THE ST. LAWRENCE.

Reports from Saltese state that ore
for shipment is being taken out at the
st. Lawrence, a we'll known copper
property at the head of Silver creek,
near the Idaho Montana divide, and
about seven miles from Saltese. The
property is largely owned by Angus
Sutherland. of this city, and has been
worked during the summer under his
personal direction. Up to few weeks
ago the work was directed to extend
ing the lower tunnel to get under the
big ore shoot above. This work has
been discontinued now and ore is be-
ing taken from the upper tunnel for
shipment. Several carloads are cas-
lily available and the ore will be haul
ed to the railroad at Saltese before
bad weather sets in. The ore is high
grade copper with good values in gold

crosscut Being Run to Get Under the
Good Surface Showing.
James Dunn, president Of the Ma
iestic Mining company, was in the
city yesterday. He states that he is
carrying out the plan announced in
this paper two or three weeks ago,
namely, driving a crosscut from the
main tunnel to get under fine show
ing of carbonate ore exposed in shaft
sunk on the vein from the surface to a
depth of about 20 feet. This ore in
the bottom of the shaft Is about three
feet wide The crosscut Is now being
run and is expected to cut the vein in
about 100 feet, and which will give
depth of probably 400 feet below the
shaft. The showing there is described
as remarkably good one and much
confidence is felt that the crosscut
will open a good shoot of commercial
ore The Majestic consists Of group

BUTTE 8 SUPERIOR CO.
TAKES CARBONATE HILL
BIG BUTTE COMPANY ENTERS
coEUR D'ALENE FtELD-BIG
ORE SHOWING IN MINE.

AT a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Carbonate Hill Mining company
held in Spokane last Monday after
noon, the proposition to bond the
property for $685. the details OF
which We're published in this paper in
the issue of August 10, was accepted,
with only one modification, namely
the time for the first payment of $75,-
900 was extended to one year. This is
one of the most important deals that
has been turned In the Mullan section,
for it is conceded that another great
mine is soon to be added to the list of
producers in that rich and extensive
mining territory.
Since the strike was made on the
Carbonate Hill a few months ago
which attracted so much attention and
which lead to the deal that has just
been consummated the drift on the
ore shoot has been extended over 100
feet and the showing has steadily i'm
proved.
Butte and Superior Gets Property.
1t is now learned from source be-
lieved to be reliable that the bond on
the Carbonate Hill was secured for
the Butte & Superior Copper company,
the great zinc mine operators of Butte.
1t is stated that representatives of the
are expected at the mine
within the present week to thoroughly
inspect the property and work out
plans for its extensive development.
The Butte & Superior mine at Butte
Is the largest producer of zinc in the
United tSates, and the entrance of
that company into the Coeur d'Alene
district is strikingly significant of the
place this district has attained in the
estimation of large zinc operators.

Ore Showing in the Raise Is the Best

Ore Showing in the Raise Is the Best
Yet Disclosed.
w. w. Russell, manager of the Great
Western, was in the city today and
gave a most flattering account of the
present showing on the property. The
raise which is being made from the
main tunnel is now up about so feet
following the vein. Previous issues Of
this paper have described the ore that
encountered almost from the time the
raise was started Mr.. Russell states
that this showing Is better now than
ever before. The ore is generally sim
liar to that below, but more in the
form Of carbonates, carrying both cop
per and lead. The full width of the
raise Is in ore, probably seven or eight
feet, while a large amount of ore is
left on the foot wall Altogether the
ore shoot is about ~ feet wide
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Great Western, which
was to have been held on the 27th was
postponed on account of the absence
of majority Of the directors.

Contract Let to Extend Tunnel IT'S
Feet on Vein.
A meeting of the directors of the
Comstock Copper Mining company
was held last Monday evening when
contract was let to extend the main
tunnel, which is now in $50 feet, ITS
feet, which will carry 1t under big
surface showing and where 1t is ex-
pected to find commercial ore. The
property is located above Burke. The
big outcrop carries copper, but the
drift which has followed the vein for
a distance of 675 feet shows more or
less galena intermingled with quartz,
iron, manganese and tale. The show
ing in the tunnel is regarded very fa-
vorable. The directors of the COM
pany are John Fl. Nordquist and Otto
A. OLSON of this city, Allen ]. Olson
of Missoula, and Axel Swan and
August Nelson of Burke.

PROGRESS OF WORK
At THE CASTLE ROCK
cRoSScuT IN ABOUT rs FEET
GOOD SHOWING OF COPPER
ORE IN WEST DRIFT.

