HOMESTAKE MINING CO.
SEEKS THE HUNTER VEIN
RUNNING cRosscUT WHICH is
EXPECTED TO FIND GOOD
ORE SHOOT.

The eastern extension of the Hun
ter vein is the objective Of a crosscut
that has just been started by the
Homestake Mining company, which
owns "a group of claims extending
across Deadman gulch above Mullan
and separated from the Hunter by
one claim. Recent development or
the Homestake consists of "a tunnel
700 feet in length driven by j. w.
Buehler, manager of the Silver Reef
Mining company, for the purpose of
exploring the Silver Reef vein at
greater depth. In driving this tunnel
at least three important stringers
were cut on the Homestake ground,
all carrying values in silver and lead
and having all the characteristics of
the high grade silver ore that is now
being mined by leasers in the Hunter.
These stringers appear to be part Of
big vein system with indications
that they come together to the west
or toward the Hunter ground. Hav-
ing accomplished the 700 feet agreed
to be run in the Homestake ground,
the Silver Reef management turned
the course of the tunnel northerly to
reach the Silver Reef vein.
Explore Homestake Vein.
SO favorable were the indications
exposed on the Homestake ground and
the position of the stringers with ref
erence to the course of the Hunter
vein, that F. c. Gnaedinger, mining
engineer, who has given close atten-
ton to the property, recommended
that a crosscut be run southwesterly
from the point where the tunnel turn
ed north. calculating that $50 feet or
less would cut all the stringers with
a strong probability that they would
be found united in one strong vein
carrying commercial ore. According
ly contract was let last week to J.
w Buehler of the Silver Reef TO
run this crosscut and he is now on
the job. Following the first round the
entire face was impregnated with fine
particles of galena. samples of which
were assayed and returned 2 ounces
of silver and per cent lead Alto
gether the outlook for important min
eral discovery before this contract is
completed is decidedly good, and it is
regarded probable that ore running
high in silver such as is now being
found in the Hunter may be encoun-
tered in the Homestake

PINE CREEK BUSY.
Rounding Up Assessment Work Be-
fore End of Year.

Rounding Up Assessment Work Be-
fore End of Year.
Theodore Brown came up from Pine
creek last Saturday and gave a very
optimistic report on mining activities
in that rich mineral section. With
three mines shipping or about to ship
and others with ore developed await
ing more favorable conditions, with
numerous other properties doing an
nual assessment work, Pine creek is
the scene of much activity. The two
shippers are the Sidney and Lookout
Mountain, while the Highland Sur
prise will probably be shipping before
the week is out. The Nabob is ex-
pected to start soon, while the Doug
las and Constitution both have much
ore available. but must wait further
improvement in the zinc situation.
Other properties active are the COrby,
Amy Matchless, Carbonate Liberal
King. Little Pittsburg and others. Mr..
Brown is working on the Bobby An
derson. Altogether there is more ac-
tivity on Pine creek than there has
been for several years and the out
look is favorable for further and more
extensive operations.

STRIKE NEW ORE SHOOT
IN MARSH TUNNEL NO. 2

w. J. Harris, who has charge of
development operations at the
Marsh and who is also under
stood to have q lease on the old
workings last week struck
an ore shoot on No. tun-
mel level which gives promise of
adding an important resource to
the property. The discovery was
made about 200 feet beyond a
winze sunk on the vein a good
many years ago in an effort to
locate the ore shoot. A raise is
being made on the ore and yester
day was up about Is feet, showing
the ore shoot to be upwards of
feet wide An average sample
gave an assay return of 25.2
ounces in silver and 1876 per cent
lead, while a picked sample re
turned 46S ounces in silver and
TIT per cent lead. The discovery
has created much interest and its
development may have an i'm
portant bearing on the future of
the property. This of course is
wholly independent of the work
that is being done from the
Hecla workings in drifting on the
Russell vein into the Marsh
ground.

TO SELL POWER

REPAIR FUMES AND ESTABLISH
POWER STATION AT THE
STANDARD MILL.

