The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-07-13

The Miner has at various times dur
ing the past year called attention to
the growing Importance of the Beaver
creek and Sunset section and the me-
eessity of securing direct railroad
connection with it in order to main
tain the prestige of this city as bus
mess center Although efforts In this
direction have up to date been barren
Of tangible results, the matter is of
such vital Importance to this city
that it is again called to the atten-
tion of the business men in the hope
that some action win be taken. Pos
slbly the people of Wallace do not
grasp the possibilities of mineral pro-
duction on the Beaver creek side OF
Sunset, The fact that a 400-ton mill
Is just being completed over there to
handle the ores of a mine that will
employ probably 200 or 800 men does
not seem to impress them. Neither
does the generally accepted fact that
the O.-W. r. & N will build branch
up Beaver creek from the North Fork
seem to arouse them from the secur-
ity that has grown upon them during
the many years that business has
drifted to them almost without effort
on their part. And while they rest in
apparent security one of the largest
tributary mines is actually executing
a plan of operation that will transfer
its outlet to Beaver creek, divert its
ores to a mill to be erected on the
North Fork at Enaville and transfer
its army of employees from Nine Mile
to Carbon. The outlet for the Sunset
mine will be on Beaver creek, and 1t
la known that another strong COM
pany is quietly getting control OF the
most valuable claims in that locality
and when this is accomplished oper-
atoms will begin on a large scale
which will certainly result in opening
1ne of the largest mines in the dis
,rict. These are few of the biggest
and most prominent enterprises now
lnder way, but there Is vast amount
If development going on over there,
some of which may prove as extern
'ive as any of these referred to-

May Soon Be a Producer.

The story of the Union is of un-
usual interest. Abandoned years ago
by a group of the most successful op-
orators, after expending a large sum
in an effort to develop a paying ore
body, it was taken over under a lease
and bond less than year ago by men
who were willing to take a chance in
spite of the failure of former opera :
tors. Obtaining working privileges
in tunnel on adjoining ground, they
extended a crosscut which encoun-
tered the ore shoot after running not
more than $50 feet in their own
ground. That it will be found In the
lower workings does not admit of
doubt and following the rule that
prevails in other productive mines of
the district, it win prove larger and
richer as depth is gained.

MILL IMPROVEMENTS
BY SUCCESS COMPANY
NEW ROLLS AND FILTER PRESS
INSTALLED-cUTTING STA
TlON ON THE 1900.

A new set of rolls has recently been
placed in the Success mill, taking the
place of crusher that was of too
small capacity and too light to meet
the requirements. The capacity Of
the new rolls is 500 tons per day
which will enable the mill to run at
its maximum capacity of 300 tons,
which it could not do with the former
crushing facilities
Another Improvement in the Success
mill which w:r probably be in opera
tion by the end of this week is the
installation of filter press. This viii
result in reducing the moisture In the
shines from about 1S per cent to or
8 per cent, thus making a substantial
reduction in freight charges. Nhese
Improvements are in line with the
general policy Of economy anil eff
cheney that is being enforced in all
departments of the mine and mill, and
company to operate profitab1y under
any probable condition of the spelter
market.
Condition of the Mine.
In conversation with General Mana
ger P. J. Gearon, he expressed much
satisfaction with the condition of the
mine as. well as the changes and i'm
provements that have been made in
the mill. A station is now being cut
on the 1400 level, and it is expected
that prosecuting from the station will
expose showing of ore fully equal
to that on the 1900, which is described
as exceptionally good Altogether the
situation at the Success appears to be
in all respects satisfactory, and IL
there is any anxiety regarding the fu-
ture of the property 1t is not ap-
parent
The regular monthly dividend Of
cents per share win be paid on the
25th, amounting to $4,000. This pay
ment will bring the total dividends for
the year 1916 up to $345,000. 1t Is as
sumed that the July dividends repre-
sents the earnings for June and that
the mill improvements and a main
tenance Of the present ore showing will
enable the company to continue this
and possibly increase It.

PRODUCTION OF HECLA
INCREASED 50 PER CENT
FEDERAL MILL RUNNING ONE 12
HOUR sHlFT-oUTLook FOR
LEAD is BRIGHT.

