Good HIGHWAY to the Mines.

At banquet given last week by the
Occur dAlene commercial club Stanly
A. Easton, manager of the Bunker Hill
a. Sullivan Mining company, responded
to the toast, "Interrelations of the
Occur d'Alenes to Occur d'Alene CITY,
According to the press report, he told
of the one way in which the people of
kootenai county can expect to derive
direct and material benefit from the
immense amount of money produced
in the mining district. A road fit for
travel during all seasons of the year
possible between Occur d'Alene and
Kellogg will, according to Mr.. Easton,
bring the mining people and their
money to this city particularly during
the summer months.

Mr.. Baston. with all respect to the
scenery and advantages of that place,
Rose Lake is nothing more than a mud

The speaker told of the mining in
dustry in Kellogg. There are 1900 men
at work in Kellogg and they work all
the year around, Theirs is not sea-
sonable occupation such as numbering
or agriculture. The payroll up there
amounts now to 100000 a month and
with the profit sharing bonus plan re-
Gently inaugurated this will be increas-
ed from Is to Is per cent month,
"The Bunker Hill e. Sullivan has
during the period since its discovery |
produced $75,00O,O00. OF that amount
$SS,000,00O has been spent for smelling
and other operations. About $4,000
600 has been spent for operations in
the state of Idaho. Dividends to the
amount of $l70OO,OOO have been de-
clared"

THE OREANo,

The crosscut that is being run from
NO. tunnel of the Oreano to cut the
Union vein is reported to have en-
countered stringers of galena in the
quartzite which indicates that anoth.
er vein may be encountered on the
Oreano ground. The crosscut had
been advanced about IS feet when
these stringers appeared, leaving
about 65 feet to go to the Oreano side
line. There is evidence of vein on
the surface which would be expected
about where the crosscut is now run
ming
Thls crosscut is being run by Axel
Swan to reach the Union vein. upon
which fine showing of carbonate ore
was disclosed few weeks ago. Mr..
swan has the Union under lease and
bond. He expects to cut the vein with
a total distance of about 24O feet at
depth of over 400 feet. The work is
being done by contract, two shifts be-
ing employed.

THE NAM MOTH.
Preparations Being Made to Exten
sively Develop Property.


A recently issued circular letter to
the stockholders of the Mammoth
Mining company from Secretary Geo.
Austin indicates that the property will
soon be the scene of active develop
ment. Since taking over the property
last year 10 feet Of tunnel has been
run, which with open cuts and shafts
has placed it in excellent condition for
further development. Mr.. Austin
states that several carloads of ore
could easily be shipped at this time,
but the management has decided that
1t would be more economical to extend
the tunnel under the ore and thus
largely increase the amount available
The vein as exposed by surface work
is four feet wide and the ore averages
from S5 to 40 per cent lead and from a
to 10 ounces silver. Three carloads of
ore have been shipped from two shafts
80 and so feet deep respectively which
gave an average assay of 40 per cent
lead and ounces of silver. Favor
able reports have been made on the
property by several local engineers
and a large block of treasury stock
has been subscribed by Occur d'Alene
and Spokane people. The property is
located about six miles from Bonita.
Mont, and has a good wagon road
connection with the railroad.

THE INTERMouNTAIN.
Mild Weather Insures Early Resump
ton of Operations.

Discard Nordquist, manager of the
intermountain Mining company. who
went to the mine a couple of weeks
ago to arrange for starting up at the
earliest possible date, is still at the
property. A new water wheel is be-
ing placed in position at the MILL and
by the time this is completed it is ex-
pected that the mild weather will have
made a resumption possible. In fact
parties interested in the Intermoun-
tain here believe that everything is
now in readiness. There is a large
amount of low grade ore on dump and
this was utilized in making the trial
run of the mill last fall. The mine is
In shape to produce ore to keep the
mill going and of much better grade
than that on the dump, and this will
be the source of supply, the lower
grade being worked in with II as
rapidly as deemed practical.

BIG CREEK LEASE.

