Spends Several Days in Mormon Cap
ital and Likes It.
Frank j. Davey assayer, chemist
and ore buyer of this city, returned
last week from Salt Lake City, where
he accompanied f. r. Day and ap-
peared as q witness for him in suit
for the recovery of a balance due on
ore shipments to a Utah smelter Mr..
Davey had not been in Salt Lake City
for a good many years and he was
much impressed with its growth and
evidences OF business expansion and
prosperity. 1t is now perhaps the
greatest mining center in the west
and Mr. Davey said that the city
seems less affected by the depression
in the mining industry than any other
large mining city. All the important
mining districts in Utah tributary
to Salt Lake City are active on a
curtailed basis except Bingham Can
Won, where the great Utah Copper
company is idle.

WILSON VEIN OUTCROP
SHOWS LEAD-SILVER ORE
DIRECTORS LET CONTRACT TO
EXTEND CRossCUT 100
FEET-BUlLDlNGS.

c. w. Dougherty, of this city, sec
rotary of the Wilson Mining & smelt-
ing company, attended a meeting of
the directors of the company at sal
tese, Mont, last week. at which a
contract was let to extend the cross
cut 100 feet. The contractors are
practical miners and will push the
work as rapidly as possible by hand
At the time the contract was let the
crosscut had been advanced $50 feet
Including the contract it is estimated
that 400 feet will be required to reach
the vein, which will be cut at a depth
of about 600 feet However. the APP
pearance of scattering ore in the face
indicates that the distance to the
vein may be considerably less. Mr.
Dougherty visited the property which
is situated on Big Sunday creek, a
tributary of Silver creek, and about
three and half miles from Saltese
He inspected the outcrop of the vein
which as described by him is a re-
markedly fine and promising show
ing 1t is mostly quartz and iron
and averages about 8 or 10 feet wide
with more or less galena. Mr. Dough-
erty exhibited samples of ore that he
broke from the cropping.
Provide Good Accommodations.
The Wilson company has just com
pleted the construction of a boarding
house and a new bunk house will be
completed this week The company
had under consideration the purchase
Of a compressor but decided to wait
until the vein is cut, as upon the
showing disclosed will depend plans
for permanent development. Anoth-
er important Improvement that is
held in allegiance is the construction
of a new road about a mile and a
half in length which will reduce the
distance to Saltese about one mile.
The Wilson company is being fin
anced by Charles A. Mayer, formerly
of Watertown S. D., but who is now
at the property and will give his per-
sonal attention to its development
The company owns IA claims, seven
of which are located on this lead vein
and the other seven on a copper vein
and joining the st. Lawrence. The
Wilson is a property of unusual mer-
il in the opinion of those who are ia
miliar with it, and these freely pre-
dict that a large body of commercial
leads silver ore will be developed
through the crosscut now being
driven.

THREE FEET CLEAN ORE DEVELOPMENT OF MARSH
WESTERN UNION SLOPE LETTER EXPLAINS PLAN
PAYS DIVIDEND THROUGH SET
ELEMENT WITH THE
HECLA.

( Checks in payment of dividend OF
cents per share aggregating S4O,-
600, are being mailed this week to the
stockholders of the Marsh Mines Con
sohdated This payment is made
possible through the settlement of the
apex litigation with the Hecla Min
/ ing company through which Marsh
received $112.5OO. Accompany the
dividend checks is a circular letter
advising stockholders of the devel-
opment work now in progress. outlin-
ing plans and alternative plans for
deep development and the eXpecta-
tons of the management as a result
of the development outlined. The
letter follows, in part:
"The east drift on the Russell tun-
mel level was advanced 279 feet in
May, and has reached a point 4SO feet
east of where the vein was encoun-
tered after the settlement with the
Heela company. This tunnel has
crossed the east end line of the Rus
sell claim and is well within the
Slayden claim of the Marsh company
The vein has been followed continu-
ously throughout this length and is a
strong persistent fssure. carrying
appreciate values, both in lead and
silver practically the entire distance.
with the assurance already gained
that the vein is persistent and well
defined on its strike east into Marsh
ground the present tunnel will be
abandoned shortly and future devel-
opment undertaken at depth by
means of the Gertie tunnel or the
Hocla No. 8 tunnel.
May Use Gertie Tunnel.
Negotiations have been under way
for some time with the Gertie Mining
company for use of the Gertie tunnel
in exploring our vein at depth, APP
proximately 1000 feet lower than the
Russell tunnel. Should we fail to
conclude this arrangement we shall
take advantage of the settlement
agreement with the Hecla company
and undertake the same development,
commencing at the east face of the
Hecla No. tunnel, which is at an
elevation 100 feet lower than the Ger
tie tunnel. Either plan would be
most advantageous in exploring the
vein quickly and economically.
In the event we secure the Gertie
tunnel we contemplate drifting east
on the vein, following the vein for ap-
proxmately $50 feet where the fault
exposed in the Russell tunnel level
should be encountered. BY crosscut-
ting north the vein should be found in
practically the same relative position
as disclosed on the Russell tunnel
level Failing to secure the Gertie
tunnel we propose to drive the north
mel of Hecla east to a point beneath
the Gertie tunnel level and raise 100
feet to the Gertie level"

