ALCIDES.

The Alcides Mining company is
again on the active list, after consid-
erable delay in getting started from
the Gertie tunnel. There are two
branches of the vein interested by the
Gertie which come together about 700
feet east in the ground of the Alcides
company The north sbranch is being
followed, which shows little ore and
other favorable indications. One SHIFT
is being worked at present and an av-
erage of ~ feet is made per shift.
Power is furnished by the Gertie COM

AYPoTHEEk
Bottom of Shaft on 11oo Level Is in
MILLING Ore.

Mining Ore.
Reports received from the Hypo-
theek mine yesterday state that the
shaft that is being sunk on the vein
from the 100 level is down about 10
feet and that the entire bottom is in
ore of milling grade. This is a most
gratifying showing, as the vein was
barren when sinking started. The
shaft is following the foot wall Three
shifts are working and making about
three feet per day. 1t was necessary
to break quite a large amount of
ground to prepare a station to accom-
modate the hoist and galloWs frame
and provide dumping facilities. All
this has been accomplished since the
first of December The shaft will be
sunk 200 feet and then a crosscut will
be run to a point under the main
shaft, with which connection will be
made by raising. 1t is probable that
drifts will be run at 100 feet in order
to prospect the vein and prove the ore
shoot. The collar of this shaft Is 21S
feet from the main shaft.

ALAN EDA.

Crosscut Has Been Advanced More
Than Half the Distance.
The crosscut being driven by the
Alameda Mining company has been
extended about 500 feet, leaving APP
proximately 700 feet to go. The
ground is hard granite considering
which the work accomplished is con-
sidered good. The company has a well
equipped plant and is strong financial
ly. No late information has been CIV
en- out regarding the litigation be-
tween the Alameda and Success, and
it is assumed that the Alameda peo-
pie are preparing an appeal to the
federal court from the recent decision
of the Idaho supreme court

Echo Crosscut.

The Echo Mining company Of which
o. A. Olin is president, is driving a
crosscut south for the purpose of cut
ting the Dom Paul vein at depth of
800 feet. The Dom Paul crosscut
passes through the Echo ground, and
It is stated that having failed to To-
cate the vein, a raise is now being
made from that level which may
solve the riddle.

UNITED MINES CO.
lO0-.M|LL ON CORR|GAN
WILL BE UNWATERED AT ONCE
WILL DEVELOP TWO
OTHER GROUPS.

The organization of the United
Mines company few days ago marks
the initiation of plans for the devel-
opment of three groups under one
head one of which has already been
extensively developed and has a large
tonnage of ore available, while the
other two give promise of equally sat
lsfactory results. The Union Mines
company is successor to the Brown
Leasing company, which during the
summer and fall has been working the
Corrigan, which it held under a long
lease from the Federal company. The
Corrigan consists of so claims extend
ing from the BlackhaWk, at the head
OF Government gulch, practically to
Pine creek The Federal company did
large amount of work on the prop
erty years ago, driving several tun-
nels, sunk shaft 600 feet deep from
the bottom of which crosscuts and
driIts aggregate over a mile This
work resulted in disclosing a large
amount of ore, both lead and zinc. At
that time zinc was worth less so far
as the mines of this district were con
cerned, and its presence along with
the lead in the Corrigan rendered the
mining of that metal improbable al
so. Work was therefore suspended
and the shaft allowed to fill with wa
ter, and that has been it's condition
for years until last summer when the
Brown Leasing company took hold OF

Rainbow.

Employees of the Rainbow Mining
company, on the Little North Fork,
,ame out for Christmas and gave a
very encouraging report of the show
ing on the property. A drift is being
run under contract Shortly after be-
ginning work there was an abrupt
turn or break in the vein which was
rather puzzling. This has now swung
back to the regular course and for
some time little ore has been in the
face. This is regarded with much sat-
isfaction, as the management has not
expected ore until ground was reached
under the big outcrop

SILVER MOON.
A Little Ore Found as Drift Emerged
From the Dixie.


The showing at the Silver Moon is
described as decidedly encouraging.
Last Tuesday the drift had just pass
ed through the dixie which cuts OBJ
liquely across the vein, and although
the vein had not been clearly defined,
considerable galena was found as the
face broke throug gh the dixie. TIL drift
had been in the dixie for about S5 feet,
cutting it at an angle of about As de-
grees, although its acVal thickness is
about 25 feet. The presence of ore is
highly encouraging, although not un-
expected by the management, and the
result of the next few days work is
awaited with much interest.