The Big Creek Leasing company, of
ager, is reported to have made an i'm
portant strike on the Yankee Boy this
week in driving a raise from the low
err tunnel to locate the vein. The COM
pany has lease on the lower work
ings of the Yankee Boy, and having
driven a long crosscut without defin-
itely locating the vein, raise was
started in the hope of encountering it.
The raise had been extended about 800
feet, from which a crosscut was run
which this week reached the vein,
showing 8 inches of high grade gray
copper and four or five feet of other
vein matter containing more or less
characteristic of the Yankee Boy. The
property is opened by three tunnels
above the raise, in all of which rich
ore has been taken and all of which
are now being worked by leasers. The
shoot Of ore that has just been struck
by the Big creek company will no
doubt prove as long and rich as that
above and probably longer. The strike
was made about 200 feet below No. 8
tunnel, and now that the vein has been
found 1t is reasonably certain that it
will be located on the tunnel level and
that it will carry the same rich ore.
The Yankee Boy was originally To-
Gated by Dennis and True Blake, and
is still owned by the former and the
widow of his brother.

POWER FOR BANNER & BANGLE
Valuable Water Right Purchased BY
Company Near Troy, Montana.

Company Near Troy, Montana.
Last week a power site and water
right near Troy, Montana, were pur-
chased by Leo Greenough, manager of
the Snowstorm Mining company and
controlling owner of the Banner and
Bangle mine near Troy, the price paid
being $4,000, The power will be
utilized to develop electric energy for
the Banner and Bangle and in the OPP
GRAFTON of an electric railway from the
mine to Troy, about five miles 1t
was announced a few weeks ago that
the mine had been purchased by the
Snowstorm Mining company and it is
assumed that the purchase was made
for that company. 1t was also stated
that the Snowstorm mill at Larson
would be dismantled about March
and the machinery shipped to Troy to
be used in a mill to be erected there
to handle the Banner and Bangle ore.

Railroad This Summer.
The preliminary steps toward build
ing mill for the Ray-J Jefferson
brings to the front the question of
railroad construction of Beaver creek,
for it is not to be presumed that this
large investment will be made In pre-
pairing the property for production
without definite plans for delivering
the ore and concentrates to the rail-
road by other means than over a wag-
on road. 1t is naturally expected that
the DIV. r. q N. company will build
branch from the North Fork to the
Ray-Jefferson mill, distance of about
10 miles over a uniform water grade
During the last few months agents OF
some company have been securing
rights of way, but it has been impos-
sible to learn from an authentic
source who or what company they
represent. 1t is very evident how

Is not in the least disturbed regarding
the transportation question, which

The Osceola Mining company /:

paign of development work ON Its
property on the west fork OF Placer

corporated and 1t Is understood that II
has been amply financed. A COM
pressor viii be installed just as soon
as the snow will permit its delivery at
the property and the construction of
necessary buildings. Electric power
will be utilized and the property will
be equipped with modern plant In
every respect.
The vein outcrop Is bold and pre-
cipitous in many places rising above
the surface so or rs feet The i'm
pregnation of iron in the form of linn
onite is so strong and prevalent that
the cropping is almost black.
Resembles Bunker Hill.
To any one who is familiar with the
original outcrop of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan, the similarity Of the surface
showing on the Osceola is very strik-
Ing and the opinion is expressed by
those who have made a careful study
of the formation that the Revett
quartzite zone of the Osceola is iden-
teal with that of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan There is also said to be
marked similarity in the mineraliza-
ton and vein structure, and much
confidence is felt that these character
istics on Placer creek will prove the
forerunner of mineral deposits such
as have made the mines of Wardner
famous. The Osceola is located in a
large undeveloped mineral field of I'M
usual promise.
The development of the property
will be under the direction of Dennis
Reardon, formerly superintendent of
the Green Hill-Cleveland, and min
ing man of wide experience both in the
Occur dAlene district and other west

property is located within mile of
the railroad, and large amount of
zinc ore of shipping grade is easily
accessible. There is also a lead vein
in addition to the zinc, but the latter
is the one to which he will give atten-
ton first. He stated that his brother.
Harry Reeves, who is mining engin-
