surface and particularly all of them
show ore where development has been
carried to any considerable extent
But the absence of transportation, and
In consequence the difficulty of getting
capital interested, has necessarily
made development slow. But in spite
Of this handicap the aggregate ac-
complished during a long period Of
years makes a creditable showing and
is high testimonial to the industry
and staying qualities Of those sturdy
miners who pinned their faith to Sun
set. Some are still there and in faii
way to secure the reward for which
they have so long labored, while Others
have passed on to that other reward
that lies beyond the great divide over
which all must finally pass. The
amount of work going on along Beaver
and Carbon creeks Is surprising to one
who has not recently visited that sec
tion, and the results accomplished in
one case at least leave no doubt that
a great mine is in the making and
that the tonnage will soon be available
to Justify the construction of a rail-
road from the North Fork.

THE RAY-JEFFERsoN.
A Property Rapidly Approaching the
Productive STAGE.

The most important development
now in progress on Carbon and Beaver
creeks is the Jefferson. 1t has
been some fifteen years since d. L.
McGrath. manager of the company
became interested in the Sunset sec
ton, and about five years since he
organized the present company and
began the systematic development OF
the property. The company owns 32
claims. about half of which are patent
ed and most Of the others are in pro-
cess OF patentng: The eastern bound
ary of the group is the Interstate
Callahan. and from there the claims
extend down the slope, across Carbon
and Beaver creeks, including the juno
ton of those streams and the old Car
bon townsite. Where the two streams
unite the company has an ideal mill
site and which Manager McGrath
hopes to utilize before the year is out
The waters of both streams have been
secured by the company which will
afford an ample supply for milling
purposes all the year round.
A Sanitary Camp.
About a mile and a half from what
was formerly known as Carbon Center
is the Ray Jefferson camp, located in
a narrow gulch down which dash the
waters of Carbon creek. Here is To-
Gated the boarding house, bunk house
and compressor plant, and there is an
appearance of cleanliness and order
that is not commonly observed about
mine camps. One feature that Is par
ticularly commendable as a sanitary
measure is a sewer leading from the
kitchen to covered cess pool far be-
low the buildings. Adjacent to the
kitchen is a large wood house that
holds a winters supply, and back Of
this is q commodious root house exca-
waited in the side of the hill. Above
the boarding house is the bunk house
that will accommodate twelve men.
with reading room and one private bed
room. This building is equipped with
hot and cold water and bath room.
Across the road from the boarding
house Is the compressor building, in
charge of Robert McGrath, the man.
ayers oldest son. The compressor Is
the Sullivan two-phase type and is run
by electric power Mr.. McGrath has a
room adjoining the COMPRESSOR room,

giving his attention, o. 3. Wallace re
turned the first of the week WEI
pleased with the results of his trip,
He was accompanied by w. T. Smith
of Duluth, heavy stockholder In the
Interstate Callahan. He visited the
big zinc mine Tuesday, and while he
was prepared for a tremendous orc
body what he saw was far beyond his
expectations Mr.. Smith left for his
home yesterday morning
Mr.. Wallace says the financial con-
ditions in Duluth and Minneapolis are
not what they should be- but that the
last thirty days have shown great
improvement. Duluth Is mining
town and under normal conditions II
is not difficult to interest Duluth cap
ital in a mining proposition, The great

Mining investments are therefore not
new to the people of that city, and
they are willing to put their moneJ
into a bona fide proposition that has a
reasonable chance for success.
Lack of information regarding the
Occur d'Aene district is serious
drawback, and Mr.. Wallace believes
that systematic advertising in the east
would result in attracting much cap
ital to the district.

