REX.
Rumor That Work Will Soon Be Re-
sumed on Old Property.

Raymond Guyer. manager of the
Rex Consolidated Mining company,
has been in the east for several weeks,
where the details in connection with
taking over the holdings of the old
Rex Mining company were consum-
mated. Shareholders in the old COM
pany will now receive an equal num-
Der of shares in the consolidated, one
of the conditions of which is that the
consolidated company will proceed
with the further development of the
Rex mine. 1t is understood that the
work proposed will be the sinking OF
the shaft 800 feet further, its depth
now being 700 feet. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Guyer is now on his way to this
city from New York. and it is there
fore presumed that work will begin
soon after his arrival.

n. company, to the Occur d'Alene
district the first of the week
was expected to bring out some defin-
te information regarding the con-
struction of the Pine creek branch,
and much disappointment is in evil
dence since the general manager left
the district without making a direct
statement on the subject. The mine
owners of Pine creek complied with
every condition demanded by the COM
pany when 1t agreed to build the line,
even to the extent of paying an eX-
cessive freight rate which with the
tonnage actually in sight would soon
return the money spent by the rail-
road company In building the line.
They have made heavy expenditures
completed at the earliest practical
date. They fully appreciate the diff
culties that the railroad company has
had to conten with during the past
two months and they are willing to
concede that repair work on other
lines may present a matter of more
pressing Importance than the con-
struction of the branch up Pine creek,
but while conceding this, they in
sst that having entered into an
mining companies having shaped their
plans with the full expectation that
the agreement would be carried out,
they are entitled to know the inten-
tions of the company with respect to
the same. 1t was hoped that Mr..
O'Brien would make the attitude of
the company clear on this point while
here, but he failed to do so.
May Soon Begin Work.
There are some matters in connec-
ton with the railroad situation which
indicate that the Pine creek branch
will be com pleted after the Beaver
creek branch is open for traffic. One
Of these is the presence Of an engi-
neer for the company who makes his
headquarters at the mouth Of Pine
creek A new engineer has just been
sent here to represent the construc-
tion work of the company. His name
| is j. f. Meagher and he will superin-
tend the repair work on the North
Fork and Beaver creek. At the same
time a new contractor has taken over
that wokr, A. Gutherie & Co., of Van
couver Wash, and is expected to be
on the ground today or tomorrow
| on 90
men. If this repair work was all that
Is contemplated by the railroad COM
pany at this time, it is believed that
the engineers headquarters would be
transferred to the North Fork in or
der to be in closer touch with the
work, and that company supplies and
equipment still at Pine creek would
also be moved. Altogether there is a
feeling among those who have given
attention to the situation that work
on the Pine creek line will start as
soon as the North Fork and Beaver
creek repairs are completed, and that
the same men and outfit will immedi-
ately be transferred to Pine creek.
Beaver Creek.
Accompanying Mr.. OBrien in his
private car were M. j. Buckley, gen.
eral superintendent of the O.-W. r. &
N. S. Murray, chief engineer, and
William Connolly, superintendent of
the Washington division. The entire
party inspected the damaged track on
the North Fork and Beaver creek yes
terday and left in the afternoon for
the coast. After his inspection Mr..
O'Brien stated that he chopped to get
the Beaver creek branch open for
traffic within two weeks"

DREDGING ON PR|CHARD
BY YUKON GOLD COMPANY
GOOD PAY, BUT PUBLISHED FIG
URES ARE EXAGGERATION
NEED RAILROAD BADLY.

A. d. Hughes, manager in charge of
the dredge of the. Yukon Gold COM
pany, on Prichard creek, near Murray,
was in the city last Saturday. The
dredge was shipped from Yukon terri
tory last year and the work of recon-
structing the monster machine was
under the direction of Mr.. Hughes.
The work was accomplished last No
vember, after numerous annoying de-
lays, and since that time it has been
running steadily. Three shifts are
employed and there is no lost time
during the "a hours except brief stop
to oil certain submerged parts of ma
chinery. The dredge is situated about
a mile below Murray and at this place
bed rock is about 30 feet deep. At
places there are ribs of hard formation
in the bedrock, but as a rule the big
buckets scrape off the top to an extent
that insures getting all the gold, prac-
tically all the pay being found on bed
rock. No trouble has been expert
enced with boulders, the buckets ham
ding the biggest of them and they are
carried back by conveyors and finally
landed on the tailings dump. Cold
weather has not interfered with oper-
ations. In fact the only interference
from cold is in freezing the pond to an
extent that the interferes with NOV
ing the dredge, and this has not oc-
Cured

James Fl. Taylor manager Of the
Bullion Mining company, is preparing
to resume operations on the property
the last of this month. 1t Is expected
that or 10 men will be employed.
Considerable prospecting work will be
done before continuing the drift on
No. 8 level, which is due to encounter
commercial ore that has been proved
by diamond drill within short dis
tance.

