HOW KRON AND JOHNSON
CLEANED UP A FORTUNE
WEALTH FROM WESTERN UNION
MAY BE SUPPLEMENTED
BY OIL.

Yesterday John Kron left in his high
power roadster for Spokane, where he
will join his partner, Peter Johnson
who preceded him in his big touring
car the day before. From Spokane
they will go to the coast then north to
Vancouver, and from there they will
go east across British Columbia to
Medicine Hat, Alberta, where they are
interested in a tract of oil land upon
which a well is being drilled, which
has already struck heavy flow of wet
gas and which is daily expected to
puncture the oil sand. Two years ago
John Kron and Peter Johnson, both
skilled miners of long and varied ex-
perience, like hundreds of others of
their kind, were casting about for
something better than the daily wage
for eight hours work, and they found
it at the Western Union mine. They
took a lease on a block of ground in
which there was not much ore in sight
but in which the ore rapidly Increased
as they raised upon it, AS new slopes
were opened the ore continued, some
times it's width was measured in feet,
sometimes in inches, but always rich
in lead and silver and most of it OF
clean shipping grade. They worked
as men will when every pound of ore
produced means more profits to them
Shipments to the smelter went forward
with gratifying frequency. a year
passed and the lease was renewed and
the record of the second year was bet
ter than duplicated. Then the com
pany decided to take over the opera
ton of the mine and discontinue the
leasing system. On August l Kron
and johnson had made their last ship
ment, and as a result of their leasing
operations covering a period of a little
less than two years each had bal
ance in the bank of $4,000
More Wealth in Oil.
But from present indications the for
tune obtained by Kron and johnson
the Western Union lease is
only a starter for the larger fortune
that is even now beginning to flow
from an oil well in the Medicine Hat
field of Alberta. With a substantial
on hand while working the
lease, it was natural that they should
take a chance in the oil game. They
made a liberal investment in a Medi-
cine Hat lease and a little later sent a
up to look it over. His
report was so favorable that they in
creased their investment After Civ
ing up the Western Union lease Kron
and Johnson made a personal inspec-
ton Of the Medicine Hat oil lease and
so we'll pleased were they with the
outlook that they have assumed the
of financing it and are
now on the way 70 give it their per-
sonal attention. A telegram from the
oil lease last week stated that a great
of wet gas was coming from
the well which is of great value itself
and that all conditions indicate an oil
gusher when the sands are reached.

SAYS CEDAR CREEK
SOON Be PRODUCER
MUCH ORE IN SIGHT
State Mine Inspector Impress
ed With Ore Showing and
Intelligent Development

IT HAS been matter OF common
comment in recent times that there
are an unusual number OF mining
properties under development
which have reached a stage that gives
assurance that they viii become pro-
ductive and profit earning mines. Nat
urally most OF these are on the South
Side where the situation is more fav
orable for development enterprises,
particularly with respect to proved
geological conditions and transporta
ton facilities. But in spite of disad-
vantages, mining development con-
tinues active on the North Side and
results are being accomplished which
strongly indicate that it will eventu-
ally take its place as an important
mineral producing section of this great
district. In fact it is on the North
Side that one of the new near mines
is located This is the property of the
Cedar Creek Mining x Development
company, to which the Miner has fire.
quently referred with confidence that
it was a mine in the making. 1t has
been developed under conditions which
at times were discouraging and which
tested the staying qualities of the
controlling owners, and it was only
through the excellent mineral show
ing which gave assurance of ultimate
reward that the difficulties were over
come and the property brought to the
present stage in which its future is
assured. This opinion has long been
shared by all local people who are IA
miliar with the property and the con-
ditions under which it has been de-
velOped, and it is especially pleasing
to have it confirmed by a capable and
disinterested authority.
What the Mine Inspector Says.
Last week Stewart Campbell, mine
inspector for the state of Idaho visit
ed the North Side for the first time
and among the numerous mining pro-
perties he visited was Cedar Creek.
When asked by the Miner upon his
return for some expression regarding
his trip, Mr.. Campbell gave his i'm
pressions of the various properties
visited and said that the property OF
the Cedar Creek Mining & Develop
ment company especially appealed to
him and regarding which he made this
statement:
From present indications Cedar
Creek has all the appearances neces-
sary to make a producing mine. De-
velopment work is being intelligently
directed toward further proving the
large showing of ore that is now in
sight. The company is installing a
sawmill to cut lumber for the new
bunk and boarding houses, which viii
be built this fall, and timber for the
raise that is now being driven to con-
meet the upper and lower tunnels.
When this raise is completed a shaft
will be sunk TO further prove the ex-
tent of the ore before the necessary
mill will be built. The vein on the
lower tunnel has been drifted on for
over 300 feet in addition to numerous
crosscuts which were run to prove its
width This work encountered consid-
cradle ore and was important in show
ing the extent and continuity of the
vein"

