THE OLD VETERAN.

Much interest is now centered in
the Old Veteran, a property above
Burke, on Military gulch, a property
that is being developed strictly upon a
fixed basis of assessment. A second
shift has just been added to the force
and good progress is now being made
in extending the crosscut which will
cut the vein at depth which is ex-
pected to disclose commercial ore. The
outcrop and upper workings of the
could hardly be more favor
able, and in fact considerable carbon
ate ore has been found in the upper
tunnel.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-03-09

IF the board should decide to try
still further to make this enterprise a
success, this seems to me to be the
plan TO follow:
start the mill two shifts as early
as possible. This means the purchase
Of additional mill supplies, another
locomotive, and about 20 additional ore
cars. TO cost say $1,000 With cop
per at its present price we can prob
ably make the income at least equal
operating costs. Prepare to sink to
the 400 and eventually to the 1900
foot levels. This means the carrying
Of electric power underground approx
imately one mile and the installation
of hosting and pumping equipment for
the development just mentioned.
''The cost Of this extra equipment
and its installation will require about
800 900 of new funds, in addition to
the $1,000 just mentioned to enable US
to operate two shifts daily at the mill.
IF the development is undertaken
and should disclose good ore in guam
tity, a crosscut tunnel from approxim-
ately the mill level, a length of 5000
feet would have to be driven at cost
of $4,000
Il think an early decision should be
reached by the board concerning these
matters"

BLACK BEAR OPTION
FORFEITED BY REX
BERNlER ADVISES
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEW
DEAL is PENDING.

The option held by the Rex Consoi-
idated Mining company upon major
ity of the stock of the Black Bear Con-
soidated company has been forfeited
and the Black Bear company is now
negotiating with other capitalists for
the transfer of the property. This in
formation is conveyed to the stock
holders of the Black Bear in a circu-
lar letter issued by Peter Bernier,
president of the company, under date
of March /. In this letter Mr.. Ber-
nier says:
Rex Failed to Come Through.
Since my letter of February 2 the
Rex Consolidated Mining company,
which held an option to purchase con-
troll of the Black Bear stock, has fail
ed to comply with the terms of their
contract and the option has been fin
ally cancelled Negotiations were
carried on during the month of Feb
ruary with a view of reaching an
agreement whereby the contract would
be carried out along lines similar to
those contained in the original agree
ment, but the propositions advanced
by the Rex company were so plainly
dilatory that it was impossible for the
Black Bear company to further nego-
tate with them and an endeavor will
now be made to interest other capital
which has signifed it's desire to nego-
tiate with the company for its prop
erty. 1t was very evident that the
Rex Consolidated company did not
have sufficient funds with which to
carry out their agreement and after
practically accepting their last pro-
posal by making counter proposition
which would place sufficient funds in
the treasury to insure immediate op-
Grafton of the Black Bear property,
the proposition fell flat and no reply
was received from them.
"At the present time the Black Bear
company is out of debt from the funds
derived from the initial payment of
@1V,uVu IlduS ny the HEX company
which they have now forfeited, and
any funds received from any other
contracts which may be made with be
available for immediate development
other parties with sufficient capital
to bring about quick results have been
waiting to learn the final outcome of
the Rex deal to start negotiations for
themselves and new negotiations are
now under way to secure the funds
with which to start operations during
the high price of metals and it is more
than likely that new proposition
will be in shape to be submitted to the
stockholders within a very short time.
In the meantime the stockholders are
urgently requested to leave their stock
in the bank here, at least for reason
able time, in order that in the event of
4 new option being given no unneces-
Sary delay, such as was experienced in
escrowing the stock under the Rex
deal, will be experienced /"

MAMMOTH MINING Co.
GIVES OPTION ON STOCK
DEAL INsUREs THE NECESSARY
FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF PROPERTY.

| An important meeting of the direct
ors of the Mammoth Mining company
was held in this city last Saturday
evening, when an option was given on
a large block of the treasury stock
and considerable portion of the per-
sonal stock of the company. The pur-
pose of this deal was to place the
company on a sound financial basis
which will insure an early resumption
of work which is expected to place the
property in the profit earning class.
officers of the company decline for the
present to disclose the name of the
party taking the option, or to give
the terms beyond the statement that
the otpion runs for nine months with
stated payments to be made in three,
six and nine months, and that failure
to make the payments as stipulated
will forfeit the option.
Property of Proved Merit.
The Mammoth group of claims Is To-
Gated near Bonita, Mont, about
miles from the railroad with which it
Is connected with good wagon road.
It was secured under bond by George
Austin, of this city, and he was joined

up the bond Favorable reports were
made on the property by Sidney L.

the terms and payments will result in
forfeiture of the lease and bond
1t is expected that work will begin
on the Douglas on the 18th, although
it is possible a reasonable extension
of time might be granted by the Doug
las directors if weather conditions in
terfere.
The Douglas.
The Douglas Mining company owns
seven claims and three fractions on
Pine creek, all patented and about 8
miles from the railroad. Development
in three tunnels has disclosed an ex-
tensive ore shoot, in the lower tunnel
the shoot being continuous for 500
feet and varying in width from to 20
feet. The ore Is combination of zinc
and lead giving an average assay of
about rs per cent zinc, IL per cent
lead and ounces silver. Thorough
tests of treating the ore have been
made at the electrolytic experimental
plant of the Anaconda company and
which proved satisfactory in every re-
spect. With the large amount of ore
actually in sight and the reasonable
certainty of disclosing continuation
of the large ore body in increasing
quantity and improved quality, ana
the question of successful treatment
settled beyond question, it appears to
be practically assured that the Ana
conda will make the payments on or
before the dates they fall due.

will consist of Waldorf salad, hot
rolls, maccaroni and cheese, June
peas, fresh beets, pickles, cake, am
brosia, coffee, tea and several other

Rev. T. F. Hendon, efficiency secre-
tary of the Baptist State Board of
Missions, closed weeks meetings at
the Baptist church on Sunday night
and unless we greatly mistake mat
teis. has left that institution in a
much better condition for effec
work during the years to come. His
discourses have been largely along
the line of systematic, regular giving
for the various church benevolenceS,
and looking to thorough working or
ganization of the church membership.
The church has business, as well as
spiritual side, and unless the for
mer is cultivated properly it will be
weak force spiritually. These are
matters which the pastor has been
working upon since his coming here
last spring with so much of success
that the Baptist church even now has
the largest membership roll of any
church in the place. DR.. Hendon, who
is an authority on organized church
effort, has simply come along and sec
onded the motion of the pastor, Rev
R. L. Bonsteel. The meetings du-
ing the week were we'll attended,
many from the other congregations
being present and absorbing the GO
points in the discourses.
