CEDAR CREEK.

The Cedar Creek crosscut is now in
about 100 feet Taking advantage of
the good weather part of the force has
been engaged in doing assessment
work on a couple of new claims locat-
ed by the company, while the remain
der has been laying new track Of
heavier steel, the old track proving too
light. This work is now pretty well
rounded UP and work in the crosscut
will soon be in progress. An average
of feet per day has been made.

MULLAN MEN TAKE BOND
ELK MINING COMPANY
OLD AND PROMISING GROUP Ap.
JOINING MORNING SOON TO
BECOME ACTIVE.

That comparatively small sectior
lying on both sides of Mill creek anG
between the Morning and Hunter
mines, about mile from Mullan, has
suddenly come to be about the bus
lest spot in this very busy district
The most extensive operations are
being carried on by the independence
Lead Mines company, of which the
Stewart is supposed to be the con-
trolling factor This company has
cleaned out and extended by drifts
and crosscuts the old Gettysburg tun-
nels and is showing up a large amount
of milling ore. Across the canyon and
joining are the West Hunter and Am
erican- Commander, on both of which
energetic development is in progress.
This week deal was practically clos
ed which will within few days re-
suit in starting work on another we'll
known and promising property which
has been dormant for many years, the
development of which will place all of
the ground lying directly between the
two big mines on the active list with
the exception of the Fanny Gremm,
lying just above the Gettysburg and
joining the You Like, and the Mid
night, still above the Fanny Gremm.
Elk Company Gives Bond.
The deal referred to which was con-
summated this week is a bond given
on its property by the Elk Mining
company to ingalls, & Ingram, mining
brokers of Mullan, who are under
stood to have strong financial back
ing. The Elk property consists Of the
Lucretia, Contact and Saltwater frac-
ton, all patented. The Lucretia joins
the Morning and the owners believe
that it contains the eastern extension
of the You Like vein. 1t was quite
and considerable ore was found. The
tunnels have long since caved to a
considerable extent. The intention Of
the parties taking the bond is to clean
out and repair the old workings in or
der to get bearings on the vein, when
they propose to start a new tunnel as
far down the hill as practical and
which will crosscut and explore the
vein at great depth.
Terms of the Bond.
Under the conditions agreed upon
Ingalls, & Ingram agree to pay $780,
900 for the property, divided into three
the first to be made in 1S
to be followed by the second
in six months and the third and last
at the end of a year from the first
They agree in the meantime to begin
work on the property as soon as the
bond is signed and keep at least two
men steadily employed during the
winter and increase the force to four
men in the spring, and to expend
$4,000 in development before the first
payment.
The principal stockholders in the
Elk Mining company are Joseph Car
son and Al Roof of Mullan, r. E. Seys-
Ter of Wallace, and Thomas Cox of
San Francisco. The Mullan and Wal
lace owners have all agreed to the
bond and its final ratification awaits
the signature of Mr.. Cox, which it is
will be forthcoming in a
few days.

ALAMEDA-succEsJ CASE.
Trial Is Set for November 16-Involves
the Apex Question.

the Apex Question.
The action brought by the Alameda
Mining company against the Success
Mining company, alleging the extrac-
tion of ore to the amount of $4,000 by
the defendant from plaintiffs ground
and demanding an accounting, which
was Instituted more than a year ago,
was this week set for trial on Novem-
Der 16. The amount named is far from
representing the possible sum involv-
ed in the action. Should the Alameda
be successful the court will determine
the value of ore extracted. The Sue
cess company does not deny having
entered Alameda ground, but contends
that In doing so 1t was acting within
its extralateral rights under the law.
1t will therefore be seen that the real
issue to be tried out involves The
question of apex of the Success vein,
and in support of its contention each
side will no doubt be equipped with
maps, models and an array of expert
witnesses.
P. ]. Gearon, president of the Sue
cess company, and James F. Howarth,
secretary, went to Butte the first of
the week. A large number of Ala
media stockholders live in that city.
and their going has started rumors OF
compromise and consolidation, but
there is no confirmation of these.

