WASHINGTON CUTS
PROMISING VEIN
SHOWS STRONG STRlNGER OF
GALENA HEAVILY MINERAL
lied THROUGHOUT.

The crosscut on the washington
struck the vein last week and pene-
trated it about four feet, at which
point the contract was completed and
work was suspended for the winter.
The company is we'll pleased with the
showing in the vein as far as disclos-
ed. 1t is mineralized throughout and
there is streak of galena, iron and
quartz two or three inches wide that
promises to lead to an important ore
shoot. Along the wall there Is a
streak of tale three inches thick that
carries much lead as determined by
panning. 1t is matter Of regret to
the management that work could not
be continued at this time. as it is
probable that additional ore will be
found before the other wall is reach
ed, and the showing now indicates
that drift will soon develop an ore
shoot. The crosscut is IT'S feet in
length and cut the vein at depth
from the surface of $50 feet. In the
upper tunnel there is about 10 inches
of nice ore, galena and carbonate.
Drive Lower Tunnel.
Owing to the possible hardship that
an assessment would impose on some
stockholders at this time, and the
fact that there is about two feet of
snow at the camp which renders it
difficult to take in supplies, 1t was de-
cided to suspend operations until
spring. 1t is then proposed to con-
tinue the crosscut through the vein
and explore it by drifts. II this work
proves as satisfactory as anticipated,
another tunnel will be driven that will
give about 1000 feet depth. The COM
pany has sufficient stock In the treas
ury to finance this work, and also to
provide a compressor and electric
power. The line of the Montana Pow
er company is only about half a mile

SHERMAN.
Company Adopts Novel Plan to Dis.
pose of Waste.

pose OF waste.
What to do with the waste rock
from the Hidden Treasure tunnel was
a problem confronting the Sherman
Development company when it was
decided to extend that tunnel to the
Union vein, a distance of possibly 900
feet. The portal of the tunnel is
right in the town Of Burke. back Of
the old Tiger mill, which made the
usual dumping arrangement impossi-
BILE. Heretofore the railroad compan-
les have hauled the surplus rock f''rm
Burke mines for nominal charge,
using it for filling in along their
tracks, the lower railroad yards OF
Wallace being made of this material;
but it appears that under government
ownership of railroads this practice
has been discontinued, hence the
Sherman company had to devise
means to overcome the difficulty. The
solution was found in the construc-
ton of a bucket tramway which will
convey the waste rock over the top
of the hill on the opposite side OF the
narrow canyon in which Burke Is sit
uated, dumping it automatically. The
tramway is now being constructed.
The loading station will be on the
north side Of the railroad tracks, just
below the Tiger boarding house.

FRIEND.
Winzs Being Sunk on ore-Hand Jig
Plant in Operation.

William Schierding, Of Spokane,
manager of the Friend Mining COM
pany, came up Monday and visited
the property Of the company on Bea-
yer creek, remaining until yesterday
morning. The Friend company re-
Gently installed a crusher and hand
Jig, by means of which 1t was hoped
to be able to ship concentrates to an
extent that would contribute largely
toward the development of the prop
erty. The plan worked all right, but
in the meantime the market for zinc,
which is the chief value, became de-
pressed to an extent that made it i'm
possible to sell the product at pro-
fit. Fifteen or 20 tons of concentrates
are on hand which Mr.. Schierding
says assay As per cent zinc, IL per
cent lead and s ounces silver. Under
these circumstances hand jigging was
suspended and work is now directed
toward developing the ore body. The
ore shoot is $50 feet in length. vary
ing in width from few inches to
feet zinc generally predominating. On
the west end Of the shoot the ore is
a foot and half wide. mostly lead.
In stopping above this the ore gradual
ly pinched out about 20 feet above the
tunnel, indicating that 1t would con-
tinue to increase In thickness with
depth. Acting upon this theory a
winze Is now being sunk on the ore,
which 1t is proposed to extend 100
feet, when drifts will be run east and
west.