Work is progressing very satisfac-
torily at the Castle Rock, according to
Peter Limacher, manager for the
Idaho Nevada Exploration company,
which is developing the property Hav.
ing extended the shaft far enough be-
low the zoo level to provide an ample
sunp, a station has now been cut and
the crosscut started to the vein.
Should the vein continue on it's down
ward course at the same dip it showed
when it passed out Of the shaft the
crosscut should cut it in about so feet
However, at depth of about 100 feet
in the shaft there was great flow of
water from the south side
which taxed the capacity of the pump
to handle and which for several days
caused suspension of all other op-
erations until the flow decreased. This
leads Mr.. Oslund, who has charge of
the work, to believe that the unusual
flow of water came from fault
which may cut the vein and throw it
from it's regular course, in which
event the crosscut might have to be
extended much further than contem-
plated.
Ore Shoot to the West.
1t is the opinion of those who have
made study of the ground that the
Castle Rock ore shoot lies west of the
shaft. This opinion is based on the
tremendous outcrop and upon the i'm
provement in the quantity and quail
ity of the ore in the west drift. The
face of this drift now shows a good
grade of copper ore, and should there
be difficulty in locating the vein in the
crosscut on account Of faulting, the
would probably give at
tention to extending the drift west
which promises to develop a GO
shoot of commercial ore.
Other Improvements.
A skip Is being made for the hoist
which will be placed in operation
within the next few days. This is
made necessary in order to facilitate
handling the muck from the crosscut
In sinking an iron bucket has been
used and will be used again when
sinking is resumed
A second nozzle will this week be
added to the water motor, which is ex.
pected to increase the power develop
ment fully rs per cent.
Five men are employed at the prop.
erty The company expects to put
on additional men as soon as the ex-
ira expenses in the way of improved
are cleared up. The cross
cut has now advanced about rs feet.

NATIONAL ORE BETTER
CROSSCUT FROM SHAFT
FORCE AT THE NINE INCREASED
BINS BEING FlLLED-MccoR-
MICK SUPERINTENDENT.

The National mine is the center of
much interest these days, and the out
look for the successful operation of the
property at an early date could hardly
be more promising. The shaft is down
200 feet and is being extended far
enough to provide a sump, after which
the vein will be crosscut and drifted
upon. A cut of about two feet was
made into the vein few days ago
from which samples were taken for
assay. The returns from the assays
were most gratifying and bore out the
prediction that the ore would be found
of better grade on what will be known
as the 1900 level The ore carries 377
iounces silver, 8.S per cent copper and
$1.40 in gold. In addition to this i'm
lprovement in the grade as compared
with the ore in the upper levels, the
ore is also much softer which will
render 1t more economically mined
land milled.
Preparing to Start the Mill.
The force at the National has been
largely increased during the past week
and it Is stated that there are now
about so men employed. Ore is being
mined on the 500 level, which is 200
feet above the main working tunnel.
This ore is being trammed to the mill,
the purpose being to fill the bins pre-
paratory to starting the mill about the
10th or 18th of this month. The mill
is in condition to operate, having been
thoroughly overhauled during the past
few weeks by John Wood.
Mccarthy Elected Manager.
At a meeting of the board of direct
ore of the National held last Monday
evening, James f. Mccarthy, general
manager of the Hecla Mining COM
Ipany, was unanimously elected man
ager of the National His connection
with the National will not affect his
position with the Hecla.
At this meeting of the directors 1t
was also decided to tender the position
of superintendent to Fred Mccormick,
formerly superintendent of the Snow
storm. Mr. Mccormick is now at Bill
lings, Mont, and it is not known
whether or not he will accept the po-
sition. His success in handling the
Snowstorm ores and his general abil-
Iity as a practical mining man render
him especially desirable to the Ma
tional.

THE SILVER MOUNTAIN.
Crosscut Being Run Under Contract
to Cut Contact Vein.

Sam Tennal was down from the Sill
yer Mountain yesterday and reports
that he expects to cut what he de-
scribes as a contact vein any day
There are two veins on ths properly
one of which has been quite exten-
sively explored with very satisfact-
ory results. Recently the company
let a contract to run a crosscut from
this vein to the contact. The con-
tractors have for a considerable dis
tance been running through diabase
dixie and they expect to encounter the
vein very soon. The Silve: Mountain
is located on The south side of the
river opposite the Morning compress
sor, and is largely OWNED by Potlatch
people.

Ore Now Being Hauled to Railroad for
Shipment.
The Silver Cable Mining company
is now shipping zinc ore. A contract
has been awarded to Henry Zickler,
of Mullan, who has two four horse
teams on the job, although at present
the facilities for getting out and sort
ing the ores are not equal to keeping
both teams on the road all the time.
lit is about four miles from the mine
to the loading station on the Northern
Pacific railroad, all down grade, and
from to tons is hauled at load.
The Silver Gable group of claims is
part in Idaho and part in Montana.
The present workings are on the Mon
tana side of the divide, but it is prob
able that when deeper development or
the property is undertaken the main
working tunnel will be run from this
side, as it is possible to get much
greater depth with a comparatively
short tunnel The Silver Gable has a
large amount of high grade zinc ore
and it is expected that from this time
on the property will pay for its own
development.
It was learned yesterday that one
carload of ore has been shipped and
the second is almost loaded. Ten men
have been added to the force in the
mine, making total of probably 20
men now employed.

j Ii you are ever going to invest In

ed mainly upon the opinions of those
who are in position to read the signs
of the times in SO far as they apply TO

those who keep in close touch with
