Will Drift West.

An assessment has been levied at
this time to provide funds for doing
our annual assessment work requir-
ed by law, and in order to begin work
early in the spring, so that plenty of
water will be available for power. The
Bullion mine has arranged to begin
work at the same time. Their work
win consist Of continuing the drift
east while we will drift west Both
faces Of the drift are in milling ore
with some clean ore along with it.
Work will be started in the main
tunnel, 1900 feet from the portal. There
is about 1000 feet depth on the vein
at this point. The Bullion has extern
sive work planned for the coming year
and the management desires to do the
work for the Copper Chief while we
have power sufficient for both COM
panies. Both companies win use the
same equipment.
The vein above referred to is,
believe, the one that the Bullion and
Copper Chief expected to find at about
23OO feet from the portal, but did not
locate with the crosscut tunnel After
doing about 1900 feet additional work,
the Bullion company cut the vein. This
work, on a course southeast, found the
ore in place under the ore in No. ?
tunnel, about $50 feet below the No. 3
To the west Of the present face, the
vein is cut and thrown to the south by
a dyke 10 feet wide, and believe that
the work which the Bullion expects to
begin March 1st will prove my theory
that the vein at 1900 feet is te same
as the one on which the Bullion has
been drifting and which they now have
in the face of the long tunnel. If this
theory is not correct. then the Copper
Chief has another vein in its ground
which must be located later on.
Il may say, in closing that the Bull
lion company has been in commercial
ore. with the drift above referred to,
for a distance Of approximately 10
feet, with ore still in the face"

James H. Taylor, manager Of the
Copper Chief Mining company, has is
sued a letter to the stockholders out
lining plans for a resumption of work
at an early date. The Copper Chief
and the Bullion are joining properties
on the same vein and the two are be-
ing developed through a crosscut

spective local national SOCIETIES? The
change for these new Corners to our
country has been very great. For
generations their forebears have
lived the same restricted and narrow
old world life. Their disappointment
in some respects must be real. Like
the children of Israel Of old. they
looked forward to land flowing with
milk and honey and other beverages
to which they have been long accus-

flowing but water, Tanlac and wood
alcohol. They leave land ruled by
the mailed fist and find one ruled
largely by the petticoat. They find great
strictions in others, but to live ana

too.

partially block and choke the great
process of Americanization that has

BIG CREEK MILL WILL
START ABOUT MARCH |
FORCE INCREASED TO RUSH
COMPLETlON-BEG WORK
IN THE MINE.

The management of the Big Greek
Mining company is now directing all
efforts toward the completion of the
concentrating plant, together with the
outside features essential to its sue
cessful operation, such as terminal ore
bins for the tramway under construc-
ton, fumes, and changes in the mine
to meet the requirements of enlarged
operations. The main tunnel will be
equipped with several new ore cars
with the view to making a train that

by horse power. G. Scott Anderson,
president and manager of the Big
Creek company, stated this week that
he had placed q small force of men
in the mine for the purpose of length

facilities for providing mill feed from
the ore reserves, the intention being
to run the mill to its full capacity
continuously, twenty four hours a day
Start Mill March I.
The Big Creek mill, with it's modern
and improved machinery, is attracting
unusual attention. This is due in part
to the fact that it is the first mill
that has been constructed on Big
creek, a section famous for its high
grade silver ore. But among mining
men and all others who are familiar
with milling operations in the Occur |
d'Alene district, the interest lies |
chiefly in the character of the product |
that the mill will turn out, for the ore /
from the Big Greek mine carries eX- /
eeptionally high values in silver and /
ead, is absolutely free of zinc, and /
contains nothing Of a refractory ma
lure. conditions that justify the ex-
oectation of a remarkably clean and (
nigh grade concentrate. The manage
rent hopes to have the plant in opera
ion by the beginning of the coming
month, and with that end in view the
'orce engaged in the mechanical and
general work has been increased. the
purpose being to complete the plant
ust as soon as it can be done and
lone properly.

Generally speaking the ore is practic-

Litigation.

Rumors have been heard that a
settlement of the pending apex litiga-

and Hecla would be settled out of
court but it has been impossible to
find any basis for these reports. The

Gates that no settlement is in sight
No further action has been taken in
court upon the application of the
Gertie company for an order permit