The two water rights owned by the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
which were used to provide power for
the Standard and Mammoth mills. af-
ter years of disuse are again to be
utilized, this time for the develop
ment of electric power One Of .hese
is on Canyon creek and the other on
the South Fork of the Occur d'Alene
river and the point of diversion Of
each is about 2ls miles above
the mills The fumes that convey the
water to the mills were constructed
many years ago and while the mills
were running they were necessarily
kept in a good state of repair. After
the mills suspended operation the
water was turned back to the streams
with the result that the action of the
elements has gradually reduced them
to a dilapidated condition. The work
of restoring the fumes is now going
on under the direction of Thomas
Peeler, who has about 10 men on the
job He estimates that the recon
struction of the fumes will require
approximately 1uOsuUV Attl VI iu1ibCi' /

trio energy generated will be sold by
the Federal company to the Montana
Power company which will use it in
supplying power for the mines it
serves in this district, which includes
the Morning, Hercules, Tamarack and

has been obtained as to the amount
Of power that can be obtained from
these two water rights, but it is es-

MONARCH ORE SHOOT
RAPIDLY WIDENING
AND MUCH HIGH GRADE

Adam AulbHch came over from
Murray yesterday and brought
news of important development
by leasers on the Monarch, a few
miles above Murray. A few
weeks ago they struck a fine
shoot Of ore averaging probably
is inches in width, reference to
which was made in the Miner at
the time. According to informa-
ton obtained by Mr. Aulbach,
this ore shoot has rapidly widen
ed as development proceeded I'M
til It is more than double it's or
iginal width, and at the same
time the grade has also improv-
ed. much of the ore being of a
shipping grade. 4 G.. Kennedy,
of this city. who represents the
Fidelity company which owns the
Monarch, when asked regarding
the strike said that he had no
direct information as to its ex-
tent from the leasers, but was ev-
identity not surprised when told of
the report brought over by Mr.
Aulbach. The leasers have quite
a large accumulation of ore and

EMPLOYING EIGHT MEN-PUSH
WORK WHILE WATER is
PLENTIFUL.

James II. Taylor manager of the
Bullion Mining company. came over
from the mine Tuesday and returned
this morning. He stated that work is
now we'll under way and that eight
men are employed, and also a team
ster is engaged hauling supplies from
the railroad at Borax to the mine. He
has ordered practically everything
that will be needed for the next few
months in the way of mtaerial and
supplies for the mine and provisions
for the boarding house, and when
these are delivered there will be moth

is plentiful. In addition to the under
ground work the wagon road to the
Milwaukee will also receive attention.
A broad trail on a wagon road grade
has been built down Bullion creek

of probably three miles to the Pear
son companys road down to the rail-
road at Boyle spur. The expense of

Hiram Leithead, of Los Angeles,
spent several days in the city last
week, returning to his home by way
of Seattle last Sunday morning. Mr..
Leithead has for many years been en-
gagged in the real estate and brokerage
business in Los Angeles, where he has
built up a large and prosperous bus
mess. He is heavily interested in a
number of mining companies of the
Occur d'Alene district including the
Big creek. and he also represents nu-
merous other Los Angeles people who
have mining interests here. In COM
pany with G. Scott Anderson, presi-

made a thorough inspection of the
mine and expressed much satisfaction
with conditions and the operation of
the property by the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company. He also visited
the Idaho & Los Angeles property in
which he and many other southern
California people are interested.

HIGH GRADE SHIPMENT
BY FEATHERSToNE LEASE
OLD YOU LIKE WORKINGS

Reports that recently two car
loads of ore were shipped from
the Featherstone lease of the old
You Like workings that averaged
better than 600 ounces in silver
are not confirmed by Judge A. H.
Featherstone, who owns the lease,
so far as the tonnage is concern
ed. but as to the silver value the
report is correct. Judge Feather
stone said that the high grade
shipment consisted of 10 tons of
gray copper ore taken from a
stringer along the hanging wall.
This ore he said was thoroughly
sampled, the highest sample car
rying 1900 ounces of silver to the
ton and the lowest 800 ounces,
from which it is evident that the
average of 1927 for the lot as re-
ported is probably correct, al
though the returns for the ship
ment have not been received. The
Featherstone lease takes in the
old workings on the You Like
vein between No. tunnel level
and what is known as the inter
mediate level. Besides the high
grade, the Featherstone lease is
making extensive shipments of
lower grade ore. lead silver, from
which good returns are being re-
ceived Above the Featherstone
ground is the Duff Hayes lease,
which is expected to prove equal

further opened
