CHICAGO BOSTON.
Shaft Down Nearly 200 Feet-Soon to
Start Another Drift.


Development of the Chicago Bos-
ton, on Lake gulch, about two miles
west of this city. the control of which
is under option to the Days, is evil
IDENTIFY progressing very satisfactorily.
After sinking 100 feet drift was run
on the big lead vein in which large
body of ore had been developed under
former management in the lower tun-
mel. After driving on the ore at the
additional depth which proved the
shoot to be fully as large as above
and Of possibly better grade, drifting
was discontinued and sinking resum-
ed. 1t was learned this week that
since the resumption Of work In the
shaft almost 100 feet has been accom-
plished, and that at depth of 200
feet another drift will be run to ex-
plore the big ore shoot.
Crosscutting for the gray copper
vein continues from the lower tunne
level. This Is the vein upon which
the property was originally located
and in which considerable high grade
ore has been developed in the upper
tunnels.

CEDAR CREEK.
More Ore Coming in as Drift contin :
ues Toward Shaft.


ues Toward Shaft.
William Becker, secretary of the
Cedar Creek Mining g. Development
came over from the proper
ty Tuesday, where he had been for q
few days. The drift which is being
run east is now about 245 feet from
a point under the shaft and about so
feet from a point where the ore was
first encountered in the level above.
Mr.. Becker says there was when he
left about IS inches of the vein in the
face in which there is liberal dis
tribution of ore and that the amount
of ore is increasing steadily. The drift
has been perfectly dry until the day
he left, when the last round struck
considerable flow of water. Mr..
Becker expressed himself as much
pleased with the showing and confid-
emily expects commercial ore at an
early date. Considerable time has
been lost this month on account Of
the difficulty in keeping muckers on
the job, but this condition has now
been overcome and the work is ex-
pected To proceed without interrup-
tiOn.

APPOINT NO RECEIVER
FOR St. LAWRENCE NINE
WILL NOT GRANT INJUNCTION
WITHOUT INDEMNIFY.
ING BOND.

The hearing on the application OF
Andrew Laidlaw, incorporated, or
Spokane, for an order restraining
Henry M Lancaster from shipping
ore from the st. Lawrence mine and
from in any manner exercising con-
troll of 1t, and for the appointment OF
a receiver to take charge of the prop
erty was heard in the district court
at Missoula last Monday. The court
was not long in arriving at a deci-
sion. The court found that there was
nothing in the showing made by the
plaintiff to warrant the appointment
of a receiver for the st. Lawrence
and the application was therefore de-
MED. On the question OF Injunction
the court was evidently Of the same
mind but was disposed to consider
further testimony at a subsequent
hearing provided the interests Of Mr..
Lancaster were safeguarded The or
der of the court was therefore to the
effect that temporary restraining
order would be issued against Mr..
Lancaster upon condition that the
plaintiff within reasonable time files
with the court bond for $4,000 as a
protection to the defendant against
loss pending the hearing Of the case
on its merits. The bond had not been
filed yesterday evening. Mr.. Lancas-
ter was represented at the hearing by
Carlton Fox, Of Featherstone & Fox
of this city. w. C. Jones and F. T
Domer, Of Spokane, and Thomas M
Marlowe, of Missoula, represented
Laidlaw, incorporated.
St. Lawrence Shipments.
Mr.. Lancaster was in the city last
night, returning to the mine this NOR
ming. Three carloads Of ore from the
St. Lawrence have been shipped dur
ing the past week, the third car be-
II ing billed out at Saltese yesterday
Two 4-horse teams and one single
team are hauling ore from the mine
delivering about two carloads pc
week. This record will probably b,
Improved soon when the new .roat
becomes more solid which will perml

Old Timer on North Side Has Fine
Showing Of Lead.
Dan Sieger, who has been engaged
years, was In the city several days
this week. He and his associates
own a group of claims called the lone,
situated between the Bear Top and
Paragon, which from his description
has remarkable showing of lead ore
on the surface. He exhibited a SAM
pie of the ore which appears to be
fully rs per cent lead. The ledge car
rying this ore is easily traced for 1900
feet, and for a distance of 600 feet Mr.
Sieger says the outcrop shows ore
practically all the way. A shaft has
been sunk 8 feet on ore and in 1.-The
bottom there is a foot of almost clean
galena. Mr.. Sieger stated that he is
now arranging to continue sinking on
in width, with the view to shipping

IDAHO NEVADA.

Conflicting reports have been In
regarding the showing at
the Idaho Nevada during the past
week or more. AS near as can be
learned from inquiries. the drift Is
now being extended west from the
crosscut that was run south from ths
main drift to the west. The main
drift was run west over 200 feet
From this crosscut was run south
150 feet without reaching the wall OF
the big mineralized zone. Drifting is
now going forward west from this
crosscut which should soon be under
the strong outcrop Of the vein. Some
excellent copper ore has been exhib.
tied from the Idaho Nevada. This ore
was taken from a short crosscut from
the west drift which cut the ore shool
that Is exposed In the upper tunnel.

