The West Hunter Mining company

who has long been a heavy stockhold-
er in the company and who Is now
manager. Mr. Cosgrove was in the
city yesterday and stated that one
shift is now employed on the prop
erty. BY the first of May he states
that air pipe will be placed in the
tunnel and water blast installed
which will provide good air and en-
able the company to work three
shifts. Interesting details regarding
the property and plans for its devel-
opment are given in a circular letter
issued by Mr.. Cosgrove under date OF
April 10. The letter follows:
"The company was organized under
the laws of the state of Idaho in 1915,
and owns one patented and nine un-
patented claims, one and one-fourth
miles north of Mullan on good wag-
on road and lying directly between
the Morning mine, on its west end
line, and the Gold Hunter mine on its
east end line and traversed its full
length of 5000 feet by the Morning
vein on which the following work has
been done: For the purpose of tracing
and identifying the ledge there have
been made upon the surface large
number of open cuts and shallow
shafts There are two tunnels. No. l
is in 800 feet and No. 600 feet to the
face. Treasury stock was sold at 7c
per share and about $50 feet of work
was done up to last year, when, ow-
ing to the lack of funds and war con-
ditions, it became necessary to sus-
pend the work. The No. tunnel Is
In excellent condition, well timbered
equipped with track car, hand steel,
blacksmith shop and other buildings

ed the West Hunter will be one of the
valuable properties Of the Occur
d'Alenes.
From my knowledge of this fam
GUS mining district and particularly
of the West Hunter group Of claims,
surrounded by great lead mines, l feel
that the holders of West Hunter min
ing stock, in a reasonable time and
with a reasonable amount Of devel-
opment accomplished, will be reward
ed with handsome returns upon their
investment. And I earnestly advise al!
shareholders not to part with their
stock without first visiting the mine
and learning, first hand, the merits OF
the property. You will be kept fully
advised and may expect important in
formation at an early date.
