The Anthony Silver Mining com
pany Is the name of the new corpor
alton now in process of organization
Of which Theodore Brown, j. II. Fin,
nell and Herman j. Rossi are the in.
corporators. The property of the com.
pany consists of five claims situated
ON Pine creek between the Highland
Surprise and the Douglas and covers
over 5000 feet of Il most promising
vein which has already been quite ex-
tensively developed A good many
years ago crosscut tunnel was run
TO the vein which with the drift is
about 1850 feet in length. The show
ing here is highly favorable, but no
ore of commercial value was encoun-
tered. Within recent years the property
passed into the hands of the present
owners, who at once started to pros
pect the vein near the surface. Al
lantimony ore of commercial value
which soon developed into a shoot ten
inches wide of clean ore This has
been followed for distance of about
SO feet. The vein is about three feet
wide and carries fair values in addition
to the ten inches of high grade Sam
pies taken from this along its entire
length give an average assay value Of
500 per cent antimony
Will Run Lower Tunnel
| At the present price of antmony II
would be possible to haul this ore tC
the railroad and ship it at good
profit, and that is the purpose of the
II new company. A tunnel will now be
driven from point that will cut this
ore shoot at depth of about rs feet
where it is reasonable to expect the
ore shoot to be larger than 1t is above
The ore can be mined economically
the pay streak lying against the hang
ling wall, and the vein matter being
soft, it Is possible to remove all waste
and then break down the ore clean and
ready for shipment.

! Good reports continue to come from
| the Carbonate, situated near Beeler
upon which an important streak was
recently reported, The vein carries
good values in both lead and copper
An impression prevails on Pine cree,
that the Bunker Hill company is con
sdering taking over the Carbonate
but no real basis could be found for 1t
outside of the mere fact that c. w
Simmons, of the big Kellogg company
is secretary of the Carbonate company
