A. L. Thurston of Deborgia Returns
After Successful Operation.
Friends of A. L. Thurston, of De-
borgia, Mont, were greatly pleased to
greet him this week upon his return
from Chicago where he submitted to
an operation for the removal of a
cancer from his throat. The opera
ton is pronounced successful in every
respect by the specialists who per-
formed it, and they complimented Mr.
Thurston upon his nerve in passing
through the ordeal. The operation
vas performed without administering
an anaesthetic. The wound healed so
satisfactorily and without the slight
est indication of a remnant of the
disease that it was decided not to
treat it with radium, as was original
ly intended fearing that it might
cause irritation and thereby introduce
complications Mr.. ThurstOn is man
ager of the Valentine Mining company
which is developing a property near
Deborgia, and he expects to take
charge of the work within a few days.

they are to live. So with the posi-
bility of an immediate change along
these lines it should not be many days
until conditions are again normal.
1.-THE operators, both large and
small, are exceptionally fortunate in
having at their disposal a more COM
plete stock and efficient service than
can be found in any of the large cit
les supplying the mining trade. The
plant, equipment and stock carried and
new developments, such as their hoist
and slime pumps make the Coeur
d'Alene Hardware & Foundry com
pany one of the large assets of the
district.
1.-THE courtesy good will and kindly
feeling shown by everyone in the dis
trict is greatly appreciated and was
such that it will be long remembered"

Locally the Outlook
is Decidedly
Brighter
SOME OF THE REASONS
Better Price for Lead--Mines
May Resume---Lead and
Zinc Assured Protection

WV HILE THERE mas been no
N.Y. material change in the To-
wv cal situation so far as min
ing operations are concern
ed. there has nevertheless been a
change in the attitude of the people
during the past few weeks toward
business conditions and the outlook
for the immediate future. This
change is entirely of an optimistic
nature and is in itself an important
factor in bringing about better times
This change is not merely a mental
process without tangible facts to JUS
ury it, The prosperity of the Occur
.dAlene district depends solely upon
the profitable operation of the mines.
and a change in metal prices that
changes loss into gain can not fail to
have a corresponding influence upon
the spirits of the people dependent
upon the mining industry. That is
just what has happened to the oper-
ating mines in this district. The past
few weeks has seen the price of lead
advance from 4 cents per pound to 5,
with conditions favorable for further
advance in the price of the metal.
This not only means that the mines
now producing will continue and pos
sibly increase their output but 1t
means that mines now idle will soon
be productive again. and that devei-
opment enterprises will take courage
to continue their efforts to find new
mines. Two months ago the predic-
ton was practically unanimous that
no substantial Improvement in the
mining situation could be expected
this year; today the reverse is true,
and it is conceded that conditions are
actually better and confidence Is gen
orally expressed that the improve
ment viii continue throughout the
year.

MONEY NOW AVAILABLE
TO MAKE MINE OF WILSON
CROSSCUT SHOULD CUT VEIN
WITHIN 500 FEET-EXPECT
ORE BODY.

William Burke, of Saltese. was in
the city the first of the week, return
ing home Tuesday morning Mr..
Burke is president of the Wilson Mi
ming & Smelling company which
owns a large group or claims on Sill
yer creek, about two and u half miles
from Saltese, and he is looking for
ward with much confidence to the re-
suits OF development work as planned
for this year He has been working
on the property all winter and made
considerable progress in extending a
crosscut in spite of difficulties and
delays due to heavy snow. The Will
son group of claims contains two
strong veins. one is copper and bears
a strong resemblance to the st. Law
renee. The other is a lead vein upon
which much development was done
many years ago and upon which a
remarkably fine showing of ore was
exposed The tunnel in which this
showing was made gained very little
depth and burning the timbers in the
great forest fire of 1910 cause it to
cave. There was nothing to be gain
ed by reopening this tunnel, so an
other tunnel was started that will
give fully zoo feet depth
Money for Development.
Mr.. Burke has been making some
progress in the development of the
property but has been badly handi-
capped through lack OF funds. He
said that the work during the winter
had advanced the crosscut until there
was not to exceed 500 feet to go to
reach the vein, and the best part of
the situation is that funds are now
forthcoming to speed up the work and
carry it to completion. Last year
Charles A. Mayer a wealthy citizen
of WATERFOWL, S. d., spent several
days in the Saltese district and made
a thorough inspection of the Wilson

now on his way to Saltese, coming in
his motor car and accompanied by his
family, his purpose being to remain
az the Wilson property during the
summer and give his attention to it's
development. He is accompanied by
two other gentlemen from Water
town who are understood to have TAX
an considerable Wilson stock It is
evident that money is now available
to extend the crosscut to the lead vein
and carry out such development plan
as may appear to be desirable

IDAHO NORTHERN.
Work Still Confined to Upper Tunnel
Near Second Vein.


