SHIPS FROM MINERAL POINT.
We'll Known osburn Property Sends
Car to SmeIter,

A shipment of hand sorted ore went
out from the Mineral Point this week.
the result of several weeks work by
leasers, Fred Stoerck we'll known
Coeur d Alene miner, and associates,
took lease on the property a few
months ago and after doing consider
able preliminary work started stoping
on the ore shoot. The ore is the char
acteristic dry ore of the Evolution
district, carrying high silver values
Mr.. Stoerck estimates the car will run
close to so ounces to the ton in the
white metal with a corresponding
value in lead. Four men are employ
ed in the lease and work is now under
way for a second car, which the op-
orators expect to have ready within
the next two or three weeks.

LEAD MARKET SHOWS
STRONG UPWARD TREND
AN ADVANCE OF FIFTY CENTS is
SHOWN DURING PAST
MONTH.

The price of lead has advanced so
cents during the past month, the mar
'ket now standing strong at $7.35 and
$745. This gives an increase of more
than one dollar during the current
year and means, if maintained, the
addition of several million dollars to
the gross output of the Coeur
d'Alenes.
The silver market holds firm around
$1.33 with demand for the white
metal far in excess of the visible
supply No single factor has played
such an important part in stimulating
prospecting over the Occur dAlenes
as has the high price offered for sill
yer. Lead now apparently will COM
mand more attention than usual, the
two combined offering an incentive
for prospect and development work in
this district not experienced for many
years in the past.

NEW CALEDONIA.
Kellogg Men Plan to Develop Prop
erty Near Big Producer.

The New Caledonia Mining com
pany at Kellogg, expects to begin ac-
tive work on its property shortly af-
ter the first of the year. according to
the officers of the company who are
now lining up the development pro-
gram. A survey of the holdings of
the company is now under way and
as soon as possible application for
patent will be made.
The claims adjoin the famous Gale
donia on the north. Considerable de-
velopment work has already been ac-
complished which has disclosed a
promising lead carrying values in sill
yer and lead. George Decker, well

Six Thousand Tons of Arsenic.

The white arsenic produced in the
United States in 1918 amounted 10
6323 short tons, valued at $1,2lS'ooo'
BY far the greater part OF the domes-
tic white arsenic consumed In the
United States in 1918 was used IN
preparing insecticides and weed Kill
ers, the total quantity so used in 1913
being about 100000 pounds, accord
ing to the United States geological
survey, department of the interior
Nearly 100000 pounds was used in
the glass industry, and a small guam
tity in the preparation Of drugs.

lies mostly in the drainage DaSln OF
Pine creek, which covers an area OF
approximately 80 square miles, COM
prsing parts of TIPS. AZ and 4S N,
Ranges / and e. Pine creek flows
north from the junction of its east and
west forks to the South Fork OF the
Occur d'Alene river. Denver, Stew
|art and Trapper creeks are tributar-
les of the East Fork of Pine creek,
and Ross Fork and Langlois gulch are
tributaries of the West Fork. Gov
ernment and Deadwood gulches drain
the northeastern part of the area,
Little Pine creek drains the north
central part and French gulch drains
small basin west of Pine creek.
Relief-The region is mountainous,
and the maximum relief is about 1000
feet At the eastern edge of the area
an outlier of Kellogg peak is 62O6 feet
above sea level, and Pine creek valley
at the northern boundary is approx
mately 1900 feet above the sea- The
altitude of Wieserman peak, in section
80, T. 4S n, r. / E., as determined by
the aneroid barometer, is 5000 feet and
the altitude of the west peak of Twin
Crags, in section 3S, T. AZ N, r. E.,
| is 6150 feet. These peaks are on out
lying spurs from the divide between
the drainage systems of Occur dAlene
and st. Joe rivers. Where Pine creek
emerges from its canyon, two miles
from the mouth of the stream, the
maximum relief of the adjacent hills
is about 500 feet.
Conditions Affecting Mining.
| The Pine creek district is favorably
situated for the development of it's re-
sources. A dense forest growth of
pine. fir, cedar and tamarack, much
of 1t suitable for use in mining, COW
ers large part of the Pine creek ba-
sim Water Is abundant for milling,
but the stream flow is insufficient for
the development of power. Power
can readily be purchased, however,
from the Washington Water Power
company, which has branch lines to
the Hypotheek, Highland-Surprise,
and Constitution mines.
The shipping point Of mines on Pine
creek at the time when the field work
was done was Pine creek station on
the Coeur dAlene branch of the Ore
gon Washington Railroad & Naviga-
tion company's line, which follows the
valley of Coeur d'Alene river. In
1917 railroad surveys were made from
Pine creek station up Pine creek to
the Highland Surprise mine. on Stew
art creek, and to the Constitution
mine, on the east fork of Pine creek
Each mine Is about miles distant
|by wagon road from the station, and
the Northern Light, Little Pittsburg
Naibob and Douglas mines are from
to Sk miles from the station. The
construction of the Pine creek branch
was begun in the fall Of 1917, but af-
tier several miles of grade had beer
built the work was suspended in 1918
It is expected, however, that the work
will be resumed In the near future

