On the south of Prichard creek
where Butte creek connects from the
north, only few rods east, comes in
Idaho gulch, where recent strike of
lead-siIyer ore was made. Here for
number of years considerable devel-
opment work has been done, and q
substantial promise is held out thai
several mines will loom up before 1916
turns into the past.
Coming near home, to our very door
steps, we have the Goldback, a mine
physically. but yet prospect in name
No shipment has been made from the
property, although the railroad track
Is only so feet from the dump, yet the
showing of zinc is sufficient in the
large ledge to justify the belief that
further work will make sidetrack
necessary and the Goldback placed ir
the shipping list. The tunnel is nov
In little over 1000 feet and all indi-
cations in the breast point to a large
ore body.
The Pilot tunnel, about 500 feet long
on Gold Run. is giving mineral signs
Of approach to the phenomenally rich
zone encountered in No. tunnel some
years ago The face of the tunnel is in
kindly quartz, impregnated with sui
phides and chalcopyrite.
Strikes on Bear Creek.
Assessment work during the year
has been extensive, and some of the
on which this periodical la
Dor Is performed are beginning te
show splendid results One of this
class is what was formerly known as
the Lost Cabin group on Bear creek
across the gulch from the Orofino
group. Here Martin Breidenbach last
week, in finishing his 1915 labor struck
~ inches of zinc and lead ore, which
comes very near to shipping propo-