HYPOTHEEK SHUT DOWN
BY A DEFECTIVE CABLE
ORDER FOR NEW CABLE UP. TO
GOVERNMENT-oRE COMING
IN ON 100 LEVEL.

The HypOtheek mine has certainly
experienced run of hard luck this
winter that is without counterpart
in this district, and which it is hoped
will soon reach the turning point in
letter to the stockholders Manager
Otto A. OLSON enumerated some of
the troubles with which the company
had had to contend. Among these
was the washout the last of the year
which prevented ore shipments, and
when this was overcome an embargo
or ore cars prevented movement Of
ore This last was of short duration,
but scarcely had the embargo been
raised when another and more serious
difficulty was presented which has
now closed down the mine.
Hosting Gable Bad.
A new hosting cable was put on
cable was defective, for Manager Ols-
son states that within few days af-
ter it was in use broken strands were
discovered. A close watch was kept
on the cable to guard against possible
breakage Finally last week the cable
had reached condition that rendered
further operation unsafe and on Fri
day the mine was closed down. The
company supplying the cable has been
notified and every effort is being made
TO get new one, but indications are
that considerable time will elapse be-
fore this will be accomplished. The
government has first call on all wire
rope products, and in order to get an
order filled it must be submitted to
the government board and if it is
found that it is needed in the produc-
ton of material required by the gov
ernment a priority order will be issu-
ed and the order will be filed. Under
this process the Hypotheek company
will get a new cable, but how long it
will take to run the gauntlet of red
tape is a question that only time can
answer.
Ore on the 100.
Manager Olsson reports the mine in
excellent condition for production
The most important recent develop
ment is the appearance of ore in
drifting east on the 100 level. Con-
siderable galena is now coming in,
corresponding to the ore shoot on the
800, which has a decided rake to the
east.
Two carloads of ore are now in
transit and other shipments will fol-
low, as there is about 200 tons of
concentrates and crude ore on hand
and the mill is still running on ore left
in the bins. The company will take
advantage of the enforced shutdown to
make repairs.

WONDERFULLY RICH ORE SHOOT
DEVELOPED 60 FEET-IN-
CREASE FORCE.

Conditions at the Big Creek prop
erty, to which conspicuous reference
has been made in this paper during
the past few weeks, continue most
encouraging. Drifting has been car
rled eastward on the gray copper
shoot for a distance of about so feet,
making a total distance exposed of
about so feet, all in good ore. G. Scott
Anderson, president and manager of
the Big Creek Mining company. states
that it is very gratifying to him to be
able to report that the ore product has
increased in quantity and shows
decided Improvement in silver and
copper values as development has
been extended. He states that the
mine is now assuming the appearance
or a producing property. Strong and
substantial timbers are being placed
in position on the sill floor and prepar-
ations are being made to stope on the
unusual exposure which exists above
the tunnel level.

Shipments Soon to Begin.

1t is understood that it is the in
tention of the management to increase
the working force just as rapidly as it
can be done consistent with practi-
cal mining operations. There is a fine
bunch of ore being taken out during
the latest work in the drift, and as
described by Mr. Anderson there can
be little doubt that this display is the
finest ever seen in this district. The
ore carries high values in both silver
and copper, and the amount of this
grade of ore that is accumulating from
the limited amount of development
must be most gratifying to the stock
holders of the company. The ore is
being sacked and delivered at the foot
of the hill for shipment, and it is eX-
pected that the first carload will be
on the way to the smeter on or soon
after the middle Of this month.
A sample of the higher grade ore
that is now being encountered in the
east Big Creek drift was assayed yes
terday and returned 2010 ounces in
silver and 3S7 per cent copper
