Successful business men and incorpo-
Erated under the laws of the state OF
|ldaho for three million shares, has
taken over the assets and holdings of
|the Blue Wing Tungsten Mining and
|Milling company, located on Patterson
|creek, Idaho.
\ The property as known in mining
krces consists of twenty-five claims,
|twenty-one of which are patented.
for patent on the remain
ing four claims will be made shortly.
Patterson creek divides the claims in
/ [to two huge moutains north and south
with an altitude of two thousand two
hundred feet above creek level.
The ore is rich in silver, copper,
bead and tungsten. Prof. James f.
Ealmake, we'll noted authority on
bnining, connected with the University
.cf Utah in Salt Lake, made a state
bnent, while surveying this property
some time ago, that this was the big
|gest and richest tungsten deposit any

The northside of the mine has a
tramway, operated by gravity, an up
|per and lower tunnel three hundred
feet apart, connected by numerous
ktopes, crosscuts and drifts, aggregat-
ing $500 feet and fully equipped
Working conditions in these tunnels
are ideal as they are ventilated by an
bpen air daylight shaft. On this side
HE mother lode is estimated at two
million tons assaying 40 ounces of sill
ker to the ton, to 4fo of copper and
b like amount of lead and tungsten.
Rnler the Pittman act with the pres

per ounce, copper at 3312 cents per
bound, tungsten at $3.15 per unit, lead
Rt 512 cents per pound, this one vein
tepresents a value of S75 100000 net,
bs operating expenses are very low. A
humber of small but very satisfactory
veins are exposed and visible to the
bye, also showing good and satisfac-
tory assay results.
The south side of the property is
bot as we'll developed as is the north
eide, but judging from the shafts sunk
bn the veins at a depth from twenty
% sixty feet and assays made this
part seems richer in silver as 384
ounces Of silver to the ton have been
Found.
Facilities at present consist of a
8nill, tiotatiOn system and five Will
#ey tables. These will be increased to
wo-hundred-ton units and a teaching

for the new plants are received from

The present flume of 1000 feet is
providing ample water and power.
Without any eXaggeration it is safely
estimated that every share represents
book value of $40.