Hecla Drifts on 1000
Big Dividend Rumors

The large station at the 2000
level OF the Hecla is now practic-
ally completed and II is announc-
ed that drifting started on this
level this week. 1t is estimated
that the ore shoot will be reached
in about 1000 feet, although it is
not improbable that ore will be
encountered in less distance. This
level Is 400 feet below the pres
ent lowest workings. and the
proving of the ore shoot at this
depth will make tremendous ad-
dition to the ore reserves of the
mine. The company is maintain
ing its normal production, both
the Gem mill, which handles the
lead-silver ore, and the Federal
leased mill, which handles the
zinc ore, being in steady opera
tion. The company is therefore
making a fine operating profit, ow-
ing to the prevailing high prices
of lead, silver and zinc.
So far as any action taken by
the officials of the company is
concerned, there is nothing to
warrant the persistent rumors of
a 50-cent dividend in December.
]. f. Mccarthy. manager of the
Hecla, states that the govern
ment has reached no decision re-
garding the amount of taxes to be
paid by the company for 1917, and
the levy for 1918, which Is draw
ing to close, is equally uncertain.
Under these circumstances it Is
regarded as not improbable that
the directors will be disposed to
husband the company surplus in
order to be prepared for any
eventuality.

Company Will
Build l5O.ton Mill

The Nabob Consolidated Min
ing company will soon begin the
construction of a mill of $50 tons
capacity. This information was
obtained from William Beaudry
general manager Of the company,
yesterday. This is an enterprise
that has long been contemplated,
and this definite announcement Is
taken as another indication that
Pine creek is soon to have a rail-
road, although Mr.. Beaudry states
that he has no assurance on the
subject: The crosscut from Ma
bob No. 4 to the Denver vein and
raise of $50 feet to connection
with Denver tunnel No has re-
suited in developing large
amount of ore in addition to that
which had already been developed
in the Denver claim. This ore is
combination of lead and zinc,
carrying about 20 per cent Of each
and ounces of silver. No. 1 tun-
mel, 100 feet above No. with
which 1t is connected by raise,
carries a much larger percentage
of zinc. Ore shipments are now
being made from the property. It
is also understood that there is
quite a large amount Of lead ore of
good milling grade in the Nabob
workings. No. tunnel, which is
the outlet for both the Denver and
Nabob, Is connecting with the
loading station on the line of the
proposed railroad by gravity
tramway, the one that was FORM
erly used by the Stewart company.
The control of the Nabob COM
pany is held by the Stewart Min
ing company. 1t is expected that
construction of the mill will begin
within the next week or two.

PINE CREEK RAILROAD
HANDLE LARGE TONNAGE
CONDITIONS MORE FAVORABLE
FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION
BUILD THIS WINTER.

About As men are now employed in
repairing the washed out track on
Pine creek, and while no new infor
nation has been received on the sub
ject, 1t Is evident that the belief is
becoming quite general that when this
repair work Is completed. the con-
struction of the line will go forward
and that the branch will be completed
| to the Constitution. OF course the
rebuilding of this two and a quarter
miles of track alone would be of ma
terial assistance to the Nabob by re-
ducing the wagon haul of ore almost
half, and to a less extent in proper
tion to distance it would benefit other
companies having ore to ship, but II
would not be sufficient encourage
ment to induce shipments and would
therefore be of comparatively little
advantage to the Pine creek district
as a whole. Railroad companies long
ago established the habit of waiting
until late in the fall or early winter
to begin construction work in this
district, and now that cold and dis
agreeable weather may be expected,
the construction of this line would be
true to form.
Labor More Plentiful.
The construction of the Pine creek
branch last summer was prevented by
the high cost of material and diff
Guilty to secure men for the work. In
bid to complete the work was 50 high
that it's acceptance was out Of the
question, and the matter of building
the Pine creek branch was abandoned
until the return Of more favorable
conditions. Upon his return from the
east few days ago ex-senator Tur-
ner stated that he had received as
surances that the line would be built
without further delay, and coincident
with his return work started repair
ing the track Thousands of men will
soon be released from military service,
situation that will make it's influ-
ence felt in relieving the labor short
age, and 1t is reasonable to expect a
substantial decrease in the cost of
material used in construction. Under
these circumstances 1t is believed that
upon the completion of the repair
work now going on, construction will
proceed either under contract or by
the company direct. The right Of way
has been cleared to a point above
Beeler, more than half the distance,
Much Tonnage Available.
The tonnage that will be immedi-
ateiy available upon the completion Of
the Pine creek railroad is not mat
ter of speculation. There Is the Con-
s.itution with a 150-ton mill and a
lLrge amount of ore blocked out on
both the tunnel and shaft levels. The
Douglas was steady shipper under
the Ana conda lease and the mine Is
now in shape for immediate and
steady production. The Nabob is
shipping now and is preparing to in
crease its output. The Highland Sur
Prise is equipped with 2O0-ton mill
and there is much ore accessible in
the mine. There are. numerous near
shippers on Pine creek, which require
only the encouragement that will come
with railroad transportation to place
them on productive basis.
