ENGINEERS INVESTIGATE
SO-cALLEO PLATINUM DIS
cOVERlES NEAR WOLF LODGE

In order TO get at the real facts
regarding alleged platinum de-
posits, and acting upon the sug-
gestion of the United States bur
eau of mines. a group of disinter-
ested engineers last week visited
the Homebulder Caribou and
Wilson properties in the vicinity
of Wolf Lodge, near Occur
d'Alene lake The party was
made up of Francis A. Thomson.
dean of the Idaho school of mines.
representing the federal and state
bureau of mines: +. b. Laney.

Ogy, Idaho school of mines. repre-
senting the United States geologi-

gical Engineers: and L. X Arm
strong. of Spokane, secretary of

builder was visited Saturday and
the Caribou and Wilson received
attention Sunday. Numerous and
large samples We're taken from
the three properties which will
contain platinum if there is any
there The samples have been
sent to the chemical laboratories
of the United States bureau of
mines for assay, and also to pri-
vate laboratories of unquestioned
standing. The results will be
formally announced by the engi-
neers making the examination.
Through a singular combination
of circumstances, c. c. Titus, en-
gineer and metallurgist for the
had a pressing en-
gagemenJ which prevented him
from accompanying the engineers
to the Homebuilder, and r. A. Do
2ier, the Grants Pass assayer who
finds platinum galore at the Carl
bou and Wilson. had been called
away for an indefinite stay when
the engineers arrived.

WALLACE TO AVERY ROAD
MAY SOON Be A REALITY
TAKE TRIP TO GET DIRECT AC-
TON IN DEALING WITH
ROAD MATTERS.

At a recent conference of forestry
officials with representatives of the
state highway department at Boise it
was announced that a road from Wal
lace to Avery was a project which the
forest service had definitely decided to
carry out. No information was given
out regarding the proposed route but
this now seems to be quite definitely
determined, according TO information
obtained following the recent visit t,
/ this city of Mr.. McHarg, of Occur
d'Alene, supervisor of the Occur
d'Alene national forest. Mr.. McHarg
is quoted as saying that after all the
routes have been considered, the most
feasible and desirable one is from
Wallace up Placer creek, across the
divide to the Little North Fork of the
St Joe, thence down the Little North
Fork to Avery the distance being
about "a miles. While no official infor-
nation has been obtained on the sub
ject, it is believed that surveys will |
soon be made and that construction !
work will soon follow. Aside from |
the value of this road to the forest |
service, it will prove a great advan-
tage to both Wallace and Avery. In |
fact its advantage to the entire dis
trict as a whole is so apparent that
the county could well afford to coop
crate to some extent in its construc-
ton.
Commissioners Go to Superior.

Taylor, John Wood and D. w. Price
went to Superior to confer with the
commissioners of Mineral county re-
garding the construction Of about half
a mile of road to connect the Bullion
road with the Yellowstone trail at
Tammany. This small section of
road desired is said to be in both Ida
no and Montana and it is probable
that the commissioners of the two
will reach an agreement for
it's construction.
From Superior the commissioners
proceeded Tuesday evening to Avery
where they conferred with citizens i
taking over a bridge across
the St Joe which it is claimed 9

to do when the bridge was construct G

BUTTE VISITORS.

Prominent Mining Men Inspect Mines

Charles A. Booking, of Butte, gem

Mining company, and Earl v Davler,
assistant general manager, arrived in
Wallace the first of the week for the
purpose of familiarizing themselves
with mining operations and methods
in the Occur d'Alene district. The
mine managers placed every facility
at their disposal and upon their de.
parture the Butte visitors were pro-
fuse in expressions of appreciation fer
courtesies shown them.

BIG CREEK HAS BRIGHT
OUTLOOK FOR NEW MINES
CONDITIONS FAVOR WIDE EX-
TENSION OF PRODUCTIVE
AREA.

While the productive area of the
Big creek section of the Occur
d'Alenes has as yet not been definite
~ Defined there exists no doubt in
the mind of those who have made a
careful study of the situation that this
area will be extended and that more
productive ore bodies will be opened
up. This applies in particular to the
section located south from the west
fork and east from Kellogg peak, on
which is located the famous Bunker
Hill & Sullivan mine. From the pres
ent outlook it appears that consider
able development work will be car
ried out on properties in this district
during the coming year
The Big creek district has now two
properties located near the mouth of
the creek producing high grade silver
ore. The Sunshine Mining company
is a steady producer, also the Big
Creek Mining company The latter is
now in the hands of the Bunker Hill
q Sullivan company which has taken
it over on five-year lease and agreed
to advance the sum of 100000 to the /
Big Creek company The general run /
of the concentrates of these producers /
is about 200 ounces of silver per ton,
but special samples of ore have given
results of 25O0- ounces per ton These .
are located in what is To-
cally known as the dry ore belt A
number of other promising properties
are located in this belt which are
worthy of especial mention Among
these are the holdings of the Sterling

has exposed a strong vein

A FT1R BEING dormant and al
! ~ most forgotten for many years
it remained for a group OF
Kellogg leasers to rejuvenate
the old Argentine mine about two and
half miles west of this city, which
now. seems to be entering upon long
period of profitable production. These
leasers are Milton W. Emmett Carl
( Nelson, John Stoykoff and the Stone
hill brothers. all of Kellogg. A care
full investigation convinced them that
there was a large amount of pay ore
available in the old workings, to say
nothing of the possibilities of deeper
development. The Argentine Mining
company was thereupon organized,
practically all of the stock of which is
held by the leasers named above To
finance the enterprise was no small
for it was evident that
to place the property on a productive |
basis would require a large eXpendi |
ture. But with the showing of ore in |
sight financing the proposition was |
taken up with confidence and energy |
that spelled success. Up to date up
wards of $4,000 has been expended in
developing and equipping the proper
ty and the company is now shipping
ore which should soon return the in
vestment and place the Argentine in
the dividend class. Since taking over
the property the leasers have accom-
plished much in the way of prospect
ing and development work, provided
electric power, built a tramway more
than 1000 feet in length, ore bins at
each end of the tram, rebuilt the COM
pressor building and within the past
few weeks have installed an electric
hoist
