ROANOKE MINING Co.
TO WORK UNDER LEASE
WILL MAKE SHIPMENTS OF HIGH
GRADE LEAD. SILVER ORE
WORKED YEARS AGO.

The Roanoke Mining company this
week leased its property to John Gren-
fell, a well known miner OF Kellogg,
the lease to run for three years. The
property consists Of 4 claims, Of
them patented, and is located about
mile and half up Elk creek. Joining
the Alhambra on the north and east.
The Roanoke Is an old property, hav-
ing been worked many years ago un-
der the name OF the Sherman, the late
Charles Manley being one Of the chief
lewners at that time. Considerable ore
was shipped from the property by Its
early owners, and the showing that
has been subsequently made places 1t
among the most promising properties
The property Of the company lies on
both sides of Elk creek and the ground
has been quite extensively explored by
tunnels, one Of which on the Roanoke
claim Is 400 feet in length, disclosing
strong vein with almost continuous
ore, the shoot In places being IL to IL
inches wide. The ore is lead with q
high value in silver.
Since being taken over by the Roam
oke company shaft has been sunk
800 feet, from the bottom OF which a
drift has been run about 100 feet,
opening up a larger shoot of ore and
of the same high grade as that In the
tunnels above
Terms of Lease.
Under the terms of the lease Mr.
tGrenfell agrees to keep two men al

Mr., Grenfell is now in possession Of
the property and is engaged in unwa-

THE SILVER CABLE.
Nine Men Will Be Employed on De.
velopment Durinu Winter.

Nelopment Turing winter.
One car of zinc ore from the Silver
Gable a few weeks ago did not prove
satisfactory, the grade being too low
to be desirable TO the smelters. There
Is large amount Of ore that viii, ay-
erage 80 per cent, and much that Will
so higher but the similarity in the
appearance of the average and high
er grade renders it impossible to sort
and ship it proftably. In fact 1t is
said that it is impossible to distin-
guish the medium grade from the
shipping. For this reason l. is prob
able that the next step IN handling
Silver Cable ore win be the erection
of mill, and with this in view 1t Is
understood that the work this winter
will be directed to blocking out o
large amount Of ore preparatory to
building mill next season. Supplies
have been taken in for the winter and
or 10 men will be employed.

The Constitution.
The Constitution has been in active
operation during the past six months
under the management of Charles Van
Horn. The property has a known
zinc ore shoot 500 feet long, from
which during the period named three
cars have been shipped. Parallel with
the zinc vein is vein showing high
values in lead. but which has not been
developed to any great extent With
ak and saw and the material mainly
in its natural state, Mr.. VanHorn has
made many changes and improve
ments having in view the comfort of
the employees and the economical OPP
Grafton of the property. These in
clude blacksmith shop, ore bins,
bunk house, cook house and improv-
ed wagon road.
Ex- Senator George Turner and
Frank G. Graves, of Spokane, are now
at the head of the Constitution COM
pany, and plans for further develop
ment Of the property include com
pressor plant, hoist and little later
a mill, the last to come when the de-
velopment work insures an ore sup
ply for its operation. In preparation
for these additions the Washington
Water Power company will at once
extend its power line from the High

THE HUNTER.
Mill Is Now Making High Mineral
Recovery Record.

improvements made in the Hunter
mill during the past year are said to
have resulted in making record OF
mineral recovery that compares fav-
orably with any other mill in the dis
trict In addition to the big body of
lead-silver ore in the Hunter there
lis parallel shoot of gray copper hav-
ing very high value in silver which
could not be saved by concentration
The recovery of this silver had long
been serious problem with the man
agement when the flotation process
was introduced into the district. Elk
periments at once demonstrated thai
flotation would do the work and
plant was Immediately installed. Ad-
ditional tables We're also added, all of
which greatly increased the percent
age of recovery to a very satisfactory
figure. However, experiments with
settling tanks showed that there was
still considerable loss that could not
be overcome with the improved facil-
tiles in the mill. A series of dams
have now been built in the creek be-
tween the mill and Mullan which
serve as settling tanks and which re-
cover practically everything in the
way OF mineral value that escapes
from the mill
