Important developments are also re-
ported on the 1900. In drifting east
on this level to catch the ore shoot OH
the 1900, a little ore was encountered
almost from the start. Failing to in
crease as rapidly as expected. which
is now known to be due to the strong
rake to the east, a raise was recently
made which struck the ore shoot at
height of "a feet. The drift is being

Another important ore disclosure
has recently been made on the 400

to the east and almost Immediately
broke into an ore body 16 feet wide,
being the same shoot that has been
explored on the 1900 and which has
also been proved to extend to the 1900.
The development of this ore shoot on
three levels has greatly increased the
available ore and given a very flat
tering outlook for the property.

COPPER KING.
Samples Carrying High Values II
Lead, Silver and Copper.

Samples Carrying High Values in
Lead, Silver and Copper.
AS an evidence of what is now be-
ing found in the Copper King, Harry
ingalls,, manager Of the property, this
week exhibited a chunk of galena
which he stated carried 40 per cent
lead and 80 ounces of silver. This
was taken from one Of the streaks Of
higher grade ore running through the
big body that has been developed in
the property. Another sample was
gray copper which was taken from a
streak about 10 feet wide along the
banging wall. This ore Mr.. ingalls,
says assays 81 ounces in silver and "a
per cent copper. In addition to this
gray "copper" there are copper values
distributed throughout the big body
Of lead, making a considerable addi-
ton to the recoverable metal The
ore shoot as a whole is described as
over SO feet wide and 1870 feet long. A
drift has been run along the hanging
wall for distance Of SO feet exploring
the gray copper. About midway OF
the shoot drift has been run 100
feet, while along the foot wall drift
has been extended 130 feet All Of
these drifts are in ore and the ground
between is also ore. Mr. ingalls, de-
scribes the showing as about the big
gest thing that ever happened in the
way Of an ore shoot in the Mullan
section.

ED EHRENBERG WILL
OPEN THE FLYNN GROUP
THROUGH STAR GROUND.

Ed Ehrenberg, who has a bond
on the Flynn group, announcement
of which was made in the Miner
two weeks ago, stated yesterday
that he had entered into an agree
ment with the Star Mining COM
pany by which he will be permitted
to drive crosscut from the Star
workings into the Flynn ground,
and 1t is presumed that he will
have the use of the Star COM
pressor blacksmith shop and ne
cessary buildings for the accom-
modation of his men, Work will
begin, Mr.. Ehrenberg said, just as
soon as supplies can be delivered.
which will be matter of only a
few days. Mr.. Ehrenberg estimates
that 1t will be necessary to drive
between 500 and 700 feet from the
Star workings to reach the main
Flynn vein. This, however, is
largely speculative, as sufficient
work has not been done on the
vein to indicate its dip with any
degree Of certainty. 1t will be sur
prising to most people who are not
intimately acquainted with the
mountain upon which the Flynn
group is located to learn that this
crosscut from the Star will cut the
Flynn vein at depth of 1900 feet.
This mountain, according to the
Typographical map issued by the
geological survey. rises $500 feet
above the railroad at Black Bear,
making the Star workings 1000
feet above the same point The
Flynn group consists of 20 patent
ed claims lying north Of the Star.
The bond is for 100000 and runs
two and a half years from July /.

SHERIDAN STRIKES
SHIPPING ORE IN REX
WORKING UNDER LEASE.

N. c. Sheridan, formerly super
intendent Of the Rex Consolidated
Mining company and who recently
secured lease on the upper work.
ings of the Rex mine, was in a fine
frame of mind yesterday over re-
cent developments on the lease.
After taking the lease it was ne
cessary to do considerable prelim-
mary work in order to get to cer-
tain ore on No. 2 level. This was
accomplished the first Of the week,
when the first round of shots fired
in the ore broke down four or five
tons that averages 60 per cent lead
or better. There is fine streak Of
zinc ore along the hanging wall
joining the lead shoot, but appar-
emily free from it, and Mr.. Sheri-
dan expects to be able to break
the lead without disturbing the
zinc, leaving it to be mined separ-
ately and thus retaining each as a
clean shipping product. Mr.. Sher-
idan estimates that this body Of
lead zinc ore will produce 10 or IL
carloads for shipment. Besides
this sulphide ore. a fine bunch Of
lead carbonate has been developed
above No. / level which promises
to make a substantial addition to
the profits of the lease. The ore
will be conveyed to the railroad at
Sunset station over the Rex tram
way, where there are good loading
facilities. Only four men have
been employed up to this time. but
it is the intention of Mr. Sheridan
to increase the force to u men
within the next few days.