Start National Mill
Within Two Weeks;
Crosscut to theVein

YF THE National vein. when en-
countered by the crosscut that Is
now being run from the bottom of
the shaft, shows grade of ore
equal to much OF that in the upper
workings and in quantity that will
yield 100 tons per day, the National
mill will be running within two
weeks and earning substantial pro-
fit. This in substance is the announce
ment of Charles McKinnis, manager
of the company, the first of the week,
and 1t is the best news that has come
to National stockholders for many
days. In other words. If the ore in
the lower workings will average IA
per cent copper and will supply the
mill 100 tons per day, this with the
large amount of ore available above
lit is believed will place the
property on paying basis.
Tuesday the crosscut had been
advanced 80 feet and the ledge may
now be expected any day There has
been marked change in the forma-
tion, the rock is not so hard and 1t is
liberallye impregnated with copper.
This condition taken with the discov-
cry of rich stringers in the shaft is
regarded as most favorable, and much
confidence Is felt that the vein will
show grade of ore far above the
minimum placed by Mr.. McKinnis.
The crosscut is being run at a depth
of 535 feet below the main working
tunnel and the result of the plans
now being carried out may be accept
ed as the final test of the property.
Among those best informed there is
a feeling Of confidence that the Ma
tional is going to redeem itself.
There will be no delay in starting
the mill Some parts were removed
during the shutdown to accommodate
other mining companies, but these are
now being replaced and the plant is
practically complete in every respect.

SINKING TARBOX SHAFT
MAKING A GOOD RECORD
REACH 800 LEVEL BEFORE SEP.
TENDER 1-PEPARiNG TO
CONSTRUCT MILL.

Richard DaXon, manager of the Tar
box Mining company, came over from
the mine near Saltese Tuesday and
returned this morning. He was in a
very optimistic mood over the pro-
gress of operations at the Tarbox,
and looks forward to placing the pro-
|perty on a productive basis within the
next few months. He certainly is de-
serving of the success that now seems
about to crown his efforts. For many
years he has assumed the burden Of
Financing the property and has stuck
to the task with a tenacity that has
overcome many obstacles which would
have discouraged a less determined
man. All the time he has given his
personal attention to the manage
ment, and he has the satisfaction now
of seeing the property in a position
that warrants the prediction that 1t
will soon amply reward him and the
stockholders who have loyalty stood
by him.
Good Work in Shaft.
Having developed large body of
ore on the 900 level, the Tarbox shaft
is now being sunk to the 800, where a
crosscut will be run to the ore body
| If the ore on this level shows i'm
provement in grade over that on the
600 in the same proportion that the
ore on the 800 improved over that
on the 400, large amount Of shipping
ore may reasonably be expected along
with much ore of milling grade. The
best record is now being made in sink
ing the shaft 1t is going down at the
rate of five feet every "a hours, ol
$50 feet per month. 1t is now dowr
100 feet below the 600, and allowine
for possible delays It should reach the
500 before the first of September.
The sawmill at the mine Is now
turning out lumber for the mill, which
is expected to be completed by thu
time ore is developed on the 500. Sur
vey for the flume will be made with
In the next few days and it win b.

Soldiers Will Guard
the Mines and Mills
of Coeur d'Alenes

~ OVERNOR MOSES Alexander
arrived In the city last Satur
day afternoon and left Mon
day morning Sunday after
noon he held formal conference
with citizens in the parlor of the
Samuels hotel, at which was discuss
ed the l. w. w. situation with refer
ence to the necessity for sending SOL
diers here for the protection Of the
people against threatened depreda-
tions. This papr was not represented
at the conference, but from persons
who were there 1t is learned that
Ramsey M. Walker took the lead In
advocating the sending of federal
troops to this district. The governor,
however, did not appear to be i'm
pressed with his argument, and stated
that from his observations there was
nothing in the situation to warrant
the calling of troops. and in support
of his contention he asked Sheriff
Pfeil, who was present, If he felt that
lie Was dDic W SlNc siC Pio'SNtioi ~
quired, to which the sheriff replied
in the affirmative. In the face of the
assurance from Sheriff Pfeil that he
was able to handle the situation, the
argument of Mr.. Walker was with
out effect the governor bluntly refus-
ing to consider the use of the mill
tary.
Soldiers to Guard Mines and Mills.
At this juncture the subject was
presented from different view point
and Governor Alexander was plainly
impressed more favorably. Whether
this change was due to the merits of
the case or to the influence of the
man who presented it is immaterial.
Harry L. Day directed the attention
of the governor to the Importance to
the government of the metal product
of the Occur d'Alene district, and that
the lead producers here had entered
into an agreement to furnish one
sixth of the lead required by the gov
ernment. 1t was pointed out that the
government was therefore directly
interested in the protection of the
mines and mills, and he felt that the
mine operators were justified in ask
ing federal protection to relieve the
companies from maintaining private
guards. 1t was evident that the gov
ernor was favorably impressed, and
in the end he agreed to send soldiers
here for the specific purpose of
guarding the mines and mills. When
they will arrive has not been an
nounced, but the governor intimated
that a sufficient number for the SER
vice were available without long de-
lay.
