UNION PREPARING
SINK 200 FEET FROM NO. 4
SHIPMENTS FOR THE MONTH

Shipments from the Western
Union this month will amount to
100 tons of high grade lead silver
ore and possibly more. This ore is
being taken from the winze level
so feet below No. 4. In the mean
time much is being accomplished
toward the development of the
ore shoot at depth. 1t is the be-
lief of the management and this
is shared by some of the best min
ing authorities in the district, that
the biggest ore shoot and highest
values will be found beneath No
tunnel level, and il is ON this
theory that deep development
plans are now being carried out
A raise has been made from the
winze level to No. 4. and this will
form the beginning of the double
compartment shaft, which will be
sunk to a depth of POO feet as
speedily as possible. a station
has been cut on No. level TO ac-
commodate an up-to-date hoist
and the nece ssary timbers for gall
lows frame and other purposes are
being placed to provide for its in
stallation. 1t is conservatively
estimated that the ore blocked out
between the Wine level and No. 4
will be sufic ent to cover all costs
of new machinery and sinking the
shaft 200 feet as the showing of
ore is highly graft lying. All
conditions indicate that the ex-
tension Of the shaft will make
available a large additional ton
mage and result in a great increase
in the output of the mine

TARBOX SOON TO RESUME
TWO VE|NSBE DEVELOPED
MUCH ORE BLOCKED OUT IN THE
SHAFT-BE FINANCED
IN THE EAST.

1t is definitely announced that work
I will resume on the Tarbox just as
soon as the snow disappears sufi-
GENTLY to permit operations to advan-
tage. Work on the property hereto
fore has been confined to the shaft,
which has been sunk to a depth of
1000 feet and which has resulted in
the development of a large amount of
lead-silver and zinc ore of milling
grade estimated by engineers at $40, %
900 tons practically blocked out. 1t is
not the purpose of the present man
agement to take up the work in the
shaft at this time, and for that rea-
son the workings are being permitted
to fill with water to eliminate the
heavy expense of pumping. Numer-
Gus tests have demonstrated that this
ore is a valuable asset to the company
and it will be mined later following
the carrying out of other development
plans which are expected to provide
much additional tonnage.
Develop Two Veins.
These plans contemplate the devel-
opment from the surface of both the
TarbOx vein and what is known as the
big south vein, some 500 feet south of
the Tarbox and parallel to it. In both
cases important results are expected.
The south vein has a tremendous iron
outcrop and it may prove to be the
most important resource of the COM
pany, and this view does not in the
least minimize the known value and
possibilities of the Tarbox vein.
Through H. b. Kingsbury, a director
of the Tarbox company, who is now in
New York, negotiations are pending
with an eastern company with the
view to financing the company, with
the outlook favorable for a successful
conclusion at an early date. But the
resumption of operations are not
wholly dependent on the outcome of
these negotiations, as the company
has funds in the treasury which will
provide for taking up the plans when
conditions are favorable. Steps have
been taken to list Tarbox on the New
York curb.

SURPRISE CO.
PLANS ARE UNCERTAIN
CONDITIONS MENTIONED WHICH
WILL DETERMINE FUTURE
OF PROPERTY.

The annual meeting of stockholders
of the Highland-Surprise CONSOLIDATE
ed Mining company will be held at
Kellogg on April at 1880 p. m. Ac-
companying the notice of meeting
there is a brief letter from Dr. Chas.
r. Mowery president of the company,
in which he says:
Future Operations Uncertain.
In our last report we stated that
a lease had been granted on the upper
workings of the Highland claim. Work
has been going on continuously since,
the leasers having opened up some
very good ore in their development
work toward the east.
During the year 1922 an option on
control of the outstanding stock at
S5 cents per share was granted to f.
w. Galloway and associates, but ow-
ing to parties falling to make pay
ment as stipulated, this option lacked
a successful conclusion.
"The future operation of the prop
erty is still one of uncertainty, there
being several conditions pending, such
as the building of the Pine creek rail-
road. the construction of a zinc re-
duction plant at Kellogg contemplated /
by the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Min
ing company. or the securing of a
favorable market for our product from I
some ore buyers, any one of which /
will influence future operations"

will probably be done this spring,

Railroad Company Putting in Side
Track for Leasers.
After a large expenditure, which in
Guided the construction of a tramway
more than 1000 feet long and much
underground development, leasers at
the Argentine were just about ready
to begin ore shipments when fire de-
stroyed the compressor building and
put machinery and equipment out of
commission. Undismayed by this
backset, the management proceeded at
once to replace the building and re-
pair the damages, all of which was ac-
complished in record time. Then there
was further delay in getting the o.
W. r. & n. company to put in a side
track, but this is now being done and
within a few days it is expected that
the leasers will be making shipments.
The ore will be treated at the Sweeny
mill, and test runs indicate that it will
return a handsome profit Quite a
large tonnage has been developed in
the mine. The chief value in the ore
is silver. The Argentine has been
idle for many years and it was no
small task that confronted the leasers
in cleaning up the old workings, re-
timbering and generally getting the
mine in workable condition. But all
this has been accomplished and much
new development has been done, re
sulting in showing up a large amount
of ore which the leasers are confident
will amply reward them for their eff

