|DAHO.CARBONATE HILL
SIX FEET OF GOOD ORE
SHOOT PROVED FOR rs FEET AND
IMPROVES AS DRIFT Ex-
TENDS WEST.

A brief visit to the Idaho Carbon
ate Hill Tuesday morning made it
clearly evident that the report of the
strike published in this paper last
week was not overdrawn. In fact,
the showing of ore is better than de-
scrlbed, and subsequent development
has proved continuous ore body five
feet wide for rs feet. After cutting
the vein drifting was started easterly
and in about 80 feet the amount of
ore greatly decreased, but did not go
out entirely. Thereupon work was
transferred to the crosscut and drift
ing started west with a full face OF
ore. This has now been extended As
or so feet, and if there has been any
change in that distance it is an i'm
provement. Tuesday morning by ac-
tual measurement the face of the drift
was six feet wide, all excellent mill
feed, with streaks and punches of
clean galena. In the old Carbonate
Hill tunnel a winZe was sunk in ore,
much of which is now piled on the
dump making fine exhibit Of high
grade lead-silver. The drift to the
west will pass under this splendid
showing in the winze and it is there
fore reasonable to expect the ore to
be continuous in that direction and
also to improve in grade Altogether
the showing disclosed is highly graf
flying, particularly since 1t has been
made in a section that has long been
handicapped by more or less doubt as
to its mineral merits. The develop
ment of the Carbonate Hill up to date
represents a large expenditure and 1t
is an enterprise that deserves the
highest measure Of success.
Has Large Holdings.
The Idaho Carbonate Hill Consoli-
dated Mining company owns "a claims
which aggregate over 500 acres. The
holdings of the company extend from
Willow creek, the scene Of the present
south of Mullan. The ground of the
company surrounds the old Central
mine, but does not include it. The
Central consists of less than full
claim and the control Of 1t was ac-
quired by the Greenoughs many years
ago. In the opinion of Earl Green
ough, manager of the Idaho Carbonate
Fill and the engineer who planned
and directed the development Of the
property, the holdings are traversed
by three distinct mineral zones, the
Carbonate Hill, the Idaho Giant and
the Central, and the last two promise
TO show results equally as gratifying
al that which has now been disclosed
or the Carbonate Hill.
Model Boarding House.
No one who visits the Carbonate
Hill and is fortunate enough to be
around at meal time can fail to be at
tracted by the clean, orderly and well
provisioned boarding house. This Is
conducted for the company by Mrs. c
A J. Brooks. The menu contains ar
astonishing variety, cooked and serv-
ed in a manner to tempt the appetite
The kitchen Is marvel of cleanli.
ness, and adjacent to 1t Is a cellal
stocked with fresh and cured meats
canned goods. etc, all Of the best and
most expensive brands.

STERLING SILVER CO.
STARTS DEEP TUNNEL
PROPERTY IN HEART OF FAMOUS
SILVER SECTION OF THE
DISTRICT.

