.REDMONARCHCROssCUT
REACHES SOUTH LINE
WILL MAKE RAISE TO THE SUR.
FACE FROM FIRST VEIN
ENCOUNTERED.

Work has been suspended in the
long crosscut tunnel which for the
past two years has occupied the at
tention of the Red Monarch Consoli-
dated Mining company. The suspen-
sion is due to the fact that the face
of the crosscut has reached the south
line Of the companys ground, and at
this point the actual length of the
crosscut is 4410 feet. This announce
ment was made yesterday evening by
Conrad Wolfe, of Spokane, president
and general manager of the Red Mon
arch company. In driving this cross
cut three strong and promising veins
have been cut, which was the pur-
pose of the big enterprise. The last
of the three veins was cut short
distance back from the face, and
while it contains no commercial val
ues, it is heavily mineralized through
out, showing evidences of lead and
zinc, having well defined walls, the
vein being 27 feet wide. This vein
will be explored when mining condi-
tlons are more favorable. Some 500
feet back from this vein the second
vein was cut. This is also well de-
fined fissure, four feet between walls,
and justifies exploration which will
be undertaken at a later date.
Ore in First Vein.
The first vein encountered was at a
point 1900 feet from the portal. This
showed considerable lead and zinc
ore. A drift was extended east on
this vein 500 or 600 feet which dis
closed more or less ore practically
continuously. Later a raise was made
on the ore a short distance from the
crosscut. At about so feet above the
drift the ore widened to from one to
four feet, much of it clean shipping
ore. The raise was extended about
100 feet and the vein explored for
considerable distance on each side
from the top. The ore showed a de-
crease. but the vein remained well
defined and with every indication
that the ore would come in again. Mr
Wolfe stated that work on the prop
erty will now be concentrated in this
raise, which will be extended probably
to the surface, a total distance OF
about 900 feet, which in addition TO
exploring the ground with good
prospect of developing a large ore
body, will provide ventilation for the
mine.
The driving Of this crosscut by the
Red Monarch company has cost
large sum. 1t is in hard rock every
foot of the way, constructed large for
main working tunnel. having "a
inch track with heavy steel. 1t opens
up a large mineral area and it is be-
lieved will eventually become the out
let for large tonnage.

EXTEND RED MONARCH
CROSSCUT TO THE REX.

The proposed extension of the
Red Monarch crosscut to a point
under the Rex shaft and eonnec-
ton of the two was the subject of
conference this week between
Conrad Wolfe, president and
manager of the Red Monarch,
and Raymond GuSer, manager of
the Rex Consolidated The two
gentlemen arrived in Wallace
Tuesday evening and Wednes-
day they visited the two proper
ties involved in the negotiations.
No definite agreement was reach
ed, but it is understood that the
arrangement will be effected and
that the connection will be made
as soon as mining conditions JUS
tify undertaking this class of de-
velopment The face of the Red
Monarch crosscut, which starts in
Missoula gulch, on the Beaver
creek side. is only about 1900 feet
from a point under the Rex
shaft, and its extension would ne
cessitate a raise of about go feet
to make connection. Messrs.
Wolfe and Guyer also visited the
Treasure Vault, on the west fork
of Nine Mile. 1t is also learned
that parties presumed to repre-
sent Mr.. Wblfle have approached
owners of the Lucky Jim group
with the view to purchase. The
Lucky Jim lies between the Red
Monarch and the Rex.

EX-GOVERNOR Mcconnell
INSPECTS MORNING NINE

Following the strike of the en-
ployes of the Federal Mining &
smelling company in the Morning
nine some two months ago, COM
plants against the working con-
ditions of the mine were filed
with the secretary of labor which
resulted in an investigation and
report by representative of the
department of justice. 1t appears
that this report was not as COM
plete as was desired by the gov
eminent and a second report was
therefore ordered by the depart
ment of labor. Ex-Governor w ].
Mcconnell, of Moscow, represen-
tative of the department, was as
signed to the task, which he has
completed, having spent two days
making a personal inspection of
the mine. He left for his home
this morning. From unofficial
sources it is learned that the
complaint against the Morning
was based chiefly upon alleged
unsafe conditions and poor ventil-
alton and a renewal of the former
demand for eight hours from por-
tai to portal. 1t is not believed
that these complaints will be
found justified, for it is we'll
known that the Federal company
has long been leader in the
adoption of safety first methods,
and as for ventilation, it was only
a few weeks ago that Robert n.
Bell, state mine inspector, after
an investigation of the Morning,
highly commended the ventilat-
ing system installed by the Fed
eral and which is to be further
extended as soon as equipment
can be delivered by manufacture
ers.

TARBOx.
Crosscuttne Started From 80O-Dam
for Water Power Completed.

S'oSseuttin9 otarted FROM SUU-Dam
for Water Power Completed.
1t is stated that crosscutting on the
500 level of the Tarbox started this
week, the statement that the start
was made last week being erroneous.
1t is estimated that rs feet will have
to be run to reach the vein, although
it is possible it may be cut in a much
shorter distance, due to change in the
dip. The dam about a mile above the
mine which will provide a reservoir
for water power is completed and the
company will soon place an order for
steel pipe to utilize it. This informa-
ton was obtained from William
Scheave, of this city, who spent last
Friday and Saturday at the Tarbox.
He went through the mine and over
the great surface showings, all for the
purpose of confirming the published
reports regarding the property. He
returned greatly enthused over what
he had seen, for he not only confirmed
all that he had heard, but in his opin-
ion the reports have been too conser-
Vative.

RICH ANT|MONY STRIKE
PINE CREEK PROPERTY
ORE ON THREE LEVELS-COM.
PANY HAS MODERN MILL
PRICE OF METAL.

Last Sunday an important strike
was made by the Coeur dAlene An
timony company in drift from
the bottom of the shaft. In a
letter issued by the company on Sep
tember 20 it was stated that drifting
had been started at that point, that
some ore was being encountered and
that the main ore shoot was expected
in about so feet. Last Sunday body
of stibnite, very high grade antimony
ore, was broken into, which had every
evidence of proving the largest and
the mine. However later reports re-
garding it's extent have not been OBJ
tainable. The shaft is now down 275
feet, being an incline. Two levels
above the one upon which the pres
ent strike was made have been open
ed and on each of which it is under
stood that there is quite a large
amount of available ore.
Well Equipped Mill.
The company has a well equipped
mill which has recently been remod-
elled and is reported to be making a
very satisfactory recovery from the
ore by flotation. There Is a large
tonnage of ore on the dump, which
with the excellent showing of ore in
the mine, together with the favorable
market for antimony, combine to
make the outlook bright for the COM
pany. In it's metal market review Of
September IS the Engineering and
Mining Journal has this to say of an

"The market was firm at 14@14Rc

quiries in the market and it is doubt