RAISE AND SINK ON
AMAzON.D|X|E ORE
ORE SHOOT FOLLOWED FOR 500
FEET-WlLL START RAISE
TIMBERs ARE READY

About twenty men are on the payroll
at the Amazon Dixie mine, at Sildix
Montana, most Of them being engaged
in getting out timber and in operating
the company saWmill, and while this
work is being rounded up the force in
the mine will remain somewhat re-
duced This timber is to be used in the
raise and shaft which will soon be
stared from the main tunnel level
Manager Wesley Everett decided that
1t would be economy to get all the tim
Der necessary to extend the raise and
shaft each several hundred feet while
the weather is favorable, all the tim
ber to be stored under cover so that
weather conditions will not interfere
with the work.
Will Soon Sink and Raise.
Since striking the ore shoot last De-
cember the drift has been run almost
500 feet, showing continuous shoot
for that distance and maintaining
about the same grade and width, six
feet of good milling ore Having es-
tablished to his satisfaction the extent
of the ore horizontally Mr. Everett Is
now going to subject it to the same
test vertically to the extent of several
hundred feet above and below the
drift. If the ore holds good, and he
has no doubt that it will, the matter ~
erecting mill will be taken up. Bnt
first it must be demonstrated that the
company has a mine.
Wants Wagon Road.
And, by the way, Mr.. Everett is
something of a good roads enthusiast
but having no wagon road to the
Amazon Dixie he finds it difficult tC
work off his pentup energies in thai
direction. He therefore wants a wagor
road to connect with the present roaC
at some point on the hill above Mullan
and passing over the divide to SidiS
and thence to Saltese. II is believed
that the commissioners of Mnera
county will take care of the east and
long end of the road, and Mr. Everett
thinks the short span required from
this county should appeal favorably to
the Shoshone county commissioners
and the Shoshone County Good Roads
association.

The Ontario Mining company is the
only company that earned profit that
has not filed. In 1913 the Ontario
showed a profit of $1S3,191, and it is
safe to assume that the year 1914 will
show a substantial increase 1t will
only require an addition of $204,749 to
round out net profit of $6OO0,O0O for
the mines of the Occur d'Alene dis

the Ontario will supply the shortage

New Contract to Be Awarded to Drive
Crosscut 100 Feet.

The old contract on the Happy Day
was completed last week and a new
contract will be awarded in few days
to continue the crosscut another lao
feet, which it Is hoped will cut the
vein. The property is located north
of Burke, well within that great min.
eral belt. 1t Is being opened by d
crosscut from the north side of the
mountain which is now in about 1900
feet. For several hundred feet 1t has
been following a stringer of quartz
carrying more or less galena and on
a direct line for the vein. The con-
tinuous presence of ore in this stringer
encourages the belief that an ore shoot
will be found when the vein is en-
.countered.

THE BEE5E PROPERTY.

Following the sale Of the Carlisle to
the Jefferson, John d. Beebe, one
of the principal owners, turned his at
terition to the three claims lying across
Beaver creek which were patented
years ago by his father. These claims
are the Wayup Columbus and c. A.

and apparently have 1t within their
lines the full distance of $500 feet. The
discovery of ore almost in the grass
roots a short distance above the creek
soon after going on the ground and
near the portal of the tunnel driven
years ago have been told in recent is
sues of this paper. The ore Is about
seven feet in width and is Of good
milling grade. 1t is mainly lead ore.

SUCCESS COMPANY
DECLARES DIVIDEND
MAY DIVIDEND MAKES 100000 FOR
THE YEAR AND A TOTAL OF
$4o5,ooo TO DATE.

The Success Mining company has
officially announced the payment of
dividends no. 26 and q of cent each,
amounting to 100000, payable on May
20 The books for the transfer Of stock
will close on May Is. These dividends
will make a total Of $4,000 paid this
year and brings the total paid by the
mine up to $405.000. The continued
high price of spelter insures earnings
considerably above the regular month
Iy dividends, although it is a mistake
to assume that the Success or any
other zinc mining company IS getting
the price for spelter quoted in the
current market reports. 1t Is probable
that with spelter at 13 cents in the
open market, the price obtained by
shippers under contract Is between
asd 10 cents. 1t is stated that the
surplus above the monthly dividend
will be allowed to accumulate until
surplus of 100000 is in the treasury
of the company. and after that If the
present favorable conditions maintain
the dividend may he increased to 3
cents per share.

as good or better on the two levels be-
low which will soon be opened.

How the Council Stood.

Under the preteXt of economy II had
been urged during the day preceding
the meeting of the council that there
was no necessity for employing a spe-
cial attorney, although the committee
of the council having the matter In
charge had been EXPLICITLY authorized
to do so at the former meeting. This
economy talk aroused suspicion that II
was being made In the interest Of the
light and water company, and at once
produced an effect directly opposite to
that intended. When the question of
employing Mr. Gray came up to the
council Mr., Gyde explained why t vas
necessary to employ an assistant, and
the vote followed Immediately. With
one exception every councilman went
on record in favor of employing Mr..
Gray,
Hearing Begins Tomorrow.
The utilities commission expected TO
begin the hearing today but they were
unable to get through at Standpoint as
expected and will not arrive here until
this evening Mr., Gray arrived ycs-
terday evening, as did Mr.. Ingersoil
also the electrical engineer employed
by the city Engineers and attorneys
for the light and water company are
also here. The hearing will probably
be held in the court house.
