Montana Man Would Interest WAL
lace People in Project.
A. p Johnson, of Superior, Mont
was in the city this week for the pur-
pose of comforting with Wallace peo-
Pile with the view to getting them in
terested in developing large tract of
placer ground which he has held and
worked to a limited extent for many
years. The ground consists of $50
acres on Trout creek, a few miles east
Of Iron Mountain. The upper part of
the ground has been profitably v
ed for a good many years, but the
main body is untouched. 1t has, how
ever. been thoroughly prospected by
the use of keystone drills. Holes have
been sunk in sufficient number to
thoroughly demonstrate that the
ground contains big pay Mr.. john
sons plan is to handle the ground by
hydraulic, and for this he says he has
an abundance Of water available all
the year. Trout creek is parallel to
Cedar creek, which was one Of the ia
nous placer diggings of the early days
and from which millions of dollars
were taken. Mr. Johnson's PROPOSE
ton seems to be a most inviting one,
but what success he had In securing
Wallace capital is not known.

SIX FEET OF LEAD ORE
ON THE 1900 IN FRISCO
FIRST A LEAD MINE, THEN ZINC,
NOW COMES BACK AS PRO-
DUcER OF LEAD.

Some time ago raise from the 2200
level Of the Frisco encountered good
body Of lead silver ore, being the same
shoot that had been cut on the 1000,
but which had failed to materialize
below. Finding this ore in the raise
showed that 1t had strong rake to the
east, and thereupon the drift was ex-
tended in that direction with the re-
suit that there is now six feet of prac-
tically clean lead-silver ore in the
face. The number of this level is mis-
leading without an explanation that
the 1900 is actually 1900 feet below the
collar Of the shaft, the levels being
numbered from the extreme upper
workings. This is the lowest level Of
the mine and the finding of this ore
shoot Is regarded as highly important
not only because 1t probably means
that the Frisco will be worked at fur
Their depth, but as affording another
example of the great depth attained
by the ore bodies of this district. In
fact the question here seems to be, not
how deep the ores extend, but how
deep is 1t profitable to mine them.
Again a Lead Mine.
The Frisco was originally les
lead mine and as such made splendid
record as a dividend payer. In those
days zinc was serious obstacle in the
way of profitable lead mining as it
possessed no value in itself for the
Gouble reason that there was No mar
ket to absorb 1t and no known method
of separating it from the lead and iron.
Large bodies of zinc ore were there
fore left in the Frisco and when TIE
lead ore was apparently exhausted the
mine was closed down and allowed to
fill with water. Recent years, how
ever have witnessed an enlarged mar
ket for zinc, the discovery of the flo
tation process for mineral recovery
and magnetic separation to withdraw
the iron from the mineral to be recov
cred. It was these that induced the
Federal company some two years or
more ago to take over the Frisco for
the purpose of mining the large
amount of zinc ore known to have
been left by the early operators A
new mill was constructed embodying
modern processes for the recovery OF
the zinc, and 1t is understood that the
operation of the Frisco as zinc mine
has proved successful. And now 1t ap-
pears that the old mine is again to en-
ter the lists as lead producer.
The Frisco has been shut down the
past few days to permit the installa,
ton of new crusher, rolls and other
machinery.

FIRE AT THE REX.
Buildings Destroyed, But Machinery
Not Seriously Damaged.

moi seriously Gdnd9cu.
Fire at the Rex mine last Thurs
day afternoon, the origin of which is
unknown, destroyed the boarding
house. compressor building, and but
for the prompt assistance from the
employees at the Interstate Callahan
Tamarack and Success, would have
started conflagration in the forest
that would have endangered the build
ings at those properties. AS it was
the fire was confined to the Rex build
ings, entailing loss of about $500
The compressor is not seriously dam
aged. The electric motor was dam
aged to the extent of about $500, the
coils being destroyed.
NJ ]. Sweeny, manager Of the Rex,
stated that the fire would not cause
any delay in operations at the mine
At the present time the tunnel Is be-
ing cleaned out and retimbered where
necessary and by the time this is COM
pleted new buildings will have been
constructed and the machinery in
working order when unwatering the
mine will begin.

Company Elects Officers and Resumes
Development of Property.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Rhode Island Mining
company was held last Saturday when
the following officers and directors
were elected: A. G. Webb president
Charles Bollinger Vice president. and
c. e. Clarke secretary and treasurer
These with D. c. Russell and Dr. w. A
Smith constitute the board of direct
ors.
The property of the company is To-
Gated on Terror gulch, just west of
Two Mile, near Osburn, and shows a
most promising vein carrying consid-
cradle silver ore. The development
work consists of about 700 feet of tun-
mel and 1t is believed that further de-
velopment will open up body of com
mercial ore. Terror gulch has long
been regarded as a promising mineral
field, and the Rhode Island as well as
several other groups give strong evil
dence of containing commercial ore
bodies.

NORTHPORT SHELTER
IS BEING OVERHAULED
HERCULES MECHANICS ARE SENT
TO NoRTHPoRT-To IN
STALL LEAD FURNACES.

