BOARD OF TRADE.
Little Business Transacted at the
Luncheon Yesterday.

Little Business Transacted at the
Luncheon Yesterday.
These are vacation days, a fact that
was reflected in the attitude of the
members of the board of trade at the
weekly luncheon yesterday. Calls for
reports of committees revealed n
members were out of town or had
just returned, resulting in no reports
being submitted, while the nominat-
ing committee reported that the mat
ter of selecting officers for the ensu-
ing year was of such grave import
that another week was desired to
give the matter consideration.
F. +. Stone reported that during
the past week the tourist camp had
accommodated 951 people and 269
cars, making a grand total for the
two weeks the record has been kept
2OO3 people and $50 cars. He reported
that hot wtaer had been piped to the
camp kitchen from the library build
ing and a new sink added. Also that
the city was considering the erection
of a wash room equipped with wash
ing machines.
Father Maloney spoke briefly of the
work of the board of trade and his
pleasure at being a member and par
ticipating in its efforts. He spoke of
the scenic beauty of Wallace and the
Occur d'AIene district, comparing it
favorably with famous pleasure re-
sorts in this and foreign countries
and suggested that the board of trade
could accomplish much toward max
ing this a summer resort by making
known the many attractions of the
district

Morse Returns to San Francisco-To
Return in About Three Weeks.
H. A Morse who recently secured
an option on the Terrible Edith group
of claims near Murray, passed
through Wallace last Saturday on his
way to his home in San Francisco.
He expects to return in about three
weeks. No announcement has been
made regarding his plans for the de-
velopment of the property and it is
not likely that anything will be
known in this respect until his re-
turn The deal on the Terrible-E Edith
is regarded as the most important
that has been made on the North Side
for many months. for it is understood
that Mr.. Morse represents large min
ing interests and is prepared to pro-
coed at once with the extensive devel-
opment of the property.

Will Be Completed to Lookout Pass
by August IS.
Mineral county, Montana, is pro-
crossing rapidly with the construction
of the road which will connect with
the road from Shoshone county at
Lookout pass, and it is officially an
nounced by the commissioners that
it will be completed by August IS.
This does not include a rock surface
over much of it, but the road will be
open for travel by that date. Last
Saturday the end of the road was at
Borax, and from there to the summit
the construction Is easy with practic-
ally no rock work The entire road
from Taft to the summit will have an
average grade of only 81 per cent.
From Lookout down about a mile and
o quarter the road will have a grade
of per cent Below that it will be
per cent for a short distance and then
2 per cent to Taft. The road for two
miles as it approaches the summit is
exposed to the sun on the south side
Of the hill and will be free from snow
fully two months earlier than the
present road.

Idaho Mines LEASING Co.

At the annual meeting of stock
holders of the Idaho Mines Leasing
company in the Gyde-Taylor building
last Saturday, the following directors
and officers were elected: L. L. Sweet
president; James Bond, vice presi-
dent; w. J. Stratton, secretary; J. w.
Winner. treasurer; Frank Maneglia.
The company has a lease on the old
Black Bear workings of the Frisco,
owned by the Federal company. The
company is idle at this time. At a
meeting of the directors the matter of
resuming operations was considered
and it is probable that plans will be
worked out that will enable the com
pany to start production before long.

Road Graders Uncover Vein.

What appears to be a strong min
eral bearing vein was uncovered a
few days ago by graders on the new
road that is being constructed to
Lookout pass by Charles Burns. The
ground upon which the vein was
found is understood to be on a home
stead. the owner of which Immediate
ly filed mineral locations to protect
his rights. The vein is said to be
about 10 feet wide and is literally
sprinkled with galena. It is said that
an assay returned per cent lead.

day and gave an interesting report
on what is being done toward equip

on his ground. The sample shows
much oxidized iron, some copper and
particles of glittering mineral that
has the appearance of galena. He
says he will do some work on this

Development.
Raymond Guyer manager of the
Rex Consolidated Mining company,
gives a very hopeful outlook for de-
velopment now in progress at this
famous old property. Both the Okan-
ogan and Benefactor veins are being
developed and of these he says:
Progress in the Okanogan vein has
been about 20 feet in the last month.
The company expects to cut the in
trusion dixie at any time. The vein
has been swinging off to the south,
approaching a contact Of granite and
slate. The management has not ex-
pected any ore until the drift passes
through this dixie.
From the Rex vein which paral-
lels the Okanogan vein, the Rex COM
pany produced over 100000 down
to the tunnel level The ore was
found in a distance of about 500 feet
between two bikes, which cross both
the Rex vein and the Okanogan vein.
II is the company's theory that sim
liar mineral wealth will be found be-
tween these bikes where they cross
the Okanogan vein.
TN the Benefactor claim of the
Timber group, part of the Rex hold

Report That Mill Is Now Running
ST. Paul Stockholders Here.

ST. Paul Stockholders Here.
According to Information received
yesterday from the North Side. the
Paragon mill began operation about
a week ago After taking the man
agement of the property a short time
ago. Chris Grimsmoe stated that he
had developed "a fine shoot of high
grade ore about IS inches thick in the
lowest tunnel together with two or
three feet of milling ore and that he
found considerable milling ore avail
able in the slopes. The showing was
such that he felt justified in saying
that he would soon be in position to
start the mill That the mill is now
running is in accordance with his
plans In the meantime good pro-
gress is being made in the shaft,
which is now reported down about
$50 feet At 300 feet the vein viii be
crosscut which is expected to make
available a large block of ore. In ad-
dition to good results now being ac-
complished in the Paragon, the COM
erty (Blackhorse). which has a record
of quite extensive production and
which when properly opened up is ex-
pected to show a large addition to the
ore reserves. Several
large stockholders in the Paragon
from st. Paul are visiting the mine
this week.