report and was assisted in the field
work by J. b. Umpleby, both we'll

carried out in May and July, 1916, but
owing to the demands made upon the

Much Work Since Report.
Since the report was compiled the
Pine creek mines have greatly in
creased their production and carried
on extensive development work which
revealed ore bodies far in excess of
anything examined by Messrs. Um-
pleby and Jones during their field
work In fact, under the stimulus of
railroad building and the promise of
rail transportation for the ores of the
district, Pine creek mines made more
of an advance in the last three years
than they had made in many years
previous. It is a big district, cover
ing 80 square miles, yet in its infan-
cy, and under proper encouragement,
both from a transportation standpoint
and the investment of sufficient cap
ital to bring many Of the promising
prospects to the producing stage, will
become one of the great factors in the
ore production column of the Coeur
d'Alenes.
Great Tonnage Available.
| 1T is interesting to note that one
year from the date of the investiga'
ton of the district by these eminent
biologists, a careful survey of the
tonnage in sight in nine of the pro.
ducing mines of the Pine creek dis
trict revealed a total Of 557, 900 tons
of crude ore. The owners stated the
crude ore would mill into 1, making
11O, 900 tons of concentrates then in
sight. At that time five properties
were equipped with concentrators,
with a combined capacity Of 500 tons
daily. A total of II companies were
equipped to use electric power. sup

TvHE GRADUAL extension Of
the pronounced ore bearing
zones Of the Occur d'Alenes
into the more remote Sec
tions of the district and a
realization that big mineral de-
posits are likely to be uncovered there
under proper development consti-
tutes one of the pleasing parts of the
reports of prospectors who have had
the courage to forsake beaten paths
and go into uninviting fields.
Both to the south and the north Of
the Occur dAlene valley, along which
the greater portion of the big produc-
ers are now located, lies an immense
territory not even yet prospected in a
preliminary way. During the past
summer some of the more venture
some of the old-timers made some To-
cations in these sections and their re-
ports will do much to stimulate fur
ther exploration during the next sea-
son. Especially will the high price
for metals prove an incentive for the
prospector to assert himself again
and renew an occupation which, for
the past few years, has had little to
age
Silver Lode to Work.
The recent organization of the Sill
yer Lode Mining and Milling company
to develop a new find on Slate creek,
south of Wallace, is an evidence that
some prospecting is under way in
sections considerably remote from the
usually accepted mineral belts. Re-
ports from the new find state that
galena ore, rich in silver, has been
found on the surface and that a vein
averaging from Is to 20 feet in width
has been traced by surface outcrop-
pings for a distance of 5000 feet. The
property lies south of Wallace some
nine miles, on the ST. Joe slope, and
is said to lie in a belt of easily recog-
I niZed quartZite formation. The
country there Is said to be rugged,
with great outcroppings along IRON
capped ledges Evidences Of heavy
faulting and disturbances are visible
Ibut no work sufficient to demonstrate
the real condition of the district at
depth has as yet been accomplished.
The Silver Lode owners announce
program of development for the
spring that will result in a systematic
prospecting of large area of miner
allied ground.
District Heavily Timbered.
The Slate creek district is heavily
timbered and prospecting has been
difficult until the past few seasons
when the forest fires swept that way
and cleared the underbrush from the
timber and laid bare the sidehills
Placer creek and Slate creek are
both tributary to the Wallace district
and the encouragement of better
transportation facilities should be
matter for all interested in the exten-
sion Of the producing area to unite
upon. The development Of ore tom
image in such district as that would
be a prominent factor in attracting
the attention of such railroads as the
Milwaukee to seek a route for a feed
er to it's main line and thereby hasten
| the advancement of net work of
rail lines covering all sections of the
Occur d'Alenes.