MAMMOTH SOON TO SHIP
STRIKE ORE IN TUNNEL
FORMER SHIPMENTS GAVE GOOD
RETURNS-MAKE RAISE
IN ORE.

Herman j. Rossi returned yesterday
from the Mammoth mine near Bonita,
Mont, where he went to spend the
Christmas holiday with his friend,
julius Goodrich, who has charge of the
property. Mr.. Rossi is also interested
in the Mammoth, the control having
been purchased by a group of Occur
sdAIene men year or more ago
More recently Mr.. Goodrich, as the
representative of eastern men, was
placed in charge of the development
work and is meeting with most graft
flying success. The limited amount Of
development Of the Mammoth by the
original owners resulted in showing up
ore at several points on very strong
vein, but little was done in the way OF
permanent development. .>
Strikes Ore in Tunnel.
Upon taking charge of the property
Mr.. Goodrich started a tunnel to get
under shaft which had been sunk IN
ore by former owners. This tunnel
has now encountered the ore shoot at
a vertical depth of about 80 feet be-
low the shaft, or about 100 feet on the
dip of the vein. The plan now Is to
make raise to the shaft and begin
stoping the ore for shipment At the
same time it is proposed to retimber
another shaft about 500 feet further
I'D the hill from which two carloads
Of ore were shipped several years ago.
This ore gave an assay return OF from
% to SO per cent lead and from to d
ounces in silver. Shipments involve
haul of about Z miles to the railroad
at Bonita and the snow has made con-
ditions ideal for handling the ore. Mr..
Goodrich will leave this week for East
Helena, Pwhere he will effect arrange
ments with the smelter for the treat
ment of the ore. ,
Eventually lower tunnel viii be
driven on the Mammoth which Will
attain depth of about 500 feet in
distance of approximately 1900 feet
In the meantime it is probable that
shaft will be sunk 200 feet from the
present tunnel which would probably
make available a large amount OF
ore.

JACK WAITE.
Ore Is Being Delivered at the Railroad
at Rate of 15O Tons a Month.

The snow roads are a great benefit
to ore shippers who have to haul their
product to the railroad. over at the
Jack Waite as high as six tons have
been hauled at one load and the av-
erage Is about five tons. The company
is delivering ore at the railroad at the
rate of 15O tons per month. Two car
loads have been shipped and another
is ready to be moved tomorrow. There
is probably enough ore at the station
to load two more cars. The company
is experiencing some difficulty In get
ting cars, but is not disposed to blame
the railroad company which is using
every effort to provide cars without
delay.

WEALTH IN RIVER BED
PLANS TO RECOVER IT
SECURES EXTENSIVE RIGHTS
AND WILL BEGIN THE
WORK SOON.

More than year ago few local
men began making Investigations of
the bed of the Coeur d'Alene river be-
low Kingston to determine the min
eral values contained in the settings
of fine tailings from the mines. For
more than a quarter of a century the
process has been going on, the slug
gish stream below the Old Mission be-
Ing great settling tank for the fine
particles while the coarser tailings
generally find lodgment along the tur-
bulent upper stream or in dams con-
structed to catch them. Before the
tailings question became a serious
problem and-When there was high
percentage of loss from the mills,
there must have been great accum-
ulation of rich tailings in the river
channel and which is still there. In
later years dams have been put in to
protect the river channel and at the
same time great improvements have
been made in the recovery of the val
ues in the ore, SO that the wealth de-
positd in the river bed is now prob
ably small as compared with that of
former wears

Ore Shipments.