LEASERs LOADING 50-ToN CAR
BEST ORE THAT HAS
BEEN SHIPPED.

Ben l.. Collins manager OF the
Western Union Mining company, ar
rived from Spokane in his car yester-
day evening and made a brief visit to
the mine this morning. He brought
back with him chunks Of clean ga
lena taken from the top of the Slopes
in which the leasers are working,
and he said they represented three
feet of ore by actual measurement
The stope is up about 100 feet above
the main level few weeks ago the
ore pinched down and it looked for a
time that the top of the shoot had
been reached, but about a week ago it
came in again stronger than ever. It
is beautiful ore running high in both
lead and silver, and intermingled may
be seen a little copper, but not suffi
cient to increase the smelling value.
A 5O-ton car is now being loaded by
the leasers which they pronounce the
best shipment they have made. Smell
ter returns on former shipments have
averaged so per cent lead and ~
ounces silver.
Work in the crosscut was suspend
ed a few weeks ago, after having
driven something over 300 feet. This
Crosscut is being run from the main
tunnel to the north vein. which it is
believed will prove to be the main
hssure. The possibility of finding a
large body of ore in this vein causes
this development to be watched with
unusual interest Work in the cross
cut will resume within the next few
days. The company has just COM
pleted all the preliminaries for pat
enting 10 claims. The discovery of
this rich ore shoot on the Western
Union and the subsequent shipments
is one of the most interesting mining
developments during the past year,
and justifes the conclusion that it
will prove to be an important and
producer. Since the strike
was made the company has carried
out extensive development work and
made improvements looking to future
operations, all of which has been paid
for through royalties received on ore
shipments and the mine now seems
to be in shape to meet all expenses of
placing it on a permanent productive
basis

HOUSE BILL TO CHANGE
THE ASSESSMENT YEAR
WILL PROBABLY PASS - KILL
BILL FOR ASSESSMENT
WORK EXEMPTION.

| According to a special dispatch
] from Washington. the house commit
] tee on mines and mining has report
ed favorably a bill providing that
hereafter assessment work on min
ing claims shall be done during the
fiscal year beginning July l instead
of during the calendar year. and that
determined effort will be made to Sc
cure it's passage at an early date. This
is one bill affecting the mining indus
try upon which there appears to be
no division of opinion for so far as
can be learned there is no opposition
to the change in any section of the
country To the claim owner who
habitually does his annual assess
ment work during the spring and
summer the change will make no
material difference, although it might
be more satisfactory to him if the
end of the assessment year was fixed
at about the close of the good wea-
Their period rather than in the middle
of it. The fact is that the bill to
change the assessment year is in the
interest of the claim owner who pro-
crastinates in the performance of his
annual labor and the unanimity with
which it is approved indicates that
claim owners are generally of that
class.
No More Exemption.
The first information received in
Wallace that the house committee on
mines and mining had turned down
the Bursum bill passed by the senate
exempting all mining claims from
assessment work up to July 1 came
last Saturday in a message to the
Miner from Congressman Addison T.
Smith The action of the committee
in killing the bill is very gratifying
to bona fide claim owners and the
people of the mining districts gener-
ally. Assessment work on mining
claims is required by the government
as an evidence of good faith on the
part of those who file upon the min
eral lands, and also as a means of Sc
curing mineral development. 1t is
good law and should not be suspend
ed except in times of emergency
when its enforcement would clearly
be in conflict with public welfare.
This was the case during the war in
1917 and 1918. but as viewed now it
is doubtful if there was a necessity
for the suspension of the law in 1919
and certainly there was no valid rea-
son for extending the time six months
for doing the work for last year.
Congress is now evidently wise 10 the
situation and will have ITO be shown"
before there will again be suspen-
sion of the assessment work law.

