Denver Tunnel
Level
REPORT OF STEWART
President Reviews Opera
tions of Year.-Meeting of
Stewart and Nabob.

III ID ledTHeu lIOHi TlHe CREEK par
ties who We're in Wallace Tuesday
that the raise from the Nabob
crosscut to the Denver tunnel
broke through Monday at a point
practically at the face of the drift and
in four or five feet Of high grade mill
ing ore with considerable shipping.
The raise is 260 feet in length. 1t was
DETECTED slightly from the perpendicu-
lar course given by the engineer and
as a result it was extended a little
above the Denver level, making it
necessary to crosscut to make the
connection. 1t is stated that this con-
nection places the Nabob in position
to produce at once not less than 100
tons of mill feed per day.
1t Is learned that the management
has abandoned the plan to use the
Stewart mill, on account of the high
cost of transportation, and await the
construction of the railroad. 1t is then
expected that the company will build
a mill at the mine, using such parts
of the Stewart as may be found adapt
able to modern concentrating plant.
Letter from President Todd.
The Nabob company is controlled
by the Stewart Mining company and
the annual meetings of both companies
will be held at Kellogg on August 20.
In anticipation of the annual meeting,
Hiram c. Todd, president of the Stew
art Mining company, has issued let
ter to the stockholders of the company
in which he briefly reviews the oper-
ations of the company during the past
year. The letter was issued from the
New York office of the company undei
date Of August and here follows:
Nevada and Coeur d'Alenes.
"The work of the past year, because
OF the abnormal war conditions, has
been hindered and delayed by labor
troubles and delays in transportation
of materials and machinery, so that
there has not been as much accom-
pished as was anticipated when we
sent our last letter to the stockholders.
''The company is actively engaged
In developing its mining properties at
Tuscarora, Nevada, and in the Occur
d'Alenes, Idaho, of which the stock
holders have been previously advised
'At Tuscarora force of men under
the direction of Superintendent David
]. Cook are engaged in developing the
ground adjacent to the Nevada Queen
claim in such manner that, when
completed the valuable ores Of the
Nevada Queen and adjacent claims
can be easily transported to the MILL
Practically all of the necessary mill
machinery Is upon the ground, but 1t
has been thought wise to defer the
actual construction of the mill build
ing and the installation of the ma
chinery until such time as the loca-
ton Of the most available body Of ore
has been accurately determined. Su-
perintendent Cook, who is directing the
tunnel work. states that in his opinion
from two to three months will be re-
quired for this work at the end of
which time. If the ore bodies have been
developed to the extent predicted by
Superintendent Cook, the mill will be
completed and Immediately operated.
Nabob.
"In the Coeur d'Alenes, Idaho, and
not far from the old Stewart mine the
company has acquired the valuable
holdings of the Nabob Mining COM
pany including the Denver claim
Work upon this property has been pro-
crossing since the date of our last
report. Under the supervision Of our
managing director at the mines, Will
liam A. Beaudry, a long tunnel has
been completed, and our men are now
engaged in upraising to the ore. About
$4,000 tons Of commercial ore, of a
grade which will show a value Of about
$40 per ton, has thus far been de-
veloped. A tramway and necessary
buildings have been erected at the
mine, and the work done has been OF
most satisfactory character.
'IThe Nabob property is located on
Pine Creek. about seven miles from
the mine line of the O.-W. r. & N.
company. The railroad company Is
constructing spur up Pine Creek
which will soon be completed to
point near our property, SO that the
ores Of the Nabob mine can be readily
transported to the mill for treatment.
Your directors, upon the advice Of Mr..
Beaudry, are continuing the develop
ment work upon this property, and
are assured that, while not so large
an ore body as the original Stewart,