According to the best information
obtainable, the Days have taken pos
session Of the Northport smelter and
the work of remodeling the plant to
adapt it to handle lead ores is now IN
progress. Several mechanics employ
ed by the Hercules company here and
at Burke have been sent to Northport
where they will assist in reconstruct
ing the plant.
1t was reported last week that few
men were put to work in the Hercules
mine for the purpose of doing some
special development work, but outside
of that no move has been made toward
a resumption Of operations, from which
it is inferred that either there was no
truth in the reported compromise with
the A. S. e. r. company, or that there
is hitch somewhere that requires fur
Their negotiations. f. r. Day, man
ager of the Hercules is reported again
in New York.
Spokane Report
The Chronicle of last Tuesday even
ing had the following on the smelling
situation at Northport.
Several men were put to work "a
the Northport smeter Monday morn
ing and more are to go to work Thurs
day of this week. Furnaces Nos |, 2
and 4 are to be torn down and Nos.
and 6 are to be retained and used
for the treatment of copper ore Lead
furnaces are to be installed.
1.-THE smelter is to be operated in a
small way at first and later made as
modern as possible, with electric pow
er and mechanical handling devices
According to J. J. Day (probably E. r
Day. the future of the smelter will de-
pend a good deal on the attitude of the
people of Northport The company
will not operate any stores nor board
ing houses.

FIRE GUARDS.
These Are Busy Days for the Forest
Service Guards.

From almost every prominent peak
in this district the forest service main
tains a lookout to discover forest fires,
and through this means several fires
have been discovered this season and
promptly extinguished before any dam
age was done The smoke that has
now settled over the district, which Is
believed to come from fires on the 9TH
err side of the lake, has rendered the
lockout practically useless, and in cor
sequence a large number of men have
been added to the fire patrol, which
covers the district pretty thoroughly.
F. Pulaski, the chief forest officer in
this district has his guards we'll or
ganized and keeps in close personal
touch with the situation, and 1t Is be-
Iieved that the danger period will be
passed without serious fire.

THE BURLINGTON.
Contract Let Today to Extend the
Main Crosscut.

John Hall Of Grinnel, Iowa, arrived
in the city this week to arrange for the
resumption of work on the Burlington
at the head of Two Mile, near Osburn
He was accompanied by B. S. Knud-
son, of Spokane, president of the Bur
lington company, and they made an in
spection of the property Tuesday. Mr.
Hall is one of the heaviest stockhold-
ers. The crosscut is now In about
400 feet A short distance back from
the face what appeared to be a vein
was cut and a drift of about so feet
run. A little ore is said to have been
found, but nothing to warrant con-
tinuation Of the drift The manage
ment is convinced that the vein is still
ahead. and a contract was let yester-
day to continue the crosscut.

IRON MOUNTAIN COMPANY STORE
Superior Paper Delivers the Unkndest
Cut of All.


This from the Mineral Independent
published at Superior Mont, in 1t is
sue of August 49, throws an interest
ing sidelight on the company store
question In this district:
wherever the Federal Mining COM
pany have interests 1t Is their policy to
install a company store. and If reports
are true the latest addition to their
United Stores Is the late Wilkinson
property and grocery store OF this
place. The property was purchased in
the name Of Jesse DAILY, superintendent
OF the Iron Mountain Tunnel.
1.-THE building, lots and orchard that
were owned by Yves Wilkinson We're
sold together with the entire stock of
general merchandise owned by DeVern
wilkinson The placing of this store
in corporation line is an omen Of fu
ture prosperity, and Is another proof
that the new owners of the old Iron
Mountain mine will carry on mining
operations here on large scale"

H|GHLAND-SURPR|SE
M|LLRESULTSAREGO GOOD
FIGURES SHOW ACTUAL REcoV-
cry FROM COMBINED LEAD
AND ZINC ORES.

Systematic operations at the High
land Surprise mine on Pine creek are
Injecting with results highly pleasing
to the officers of that company, says
the Wardner- Kellogg News. Test runs
by the mill during the past week have
given returns that fully demonstrate
the efficiency of the mill and mean
that active shipments of high grade
concentrates can now be made from
the mine. w. b. Wadsworth, in charge
Of the milling operations, has been
making a number of preliminary runs
to determine what additions were ne
cessary to the plant and from the re-
suits now being obtained the directors
express themselves as being well sat
isfled with the saving made and will
proceed to carry out well defined
policy of development and inaugurate
shipments at an early date
Separation and Recovery.
The separation Of the lead values
from the zinc content has been the
problem at the mine and this has been
successfully accomplished by Mr.
lWadsworth. The trial runs made this
week on lead separation show assay
returns of 70S per cent lead; 22.S
ounces silver; S.5 per cent zinc, on one
run; with 67.3 per cent lead 216
ounces silver. 95 per cent zinc on the
second. The mill zinc run gave assay
returns on the first trial of per cent
lead, 3.4 ounces silver, AL per cent
zinc, and the second returned 65 per
cent lead, 4 ounces silver 45,S per cent
zinc.
Soon Complete Connection.
The mill is now ready for active OPP
eratlons and Is equipped to handle
the output Of the mine. Underground

terms Of the bond"
Highly Promising Property
The Carbonate Hill is located about
four miles east of Mullan near the S
bridge. 1t suddenly sprang into prom
lnence few months ago when large
body of lead and zinc ore was struck,
and subsequent work has proved the
continuity of the ore shoot, Prior to
the strike the development work had
exposed considerable ore, and particu-
larry in a shaft sunk 100 feet
and disclosed several feet of ore, much
of It of shipping grade. The property
can be developed at considerable addi
tional depth by tunnel and is conven-
lent to the railroad.