VIC SHlPIiCHlSs
During the summer and fall the
Brown company, which was compos-
ed of Theodore Brown, of Pine creek,
| S. A. Mccoy and other Spokane men,
shipped over 500 ions of ore taken
from what is known as the Curlew
tunnel. This ore was treated at the
Sweeny mill of the Federal company
The returns were not satisfactory ow-
ing to the fact that the mill was not
adapted to the recovery of zinc. To
overcome this difficulty the leasers
have now organized the United Mines
company, which will not only continue
working the Corrigan under lease, but
will expand it's operations to include
the Sunnyside group, joining the Lom-
brady, near Kellogg. and another group
of 10 claims Joining the Constitution
on the east. The immediate plans of
the company are to unwater the Cor
rigan shaft and place the old work
ings in shape for mining. 1t is stated
that these old workings opened up a
large amount of ore, both lead and
zinc, and that there is considerable
clean lead ore of shipping grade. If
the showing proves to be as good as
expected a mill of 100 tons capacity
will be erected early in the spring. II
is also announced that the company
has been financed to the extent of $40,-
900 to carry out these plans. This
amount has actually been subscribed
according to official information, 'and
needed. The purpose is to build mil
designed for the separation and recov-
cry of the lead and zinc, and with this
accomplished it is confidently expect
ed that the Corrigan will show hand,
some profit. Four men are now en-
ployed doing development in the Cur
lew tunnel and unwatering the shaft
will soon begin.
Other Property Purchased.
The Sunnyside and the group adj
Joining the Constitution were owned
by Kellogg people and have been pur'
chased outright by the United Mines
company. There are two distinc
veins on the Sunnyside which arr
probably identical with those of thu
Lombardy. A drift on one of thes'
has disclosed considerable ore, SOM
lead, but the best showing is copper
assays of the latter having been OBJ
tanned as high as rs per cent. Tw'
men are employed in the drift and al
indications point to encountering
: shoot of commercial ore in a shor
distance.
} Two men are also employed by tn
} United Mines company on the grou
Joining the Constitution. The vein o.
, this property shows a large iron out
, crop which is believed to be the ex
tension of the Constitution, and
r crosscut is being run to explore 1t a
depth.

Acquire Mining Rights.

The tests of the river bed proved so
satisfactory that the Independent De-
velopment company was organized for
the purpose of securing rights and
working the channel. Rights have now
been secured from land owners on
both sides of the river from Kingston
to Dudley, and the company expects
to begin operations in the spring. The
plan is simple one. Powerful suction
pumps will be placed on barges and
the fine settings from the bottom will
be elevated and subjected to the fota-
ton process for the recovery of all the
mineral values. The bottom of the
river has been sampled thoroughly
and the assays show lead values rang
ing from 2 to 6 per cent and an ounce
of silver for each percent of lead
The officers of the company are
George l.. Richardson, representative
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany in this district, president; w H.
Teel, vice president; DR.. w. A. Smith,
secretary treasurer. These with
James A. Wayne, Of this city, and s.
Alex Rosander, of Murray. constitute
/ the board of directors. The Tousley
& Ely company of Spokane, has un-
dertaken to finance the company and
their success in that direction justifies
the announcement that the project will
be carried out in the spring,

Patching the Aqueduct Bridge.

1t is announced that the Commits
sioners, in an effort to reduce the
vibration on the Aqueduct bridge,
have ordered the laying of a new
floor to replace the worn boards.
This is a good move, but it is purely
a palliative remedy, and its adoption
should stand as another argument for
early action by Congress in the re-
placement of the bridge with a new
one. The Commissioners are bent
upon adopting every possible expedi-
ent to keep the bridge in service,
even to the extent of limiting the
number of vehicles using it at one
time. They hope to tide over the
interval until new bridge is in
commission without closing the old
structure to traffic, which would very
seriously inconvenience great num-
Der of people. But if these devices,
which barely keep the bridge in serv-
ice, have the effect of maintaining the
illusion that the old bridge is good
enough it would be better to suspend
them altogether and close the struc-
ture not merely as precaution
against disaster, but as certain way
of bringing about legislative action:

The Fire-Stop Question.

Undoubtedly the sponsibility for
avoiding collision with fire appara-
tus at street intersections should rest
with the street railway companies,
and this principle should prevail in
any consideration of the proposed
change from the compulsory stop
rule The fire apparatus has first
right OF way over the streets, and
it should not be hampered in any de-
gree by the necessity of checking to
avoid traffic, and particularly such po-
tentially dangerous traffic as street
cars. The efficiency of the appara-
tus depends upon the speed with
which it is placed at the fire point,
and to this end it must be sent
through the streets as rapidly as it
is possible for the horses or the
motors to go. Careful driving for the
sake of avoiding collisions at street
corners means loss of time. The
heavy apparatus cannot be checked
and started again without adding pre-
cious minutes in the course of long
run, minutes that may mean the diff
ference between a trifling fire and a
blaze of magnitude.
If tho street railway can assume
