FROM HIGHLAND.

| Work at the Lookout Mountain, on
Pine creek, is now confined to sink
ing from the main tunnel level at
point near the end of the third ore
shoot. The shaft is being sunk YER
tically and it was expected that it
would intersect the ore shoot at a
depth of about as feet. However at
depth of 60 feet it has entered the
ore, which is believed to be the sec
ond ore shoot passed through in driv
ing the tunnel, the ore raking to the
east The shaft will be continued to
depth of 100 feet, and will probably
pass out of the ore before that level
is reached The vein will then be
crosscut and drifts run east and west,
thus making available an extensive
block of productive ground and enable
the company to increase shipments
and provide for the continuous devel-
opment of the property. A gravity
cable tramway connects the tunnel
with the loading station at the wagon
road, where the company has install
ed three hand jigs as we'll as conven-
lent facilities for loading both the jigs
product and the crude high grade ore.
The first carload of about 80 tons is
said to have netted the company up
wards of $4,000.
Sidney Shipments.
Leasers at the Sidney are continu-
ing shipments at steady rate, the
ore being delivered at the Bunker Hill
smelter by motor trucks. 1t was stat
ed yesterday that the installation of
"a compressor at the Sidney is being
considered but whether by the leas-
ers or by the parties who have re-
Gently taken an option to purchase
the property was not learned. The
option was secured about two weeks
ago by Fred w. Galloway, mining en-
gineer. Mr.. Calloway's long connec-
ton with the Bunker Hill company is
responsible for the impression that he
represented that company in tying up
the Sidney. but no information has
been obtainable confirming this i'm
preston.
Highland Surprise.
Another shipper either has been or
soon will be added to the list of Pine
creek shippers. This refers to the
Highland Surprise, the upper work
ings of which are under lease to NJ. j.
Sinclair and associates. During the
past few months they have taken out
more than 100 tons of lead silver ore,
most of it carbonate and now that the
roads are in good shape it will be
moved to the Bunker Hill smelter The
Highland Surprise is about 10 miles
from the mouth of Pine creek, max
ing the haul to the smelter about 10
miles. A continuation of the present
favorable metal conditions will prob
ably enable the Highland company to
resume production before many more
months. The company has a modern
mill and in all respects is equipped
for operation
