BOSS ZINC COMPANY
TAKEN UNDER OPTION
PLANS COMPLETED FOR DEvEL-
OPMENT OF sLEAD-ZlNC
PROPERTY.

Lieb Brothers, investment brokers
of this city, have secured an
option on the control of the Boss Zinc
Mining company and have completed
financial arrangements which will in
sure the immediate development of
the property The plans contemplate
the installation of a compressor and
the extension of the power line of the
Washington Water Power company to
the property The Boss Zinc group
consists of four claims and two frac-
tions located on the east fork of Two
Mile creek and about three miles from
the railroad at Osburn. 1t is reached
by a good wagon road The ground IS
traversed by three we'll defined leads,
parallel and from 200 to 800 feet apart.
Each shows a heavy iron Gaping
characteristic of the producing mines
of the district and the formation is
quartzte. The limited development
work on the property is confined to
the middle vein, and the showing dis
closed justifies the expectation enter
tanned by the promoters that a large
and valuable body of lead-znc- silver
ore will be opened at an early date.
The Present Showing.
The tunnel in which the only under
ground showing is made followed q
streak of tale which was believed to
be the vein. At about 200 feet a
stringer Of ore was cut running in a
northerly and southerly direction, and
this was followed for probably $50
feet, varying in width from a few
inches to two feet of lead-zinc ore. A
shaft has been sunk about Is feet on
this ore which showed considerable
Improvement in that short distance.
Two assays from the drift and shaft
gave the following results: The first
gave 4.S ounces silver, So per cent lead
and 26.5 per cent zinc. The second
gave So ounces silver, 1873 per cent
| l6du anu GO,l per cent LlllC'
A drift has since been started on
the opposite side of the tunnel or in a
northerly direction, which has expos
ed about two feet of ledge matter
with two divergent stringers of ore. il
is believed now that the original tun-
mel was run south of and parallel tC
the vein and that by extending the
drift north it will be encountered in {
short distance. If this proves correc
the plan of the new management is t
drift east on the vein which will gair
depth rapidly with the chances favor

ore.

THE HYPOTHEEK MILL
TO START NEXT WEEK
NEARLY FINISHED AND MINE is
IN READINESS TO FURNISH
THE ORE.

The Hypotheek will soon be added
to the list of producers. 1t has been
a long road, beset with many Difficult
ties, but all these have been overcome
and if plans work out as expected the
new mill will be turning out concen-
trates next week. The mill is now
practically completed. The machin-
cry is in position and the work that
is now in hand is mainly the placing
and adjusting Of shafts, pulleys and
belts and the construction of a sort
ing belt. A flume is also under con-
struction to convey water for milling
purposes. All this will be rounded up
in the next few days, and by the mid
die of the week the mill will make its
trial run.

stalled and works to perfection, states

REX CONSOLIDATED Co.
HAS ORE IN TWO VEINS
TWO AND A HALF FEET OF HIGH
GRADE IN oKANoGAN-7 FEET
MILLING ORE I'M REX.

Later information regarding the
recent developments in the Rex
indicate that they are of greater
Importance than was indicated by the
account published in the last issue of
The Miner. In conversation with
Manager M. ]. Sweeny last Tuesday
he gave more details of the strike IN
the Okanogan vein, which was en-
countered AGO feet south of the Rex
vein in crosscut driven on the 2O0-
foot level. The two veins are parallel
and the strike is regarded as the most
important achievement since the pro-
perty was taken over by the consoil-
dated company. Mr.. Sweeny states
that at the point of intersection there
is 21h feet Of clean shipping ore and
about an equal amount of good mill
ing grade. Since striking it a drift
has been run about 70 feet, in which
the showing is practically the same.
ON the same level the Rex vein is
also showing up in a most satisfact-
ory manner. The vein has been cross
cut and shows about feet of good
milling ore and drifting has exposed
the same showing for over 100 feet.
The ore in this vein is both lead and
zinc. In the Okanogan vein the ore Is
all lead, the shipping grade running
from 35 to 40 per cent 1t is announc-
ed that arrangements will be made to
begin shipping the high grade at an
early date, and also repair the tram
way with the view to taking over the
mill now used by the Tamarack d
Custer to handle the lower grade ore
from both the Rex and Okanogan
veins.

