Development Being Pushed in Pre-
paration for Mill in Spring.
From No. tunnel of the Ray -Jeffer-
son, in which a large amount of ore
has been exposed, a crosscut is being
run south which has cut a second vein
and is still being extended to reach a
third. Plans are also being considered
to make raise from No. 2 to No. /,
which will result in blocking out a
large amount of ore. In addition to
this work on the upper levels, tw9
shifts are working in a crosscut that
will open the Carlisle vein at an addi-
tional depth of 225 feet and a large
body of ore is expected when this is
completed, as it will encounter the
vein at the point of intersection with
the Ray Jefferson. When ultimately
extended this tunnel will open the
Ray jefferson at great depth.
The definite announcement that the
Ray Jefferson will erect mill at the
junction of Beaver and Carbon creeks
in the spring is generally accepted as
positive evidence that railroad will
be built on Beaver creek next year

CEDAR CREEK COMPANY
GOOD SHOWING OF ORE
LOWER cRosscUT HALF WAY, TO
vEIN-MUcH ORE IN THE
UPPER LEVELS.

In circular letter just issued to
the stockholders of the Cedar Creek
Mining & Development company, it is
stated that the lower crosscut tunnel
has now been extended 1925 feet, or
almost half the estimated distance to
the VEIN During the past month the
force has been largely engaged in out
side work preparing for winter, and
during the same period the track in
the lower tunnel has been replaced by
heavier rails. Supplies are now on
hand for the winter and everything is
in shape to concentrate all work in
extending the crosscut. An assess
ment of one cent has just been levied
which the management figures will
provide funds for all expenses up to
May / and one more similar assess
ment will carry the crosscut to the
vein, which will be cut at a depth of
100 feet The extensive showing of
ore in both the upper and intermedi-
ate tunnels gives assurance that ore
will be encountered when the vein is
reached
Ore in Upper Tunnels.
In the upper tunnel drift on the
vein shows ore of fair milling grade
for distance of between 300 and 400
feet. In the intermediate tunnel there
is ore for nearly 1000 feet, varying in
quantity but continuous. At one
place on this level there is II inches
Of clean shipping ore accompanied by
from to 4 feet of good milling ore.
A shaft has been sunk from this level
to a depth of 1876 feet, from which
$50 feet of drifting has been done
both east and west and both faces
show a good grade of ore, with con-
siderable of shipping grade.
The lower tunnel of the Cedar
Creek is only about a mile and halr
from the north side railroad at Raven
with which it is connected by good
wagon road.

JUDGE WOOD FINDS FOR THE PLAINTIFF
in ALAMEDA MINING CO. VS.. SUCCESS
HOLDS THAT FOLLOWED ORE ON ITS STRIKE AND
NOT ON ITS DP-AccouNTNG FOR ORE EXTRACTED
WILL COME UP AFTER APPEAL

In the district court last Tuesday
morning Judge Woods decided the ac-
tion brought by the Alameda Mining
company against the Success Mining
company in favor of the Alameda.
The plaintiff company alleged that the
defendant had trespassed upon its
ground and extracted ore to the value
of more than $4,000 and demanded an
accounting The Success company
admitted having entered upon the
Alameda ground and extracted ore,
but contended that in doing so they
were within their rights under the
apex law which permitted following
the ore on it's dip beyond the side
lines of the claim. BY stipulation the
question of extralateral rights was
made the issue of the trial, for obvi-
ously the question of trespass and re-
covery for ore extracted would be de-
pendent upon the determination of
that issue. In his decision Judge
Woods held that the Success company
in extracting ore from the Alameda
ground had followed the ore on its
strike and not on its dip, and was not
within its rights under the apex law
In support of this. view he cited his
decision in the Ontario Stewart case
which had been upheld by the United
States supreme court. The Success
company was given 30 days in which
to appeal from the decision, and the
court announced that no action would
be taken in the matter of accounting
for ores extracted pending action by
the higher court
Case Attracted Much Attention.
AS is usual in mining cases involv-
ing the ownership of valuable large
ore deposits which turn upon the de-
termination of extralateral rights, the
Alameda Success case was followed
with much interest by mining men |
during the two weeks it occupied the |
attention of the district court, and |
this will continue until it is finally |
disposed of by the higher courts, for,
while no announcement has been |
made, 1t is understood that the case
will be appealed.
The Alameda company was repre-
sented by John P. Gray, of Coeur
d'Alene, Walter III. Hanson and Their
rett Towles, both of this city. The
attorneys for the Success company
were J. F. Ailshie, former justice of
the Idaho supreme court, Harry Fl
Parson. of Missoula, and A. G. Kerns,
Of Wallace. The contesting compan-
les secured the services of expert ge-
ologists in support of their respective
contentious. Fred Green of Butte and
Fred Searles of San Francisco testi-
flying for the Alameda and Oscar Her
schy for the Success. In addition to
these a large number of mining engi-
neers were engaged on the case, al
together making an imposing array of
legal and mining expert talent

THE AMAZON MANHATTAN.
Work Resumed Property Owned by the
Interstate Callahan.