In announcing to the stockholders
of the Hecla Mining company that he
had secured a lease of the Federal
mill and outlining what was expected
to be accomplished by the increased
milling facilities, Manager James F.
Mccarthy said:
I'VE have recently leased from the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
a concentrator located at Wallace, and
having a capacity of 400 to 450 tons
per day. This is approximately the
same capacity as our own mill. We
took possession on June and hope
to have 1t running by June II.
Our intention is to operate this
mill one shift of hours per day,
which will increase our milling ca
pacity 125 to $50 tons per day, and to
further increase this output as quick
ly and to whatever extent our facili-
ties at the mine will permit We hope
eventually to increase our production
so per cent above our present rate"
Milling 700 Tons per Day.
While no further announcement has
been made by the management since
taking over the Federal mill, it is
learned that the hope expressed in re-
gard to increasing the company's out
put so per cent over the former rate
of hoe
Starting with one eight hour shift, the
running time at the Federal mill this
week increased to one II hour shift.
This means that approximately 225
tons of ore per day is being handled
at the Federal mill, which added to
the capacity of 400 or 450 tons of the
Hecla mill at Gem brings tile total
milling capacity close to If not 700 tons
per day. In addition to this the COM
pany makes quite heavy shipments of
crude ore. The mine is reported in
condition to meet this increased mill
ing capacity with ease and for an in
definite period.
July Dividend is Cents.
Announcement has been made that
the dividend payable July 20 will be
Is cents per share, amounting to $780,
900. The increased output together
with the continuance of the high price
of lead suggests that an even higher
dividend rate is probable in the near
future Lead has dropped to $3.50, but
it is not believed that it will reach a
low level The price of lead was not |
affected to the extent of zinc and cop
per by the war demand, and the high |
price has been maintained to q greater
extent through the ordinary Industrial |
demands. The cessation of hostilities
may therefore increase rather than de-
crease the demand for lead, and since

through the various departments. He
was therefore not a stranger to the
work that confronted him when he
took his seat in the lower house. His
service since that time has matured
his judgment, increased his influence
in the capital and added to his eff
cheney, facts which fortunately seem
to be fully recognized and appreciat-
ed by the people of Idaho. 1t will be

The enthusiastic interest that has
been created throughout the county
in good roads has already accom-
Iplished excellent results and will con-
tinue to improve the highways, and
the benefits will be shared by every
citizen of the county. But the people
To- Wallace seem slow to realize the
fact that they are confronted with
situation which renders the construc-
tion of short branch railroad of
even more vital interest to them than
the improvement of wagon roads. Not
that their interest should be abated
in the least toward the latter, but
rather that they should display the
same zeal in securing the former. The
location of Wallace has made 1t the
commercial center of the Coeur
d'Alene district. Nature has contrib
uted much to the growth and prosper
ity of the city, but nature has also
created mountain barriers which must
be overcome If the growth and busi-
ness expansion of the city Is to con-
tinue. 1t is not enough that these
barriers are overcome by good wagon
and automobile roads, the city must
depend upon railroad transportation
for the heavy freight and passenger
traffic in order to build up and sup
port prosperous and growing bust
ness community.

WILSON COMPANY.
Property Near Saltese Makes Fine
Showing in Copper and Lead.

property Near Saltese Makes Fine
Showing in Copper and Lead.
G. w. Dougherty, secretary of the
Wilson Mining & Smelling company
visited Salteese this week and reports
most encouraging results from recent
work on the company's property on
Silver creek, about three miles from
Saltese. The company has two ad-
joining groups of claims, one having
a copper bearing vein and the other
lead. Work at present Is confined to
the copper, and drift Is being run
from Silver creek where the ledge is
exposed. The copper values appear to
be leached out near the surface and
1t Is believed that short drift will ex-
pose good ore. This is about 500 feet
below the upper tunnel. The COM
pany plans to begin work on the lead
property soon. Commercial ore has
been found in an upper tunnel, and
the extension of tunnel 300 feet be-
low will cut the vein in about 200 feet.
William Burke is manager of the pro-
perty.

EXTEND UNION TUNNEL
INSTALL COMPRESSOR
ORE SHOOT EXPLORED OVER 200
FEET IN UPPER TUNNEL
WAGON ROAD.

Definite plans for the exploration of
the Union, which is under bond and
lease to the Sherman Development
company. have been decided upon and
preliminary work was begun yester-
day toward carrying them out. Work
was suspended a few days ago in the
drifts from the Oreano crosscut, the
work there and on the surface hav-
ing proved an extensive ore shoot
and work now will be directed to
opening it up at depth. The strike in
the crosscut run from the Oreano
made few months ago has proven
to be one of great Importance. Drifts
have been run east and west aggre-
eating over 200 feet, showing con-
tinuous shoot of shipping ore
varying In width from or inches
to feet, accompanied by large
amount of milling ore. The vein is ~
or Is feet wide Since striking this
ore much attention has been given to
tracing and prospecting the vein on
the surface, all of which tend to prove
that the Union will prove to be
great mine
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-07-13


In order to explore the vein at depth
work will begin at once in tunnel
run by the old Union company start
ing on the Bullion claim, 450 feet ver-
tically below the Oreano crosscut and
900 feet below the outcrop. This tun-
mel has been run about 1900 feet and
the face is in about 1900 feet east of
the ore above described. There Is a
little ore in the face of this tunnel,
and observations made on the surface
and in the old workings indicate that
ore in commercial quantities may be
encountered at any time when 1t is
extended. This tunnel is about 500
feet above what is known as the Hid
den Treasure tunnel, the portal of
which is just back of the old Tiger
shaft Yesterday Rush j. White be-
gan the survey of wagon road from
point below Burke to the tunnel and
the road will be constructed as rap
idly as possible. When this is COM
pleted a compressor driven by cleo
