from SO up to S35. and is a highly de-

The Idaho and Jumbo Groups Join
ing Nabob on Pine Creek.
Fred w. Galloway has secured a
bond and lease on the Idaho and jun
DO groups of claims, situated on Pine
creek and lying between the Nabob
and Lookout Mountain, joining both.
The bond runs for three years, but
the terms of the deal have not been
given out. The two groups are own

logg. and his brother, Charles McKin-
mis-. who now resides in Texas. Moth

ground has been done in recent years,
though in doing assessment work
about two years ago an important
discovery of galena was made near
the surface on the Idaho which is said
to be the best ore showing on the pro-
perty. The Nabob company had a
bond on the property a good many
years ago. A crosscut was run from
the main Nabob tunnel to the Idaho,
but work was discontinued before the
vein was reached. Under the terms

Director Says No Negotiations for
Extension of Option.
The report published in Spokane
that F. w Galloway has applied for
an extension of his option on control
of the Highland Surprise. which ex-
pired last month, is denied by II. NJ.
Huemann. of this city, a director and
one of the large stockholders in the
company. He says no such proposal
has been made nor are any negotia-
tons pending with other parties seek
ing control of the company. On the
other hand, Mr.. Huemann says the
directors of the company are giving
10 the question of plac-
ing Highland Surprise on a productive
basis but in this they are confronted
with the difficulty of disposing of the
zinc product and unless this can be
overcome there is no immediate pros
pect for resumption of shipments.
Surprise ore is a combina-
lion of lead-silver and zinc. and while |
he prices of lead and silver are high, |
he company is unable to figure |
profit without market for zinc also. |

Letter to Stockholders Reviews Big
Tunnel ENTERPRISE.

w j. Kirby. of Spokane. secretary
of the Montana Idaho Copper COM
pany. has issued a letter 10 the stock
holders of the company in which he
reviews the great tunnel enterprise,
now completed, and gives them the
very gratifying news officially that
the ore shoot has been found carrying
values corresponding to those found
in the old Monitor shaft, from which
quite extensive shipments were made
years ago. The tunnel has attained
depth of more than 1900 feet. In the
course of his letter Mr.. Kirby says:
1T is especially gratifying at this
time to be permitted to send to you
the good news that we have broken
into splendid high grade copper. The
kind of ore that we have hoped and
expected to find when we reached the
vein, the same kind that was in the
old Monitor shaft. In the short dis
lance that this ore has been explored
it has increased in size from a small
stringer to a shoot 2 feet in width To
give you fair idea of the quality of
the ore I quote the values shown by
assay: Gold. .16 ounces at $2O.67 per
ounce, $3.50; silver. 196 ounces at 81
per ounce s196; copper. 266 per cent
at 1876 per pound. S72.25; making a
total per ton of s7761 With such
wonderful ore as this at a depth of
1900 feet directly under the Monitor
there is every reason IN baliava fba+
this is a continuation of the Monitor
ore shoot"
Mr. Kirby further says that the
engineer is now engaged in
working out plans for development
and placing the Montana Idaho on a
productive basis. The tunnel is al
most two miles long. It's portal is
near the Milwaukee railroad track at
Adair, the large group of claims own
ed by the company extending across
he Idaho Montana divide.

From Eugene Thomas it is learned
that Jasper Allamno has made what
appears to be quite an important dis
covery on Jewel gulch, a short dis
lance below Two Mile, near Osburn.
The vein has been opened on the sur
face, showing it to be or feet wide,
and having about foot of lead-silver
ore associated with much iron. The
general appearance of the vein is fav-
orable to ore and the owner will pro-
coed with development as rapidly as
possible.

