QUIET ALONG PINE CREEK
AWAIT TRANSPORTATION
OUGLAS-MUCH SHIPPING
ORE AVAILABLE.

Charles l.. Bishop manager of the
Douglas mine, which is under lease to
the Anaconda company was in the
city the first of the week. Mining op
erations ON Pine creek are almost at a
standstill, said Mr.. Bishop, owing to
the impossible condition of the wagon
road for heavy loads since the high
water the last of the year. What Is
needed is weather cold enough to
freeze the ground and enough snow to
make road bed, conditions that may
be brought about by the change in
weather since the first of the week. AT
the Douglas only two or three men
are employed. They are driving a
tunnel on the west side of the creek,
where the Douglas vein was discover
ed by Mr.. Bishop after persistent
prospecting. The tunnel has now been
extended on the vein about 100 feet,
the ore shoot varying in width from
six inches to two feet. The ore as far

Gently appeared which may prove OF
great importance. The bins at the
Douglas are full of ore and the mine
is In shape to supply a heavy tonnage
lust as soon as transportation is open.

Regarding railroad construction on
Pine creek, Mr. Bishop had no infor-
nation regarding a resumption of the
work He assumed, however, that the
delay in repairing the grade which was
washed out and continuing the con-
struction of the line was due to the
transfer of men to the North Fork
Beaver branch, where the repairs are
more urgent, and when. that work is
completed he expects the Pine creek
branch to be moving again. The big
catapillar grading machine was upset
and almost buried by debris during the
high water and men were this week
engaged in removing it from the creeh
bed preparatory for service.

STOCKHOLDERS OF REX
ASKED TO APPROVE DEAL
DIRECTORS EXPLAIN CHANGE IN
SITUATION AND ASK FOR
INSTRUCTIONS.

In the last issue of the Miner refer
ence was made to the agreement en-
tered into between the old Rex Min
ing company and the Rex Consolidat-
ed company. by the terms of which the
old company was to be absorbed by
the consolidated company by exchang-
ing it's stock for an equal number of
shares in the new organization. This
agreement was made with the under
standing that the consolidated COM
pany had acquired lease on a large
tract of zinc land at Miami, OKLA,
which it proposed to develop and also
that the company would proceed fur
ther to explore the Rex mine. 1t was
found, however, after these negotia-
tions had been consummated, that 1t
was not desirable at this time to un-
dertake operations at Miami, owing to
the difficulty of marketing zinc from
that district except by those compan
les having contracts with smelters
Under these circumstances the direct
lors of the old Rex company were un-
willing to close the deal without first
submitting it to the stockholders foi
their approval. This they have done
in the form of circular letter just is
sued by Charles Hussey, secretary OF
the company, which here follows:

Mr.. Skeels' Report.

"The ore occurs in lenzes within
the vein separate and apart from
each other, irregular in size and shape
and of considerable variance in va
lues. The west end of the vein Is con-
tinuous to the 1000-foot level where
it developed its best ore bodies, from
there diminishing rapidly until end
ing on the t200-foot level. However,
a low grade shoot of ore has been
opened on the 1500-foot level which
by development through nearly barren
territory has been practically proven
to be the downward continuation of
the west end Of the vein.
"The east end of the vein continues
downward to the 1200-foot level where
it is the end of commercial ore of any
size or regularity. The vein, how
ever, continuing downward to the
1500-foot level in a very broken and
irregular condition. The orebodies
below the 1000-foot level are rarely
continuous from one level to the next
below.
"The maximum width Of the ore
bodies was found at the 300-foot level,
narrowing somewhat at the 900, again
widening to the best commercial ore
at the 1000 and again narrowing to
nearly point at the 1200-foot level.
From this, together with the irregu-
lar and broken condition of the ore
bodies between the 1900 and 1900
foot levels, and considering that the
granite is converging with depth, 1t

Interesting developments are also

been sunk on what is known as the

been opened by a crosscut from the

probably 400 feet, showing consider

shaft has now been sunk 200 feet from

AJAX ENCOUNTERS VEIN
IN DOM PAUL CROsSCUT
START DRIFTING WEST-PRE-
PAIRING TO cRosSCUT FROM
MOONLIGHT SHAFT.

The Ajax vein was encountered in
the Dom Paul crosscut last week and
proved to be three feet wide at the
point of intersection. This announce
ment was made Monday evening by
A. c. BiXby, manager of the Ajax Min
ing company. Along the hanging wall
there is much quartz intermingled With
galena and the balance of the vein is
described as quartzite heavily miner
allied intersperced with seams of tale
and other ledge material. The distri-
button of galena through the vein
seems to be quite general, but not in
sufficient quantity to give it CONNER
cial value. Drifting west started Mon
day night and the prospect of develop
ing an ore shoot of Importance seems
to be exceptionally favorable. The
Ajax consists of II or IS claims lying
east of and adjoining the Hercules,
presumably covering that famous vein
for the length of four claims or 5000
feet The point where the ledge has
Just been cut is over 1000 feet from
the west end line and at an approx
mate depth of 1900 feet.

When the meeting convened the for
mer president attempted to arbitrarily

took the meeting into their own hands
with the result stated. At the direc-
tors meeting Immediately after the ad-

| ing Mr. Pfrman was elected president,
Mr.. Walker vice president, and Mr..

elected thereto. Mr.. Frank Skeels
was selected as engineer to report and
direct the work. Salaries were fixed
at $25O0 and 500 for president and
secretary treasurer respectively, pay

the money. Salary of assistant sec

sented to take for the present in view
of the companys condition. The
directors were determined to keep ex-

been brought by what they considered
wholly unjustiflable expenditures. The
office is handled by Mr.. Kennedy alone
for the present.
As soon as possible Mr.. Skeels be-
gan an examination of the property
