North Side is brighter than 1t
has been for many years, ac-
cording to residents of that Sec
tion who have recently visited Wal
lace. Results Of persistent develop
ment work in the face of many dis
couraging circumstances fully justify
the expectation that the North Side
will soon take place of importance
in swelling the mineral production of
the Coeur d'Alene district The big
gest single enterprise Is the dredging
project that is. rapidly being carried
out by the Yukon Gold company
which has secured practically all the
ground along Prichard creek. The first
dredge is now being assembled at
point a short distance below Murray
and 1t Is expected that 1t will be in
operation early in the fall. The ap-
pearance of the Yukon Gold, which is
a Guggenheim company and is the
strongest dredging organization in the
world, has had a most beneficial ef

labor, there is said to be more min
ing activity than there has been for
several years, and actual ore ship
ments and ore in sight have reached
a degree of importance that is not
generally realized.
Jack Waite.
The most important shipper and the
property that has the largest amount
of reserve ore in sight Is the Jack
Waite. This company seems to have
overcome the obstacles that beset its
path in years past and has entered
upon a period that promises steady
expansion in operations and profit for
the stockholders. The company is now
shipping an average of 800 tons of
crude ore every month running so
per cent lead, and at the same time is
steadily increasing the ore reserves.
Delay in making shipments during the
winter and spring due to snowslides,
washouts and smeiter strike interfer-
red with the plans of the company to
build mill this summer. 1t is pos
sible that it may yet be taken up and
completed this fall.
Terrible. Edith.
Wash Snyder, who Is now the sole
owner of the Terrible Edith a short
distance above Murray and mile and
a half from the railroad, has about
two carloads of lead and zinc ore at
the railroad loading station at Little
field. 1t Is understood that Mr.. Sny-
der contemplates driving lower tun-
mel which will give several hundred
feet more depth and cut out much of
the wagon haul. Much ore has been
shipped from the present workings
and the property has been proved to
be one of great merit.
Giant Ledge.
Some details of recent development
on the Giant Ledge were given in the
Miner few weeks ago. including the
plans for future development. The
crosscut from the bottom of the 400
foot shaft has proved the vein to be
80 feet wide, carrying excellent mill
ing values the entire width. 1t is re-
ported unofficially that the vein will
average upwards of 80 per cent lead,
l6 ounces silver and IS in gold. A
drift toward the old workings is block
ing out a large body of ore. The cleo
trio power line of the Washington
Water Power company will soon be
utilized by the company. and plans
are being prepared for the construc-
tion of a 300-ton mill this fall.
Murray Hill.
This company, which was formerly
known as the Black Horse, Is work.
Ing a small force of men and keeping
the mill running part of the time. Two
carloads or more of zinc concentrates
are now awaiting shipment, and 1t is
expected that the railroad company
will supply the cars for shipment this
week. The Murray Hin is under the
management of Charles Feehan.
Paragon.
After a period Of idleness of several
months the Paragon is being unwat-
cred, which is taken to mean, In the
absence of any official information.
that an early resumption is contem-
plated. The property has been quite
extensively developed and 1t is un-
derstood is in condition to make fur
ther shipments of zinc. The company
uses the Murray Hill mill in exchange
for water power. The management
of the property Is in the hands Of L.
W. Stedman.
Rapid progress is being made by