Vein Being crosscut After Extending
Drift 100 Feet.
William Weyer president of the
Cedar Creek Mining & Development
company returned from the property
yesterday, and reports the plans here
tofore announced being carried out
with satisfactory results. The east
drift in the main or No. tunnel has
been extended 100 feet proving the
continuity of the ore shoot along the
foot wall, and when he left a crosscut
had been started to the hanging. The
first two rounds exposed two stringers
of practically clean galena within a
body of good milling ore. Some dis
lance back a crosscut found a shoot of
ore on the hanging wall two and
half feet wide and il is expected that
the present crosscut will find the
same shoot with a good grade of mil
ing ore between, making the width {.
the pay ore body about 80 feet A
feature is the disappear
ance of zinc in the east drift. Upon
the completion of the crosscut to the
hanging wall, a station will be cut
short distance back from the face
to sinking 200 feet. The
shaft will follow the ore. With this
accomplished Cedar Greek will be
ready for a mill.

MEETING OF ENGINEERS
QUESTIONS DISCUSSED.
FUTURE MEETINGS MINE La
5oR-sYsTEM OF MINE
TAXATION.

A meeting of Columbia section OF
the American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers was held in
the Day building last Tuesday even
ing Raymond Guyer president of
Columbia section, and L. K Arm
strong secretary, came up from Spo-
kane to attend the meeting Among
the matters considered was that Of
holding quarterly meetings Of the Sec
ton in the Occur d'Alene district, at
Kellogg or Wallace. This proposal
met the approval Of all present and
It is expected that the first meeting
under this plan will soon be ANNOUNCE
ed. Monthly meetings are now held
in Spokane, and according to action
taken one of these will now be held
quarterly either at Kellogg or Wal
lace.
Make Mining More Attractive.
Another question, one that is al
ready attracting much attention
among engineers and mine operators,
discussed at the meeting was that of
labor for the mines It has long been
apparent that there is a pronounced
tendency among American boys and
young men to seek employment in
other fields. with the result that the
mines are dependent to great extent
upon the more or less undesirable
foreign element During the winter
men are naturally more disposed to
take work underground. but with the
coming of spring they return to sur
face work in other lines, leaving the
companies to take whatever is offered
in the way of labor resulting in
serious handicap TO operation through
shortage of men and inefiiciency. This
has become a serious problem and
the question confronting the operators
and engineers is how to make mining
more attractive to young men. The
matter was informally discussed 1t
the meeting Tuesday evening and will
receive further consideration at future
gatherings.
Mine Taxation.
Another question considered was
mine taxation in Idaho, this being
that a bill has been introduced pro-
posing the repeal of the present law
taxing net profits and substituting a
system of taxation based upon actual
The impracticability as
well as the injustice of the proposed |
plan was pointed out, and the ques-
ton was referred to the legislative |

ton deemed necessary. The legisla-

ARIZONA CATTLE In GOOD
SHAPE SAYS REPORT

1t has been estimated that Arizona
has available for fall delivery about
10000 head of cattle, 10000 counted
as fat, $4,000 as stockers and the
balance as feeders. In the same line
are 100000 head of lambs, about a
quarter of them fat The official es-
innate of the wool crop is 5,800,000
pounds, about 100000 pounds short of
last year. The mohair crop is set at
100000 pounds from 10000 goats.
Aged steers are being sold, mainly
to California buyers, at around 51a
cents, with butchering cows a cent
lower. Veal calves are selling in Phoe-
nix at Z cents for shipment to Los
Angeles. About 1000 head of white
faced calves shipped from Tucson
brought S12 cents in the Los Angeles
stockyards. Much of the selling is
being done through the Arizona Cat
tie Growers association, acting as
agent for its members.
In nearly all sections cattle are go-
ing into the winter in good condi-
ton, with abundant feed brought by
late rains. Too luxuriant feed has
brought blackleg in some localities. A
similar disorder, hemorrhage septice-
mia, has killed cattle near Elgin. In
Apache, county the dipping of $4,000
head of cattle that have been exposed
to scabies has been completed and
the district around st. Johns soon is
to be thrown open for shipment. 9th
erwise, the state is declared free from
cattle diseases of communicable sort.
