Drifting East to Get Under the Main
Outcrop.
A. p. Reinhardt, manager of the
Iron King Mining company has re-
sumed development at the property,
which is situated two miles west of
Wallace on a vein parallel and be-
tween the Western Union and the
Galena. The vein has been reached
by a crosscnt tunnel at depth of
his friends a mammoth orange of
about 400 feet The vein is from II to
Is feet wide In the east drift there are
stringers of quartz and galena. The
face Of the drift is only about 30 feet
from a point under a remarkably fine
surface showing, from which Mr.
Reinhardt says he obtained samples
of ore running SO per cent lead and
high in silver. The work now being
done is the extension of the drift un-
der this outcrop, with all indications
favorable to finding a body of ore.

Will Sink on Vein Which Has a Very
Promising Ore Showing.
c. d. Muxen, of Spokane secretary
and manager of the Silverado Mining
company. following a recent visit to
the property stated that plans of the
company contemplate sinking 100 or
200 feet on the vein upon which work
was discontinued good many years
ago. This vein was cut by the main
tunnel about 300 feet from the portal
and is probably % feet wide, carrying
low values in silver and lead The
mineral showing together with the
favorable formation encourages be-
lief that commercial ore will he found
in sinking on the vein. The Silverado
company has a mill of rs tons capac-
ity, compressor driven by electric
power and all necessary equipment
for development operations. The pro-
perty is situated a short distance be-
low Osburn Much development has
been done on another vein which re-
suited in showing up considerable ore
in places and which is responsible for
the construction of the mill. The COM
pany owns q claims.

HYPOTHEEK DRIFT IS ON
BIG MINERALIzED VEIN
FINDS CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
TO oRE-MINE EQUIPPED
FOR PRODUCTION.

With all conditions favorable TO ore,
the Hypotheek Mining x Milling com
pany is drifting easterly following the
hanging wall of great vein or min
eralized zone 140 feet wide This
drift is being run from a crosscut
some 1900 feet west of the shaft. the
belief being that this vein is the re-
suit of a union of three veins which
converge in their course west. The
middle one is the original Hypotheel
vein, which has been developed to a
depth of 100 feet and from which
shipments have been made to the
amount of 100000. From the shaft
the other two veins have been pene-
trated by diamond drill. both show
being run toward the shaft is at an
elevation that corresponds to the 400
shaft level and if the work now be-
ing done is successful in finding an
ore body, there will be no delay in
starting production, for the company
has all operating equipment and a
mill ready for immediate use An ex-
animation of the Hypotheek was re-
Gently made by f. G. Gnaedinger, mi
ming engineer of this city, who sums
up his observations as follows:

Discovery Near Osburn Growing in
Importance.

tbiHNt eeAiASNs
When Jasper Allamanno went pros
pecting for water on his homestead
near Osburn, finding a mine was fur
thest from his thoughts. All he
sought was a source of water supply
convenient and sufficient to meet his
modest requirements for domestic use,
but a man never knows what he is
going to strike when he starts dig
ging in the Occur d'Alene district.
Mr.. Allamannos homestead is on
Jewell gulch, the first gulch west of
Two Mile, near Osburn. He started
his search for water in the bottom of
the gulch and almost the first stroke
OF the pick turned up sparkling ga
lena Mr.. Allamanno is not a miner,
but he recognized ore when he saw
it and also the material associated
with it usually found in mineral bear
ing veins The rancher looking for
water Immediately became a prospec-
tor looking for a mine. He has since
made a cut across the vein which
shows it 10 or u feet wide with string
ers of galena, some of which are an
inch thick of practically clean ore,
while the appearance of the vein is
decidedly favorable to an ore body at
further depth. Mr.. Allamanno has
located a group of claims covering
the vein and is now preparing to
start a tunnel which will explore it
1t considerable depth The discov-
cry has attracted much attention and
practical miners who have visited it
pronounce it a remarkable showing.

the state The announcement of the
meeting sent out by Ravenel Macbeth.
secretary of the association. indicates
that subjects of vital Importance to
the mining industry of Idaho will be
discussed and acted upon. The first
and most important will be the silver
question, what can be done to main
tain a fair price for the metal after
the completion of government pur-
chases at the fixed price of 81 per
ounce under the Pittman act. These
purchases will be completed before
the end of the year and unless some
plan is devised, either through gov
eminent action or by a combination
of producers the price of silver will
inevitably drop to the open market
level which is now about Sc cents
per ounce.

a NJ AAAAaA4 IN " Alla1t some TWO
N months ago John Borg, of
w New York president of the
Callahan Zinc-Lead COM
pany announced the purpose of the
company to take up an extensive de-
velopment program with the view to
opening up new ore bodies within the
large Callahan holdings; that the
carrying out of this program awaited
the completion of the examination of
the Callahan by DR.. Walter Harvey
Weed, noted mining engineer and ge-
ologist and that the development
plans would be in accordance with his
recommendations. In pursuance of
this announcement, c. w Newton,
general manager of the Callahan mine.

Borg last week TO proceed with the
first step in the development program
which is to crosscut south from No 4,
the operating tunnel, $500 feet or TO
the southern line of the Callahan
ground
Start Work at cnce.
Mr. Newton stated yesterday that
start this work and within a few DAYS
the crosscut will be going forward
with characteristic Callahan speed.
The crosscut will be continuation of
a crosscut that was started several
years ago from the big ore shoot on
that level and which was driven south
about 300 feet. The Callahan is join
ed on the south by the Idaho & Los
Angeles group. The ground to be ex-
plored by this crosscut lying between
Callahan No and the common side
line with the Idaho e Los Angeles is
all virgin, and there are strong indi-
cations that it is traversed by one or
more mineral bearing veins. It is on
this theory that the work is being I'M
dertaken, and the opinion prevails
that it will result in making an inn
portant addition to the Callahan ore
reserves.

being added to the lead selective flo
