FOUR FEET OF $525 PER TON
UnE REVEALED BY A
RAISE

Four feet of ore averaging $525
per ton, all gold, has been opened
up by the New Goldfield Simmerone
Mining company The discovery was
made Thursday in a raise at a point
3o feet above the long southeast
orosscut to the vein on the 100-foot
level OF the main vertical shaft,
" hIch has a total depth of $50 feet.
The find proves the downward con-
tinuatiOn of the ore body from whicn
lessees about two years ago extract
ed approximately $4,000 worth OF
high grade ore in sinking 65-foot
shaft and the extension OF a sOuta
orilt at that depth for about 100
loet The main working shaft collar
is 81 feet lower than that OF the
old lease shaft referred to and the
distance between the top of the new
raise and the 65-foot level of tue
latter is about 16 feet.
AS the ore shoot rakes to the
south in the vein, trend1ng north
east and southwest and dipping to
the northwest on an angle of 40 de-
grees, work in the raise has been
temporarily suspended and a drift
has been started to disclose it on the
1OO-fOot level proper. 1t is est1mat-
ed by General superintendent knick-
erbocker that it will be necessary to
extend the drift about SO or GO feet
to reach the objective point. After
this work is accomplished the man
agement will resume the extension
of the southeast crosscut on the 25O-
foot level to catch the ore body at
that depth.
JOHN ROPER and C. e. Collins,
mining men of Silver Crown, ar
rived from their property in that
camp yesterday and are at the Gold :

CROSSCCT ON SILVER PICK 600
LEVEL REACHES OBJECT
I'VE POINT

At a point 143 feet from the shaft
the east crosscut on the 6OO-foot
level of the property of the Silver
Pick Consolidated Mines company
recently disclosed the upward extern
sion of the big vein first exposed
about two months ago by a raise
from the east crosscut on the 700
foot level. Thus far the crosscut
has penetrated ledge matter for
distance of more than Is feet with
out revealing the hanging wall. AS
the work in the crOsscut progresses
the vein matter is becoming more
solidified, and it is expected that
when the hanging wall of the vein is
reached better conditions will pre-
vail Thus far only small values
have been obtained il intersecting
the vein.
On the 500-foot level, drifting
north continues from the west cross
cut on the old Phelan lease vein.
Although only small values prevail.
General superintendent Walter S.
Norris is confident that the drift
will soon catch the downward exten-
sion of the ore body opened up about
two years ago in the lease named
closer to the surface. Operations on
the 7OO-foot level were suspended
some time ago, but will be resumed
after the veins are fully explored on
the INNER levels

VALUES IMPROVE,
VEINS DECREASE
SEVEN TROUGHS COALITION 60
SUFFERS DELAY IN Or
ERATIONS

A delay of several days during tf'
first of the month may initiate
against a record production from
Seven Troughs Coalition for october, &,
unless this disadvantage b offset
by the excellent high grade show
ings in all the Slopes on the l2oO,
1900 and 400 levels, says the Love-
lock Review-Miner. In some IN
stances the veins have narrowed
down. but the values have increased,
excepting the remarkable body OF
$4,000 ore that was encountered on
the 1900 south drift two weeks ago
which has passed through and has
resumed normal level more In
keeping with the general values
throughout the mine.
A bullion shipment of $4,000, rep
resenting a weeks run, was brought
in Oct. II. but it is safe to assume
that the daily production for for
the balance of the month will run
considerably over $1,000 day. This
estimate is based on present show
ings with the constant probability
OF HlSh SiouO o'iS"'N'
which has been the history of the
mine in the past and which has
brought up it's general average to a
point believed to exceed that of any
other gold mine.
The new exploration and develop
ment work is going ahead rapidly,
particularly in the deep winze from
the 400 south drift and is nov
down so feet 1t will be sunk an ad-
ditional SO feet before a station is
run, after which there will PROB
ably be drifting both ways on the
1900 level, where It has long been
anticipated that important ore boo
les would be disclosed raking to the
far south as indicate in the upper
workings. New work is also going
ahead on the 100 level TO hh~ry
the connection with the Lookout
sraft for the purpose of more econ
oomical hosting of the ore.