MUCH ORE BLOCKED OUT
IN THE BEAR TOP MINE
FOR oPERATloN-REPAIR
WAGON ROAD.

The Henrietta Exploration company,
which has a long lease on the Bear
Top, above Murray, was hard hit by
the disastrous flood last December,
but it now gives evidence of speedy
recovery. After taking over the prop
erty the company found it necessary
to do much work in restoring the old
workings in order to mine economi-
complished and three carloads of high
grade lead ore had been extracted, two
of which had been shipped, when the
flood came along and destroyed the
railroad, wagon road, compressor
building and imposed various other
damages which effectually put the
company out of commission for the
time being. But the leasing company
being in the hands Of practical min
ing men who are accustomed to meet
and overcome difficulties plans have
been devised which are expected to
soon place the Bear Top on a produce
tive basis again.
Much Orc Blocked Out.
The Bear Top ore is a clean high
grade lead, and the ore bodies have
been developed by drifts and slopes
to an extent that it is now merely a
question OF mining the ore. The cars
shipped and ore remaining on the
dump average above so per cent lead.
There Is much Of this high grade ex-
posed in the slopes as well as a large
amount Of excellent milling ore. There
is mill on the property of $50 tons
capacity and which has recently been
overhauled and placed in first class
condition. The mill belongs to the
Bear Top, but Is to be used jointly
with the Orc Fino, an adjoining prop
erty controlled by Patrick Burke. The
mine and mill are now practically in
shape for production and will be in
operation upon completion Of repairs
to the wagon road up Bear gulch,
which Is badly washed out. The Hen
rietta company plans to begin this re-
pair work at once. Until the railroad
Is restored the product of the mine
will be hauled to the Beaver creek
branch at Delta for shipment The
principal stockholders Of the Henriet-
at company are William Beaudry,
manager of the Stewart; Ben C. Har-
mon, manager of the Northern Light
s. L. Shonts mining engineer of Wal
lace. and F. H. Skeels, superintendent
Of the Success.

TARBOx.

Last week reference was made to
the increased silver value in Tarbox
ore on the 800 level At that time
a complete assayof the sample had
not been made. The full return has
since been obtained, which follows.
Silver, 1871 ounces; lead, 3.2 per cent
zinc, 81 per cent copper, as per cent.
This assay represents a face of feet.
The pronounced increase in copper
and silver are significant of what may
be expected at further depth, which
will soon be attained by sinking a
winze 200 feet from the 500.

HOMEsTAkE SPECIMENS
RUN HIGH IN COPPER
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION ON
TROUT CREEK PROPERTY
RED CROSS WORK.

H, v. Edwards returned last week
from the Homestake property, on
Trout creek Montana, west of
Thompson, where he has been since
last summer giving his personal at
tention to development work. He
brought with him samples Of ore from
the Homestake that excite the cupid
ity Of all who see them. The chief
values are copper and the metal ap-
pears in such a variety Of forms and
combinations that they dazzle the eye
with their beauty. The ore is re-
splendent in the colors Of peacock
copper and an examination of the
samples discloses red oxide and black
oxide of copper bornite, chalcopyrite
and other forms of the red metal. This
ore was taken from a shoot that has
been explored for distance Of 200
feet, coming and going in varying
quantities, but making q continuous
shoot averaging probably two feet in
width. Another popularity is the ap-
pearance of lead in the vein, this met
al appearing in large punches at ir-
regular intervals and carrying high
silver values in addition to the lead.
The copper ore carries considerable
gold and silver.
Fault Cuts OF Orc.
A fault cut off the ore in the drift
and raise was started which also
soon encountered the fault. In this
situation winze was started on the
ore, which showed steady improve
ment as depth was gained. 1t was
soon demonstrated, however. that the
pumping facilities were unequal to
the task of keeping the water down.
This was due to seapage. the ground
being saturated with water, and it
was decided to suspend operations un-
til later in the spring when the water
will have subsided to an extent that
1t will be possible to handle 1t with
out difficulty. 1t was for this reason
that Mr.. Edwards and his family re-
turned to his home here, where they
will remain until conditions permit a
resumption.
Well Equipped Plant
The Homestake company has
compressor plant which utilizes crude
oil for power and which has given
most satisfactory results. Permanent
and comfortable buildings have been
provided for quarters for employees,
and for his family Mr.. Edwards erect
ed modern bungalow. Although far
removed from the centers Of popula-
ton and out of touch with the latest
news Of the war, Old Glory waved
proudly over the Homestake camp
during the winter and there were no
slackers in the Edwards family nor
in the Homestake crew. Mrs. Edwards
