McBreen. The purpose of the com
pany is to take over and operate the
group of claims formerly owned by the
orofno Mining company, few miles
above Murray, and the purchase OF the
eleven claims will include trackage,
ore cars and other equipment on the
ground. The deed to the property,
which was sold last June by the re-
cever, is held in escrow by the Spo-
Kane Il Eastern Trust company and "A
circular letter from Mr.. Morton, of the
new company, states that the hrst
payment of $500 has been made. The
circular letter is addressed to the old
stockholders of the Orofino company
and invites them to subscribe for stock
in the. new company to the extent of
their holdings in the old at the rate

the defunct Orofino- -BearTop company
and has been idle for three or four
wears, but it is we'll constructed and
has a fine equipment of machinery.

BUSY AT sNoWsToRM.
Hydro Electric installation Will Soon
Be Completed.


Excellent progress is being made at
the Snowstorm property in Montana,
according to reports from Mr. Green
ough general manager. A scarcity or
common labor has retarded the work
somewhat but this has been overcome
and the installation of the hydro
electric power will soon be completed.
The pole line for transmission is now
under construction.
"Despite a scarcity Of common labor
we have succeeded in building up a
working force that is carrying our con-
struction along to finish in good
time" stated Mr.. Greenough on his re-
turn from Troy few days ago. our
HYDRO electric installation is well un-
der way, as we have always been able
to secure plenty of skilled labor, and
we are now building our pole line for
power transmission.
"I have been over at Wolf creek

WORK STARTS ON THE
EXCELSIOR Low TUNNEL
BURKE PROPERTY HAS 800 FEET
TO DRIVE TO CUT LEAD AT
GREAT DEPTH.

Reports from the property of the
Excelsior Mining company, located
above Burke, are to the effect that sup
plies and equipment were taken to the
mine this week and work started on
the lower crosscut tunnel which Will
reach the vein in 800 feet, according
to recent surveys. The tunnel is now
in 800 feet and at 100 feet will give
approximately 500 feet of depth be-
meath the surface showing. The Ex-
celsior is in the same locality as the
well known Old Veteran property,
Great Western and Champion and has
most favorable indications for develop
ing into another producer for the
Burke district.
Among the local stockholders are
Chas. McKinnis, c. Fred Kratzer
Thomas Ryan, G. W. Shield, c. X
Taylor, Geo. Edmiston and other Wal
lace and Burke parties. Thomas Ryan
is president of the corporation and
Chas. Criswell, secretary.
The company has reserve of 100000
shares of treasury stock and plans are
being formulated to finance the pro-
perty and continue steady develop
ment until the vein is intercepted on
| this level.
A large consignment of tools, sup
plies and equipment went to the mine
Tuesday and the lower tunnel start
ed ahead Immediately. The mine is
easily accessible, a short distance
above Burke and has good wagon road
connection with the railroad.

SENSATIONAL STRIKE
ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
RICH CARBoNATES UNCOVERED
IN cRoSScUT-GREAT
PROMISE.

What is regarded as the most sem
sational strike made in the Pine creek
district Of the Coeur dAlenes during
the year was reported from the pro-
perty owned by the Lookout M. & NJ
company this week when the
miners driving the @crosscut tunnel
broke into the vein and uncovered a
| showing of carbonates and lead crys-
tails that rivaled the glittering deposits
found in the old Tyler and Stemwinder
properties of the early days of Yreka
district history. The ore was found
in a ledge measuring eleven feet in
width, in a quartzite formation and a
| fissure that cuts the formation in an
easterly direction. Associated with
the crystalized lead in the vein was a
sand carbonate, the first reported
found in that part of the district since
in the upper levels. Assays on the
ore show better than so per cent in
lead and from 10 to 20 ounces silver,
while picked specimens would carry
much higher values. No zinc appears
in the vein.
The strike was made some distance
beneath the surface cropping where a
carbonate formation was uncovered in
open cut work, revealing an extensive
ledge, heavily mineralized. A tunnel
so feet long, was driven beneath this
showing and in the crosscut to the
vein the ore was disclosed A number
of mining men have visited the strike
during the week and all report 1T to
be one of the big finds of the season
and one that gives promise of develop
ing into a producer of high grade ore
as soon as sufficient depth can be had
on the deposit.
The Lookout Mountain company
owns a group of nine claims, opposite
the Beeler postoffice, part of the COM
kpanys holdings taking in the creek
and running up over the ridge. The
Liberal King group joins the property
on the north. The property is con-
trolled by Kellogg residents among
whom are w. L. Penney, r. L. Brain
ard, William and Frank Boro VIM.
Roach and others. Fred w. Gala
way, well known engineer, has been
in charge of the engineering work with
]. j. Love as superintendent.
The company now plans immediate
operations in lower tunnel which will
cut the ore body at depth Of over
200 feet. This can be accomplished by
about $50 feet of crosscut work and
at this depth the management ex-
poets to uncover the ore in commercial
quantities and soon be in position
for shipping operations.
The corporation is capitalized for
$4,000 and the directors expect to put
through the proposed work by the sale
of treasury stock.

NORTH BUNKER HILL.
Wardner Property Reports Excellent
Showing in Drift.

Tn a letter to the stockholders this
week the directors of the North Bun
ker Hill Mining company, operating
at Wardner, report an excellent show
ing in the vein, drifting on which is
now under way to reach point be-
meath the upper workings where values
in lead silver and copper were found.
The letter states that approximately
100 feet of drifting will be necessary
to reach the ore showing found above
but that from present Indications the
ore may be encountered before that
point is reached, the vein being heav-
lily mineralized ct the present time.
The crosscut tunnel, driven over
5000 feet, cut the vein at point where
it showed a width Of eight feet, car
rying iron carbonates and over a foot
Of blue tale. In the opinion of e. G.
Gnaedinger, engineer in charge of the
work, the vein found is continua :
tion of the Caledonia lead, the dip,
strike and general character being
very similar to that lead which adjoins
the North Bunker Hill on the west.
The work is going ahead rapidly at
the present time from 3 to 5 feet per
day being made by the one shift. An
assessment of two mills was levied by
the directors last week and additional
contracts let to Chas. Rice to carry
on the drift until the ore was cut be-
meath the shaft.

HYPoTH EEK.
Ten Cars of Ore to Smelter During
Month of August.

Ten Cars of Ore to Smelter During
Month of August.
Ten cars of ore to the smelter will
be the record for the Hypotheek dur
ing the month of August, four of
which were crude ore and six concen-
trates This will yield a net profit to
the company of $4,000, according to
Manager Otto OLSON. The total op-
Grating expenses at the mine are now
about $1,000 per month.
The mill is treating an average of
IT'S tons per day. Crude ore to the
extent of four tons daily is picked off
the sorting belt and the mill is turning
out better than Is tons daily of con-
centrates. The crude ore is averaging
in carload lots about n per cent In
lead and 10 ounces in silver to the
ton, worth approximately $50 ton
net smelter returns. The concentrates
have ranged in value from 60 to 6S
per cent in lead, about Is ounces in
silver and SIS per ton in gold, netting
about $73 per ton.
The physical condition of the mine
ia continually improving and the man
agement is steadily adding to the ore
reserves. With the metal markets or
the upward climb Hypotheek returns
from the smelter will show even better
results for the next month.
