MONARCH LEASERS SEEK
ORE SHOOT ON THE roo
LARGE ACCUMULATION OF ZINC
WAIT FOR FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS.

Allen G.. Kennedy manager of the
Fidelity company which owns the
Monarch mine above Murray, accom-
panied by Mrs Kennedy drove over
to the North Side last Saturday and
returned Monday Most of the time
was spent at the Monarch inspecting
the property and comforting with the
leasers who have the ground between
the 100 and 600 levels. The leasers
are Alex Durno, Bert Parsons and
Henry Pryor. They have made quite
extensive shipments during the past
year from the upper levels of their
ground and they are now engaged in
drifting on the 100 level with the ex-
pectation of finding the same ore
shoot which would give them an adj
dtional back of 100 feet of stopping
ground. This shoot was continuous
from the 1000 to the 600, mostly lead
with good silver value, and it is be-
lieved that it will be found equally
good on the 100. The Ieasers have
the use of the company's compressor
and power drills; also the company's
mill. In addition to the lead silver
the leasers have an ac-
emulation of about 100 tons of zinc
for which there is no
profitable market at this time

MARSH.
Report That Vein Is Holding EasterIy

Report That Vein Is Holding Easterly
Course.
The Marsh Mines company has two
shifts employed extending the Russell
tunnel easterly to the east end line,
the statement that only one shift was
employed as stated in the Miner last
week being erroneous. Since start
ing work the tunnel has been advanc-
ed about 100 feet The vein continues
well defined and it's general charact-
eristics unchanged. II is claimed that
if the course of the vein remains un-
changed it will cross the east end line
at least 1875 feet from the northeast
corner. and that the depth attained
together with the contour of the hill
render it practically impossible for
the apex of the vein to cross the north
side line as contended by Hecla. Up
on reaching the east end line in the
drift. the Marsh company will raise
on the vein to the surface to demon
strate its apex contention.

DEATH OF GEORGE HUSTON.

In the passing of George Huston,
whose death occurred in this city last
Friday, the mining industry of the
Occur d'Alenes has sustained serious
loss and the state a quiet and unpre-
tentious citizen. nevertheless one of
tireless energy and sterling worth.
Mr. Huston had made his home in
Alullan for many years and as min
ing geologist he had made close study
of the section surrounding that town
and to great extent the Occur
d'Alene district He was a recognize
ed authority on the geology of the
copper belt of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict contributed valuable articles on
this and other subjects dealing with
mining in this district. The success
achieved by Mr.. Huston in the field of
geology was through his native abil-
ity backed by a studiOus disposition
and unfailing industry for he was
without the advantage of college
training Had he been favored with
technical education coupled with his
natural love for studying the rocks. 1t
is more than probable that George
Huston would have been known as
one eminent in the geological profess
sion. AS IL was his field of geological
research was crcumscribed but he
accomplished results alike creditable
to his diligent efforts and of real
value to the mining industry 1t is
with deep regret that the Miner re-

More Samples of Ore Showing Ruby
Silver.
Irving Anderson, mining engineer
and manager of the Big Creek Min
ing company in the absence of his
father, G. Scott Anderson, this week
exhibited samples of ore from the
mine which contained considerable
proustite, commonly called ruby sill
yer. which when pure carries 65.4 per
cent silver. This is the only mine in
the Occur d'Alene district as far as
known in which ruby silver is found.

Last Tuesday Mike Kotz, who with
two associates has a lease on ground
above No. , tunnel of the old Nam
moth mine, now owned by the Fed
eral Mining & Smelling company,
displayed sample of ore about half
the size of a mans fist, nearly black
in color and having almost the weight
of pure lead. He stated that it was
plattnerite and that he had found
considerable of it since taking the
lease about two months ago He stat
ed that it is found in the form of
chunks or boulders in the vein and
that the sample he exhibited would
assay about so per cent lead and
probably 40 ounces in silver. He
was probably mistaken regarding the
silver value, for investigation shows
that plattnerite has little or no silver
content. Mr. KOtz also exhibited an
other sample taken from the vein
upon which he and his associates are
working and which by actual assay
returns III ounces silver and 1873 per
cent lead. The pay streak however
is small. varying from to inches
in width. He stated that they now
have over half a carload of this ore
ready for shipment At present metal
prices the gross value of a carload of
that class of ore would be $4,000 from

ers would not have to ship a carload

His theory. which he says has been

and that through its association with
manganese it takes on sufficient oxy-