Active development work is now un-
Sterling Silver Mountain Mining COM
pany, located on Big creek, in Evolu-
tion district Harry Morrell, well
known mining man of the Occur
6'Alenes, is in charge of the work and
plans to continue operations steadily
throughout the fall and winter. A
lower crosscut tunnel which will
reach the first vein in about 800 feet
will be reached in about 500 feet, the
latter showing values in silver and
copper at grass roots, with an ex-
posed width of 20 feet. Drifting on
they are reached and the drift contin
ued to a point beneath the surface
showing when a depth of 500 feet will
be attained.
Has Rich Neighbors.
The formation is quartzite and the
ledge Is characteristic Of the high
grade silver veins Of the Big creek
district. The property is close to the
well known Yankee Boy mine, from
which the highest silver values found
in the district have been taken. The
Big Creek Mining company's property
Is also near the Sterling Silver group,
the Big Creek company now being en-
gagged in the erection Of concentra-
tor with which to handle the large
tonnage Of mill feed available in the
slopes from which many cars Of hand
sorted ore have been shipped during
the past summer.
With the great demand existing for
silver, the Big creek district is at
tracing unusual attention at this time
ard from the development work now
under way some new silver producers
are expected to join the shipping
ranks in the near future.
Acquire Additional Ground.
1t was learned last night that the
Sterling Silver company had secured
four additional claims, making {
group Of seven, and also a desirable
millsite. In view of the remarkabl,
record of high grade silver produc
ton on the adjacent properties, tn,
holdings Of this company must pos
sess wonderful possibilities and full,
justify the energetic development tha
is now under way. The tunnel tina
is now being run starts just ia
enough above the creek to allow ann
Pile dump room and the depth tha
will be attained Is measured by tn
height Of the great mountain it pene
trates.
The Sterling Silver company is Il
the hands of well known Coeu
d'Alene men which insures practice
and intelligent management. The mai
office of the company is at 1923 Lin
delle block, Spokane.

The discovery of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan marked the beginning of the
lead mining industry in the Occur
dAlenes. That was in 1885 and from
that date ore shipments have been 60
ing forward and in steadily increas-
ing volume. First the ore was hauled
crude from the dumps in Milo gulch
far above the town of Wardner to
the little narrow guage railroad at
Wardner Junction; then came the
little mill in the same locality and the
concentrates were disposed of in the
same manner This was followed by
the large mill below Kellogg and an
aerial tramway conveyed the ore
from the mine to the mill. Develop
ment of the wonderful ore body soon
proved these facilities inadequate to
the task and the great Kellogg tunnel
followed, which eventually resulted in
transferring the seat of operations to
Kellogg. Another mill was construct
ed to handle the enormous and ever
increasing tonnage. After 80 years
o. steady expansion and output, this
remarkable mine had not reached the
peak Of production.

An Assuring Statement for
Those Apprehensive of
Future of Mining

"The Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine is now "a years old and
$500 feet deep, vertically below the
outcrop, and is still a young and
vigorous mine. Indeed, ! believe
that the showing Of ore on the
18th or deepest level is as good as,
If not better, than any level In the
mine since Kellogg and his jack.

1t was about this time that the
company took up the question of
building smelter to handle the ores
OF the Bunker Hill & Sullivan and
other ores of the district. modern
plant was constructed at an initial
cost of $2,000,000 this chiefly for the
purpose Of meeting the requirements
or a mine that had been producing an
enormous tonnage for more than 80
years. No stronger proof could have
been submitted as an evidence Of the
large ore reserves, and no finer or
more convincing evidence can be pro-
duced to prove the permanence and
extent of Coeur d'Alene lead-silver
deposits. This view Is now again
confirmed by the personal investiga-
ton of one Of the leading mining en-
gineers Of the country. A mine "a
years old and still young and vigor-
GUS, with more ore on the deepest
level than has ever been disclosed
above! Cheer up, you timid souls
who have been losing sleep for fear
the mines would play out and leave
you stranded in an abandoned mining
district. Our great industry will con-
tinue to spread prosperity in the
Occur d'Alenes and add new wealth to
the world throughout the lives Of
babes yet unborn.

vESTERDAY AFTERNOON
~ committees composed of form
er employees Of the Hecla, Her
cules and Interstate Callahan
Mining companies called upon the
managers of the respective companies
and conferred on the strike situation.
The committees did not submit any
new proposal for the settlement OF
the strike, their purpose evidently be-
ing To enter into a general discussion
with the view to reaching some COM
mon ground for an agreement that
would lead to an early resumption OF
work in the mines. The several con-
ferences are understood to have been
of the most friendly nature, but were
without result so far as bringing the
parties to the controversy together Is
concerned. There was apparently no
disposition to make material conces-
sicns on either side the mine mana
gers stating that their position could
not be changed from that heretofore
stated and which is embodied IN the
"gentlemens agreement The com
nittee seems to have had no substan-
tial concessions to offer and the con-
ferences ended with the situation un-
changed A meeting of the Burke
miners union was held last night to
receive the reports of the committees.
When asked this morning regarding
the result of the meeting, Secretary
Villeneuve stated that no action was
taken that would change the strike
situation for the present. Asked for
further information regarding the
strike, Mr.. Villeneuve jokingly repleo
that in view Of the reputation ne had
been given by General McWade, 1t
would probably be best for him to re-
frain from making any statement for
publication at this time.

