The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1922-01-05

Pine creek property. suddenly sprang
from a good prospect to an ore ship
per- while development Of the old
Hilarity now known as the Pine Creek
Mining & Milling company, made nota-
bic progress in developing a large body
Of milling ore
Ore shipments from the Western
Union, on Revenue gulch. near Wal
lace, continued throughout the year.
and the new year finds that property
in position to increase shipments with
all indications favorable to permanent
production The Cedar Creek company
also celebrated the close Of the year by
exposing a new and promising ore
shoot and confidence is expressed that
it viii enter the shipping list this year.
Occur d'Alene Syndicate.
Work continued throughout the year
by the Occur d'Alene Syndicate, an
organization composed of some of the
most noted and successful mine opera
tors in the United states. Excessive
flow Of water caused serious delay
presenting for a time a difficult prob
lem With this overcome the big tun-
mel has been going forward and should
soon reach the objective, when it is
believed another great ore body will
be added to swell the output of the
Occur d'Alene district The Occur
d'Alene Syndicate is developing the
Flynn group lying east of and adjoin-
ing the star. The company has prac-
tically unlimited financial resources
and the finding of an ore body win
mean the immediate equipment and
development of another great mine.
Deep Development.
These operations are perhaps the
most noticeable accomplishments dur
ing the year in the way of developing /
new mines, although much additional I
development work has been carried on, /
in fact much more than would natur- |
ally have been expected in view of the |
conditions that prevailed |
during the year. Besides this new |
work. there is another gratifying fea-
ture that has = direct bearing upon
the future of the district That is the
deep development of the Hecla, Morn
ing and Bunker Hill. At the Hecla no
additional depth was attained, but the
development on the 2eG0 level proved
he main Hecia ore body fully equal in
all respects to the remarkable showing
100 feet above and with every indica-
ion that it will remain unchanged at
ar greater depth. AT the Morning 200
'eet was added to the depth of the
shaft and the ore showing on the new
evel, 2200, as far as explored is a du-
,licate of the great shoot above and i
much greater depth. At the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan a new level is being /
opened 1000 feet below the Kellogg 2
unnel with every indication that the s
treat ore body will show no material 2
hange. These conditions in three of I
he great mines of the district which t
emained active during the year. q
oupled with the new discoveries $
AIMED and the vast mineral territory n
ct TO be explored; the construction of +
n electrolytic zinc plant and the as v
lrance that zinc will soon become an T.
Important and permanent factor in the O
mineral output of the district, all COM h
inc to make the outlook for mining in II
he Occur dAlene district most favOra- c.
lie, while the business and industrial a
Dnditions generally gives evidence I,
nat the turn in the long lane has been b.
assed and that the New Year marks h
le beginning of better days. n
