LONG ORE SHOOT.

A meeting Of the directors OF the
Fl e. e. M. Mining company was held
in Spokane last week, after which II
was announced that plans had peen
formulated for the erection of con-
centrator of 100 tons daily capacity, to
be located on the company's millslte
about a mile and a half below this clty'
The directors feel warranted in taking
this step by the showing of ore in the
mine which has now been proven TO a
depth of over 600 feet and on NO. .
i1eval has been explored and shows a
continuous shoot for distance of over
700 feet. No. 4 tunnel, which was run
from the Revenue gulch side and VIII
be the main working tunnel, Is less
than a mile from the site of the pro-
posed mill, and tram connecting the
mine and mill will be matter OF smai
expense. Russell Collins, one OF the

This vein is running almost north
and south and in driving a crosscut to
reach it another vein was cut running
in an easterly and westerly direction.
This vein showed considerable values
in lead, is large and well defined and
justifies extensive exploration. This
will be accomplished by the extension
of the drift on the big vein, for follow
ing their present courses they will in
tersect each other within about 35C
feet. A contract has just been let by
the company to continue the drift 3OC