miles from the city, up Placer creek
+ 1t is the hope of the management that
there will be sufficient water from
this time on to permit continuous
work during the winter. 1t will be re-
Icalled that shortly after the ledge was
encountered in the crosscut from the
bottom of the shaft, 200 feet deep, the
water supply failed and sufficient
power could not be developed to op-
crate the drills, hoist and pump. There
was enough to keep the pump going
and all other work was therefore sus-
pended until supply of water was
available. In the meantime the men

Large Body of Ore.
The crosscut has now penetrated the
vein about 20 feet and according to
reliable reports from the property
yesterday there is 12 feet of ore that
is estimated to run or S per cent

The crosscut will be continued to de-
termine the width of the ore shoot.
after which drifting will begin west
and possibly east. 1t is the belief of
those best informed on the property
that the main ore shoot lies to the
west, and this is supported by the
in the drift from the main
tunnel and the great outcrop of the
vein.
Lead and Zinc Appear.
There is striking change in the
vein as disclosed by the crosscut from
the shaft. Along the footwall there
is about feet of very dark forma-
tion the appearance of which sug-
gests slate, but so pronounced is the
evidence of mineral values that a
sample of it was assayed The result
Of the assay showed only fraction of
a per cent in copper, but about per
cent lead and per cent zinc. 1t has
long been the theory Of the wise ones
that copper would be displaced by
lead with depth, but heretofore there
has never been any evidence of zinc.
The appearance of this new feature at
a depth of 200 feet is attracting as
much interest as the copper shoot, and
the further exploration on this level
will be watched with increasing in
terest.

BUNKER HILL SULLIVAN SHELTER SEEKS
FAVORABLE FREIGHT ON BULLION PRODUCT
POINT ON WHICH LOCATION SHELTER pEPENp-T
WILL MEAN A GREAT SAVING TO coEuR
DALENE oRE-NoRTHPoRT PLANT.

For reasons best known to itself
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan company
refrains from making a definite an
nouncement regarding the location of
the smelter it is preparing to erect,
but it is learned from parties pre-
sumed to be in close touch with the
company that 1t is practically assured
that 1t will be located at Kellogg, Cir
cumstances pointed out in the last is
sue of this paper clearly indicated
that this would be the decision of the
company, and information received
since then greatly strengthens this
belief
Rate on Bullion.
1t has been known from the start
that the question of freight rates was
the point upon which the decision as
to the location of the plant would
turn, and from information received
this week 1t appears that this ques-
ton has narrowed down to the ship
ping rate on bullion to the refinery.
The Bunker Hill & Sullivan Is con-
tending for rate that will place 1t on
an equal footing with other smelters
OF the west, and there is every reason
to believe that 1t will be granted such
a rate. With this accomplished 1t Is
easy to see the tremendous advantage
the plant will be to the mines of this
district. 1t will mean in effect that
the Occur d'Alene lead miners will be
saved the freight rate on the present
long haul to the smelters and at the
same time have their ore treated at
practically the same rate they are
paying now. To the small producer
who now hauls his ore to the railroad
1t means that he can simply continue
the haul little further and get re-
turns on his ore minus the freight
charges he has been accustomed to
pay. Altogether the possibilities Of
benefits to be derived by the lead min
ers of this district Increases as the
subject Is more investigated
The Northport smeIter.
Announcement is made that the
Northport smelter which Is being re-
modelled by the Days, will be ready
for operation about the first of the
year A large force is employed on
the work of rebuilding The capacity
of the lead furnaces will be largely
utilized in treating the ores from the
Hercules and Tamarack & Custer,
controlled by the Days, and 1t is un-
derstood that the Day interests are
negotiating for copper mines in the
Chewelah district which will supply
ore for the copper furnaces.