RequIar Shipments

Company Is Now Beginning to Make
Regular Shipments
Since taking over the direct opera b.
ton of the mine. the Western Union
Mining company has accomplished
much in the way of retimbering and
generally placing the mine in good
workable condition. This work has
now advanced to point that permits
a resumption of production and ore is
now being taken out for shipment TO
the Bunker Hin smelter. The ore is
being taken from the ground formerly
held under lease by Kron and John
son. where it is stated by Manager Ben
l.. Collins there is large tonnage
available. The ore showing in No. 3
tunnel continues most satisfactory
and while the leasers are steadily
pushing the drift east toward the
ground they are also
making shipments from which they
are deriving a good profit

other proportion reaches the smelter
at East Helena and its metal content
has been determined the charge for
freight will apply only to the waste
material or gangue associated with the
ore. The only additional charge is 25
cents per ton on the refined lead or
bullion when shipped TO its destina-
ton, this being an arbitrary charge
for the transit privilege The usual
shipments from this district average
about i5 or so per cent lead. and the
effect of the new rate is to practically
reduce the old rate about so per cent
Protest From Bunker Hill.
The smelling in transit" rate went
into effect on August l over the pro-
test from the director of the Bunker
Hill smelter who asked that the rate
be suspended for three months to al
low time to be heard against it. This
was denied by the interstate cone
merce commission, with the statement,
however, that the Bunker Hill would
be given a hearing later. The cOnten-
tion of the Bunker Hill is that the rate
is discriminatory, in that it is depriv-
ed of its rightful advantages as a 10
cal institution in contracting for the
ores of the district in which it is 10
Gated and that it establishes a prece-
dent that is far reaching in its effect
not only upon the smelling business. !
but in other Industrial lines, should |
railroads generally be permitted to
adopt the system. 1t is understood !
that the Bunker Hill is preparing 20
make its showing in opposition to the
rate and that a hearing will soon be
announced The rules governing the

ELK LOOKS GOOD.
Lower Tunnel Following Vein That
Should Soon Make Ore.


John F. Carson, manager of the Elk
Mining company, came down from
Nullan yesterday. Asked regarding
the progress of development opera
tions of the company, he said that one
shift is employed in the lower tunnel,
which has now been advanced about
200 feet on the vein, which occupies
the width of the tunnel and has a
heavy content of iron. both oxidized
and in the form of pyrite. The vein
also carries some values in silver and
copper. The conditions are favorable
to ore. particularly in view Of the ex-
cellent showing in the tunnel 300 feet
above. The upper tunnel generally
known as the Lucretia, is the main
development on the property. and
there a very promising showing of ore
has been exposed also there is good
showing of ore in a prospect shaft
above the Lucretia tunnel. When the
new tunnel reaches the ground under
the Lucretia it is confidently expected
that a commercial ore body will be
found The Elk group of claims joins
the You Like and Black Hawk on the
east and is bounded on the north by
the Fanny Gremm and Independence.

GALENA MAKES GOOD
SUCCESS COME BACK
STATE MINE INSPECTOR
Former Confirms His Fore
cast--Latter Developing New
and Permanent Ore Body
STATE MINE INSPECTOR

the property last week, Stew %
art Campbell, state mine in
spector said that recent ex-
posures in the main tunnel of the Ga
lena Mining company are proving the
statement he made more than a year
ago that Galena was one of the few
new mines to come in" in Shoshone
county during 1921. "A good grade of
milling ore has been exposed in this
tunnel for over 200 feet and the face
is still a considerable distance west of
a point directly over the large show
ings in the No. level of the shaft. If
the shoot on the tunnel level proves to
be continuous as far east as the ore in
No. T." Mr.. Campbell says, 1T is only a
question of how large a mill should be
built. From present developments a
large tonnage of ore has been expos
ed and the management is using good
judgment in further proving its extent
before installing a mill. The vein var
les from 5 to 20 feet in width and at
many places in it streaks of high grade
lead -silver ore are noticeable"
Success and its New Ore Body.
THE new ore body exposed in the
famous old Success mine bears every
indication of permanence, which, if
true, will mean that a come back"
unequalled in the history of mining in
the Occur d'Alenes will take place" is
the comment made by Stewart Camp
bell, state mine Inspector after a visit
to the mine last week. Continuing,
l,of ,rflo l,a vic
ed the mine 1.-THE ore had been proven
for $50 feet in length and the west end
showed feet of ore, feet of which
was high grade lead-silver. showing
very little zinc. From the dip and
strike, as represented by the work
done he said this new ore body is eX-
tending into virgin ground and it is
almost a safe assumption that it will
prove continuous in the other two di-
rections, up and down. If so, the year
1922 will be a memorable one in the
history of Success"
One car of lead silver ore has been
shipped and two cars are awaiting
shipment This ore was taken out in
drifting on the vein AS yet stopping
has not commenced and the mill is
being run one shift a day on ore eX-
tracted in proving the continuity of
the new find.
Iron Blossom.
The installation of complete mining |
equipment, including hoist and COM |
pressor at the Iron Blossom, at Ward !
ner and the rapidity with which the !
shaft is being sunk constitutes one of
the principal new undertakings of the |
year. said Mr.. Campbell The shaft |
is down 200 feet and will be sunk at |
least 100 feet more before crosscut-
ting to the vein is started. The com
pany is patenting its holdings and the
work will be watched with consider
able interest, as the vein on the sur
face is large and thoroughly IRON
stained.
North Bunker Hill.
Mr. Campbell found the North Bun
ker Hill company maintaining its rep
utation for consistent and persistent
development. At present the company
is prospecting its ground through the
old "Shuclx" tunnel, which is on the