Near Second Vein.
o. NJ Nordquist, manager of the
Idaho Northern Mining company op-
Grating on Butte creek, near Murray,
states that owing to the bad condi-
ton of the road due to continuous
rains and high water, work will prob
ably not begin on the new deep cross
cut until some time in June. In the
meantime two men are employed in
the upper tunnel drifting on a vein to
the point of intersection Of another
and larger vein. Mr.. Nordquist ex-
hbited samples of galena taken from
the face of the drift, and he stated
that the second vein should be reach
ed in about so feet When this is ac-
complished all work VIII be transfer
red to the new crossctt, which will
reach the vein at a depth of 1000 feet
below the upper tunnel.

still another element that brightens
the outlook is the fact that lead is
included in the anti-dumping bill
which is scheduled to pass soon and
which viii effectualIy keep foreign
lead out of the domestic market I'M
til the new tariff bill passes and be-
comes a law. 1t is of course under
stood that the new tariff bill will
provide ample protection for the lead
and zinc mining industries. With this
accomplished, and with the steady in
crease in building and other opera
tons that consume lead and zinc,
thus providing a steady demand for
the metals, it is evident that the out
look justfes the optimistic change
that is noted in the attitude of oper-
ators and those dependent upon the
mining industry.

TRAsK GOES EAST.
Will Confer With Associates in Belle

OF the west company.
George r. Trask, manager Of the
Relic of the West Mining company
left yesterday for New York, where
he was called for a conference with
his associates in this important de-
velopment enterprise. The Belle Of
the West company owns a group of
claims joining the Success on the
west, and under the direction of Mr.
Trask a remarkably promising show
ing was recently exposed in a crosscut
to the vein and which has shown
steady improvement as drifting ex-
tended westerly along the hanging
wall. The crosscut proved the vein
to be 20 feet wide, with considerable
ore also along the footwall In spite
Of contrary opinions, Mr. Trask is
convinced that his work proves be-
yond question that the Belle Of the
West is identical with the Success. He
is much pleased with the showing de-
veloped and says that all conditions
are right for a large ore body. Tt is
probable that a compressor will be
put i'm soon after his return from the
east in order to speed up the work

HIGHLAND Surprise CO.
HAS MUCH ORE IN SIGHT
LETTER TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
OUTLINES PLANS-ESTIM-
ATES OF THE COSTS.

Development work on the High
land Surprise, on Pine creek, has
been resumed under the direction of
NJ. j. Sinclair, and it is believed that
the results of plans to be carried out
will make available a large tonnage
of ore and that improved metal con-
ditiOns and lower mining costs will
enable the company to operate its
mill a little later in the season. Like
all other Pine creek properties the
Highland Surprise is handicapped by
long haul to the railroad. How
ever it does not seem possible that
relief in this respect can be much
longer delayed after a normal de-
mand for the metals has been restOr-
ed The Highland Surprise, Nabob,
Douglas and Constitution are in pO-
sition to make regular shipments,
while the sensational discovery on
the Sidney places that property also
in the shipping list. With numerous
other properties on the verge of hav-
ing shipping ore. there should be no
difficulty in securing railroad trans
portatiOn for Pine creek as soon as
the prices of metals become fixed on
a permanent and profitable basis,
condition that now seems to be rap
idly approaching.
Good Ore Showing in Highland.
The directors of the Highland
Surprise company met in Kellogg last
week and levied an assessment Of
mills to provide for development
work and also prepared a budget
showing the expense to be incurred.
The plans of the company are outlin-
ed in the following letter to the
stockholders from the president, Dr.
Chas. R. Mowery:
AT a meeting of the directors of
your company. held on the 18th day
OF May, 1921, the development work
in the mine planned this year will
consist principally in extending the
raise from No. 3 tunnel to the No
tunnel on the Highland claim, a dis
lance of about $50 feet
AT the top, in this raise which has
been driven a distance of 40 feet |
there is a streak of lead-zinc ore 16 /
inches wide, which will be followed |
until the No. 2 tunnel is reached, |
where there is a large amount of ore |
in sight carrying high values in sill
ver lead and zinc This work when |
will make available enough |
ore to run the mill for a long time, |
and with favorable market condi-
lions, should be source of much
profit in the future.
THE budget for the year 1921 has
been estimated as follows:

RICH TUNGSTEN LEDGE
DEVELOP ONPONY GULCH
DRIFT STARTED WHICH is Elk
PECTED TO SHOW UP A
BIG ORE BODY.

A. b. Ward was over from Pony
gulch last week. where for several
years he has represented the Kennan
Mining company which has a large
group of claims in which important
discoveries of both gold and tungsten
have been made. The ground in
cludes what was formerly known as
the Fay Templeton property. A re-
markedly rich tungsten vein has been
exposed crossing the creek in ground
that was rich in placer gold. In fact
early day placer miners, one Of whom
is Mr.. Ward. recalled being bothered
by a heavy yellOwish substance in
their sluice boxes, having a specific
gravity almost equal to gold, but it
never occurred to any one at that
time that this rare substance had a
commercial value as in truth it did
not have at that time A few years
ago the use of tungsten as an alloy
to harden steel created quite a de-
mand for the metal. when this yell
lowish ore found on Pony gulch and
also on Prichard creek attracted at
tention. Mr. Ward recalled seeing
the mineral on Pony gulch during
placer days, and through him Colonel
Chester T. KEENAN, became interested
and organized the KEENAN, Mining
company for the purpose of seeking
the source from which the tungsten
came, or rather scheelite, for that is
the form of ore in which tungsten is
found

Bio Creek Leasers.

4. d. BurrOw, who with associates
has a lease on the Yankee Boy, was
in the city Tuesday. He reports very
satisfactory progress with his leasing
operations and expects to make a
shipment of high grade early in June.
He estimates that the ore, which is
gray copper should average $50
ounces.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-05-19
Drift on Vein.

The vein was found crossing the
creek under a mass of tailings depos-
tied in the course of placer mining
operations, and proved to be about Is
feet wide, with stringers of clean
scheelite running through it, some Of
which were or s inches thick The
ledge was uncovered as far as practi-
cal on either side of the creek and a
shaft was sunk a short distance to
prospect the vein, which has the ap
pearance of being one of unusual size
and richness. While in Wallace last
week Mr.. Ward said he had started a
tunnel on the vein a short distance
above the creek and he expected that
this would result in developing a large
body of scheelite carrying a high per-
centage of tungsten, and IN that
event steps will be taken to equip the
property fQS shipments. The excess
i've freight rates are the chief OBJ
stacle i'm the way of profitable ship
ments. During the war there was
tremendous demand for tungsten to
be used in the manufacture of arma-
HieHt anu the price was NSlS MS H.
Following the signing of the armis
tice the demand practically ceased
and tungsten mines were forced to
close down. In common with other
metals, tungsten now seems to be
coming back Scheelite carrying 60
per cent or more of tungsten is now
quoted at sS@3.25 per unit delivered
at the Atlantic seaboard. At SO per
unit so per cent scheelite is worth
$3.50 per ton, less freight to the east.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-05-19

Another element in the local stu
alton that helps the immediate out
look is the belief that the Hercules
and Tamarack mines will soon be ac-
tive again. Lead was at 4 cents when
they closed down. and the impression
prevails that when it becomes evil
dent that the higher price of the met
al has come to stay that these two
mines will again be productive. Ru-
mors have persisted during this
month that these mines We're about
to resume but no authoritative in
formation has been given out on the
subject.

Discussing the lead market the
Engineering and Mining Journal OF
May II has this to say, which tends
to justify the better feeling that pre-
walls in this district: THE total vol
ume of lead sold during the last week
has not been quite as great as in
several recent weeks, but neverthe-
less the inquiries, aided by a sold-up
condition on the part of most produc-
ers and stiff weekend advance in
London, caused the sc level to be
reached and passed in the New York
market. A feature of the business
has been the insistent demand, from
large consumers for lead for immedi-
ate shipment indicating that they
have practically no stocks on hand"
