iEcLA BEING UNWATERED
POWERFUL ELECTRIC PUMP
I'M SLOPES ABOVE THE 1000

While pumps on the 1900 and
1900 levels of the Hecla mine were
handling the water on those lev
els, sinking pumps made slow pro-
gress in lowering the water be-
low. which had risen considerably
above the 1000 level. In order or
to meet the situation. the installa-
ton of n powerful electric pump in
the Slopes above the 1000 was ac-
complished this week and this
morning the pump completed the
first q hours of continuous oper-
alton. From L. b. Hanley, super
intendent of the mine, it was
learned that during that period
the water was lowered 6 feet in
ches. which he regarded as very
satisfactory work. When the wa
ter is lowered to the 1000 the vast
volume filling the great openings
on that level will slow up the
downward movement of the wa
ter. and if deemed necessary the
unwatering process may be speed
ed up by the addition of another
pump. Cleaning up the wreckage
at Hecla is moving along very
satisfactorily, and the work of ex-
cavating for the main building is
now well under way

was stated that refners reported the

did not. however. report any produc-

BUNKER HILL HAS HIGH
GRADE ORE IN CRESCENT
GROUP BETWEEN THE ALHAM
BRA AND BIG CREEK AND
ON SAME VEIN.

The Wardner- Kellogg News of last
week has an interesting story regard
ing a rich ore shoot developed by the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan company in
the Crescent group of claims, situated
between the Alhambra and The Big
Creek Mining company's property
which is being operated under lease
by the Bunker Hill & Sullivan. The
ore shoot described is in a vein identI-
cal with the Big Creek and it is be
lieved that it has been followed east
erly to point not far from the Big
Creek ground. In the Big Creek
workings the Bunker Hin company
has sunk a shaft $50 feet from the
lowest tunnel level, from the bottom
of which the vein has been explored
with gratifying results The ore is
both galena and gray copper and il is
understood the mill is being operated
on a hafl-time basis. Following is
what the News has to say about the
ore in the Crescent:
High in Silver.
IAN ore body, already proven for
$50 feet in length and still continuing
as the drift proceeds, has been uncOv-
cred in the Crescent group of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan company, ad-
joining the Alhambra property. The
ore body varies in width from 1 to s
feet, with an average for the $50 feet
of over 4 feet The metal content is
almost entirely silver assaying from
Is to $50 ounces per ton. with some
copper values, the ore being in the
form of silver bearing gray copper.
The present operations are at a face
depth of 1900 feet. Shipments from
the Crescent ore body to the Bunker
Hill smelter aggregate 500 tons, with
400 tons of crude ore in the bins now
ready for movement to the smelter
The ore is sorted in the mine, only
the higher grade product being ship
ped, leaving the lower grades for lat
er treatment by milling process.
"The extensive development pro-
gram carried on by the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company extending over
period of five years on this property,
has demonstrated ore possibilities of
quantities in a new field
of operations and is a matter of great
Importance to the local mining indus
try.
1.-THE property is well equipped with
driven machinery and has
a 75-ton capacity flotation plant which
has proven successful in its treatment
Of this character of ore. Roy Hooper
has been in charge Of the development
work during the past four years and
now has a crew of miners employed
in carrying forward the drift on the
ore"