GOOD PROGRESS
IS BEING MADE
WATER IN SPEARHEAD SHAFT
HAS BEEN LOWERED FIFTY
FEET

Under the guidance of General Su-
perintendent H. F. Bruce, the Spear
head Gold Mining company is max
ing excellent progress in the WORK
incident to Inauguration OF deep op-
erations outlined at the recent spe-
cial meeting of the stockholders OF
the company in this camp. Actual
mining operations should be under
way within the next ten or fifteen
days.
Since the company resumed about
ten days ago work on it's own &C
count after an idleness of about
eight years, two shifts of miners en-
ployed have been busilT engaged in
lowering the 100 feet of water that
had accumulated in the old Shale
shaft, which has total depth OF
25O feet. The water has been low
cred to the 2O0-foot point, on VIII,
level there is a 100-foot crosscut.
AS previously announced, it is the
intention of the company to con-
tinue this shaft down to the 95O-fcr
point, at which depth 1t is expected
the latite-shale contact will be re-
vealed. A three-drill air compress
or and two jackhammer drills will
be installed in the near future t.
facilitate sinking operations. A
forty-ton bin has been erected and
an automatic dumping apparatus in
stalled on the surface to handle the
muck extracted in such operations.

NATURAL BORN HUNTERS.

Brazilian Natives Are Only Rivaled by
Those of Australia.
Ii you want to find a thoroughbred
sportsman you must look among the
natives of the Brazilian forests. Espe-
eially among the Botocudo, to whom
tracking game is the chief business of
his life. He does 1t with such skill
that he fills the white man with awe
and wonder.
However enthusiastic q huntsman
you are you will feel yourself a poor
sportsman after watching him for
little while. The Botocudo hunter
glides stealthily through the forest
He understands every sign and habit
of bird and beast. He knows how
high up an armadillo displaces the
leaves of tree In passing. He can
distinguish the tracks of the snake
and the tortoise He can follow the
tortoise to its burrow by the scratches
Of its scaly armor on the mud. His
sense of smell is so keen that 1t helps
him great deal in hunting. Hidden
behind the trunk of tree he can i'm
itate the cries of birds and beasts to
bring them within range of his deadly
poisoned arrow. He can even entice
the alligator by making her rough eggs
CRATE together where they lie under
leaves on the river bank. If he shoots
at an ape and the animal does not fall
he will climb up after the animal by a
hanging creeper where no white man
would climb. However dark the for
est, he is Indifferent to this darkness.
Laden with his bag of game he finds
his way back to his hut by the sun
and the lay of the ground.
His only rival is the Australian ma
| tive. He will lie in wait behind a
screen Of boughs. He waits until the
kangaroo comes to drink, or he will
track him for days in the open. He
| will camp by his fire to be ready for
his pursuit at early dawn. He keeps
unseen to leeward.
When a number hunt together they
will put up brush fence In two long
wings, converging toward pit, and sc
drive the kangaroos into it. They alst
form great hunting parties for bat
tue surrounding half a mile of bush
land, and with shouts and clatter they
drive all the game to the center. wher'
they can close round and dispatcl
them with spears and waddies. II
fowling they show the same adroit
ness. A native will swim under wa

Possibilities
Republican Party Leaders at Boise Spec
ulating on Political Futures.

A Boise dispatch in the SPokes-
man. Review of September 20 says
.be republicans of the Panhandle
or northern section of the state are
,esentful because governorship
plums have gone to the southern
section for years.
Thus far Captain E. G. Davis of
Boise is the only avowed aspirant
for the republican gubernatorial
uomin alton.
E. H. Dewey of Nampa, whom
party leaders had counted on as
one Of the strongest for guberna-
torial timber, has disappointed
4 them by announcing that he will
not be a candidate.
The Boise item says in part:
The panhandle will make a
strong bid for the governorship,
because it has been in the south
several terms. Governors Frank
R. Gooding, James H. Brady,
lanes H. Hawley, John M. Haines
and the present chiet executive,
Governor Moses Alexander, all
hail from southern Idaho. The
same is true of Ex-Governor John
T, Morrison, now resident oi
Boise.
In the past 10 or IL years the
south has had a corner on the
governorship, which the north is
inclined to resent, The result il
that there Is much grooming goinf