SILVER STAR.LUCKY BOY
WORKING AGREEMENT
ARRANGEMENTS EFFECTED BY
WHICH BOTH COMPANIES
WILL RESUME.

The directors of the Silver Star
Mining company and the Lucky Boy
Mining company held special meet
ings in this city last Thursday even
ing and entered into AN agreement for
their mutual advantage and which will
result in an early resumption of op-
erations by both companies. Both
companies own promising groups of
claims on Gentle Annie gulch above
Mullan. Under the terms of the
agreement the Silver Star ocm-
pany gives the Lucky Boy an
easement through No. / tunnel which
will enable the latter company to ex-
plore its ground at a depth of several
hundred feet In considera ton of the
easement the Lucky Boy company
will build blacksmith shop at the
portal of the Silver Star tunnel large
enough for the use of both compan
les; also the Lucky Boy company Will
equip the Silver Star com l-sny with
air pipe, install a water blast for ven
lilating, for which there is an abund-
ance of water in the gulch, extend the
north crosscut from the Silver Star
tunnel across the Silver Star into the
Lucky Boy ground, furnish the track
necessary for the work, and also ex-
tend the air pipe the entire distance,
the tunnel and crosscut to be used
jointly.
Both Companies to Begin Work.
The Lucky Boy company has COM
pleted arrangements to begin work at
once and the property will be vigor-
ously developed. The Silver Star
company has levied an assessment of
two mills and will begin active oper-
ations at an early date. Both com
panies report very encouraging show
ings as results of former development
and confidently expect rapid improve
ment under the working arrangements
just effected.

to have "A property under development

the property as having one of the

THE IDAHO STANDARD
new NINE MILE CO.
GROUND OWNED BY MARSHALL
LOOKS LIKE MAKING OF A
BIG MINE.

When A. D. Marshall thinks enough
of a group of claims to hold them
for a long period of years and develop
them by his own labor to the extent of
his ability, it may be safely assumed
that they possess some merit and full
ly warrant the expenditure of capitai
for their exploration. He has mined
in many camps and has been superin
tendent of some of the famous mines
of the Coeur d'Alene district, and
while he can not see any further into
the ground than anybody else, his ex-
perience certainly entities his judg
ment to respect in matters pertaining
to the development of mining prop
erty. This comment is suggested by
the fact that Mr.. Marshall has just
completed the organization of COM
pany to take over 8 claims he has
owned for a good many years on Black
Cloud gulch, a tributary of Nine Mile,
and about 2A miles from this city,
The company is called the Idaho
Standard Mining company and is in
corporated under the laws of WASH
ington. The officers of the company
are: A. d. Marshall, president e. H..
Becker vice president; ]. L. Spang-
Ter, secretary and treasurer who
with 7. ONO and c. w. Peterson,
constitute the board of directors. All
of the officers and directors except
Mr.. Marshall are residents of Spo-
kane Arrangements have been COM
pleted to finance the company through
the sale of treasury stock, and $4,000
has already been realized from that
source to begin work on the property.
Showing on the Property.
Very little work has been done to-
ward the development, but this little
has shown highly encouraging results
The group lies on both sides of the
gulch and covers vein parallel to the
Black Cloud California. On the north
side No. tunnel has been
run which cuts the vein at a depth OF
probably 300 feet and discloses a small
shoot of ore that assays A per cent
lead and AZ ounces of silver Nothing
has been done to determine the eX-
tent of this ore. On the opposite side
of the gulch and a short distance
above the creek the ledge has beer
crosscut showing it to be upwards o.
60 feet, wide and strongly mineralizet
throughout. Along the foot wal
through which the vein was cut there
is a streak largely tale from which
lead and silver values aggregating s.
per ton were obtained. Nothing ha
been done here beyond prosecuting
the vein.
Will Begin Work at Once.
1t is proposed to begin work on tn,
property at once under the persona
supervision of Mr.. Marshall, AM
within few days it Is expected al
preliminary arrangements will hav
been completed. 1t is proposed t
continue development in both tunnels
