SINKING ON POLAR|S
RICH ORE SHIPMENTS
BOTTOM OF SHAFT IN GOOD ORE
SUSPEND WORK FOR A
FEW WEEKS.

The Polaris Developments Mining
company suspended operations this
week until the snow disappears from
the wagon road sufficiently to permit
getting in supplies Work has been
going on steadily all winter and five
carloads of high grade gray copper
ore have been shipped, netting from
$4,000 to $4,000 per ear. There is much
snow on the wagon road and the mild
weather has made 1t so soft that it Is
now impossible to haul over it, and
the expense of shoveling the snow is
too great to be considered. 1t was de-
cided, therefore, by the management
to lay off all but one man until the
snow disappears, which VIII probably
not be less than a month. There is
now more than carload of ore sort
ed and jigged ready for shipment as
soon as the condition of the road will
permit it to be moved.
Ore in the Shaft.
The shaft that is being sunk from
the tunnel level about 500 feet from
the old shaft is now down about ITS
feet and is in ore of the same grade
as that being shipped from above. AT
200 feet another level will be opened
Drifting is now in progress from the
shaft at a depth of 100 feet in good
ore. The work that is being done is
largely in the nature of prospecting in
order to determine the extent of the
ore shoot before undertaking more
elaborate plans of development. The
high grade character of the ore en-
ables the company to meet all ex-
penses through ore shipments, and
this will doubtless be true when other
and more extensive work is under
takenA The plan is to drive cross
cut from Polaris gulch which will cut
The vein at depth of 500 feet below
he present tunnel but when this work
will be undertaken has not yet been
decided.

MINING UNDER WARDNER.
Shaft Being Sunk in Town to Locate
Large Ore Body.

The Wardner Leasing company,
acting under authority granted by the
city council of Wardner in lease
covering a period of 25 years, has
started sinking a shaft in the heart
of the town with the expectation of
striking large ore body and the de-
velopmetn of mine. William Beau
dry, manager of the Stewart Mining
company, is also manager of the leas-
ing company and is directing opera
tons. 1t is proposed to sink the shaft
400 feet, when the ground win be ex-
plored by crosscuts. The people of
Wardner are much pleased to see
this work started, for there are strong
indications that it will prove success
full in adding new mine and help to
restore the old air of prosperous ac-
tivity for which the town was long
noted.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN ORE
HIGH SILVER AND LEAD
BIG BODY OF ORE IN cRoSscuT-
BAD ROAD CONDITIONS
STOP SHIPMENTS.

Crosscuts completed this week in
the upper tunnel of the property own
ed by the Lookout Mountain M. & M
company on Pine creek, show the
ledge to be over 25 feet in width with
mineral revealed across the entire
face. says the Wardner- Kellogg News.
wide tale seam was picked up in
the crosscut to the foot wall, a five-
foot showing of decomposed quartz
accompanying the tale The ore in
the vein is lead-silver carbonate, Civ
ing high values in both lead and sill
Yer. The drift in the upper tunnel
has followed the vein for nearly rs
feet and has disclosed an extensive
shoot of carbonate ores, one shoot in
the face now showing a width of u
inches. The management plans i'm
mediate steps to drive lower tunnel
to open this showing at a depth of
over 200 feet. Surveys for this tun-
mel were made this week and work
will be under way within a few days.
A new trail is being laid out, con-
Meeting the lower tunnel with the
county wagon road, short distance
above Beeler, and this trail will later
be widened to a wagon road, giving
an easy grade to the main road Dur
ing the week Fred w. Galloway, the
company's engineer and Prof. Francis
A. Thompson, head of the mining de-
.,rt,,, at Oh;
lege, were at the property both of
whom were well pleased with the
showing made in the upper workings
In his report to the officers Mr.. Gala
way stated that he considered the
showing very satisfactory and that he
was especially pleased with the devel-
opment in the south crosscut showing
the tale streak and advised immediate
ing his stay Prof. Thompson made
detailed study of the geological con-
ditions embracing and surrounding
the Lookout Mountain property. The
work on the property is being financed