Work Resumed Pronerty Owned by the
Interstate Callahan.
Within the past few days work has
been started on the Amazon Manhat-
tam on Carbon creek, which Is owned
by the Interstate Callahan company
1t is understood that there is large
amount Of shipping ore available or
the property as well as considerable
already sacked which was left by
former leaser. More or less ore has
been shipped from the property before
1t was ACQUIRED by the Interstate Cal
lahan company but the purpose of the
present ownership In regard to ship
ments is not known. When the Inter
Callahan company purchased the
Amazon Manhattan it was believed
that the two properties would be con-
nected underground A few weeks ago
1t was announced that the company
had secured the Blue. Grouse group,
which lies between the Interstate-C CAL
lahan and the Amazon Manhattan and
joining both, from which 1t is surmised
that the work started on the last
named group contemplates connection
with the big zinc producer.

THE SONORA.

Progress Of Work in crosscut South
to Cooney Vein.
The crosscut that is being run south
on the Sonora has approximately 100
feet to go to reach the vein. The work
is being done under contract The
vein that is being sought is the east
ern extension of the Cooney and the
crosscut will encounter 1t at a depth
of about 1000 feet. The Cooney group
was recently bonded and Is now be-
ing developed by the Alcides Mining
company. The large cash payment
made on this property and the vigor-
GUS manner in which 1t is being de-
ment to the Sonora company in its
veloped gives substantial encourage
efforts to catch the vein to the east.

used by the Spokane chamber of COM
merce' in the publication of mining
directory covering the Coeur d'Alene
district, the state of Washington and
British Columbia. Mr.. Brainard's s
work shows that there are 465 active
mining companies in Shoshone coun-
ty, the figures including the opera
tions of ten groups of claims which
are not Incorporated. Over 1000 com
panies have been incorporated to en-
gage in mining in this county, which
includes companies organized under
the laws of other states. OF these
only 465 are now legally alive, the
others having forfeited their charters
sold out or voluntarily dissolved Since
1912 nearly 200 companies have for
feited their charters by failing to file
statements with the secretary of state
as required by the state law. Some
of these are still doing business, but
they have no legal status. These in

printer soon after the first of the
year. 1t will include all essential
facts regarding the organization OF
each company, location of property

TO FINANCE DOM PAUL
SELL TREASURY STOCK
PLAN TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO Ex.
TEND LONG cRosscUT-
MANAGERS LETTER.

The strong market for Dom Pau
stock has been a matter of consider
able comment during the past few
weeks, in view of the prospect of reg
ular assessments TO extend the long
crosscut that is being driven to ex-
plore the property at depth. Rumors
have been circulated, in explanation
of the advance in the price of the
stock, that a deal would soon be
closed involving the transfer of the
entire treasury stock of the company
which would provide funds to com
plete the crosscut and thus eliminate
assessments. While this report has
not been confirmed, it Is evident that
it had some basis of fact from the fol-
lowing circular letter issued by James
f. Mccarthy, manager of the Dom
Paul, under date of November 25:
The Letter.
"Since levying our last assessment
work has been continued on the cross
cut and very satisfactory progress
made. We commenced advancing the
heading on October IS, and from that
time to the end of the month advapc-
ed little more than 10 feet daily
During the first 10 days or two
weeks of this month"; our advance was
slower due to faulted. soft ground
which had to be timbered and made
progress difficult. We now seem to
have passed out of this formation and
are progressing at the rate of 10 feet
or more daily.
1--WE have recently made an effort
to find a sale for our 100000 shares
of treasury stock at 26 cents per
share and have some expectation of
making such a sale If individual stock
is not thrown on the market at low
er price
'1f we finally succeed in disposing
Of these shares at the price named, il
seems probable that not more than
one more assessment need be levied
on this stock to finish the work Of
crosscutting and several hundred feet
of drifting on the VEIN"

feet deep. the machinery embodying a
new hoist and compressor has been
delivered, the last load going up the
first of the week. Quite large quan-

In making foundations for the hoist
and compressor. Several cars of lum-
Der, most of which is said to be tagging

ORE FROM CASTLE ROCK
IS OF BETTER GRADE
STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN EAST
DRIFT-WEST DRIFT is
ABOUT THE SAME.

Samples of ore brought down from
the Castle Rock, on Placer creek, the
nrst of the week attracted much at
tention, and if the improvement con,
t1nues at the rate indicated by these
samples some of the wise ones who
nave been disposed to discount that
section will have to revise their judg-
ment and admit the error of their
way AS previously stated in this pa
per, after sinking the shaft 200 feet
and crosscutting to the vein, which
showed about feet of about per
cent copper ore, drifting was started
both east and west. In the west drift
the showing is about the same as
where the vein was encountered. The
ore Is continuous and no marked
change is anticipated until probably
an additional 100 feet has been driven,
about so feet now having been run
But tits the opinion of those who have
made a study Of the ground that the
main ore shoot will be found to the
west and this theory is supported by
the showing in the face of the drift
200 feet west from the main tunnel
The heavy outcrop to the west also
indicates the presence of
large ore body.
The East Drift.
Near the shaft there was a sort of
chimney Of high grade copper ore
from which a carload was shipped
soon after the present company took
over the property This chimney
rakes to the east and it is estimated
that it is about 1875 from the point
cut from the bottom of the shaft. To
reach this high grade ore is the pur-
pose of the drift east, which has now
been extended about so feet. The
1uality of the ore in this drift has
shown steady improvement and cor
increase in amount, at
lines the entire face being ore Of
good grade. The samples brought
lown this week show solid masses of
accompanied by quartz
md spathic iron, and it is estimated
hat the ore would assay 10 or 12 per |
cent copper. The increase in the
amount Of ore and the Improvement
n grade encourage the belief that
rich ore will be found and
/ large body of it within the next 7E
or 100 feet.