AMOUNT OF SNOW
FOR THIS SEASON ON THE
IDAHO MONTANA DIVIDE

Northern Pacific trainmen who
are familiar with snow conditions
on the Idaho Montana divide state
that the snow is much deeper than
usual at this season. At the east
portal of the tunnel a short dis
lance below Sildix. Mont, there is
a snow guage which last Tuesday
showed the snow to be seven feet
deep. At the Amazon Dixie mine
at Sildix the snow is above the
caves of Manager Everett's resi-
dence, while outlying cabins are
practically covered, only the top
of the roofs being in evidence.
Passage ways have been kept open
which resemble incline tunnels
leading down to the doors. At
Lookout pass which is only 1888
feet above sea level, the snow is
probably 10 or II feet deep, while
on the higher reaches of the di-
vide on either side il is much
deeper. On the high peaks and
ridges there are great combs of
snow built up by the winds, wait
ing the coming of a chinook or a
warm rain to send them dashing
down the mountain, forming great
snOwslides that gather volume and
irresistible force as they speed
down the mountain carrying
everything before them into the
deep canyons far below

the living costs. Employees are sub
ject to no restraint in the matter Of
board and trade There are no COM
pany stores. Boarding houses, both
company and private. are near the
mines.
Married men can rent houses at
from $40 to SIS per month and up de-
pending upon the location and size of
the house. Some of these are owned
by private residents. Good schools
are maintained accessible TO all the
mines, and various religious denom-

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN VEIN
AFTER PASSING THROUGH
A FAULT.

John T.. Ferguson. secretary of the
Pearson Mining company, returned
Tuesday afternoon from the property
of the company on the St Joe. and in
addition to bringing back a very en-
couraging report of operations, he al
so tells of a real thrill he experienced
after being dropped off in the dark
ness at Boyle spur from the Olympian.
the Milwaukee overland flyer. Now
Boyle spur is about three miles and a
half from the Pearson property. and
when Mr.. Ferguson alighted from the
train the solitude of his surroundings
was emphasized by the bowling of the
gale that swept over this section Mon
day afternoon and evening. mingled
with which was the frequent crash of
falling trees 1t was under these con-
ditiOns that he hit the trail for the
Pearson. He had a carbide lamp but
it was soon put out of commission by
the wind. and it was with great diff
ficulty that he followed the trail on
the wagon road grade on either side
of which the snow was soft and sew
eral feet deep, and on one side as the
road follows the mountain side there
was a sheer drop of several hundred
feet. 1t was about 1920 when he
reached the Pearson camp.
Finds Favorable Change.
The next day Mr.. Ferguson inspect
ed the development work being carried
on in the Pearson tunnel, and upon
his return Tuesday afternoon he ex-
pressed much satisfaction with the
which was decidedly better
than it was on his last visit The
main Pearson crOsscut, after cutting
the vein which is now being drifted
upon, was continued a considerable
distance and finally struck dixie the
then following the contact
between the quartzite end dixie and
finding more or less copper ore. This
work giving no evidence of improve
ment, work was transferred back to
the vein in the crosscut and drifting
started westerly The vein was
strong, carrying much iron and some
copper and was about the width of
the drift The drift has now been ex-
tended about 400 feet About 80 feet
back a fault cut the vein and upon
passing through it a decided change
was in evidence. Up to that time the
vein had been perfectly dry, but after
getting beyond the fault considerable
water made its appearance and still
continues. Besides retaining it's min
eralized character, the vein is now
heavily stained with copper and is in !
all respects more favorable to ore As
suming that the present course of tire /
vein will continue, it should intersect /
the main vein in about 400 feet and at
a depth of about 900 feet. The show
ing encourages the belief that by the
time the intersection is reached. and
possibly before, the drift will find
copper ore.

MINERAL INDUSTRY
.OF STATE OF IDAHO
HAS A GREAT FUTURE
Annual Report of Inspector
of Mines and Its Many
Interesting Features

THE ANNUAL report of the min
ing industry of Idaho for the
year 1922. by Stewart Campbell
state mine inspector has been
received. The Miner has already
published the total mineral production
of the state as whole and the pro-
duction by counties. obtained from ad-
vance sheets through the courtesy of
Mr.. Campbell The complete report
contains 2O9 pages and contains vast
/ fund of valuable and practical infor-
nation regarding the mineral re-
sources and mining industry of the
state. Mr. Campbell first calls atten-
ton to the failure of a large number
of mining companies to comply with
the law which requires annual reports
TO be filed with the inspector and
gives the list of companies which fail
ed TO report During the year the in
spector visited over 200 mines and
prospects, taking him to almost every
county in the state The scope of the
mining industry is graphically outlin-
ed. together with a list of minerals
and non minerals and the counties in
which found Notable activities in
the various counties are prominently
reviewed Number of men employed
and prevailing wages are given. An
insert gives i'm tabular form mine ac-
cidents during the year under the
headings fatal, seriously injured and
slightly injured, together with the
manner in which the accidents occur
red Then follows review of min
ing operations in each county alpha
betically arranged, together with the
names of mining companies with the
address of owner or representatives.
Then follows a list of prospects in
each county with the name and ad-
dress of owner Along with the re-
view of each county is a list of publ
cations bearing on the mineral re-
sources of the county A list of mis-
cellaneous minerals and non-miner-
ais, together with the name and ad-
dress. is given. followed by a general
photography bearing on the mineral
resources of the state as a whole Fin
ally the report gives the mineral pro-
ductiOn of the state for the year pro-
duction by counties and the annual
production OF the state for each year
beginning with 1903. Altogether the
report is valuable and exhaustive
which reflects great credit
upon the Inspector and which viii
prove of great value to the mining in
dustry Of the state. A copy of the re-
port may be obtained by addressing
the state mine inspector Boise, Ida
