MANAGER PIONEER MINING MAN
OF DiSTRicT-RETURNS
FROM THE EAST.

ger OF the Duluth Minneapolis
Mining company, returned
from Duluth and Minneapolis
last week where he had been in con-
ference with officers and stockholders
of the company and which resulted in
effecting arrangements for continuing
the steady development of the prop
erty. The Duluth Minneapolis group
consists of 7 claims on Grouse gulch,
a tributary of Nine Mile. 1t lies west
of and adions the California and is
an extension of the famous California
Black Cloud vein, from which extern
siye shipments of ore have been made.
The main development ON the Duluth
Minneapolis is tunnel that has been
driven 1850 feet on the vein, which
shows values in lead and zinc every
foot of the distance. Crosscuts have
proved the vein to range from II to 20
feet wide, and it has all the character
istics of the great ore producing veins
OF the district The face of the tunnel
row shows tale, quartz and other
forms of ledge matter, all miHralized
and giving evidence of large body
of ore. In addition to extending the
drift, a crosstut is now being run
north with the expectation of cutting
the Monarch vein, which is known to
parallel the California. Work is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible in
both the drift and crosscut, and to-
tai of IA men are employed.
A Strong Company.
The officers and directors of the
Duluth Minneapolis company are all
men prominent and successful in the
business life of Minneapolis and Dull
nth, some of whom have valuable and
mines. George w. McClelland, of
Minneapolis, stakeholder in the In
terstate-Callahan who has frequently
visited this district, is president. r.
M. White is vice president, DR.. ]. ].
Ecklund, treasurer, and p. M. Olson,
secretary all of Duluth. o. B. Wal
lace, of Wallace. is manager. These
officers with M. G. Rodearmel, of Min
neapolis and ]. S. Graves, of Duluth,
constitute the boSrd of directors. Mr..
Rodearmel is vice president of the In
terstate- Callahan company and one
of the original hackers of Mr.. Wallace
in developing the Interstate mine,
which is now a part of the holdings
OF the consolidated company.
Made First Lead Silver Location.
Q. B. Wallace has the distinction of
having made the first lead silver To-
cation on the South Fork, the claim
being the Black Cloud and covering
the same vein that is now being ex-
plored by the Duluth Minneapolis
company. This was in 1884, and dur
ing the same year he located the Ore
ornogo claim near Burke, which now
and in-which is the zinc-lead vein
which has recently attracted much at
tention and from which shipments are
now being made. Mr.. Wallace also
claims which are now part of the In
terstate- Callahan. He subsequently
decided them to a friend who allowed
his rights to lapse and they were re-
located. Years later Mr.. Wallace Sc
cured the same ground and much
more with it and was instrumental in
organizing the Interstate Mining COM
pany which was afterwards combined
with the Callahan. He has seen all
the big mines of the district developed
from prospects, and he has had I'M
usual opportunity to study the geolog-
ical conditions that accompanied the
discovery of these great ore bodies.
He has recognized these conditions in
the Duluth Minneapolis and is confld-
ent of developing large body of ore.