l|NFOR COPPER CO.
SOON IN OPERATION
WELL DEVELOPED PROPERTY Is
EQUIPPED FOR PROFIT
ABLE PRODUCTION.

The Linfor Copper company, which
was organized a few months ago and
has taken over the property formerly
owned by the Empire Copper COM
pany, expects to be in position to be-
gin operations within few weeks.
Delay has been caused by legal en-
tanglements in connection with the
old company. These have now been
worked out. all claims against the
old company paid, and the company
will soon have men on the job pre-
pairing to place the mine and mill in
shape for production. The property
consists of five claims, two of which
are patented, mill. compressor, board
ing and bunk houses and all necessary
equipment for operation. The mill is
we'll constructed and was designed to
have daily capacity Of $50 tons. In
practice, however, it would handle
only 65 tons. This could be remedied
by increasing the crushing capacity
and adding concentration tables to
secure a better classification of con-
centrates. The property is opened by
a shaft sunk from the upper or Car
Donate tunnel and from which raise
was made to the surface, where the
hoist Is located. Levels have been
opened at 100, 200, $50 and $50 feet
depth.
Values in Copper.
After a recent examination Of the
mine, William Beaudry, president of
the company and former manager of
the Stewart, stated in his report tina;
the only available ground for stopping
was between the $50 and $50 levels.
Samples taken along the back of the
$50 level showed values ranging from
to Is per cent copper over width
Of four feet, while samples from the
bottom of the 25O level for a distance
Of so feet returned from 3 to per
cent over a width Of 3R feet. During
the period from October 1915, to Oc-
tober, 1917, under the operation of the
Empire company, 10 carloads of crude
ore averaging 426 per cent were ship
ped which gave a net return Of $3331.
During the same period AZ carloads
Of concentrates were shipped averag-
ing II per cent copper which gave a
net return of $4,000. making a total
Of $100,335. Mr.. Beaudry makes vari-
Gus recommendations for the develop
ment of the mine and improvement OF
the mill, and adds that II these are
carried out "and the mining opera
tions carefully handled, it is my opin
ion that the property could earn from
SIS, 900 to 100000 month net for div
idends at the present price of copper
which is % cents"
The property of the Linfor company
is situated on the Little North Fork
five miles from the station Of Linfol
on the Murray branch, with which II
is connected by a good wagon road
The officers and directors Of the com
pany are William Beaudry, president
John F. Murphy, vice president; c. 2
eelig, secretary treasurer. Thes'
with Alfred Page and r. Zindme
constitute the board Of directors.

At the weekly luncheon OF the boaro
of trade last Monday General Robert
M. McWade, conciliation commission
er representing the department OF
labor, gave his views Of the strike SIT
uation. He came here before the
strike was called and used every ell
fort to prevent it through friendly
agreement between the operators ana
employees. Failing in this, he has re-
mained here and continued MS eHorts
to effect settlement. In his speech
before the board of trade General
Mcwade charged that the strike was
called through the influence of Presi-
dent Ryan and Secretary Villeneuve'

one originating with Mullan union No.
and was presented to the operators
through General McWade. The agree

"5. Cases of grave disputes, such
as changes in wages, to be discussed
with General McWade and superm-
tendent or manager of the mine, WITH
view to amicaIble settlement.
IS. This agreement is made direct