MINING SITUATION
HAS GOOD FEATURES
Important Develop
ment Enterprises
Being Pushed
LOOKING TO FUTURE
Should be no Delay in Doing
Assessment Work for
the Year 1921

TN SPITE of low metal prices and
consequent business depression
throughout the district, there are
some features of the mining sit
uation that promise relief locally to
some extent and which inspire I'M
bounded confidence in the future
when that long delayed normalcy is
restored throughout the country The
refusal of congress to grant further
suspension of annual assessment
work has already resulted in renew
ed activity in that line by claim own
ers who were hopeful that they would
at the last moment be relieved of do
ing assessment work for 1920. Many
of these claim owners while on the
ground will complete the work for
this year also Another thing that
will tend to speed up assessment
work is the uncertainty regarding the
action of congress on the bill to
change the assessment year. 1t is al
together probable that the bill will
pass, but following the usual custom
of congress it may be late in the year
before it is put through On the other
hand, it may be passed before the
first of July and thus give claim
owners a full year i'm which to do
their work for 1921 Il there seems
to be a tendency on the part of con-
gress to delay action or possibly take
no action at all on this important
measure during this session, it will
behoove owners of mining claims to
get busy doing their assessment work
for in that event they might be linn
tied to six months H. which to repre-
sent their claims for this year. No
doubt this view will be generally tax
en- with the result that there will be
much activity in assessment work
this summer which may lead to much
more extensive development opera.

Work at this time is confined to a
stope above the main tunnel at a
depth of about $50 feet from the sur
face. The ore is gray copper, the
shoot varying in width from a few
inches to a foot in width. The ore is
closely sorted and there is now quite
an accumulation on the dump for
shipment. It is estimated that this
ore will return not less than 200

Further indicating the future OF
mining in this district is the activity
of those large operating companies
now non-productive on account Of the
low prices of the metals The Gala
han is employing 30 men on develop
ment preparatory for resumption as
soon as conditions are right The
Hercules is reported to have rs or
100 men running several drifts and
otherwise exploring new ground IN
the hope of developing new ore bod
les, while at the Tamarack some 80
or 40 men are getting the mine in
shape for increased production. on
Sunset the Portland group is being
steadily developed with every indica-
ton that another great mine will be
developed in that wonderful mineral
section. The Brady Development
company. financed by a strong Pitts
burg syndicate, is exploring ground
in a section famous for its great min
eral production and upon which inn
portant developments are expected.

fully recovered from the ailment for
which he recently submitted to an

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-06-23

Another satisfying feature of the
situation is the activity of large OPP
Grating companies in carrying out de-
velopment plans. Chief among these
is the development of the Star by the
Sullivan Mining company owned
equally by the Hecla Mining company
and the Bunker Hill & Sullivan The
preliminary work for this great en-
terprise is now under way, involving
the employment of a considerable
number of men and which will event
ually make a large increase in the
permanent payroll of the district.
Then there is the Occur d'Alene Syn
dictate, controlled by a group of the
most successful mining men in the
west. which is vigorously pushing de-
velopment of the Flynn ground join
ing the Star and which promises to
be equally rich in mineral resources.
On the east side of this wonderful hill
the Federal company has just added
200 feet to the depth of the Morning
shaft and will soon open its great ore
body on the new level which is con-
fidently expected to maintain its
great size and richness. Another en-
terprisc with ample financial backing
of which little is heard, but which
promises rich rewards, is the Omaha,
lying south of and adjoining the
Hecla, owned by August Paulsen.
Work is now being directed to the
Thisbie group of claims, joining the
Omaha, purchased by Mr.. Paulsen
some two years ago, and which is re-
garded as highly promising ground.

from the property last week. He
found that the snow had all disap-

preparing to take in supplies and
start work underground. He will
continue drifting west from the main
crosscut going toward the Copper
Queen ground after which he will re-
turn to the ore in the east drift which
will be further developed. He will
also employ one or two men clearing