SHOWING At IMPERIAL
CONTINUES FAVORABLE
DRIFTING EAST FROM CROSS
CUT-LETTER TO STOCK
HOLDERS.

AT the Imperial drifting west from
the crosscut has been discontinued
and the work transferred to the east
side The showing disclosed wester-
ly was decidedly encouraging, consid-
cradle lead in the form of crystals
and galena being in evidence con-
tnuOusly. In the former some I'M
usually fine specimens of lead phos-
plate were found and the conclusion
follows that such crystalline deposits
must be in proximity to an ore body
or the east side of the crosscut the
showing is reported to be practically
the same. A letter to stockholders
recently issued by Homer G. Brown,
secretary treasurer, describes the
work since the raise was started in
the following paragraph:
Most Favorable Showing
1.-THE work in the tunnel was start
ed the latter part of November and
has continued steadily since that
time and men having been en-
ployed a greater part of the period.
The first work was a raise of 10 feet !
During the progress of this work a
number of stringers of ore were en-
countered running in values from 10 |
to II per cent in lead and about |
ounces in silver The ground in the |
raise was so extremely hard that only |
so feet a month could be accomplish
ed and instead of continuing the |
raise further, drifting was started
from the top of same. The drift has
been run for a distance of 500 feet
from the top of the raise and within
that distance a number of stringers

FIND STRINGER OF ORE
IN PEARSON CROSSCUT
FAVORABLE INDICATIONS FOR
AN ORE BODY WHEN THE
VEIN is REACHED.

Harry Pearson, manager of the
Pearson Mining company is in the
city this week and expects to leave
within the next few days for st. Paul
where he will probably remain for
several weeks looking after the i'm
ancial affairs of the company. A
large number of stockholders of the
Pearson company reside in Minneso-
Ia. Mr.. Pearson gives a very en-
cOuraging report of conditions at the
property, which is situated in the
copper belt on the St Joe, about three
miles from the Milwaukee railroad.
The company has been driving a
crosscut tunnel which will cut the
vein at a depth of 1000 feet or more,
and this is now in something over
1900 feet. For a considerable distance
the tunnel has been following u con-
tact between a great dixie and the
quartzite. This dixie is the same that
intersects the vein, and the changes
that have taken place recently indi-
cate that the vein is not far away
The formation is softer and about 40
feet back from the face heavy flow
OF water was encountered which still
continues.

MONARCH LEASERS USE
FORD TO DRAW ORE CARS
INGENIOUS DEVICE THAT SAVES
MUCH LABOR-SHlP CAR
OF CONCENTRATES.

There appears to be no end to the
diversified uses to which a Ford car
can be adapted when in the hands
of a handy man confronted with ne
cessity, which is ever the mother of
invention. Probably no other occu-
patton can boast of more men of this
type than mining, particularly in that
Independent class who spurn the daily
wage and are ever looking for a lease
of old mine workings. Three men of
this class have a lease on the Mon
arch mine, owned by the Fidelity
company about four miles above
Murray. They are working on a
level reached by a raise far above the
main tunnel, where they have found
ore that insures a very substantial
profit Having mined the ore, these
miners found pushing cars heavily
loaded with ore to the mill and the
empties back a laborious task, and it
was right here that inventive genius
began to work A Ford car was at
hand with engine intact, but in all
other respects a relic of long and
rough usage. 1t was a question of
applying the power of the engine to
the ore cars to overcome the labor of

Ship 5o-Ton Car.

This week the Monarch leasers
shipped a 5O-ton carload of concen-
trates the ore being hauled to the
loading station on the Beaver creek
branch of the O.-W. r. & n. at Delta.
The shipment was delivered from the
mine to the railroad by motor truck,
the distance being about 70 miles over
the low divide between Prichard and
Trail creeks. The leasers are under
stood to have opened quite an extern
sive shoot of ore. The ore is allowed
to accumulate as it comes from the
mine until there is sufficient to pro-
duce a carload shipment of concen-
trates or more. when the company
sends over a millman to make the
run. Shipments are made to the Bum
ker Hill smelter

Fine strinaers OF ore.

The best and most encouraging
feature is the presence of stringers of
ore which have been cut almost con
tinuously within the past Is or 20
feet. Mr. Pearson exhibited a sam
pie of these stringers taken from the
dixie which is being broken into in
extending the tunnel. There are
stringers Of quartz all through the
rock with here and there punches Of
chalcOpyrite carrying substantial val
ues in both copper and silver. Find
ng this ore in close proximity to the
vein leads to the conclusion that a
body of commercial ore will be found
when the vein is reached Altogether
the situation is regarded decidedly
favorable and the management is
naturally quite enthused over the i'm
mediate outlook
The Pearson property is connected
with the railroad at Boyle spur by
good wagon road on an easy grade.
1t is this road with which the propos-
ed wagon road from the Bullion will
connect at a point about a mile be
low the Pearson camp.
