THE LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
TO DEVELOP TONNAGE
PLANS UNDER WAY TO START
SHIPMENTS TO BUNKER
HILL SHELTER.

The drift on the SOO-foot level of the
Lookout Mountain property on Pine
creek this week made additional ore
disclosures OF very important nature,
the ore showing from four to six feet
III width in both oxide and sulphide
form. Some fine samples of clean ga
lena were brought to town Monday by
&c. f. o. Merriam, who pronounces the
showing one of the best made in the
Occur d'Alenes in many years.
The drift on this level has been
driven about 200 feet practically all Of
which has been in ore but with three
predOminating shoots of high grade
material. The first two shoots showed
a length of 81 feet OF commercial ore
of an average width of over six feet
The third shoot picked up this week
is of similar nature to the others
with the exception that at least
half of the ore is galena. The drift
has penetrated this ore for 20 feet and
is said to be showing greater width
in the last round. Crosscuts driven
on the vein near the present face of
the drift gave values across "a foot
face. with the main orebody making
along the hanging wall slip.
Will Install Tramway.
A large tonnage of ore is now avail
able for movement to the smelter from
this level and as soon as a 2OOO- foot
ln chi &c
will be made. All material for the
tramway is now at the property and
it is thought the work of installation
can be completed by the middle of
February. Auto trucks will be used in
transporting the ore to the Bunker
miles. Ore bins at the foot OF the tram
will be located on the company's
ground a few feet east of the BeeIer
schoolhouse.
Development of the orebody at an
additional depth of 300 feet below the
No. 2 workings will also be undertake
en- by the company. This can he read
lily accomplished by a short crosscut
to pick up the vein on its downward
extension. with a consequent drift on
the lead to a point beneath the present
ore showing, distance of about 1000
feet. This will give a vertical depth
Of 500 feet beneath the No l workings. |
An additional depth of 500 feet, or 100
feet beneath the upper workings, can
be seucred by a tunnel from the creek |
evel.
Has Large Holdings.
The Lookout company controls |
group of Is claims on Lookout noun !
ain east of the Beeler schoolhouse. !
work was started about
Xix years ago on a showing Of carbon
tie ore that gave a strong outcrop, |
exceptional values in both
cad and silver. After cutting into a
rood showing Of carbonate in the No.
tunnel, surveys were made for 800
eet additional depth and the No.
rosscut started. This crosscut inter-
ected the vein at about $50 feet,
where a splendid showing of ore was
made in both carbonate and galena.
The fissure was shown to be exceed
ngly strong, cutting the formation at
square angle both on dip and strike.
i drift on the vein at this point has
low disclosed the ore from which
hipments will inaugurated.
The property is well equipped with
machinery and with the completion of
he tramway can handle a steady ton
age. The directars have withdrawn
he treasury stock from the market
nd will finance their further opera
ions from ore shipments The direc
ors of the corporation are all Kellogg

evelopment of the property from its
