GROSSLY EXAGGERATED
REPORTS REGARDING THE
CONDITIONS AT BURKE

Before the fire that destroyed
Burke had been fully subdued
committee of Wallace citizens
had been appointed by Mayor
Toole to provide funds for the re-
lief of fire sufferers and the Wal
lace Red Cross was on the ground
with food and prepared to furnish
clothing and shelter to all who re-
quired such assistance Forum
ately there was little for these
agencies TO do, as most of those
who were homeless had friends
who provided temporary relief
The Red Cross has had a repre-
sentative continuously at Burke,
and who is still there. ready and
anxious to extend aid to all who
are in need, and a large supply of
clothing has been collected in
Wallace for distribution to those
who need it. As for shelter there
are numerous vacant houses at
Mace and Black Bear which can be
utilized, and if the situation re-
quired il the Federal company
would doubtless open the large
boarding house at Mace, now I'M
occupied. which would provide
temporary quarters for a large
number. SO far as the Miner can
learn and it has endeavOred to
get the facts. there is no founda-
ton for the statement made by
recent arrival from Burke and
published in the Spokesman-Re
view yesterday The Spokane
paper should investigate before
giving publicity to such state
ments.

HECLA PROFITS INSURED BY M|LLIOND0LLAR POLICY

known. Mayor Hugh Toole. of
Wallace, appointed "a relief com

of Thompson Falls sent automo-
biles to Burke to convey homeless
people to their city for temporary
shelter and relief Fortunately
outside assistance was not needed.
but the spirit that prompted the
offers was a fine exhibition of
practical human sympathy which
was greatly appreciated.

BULLION.

James II. Taylor returned Monday
from the Bullion, this being his first
trip since the unusual flow of water
forced the contractors TO discontinue
work in the main drift Mr.. Taylor
found the water still running under
great pressure. a solid stream shoot
ing out of the face near the top and
out into the drift 10 or y feet as well
as other streams under less pressure.
Two men were left at the mine who
will endeavor to get by the water by
cutting into the foot wall. It is posi-
BILE that the flow will subside in time.
but there was no evidence of de-
crease at the time Mr. Taylor was
there.

VALENTINE MINING CO.
SOON CUT STRONG VEIN
FAVORABLE FOR
STRIKING AN IMPORTANT
BODY OF ORE.

h. c. Gnaedinger mining engineer.
drove over to the property of the Val
entine Mining company, near DeBor-
gia, Montana, Monday where ne made
necessary surveys and returned home
the same day. The Valentine is stu
ated about six miles south of Debor-
gia, from which there is "a very good
wagon road The company owns nine
claims which cover the vein for "a dis
lance Of probably a mile. lying west
of and joining the Rock Island group,
now known as the Silver Rock. The
most conspicuous feature of the sur
face showing is a great blowout of
iron which carries values in lead and
silver, and the vein has been furthei
exposed for a distance of probably $50
feet by open cuts and shallow tunnels
1t is said that assays of samples TAX
en- from these surface workings have
run as high as so per cent lead and
40 ounces of silver. Further indicat
ing the probability of ore at depth is
the fact that commercial ore was
found on the Rock Island many years
ago and from which several carloads
of ore were shipped.
The company is now engaged m
driving a crosscut to the vein and il
was to survey this and determine its
bearings with respect to the vein
that Mr.. Gnaedinger went over this
week. The crosscut is following
stringer of quartz which
is probably an offshoot from the vein
The survey indicated that the vein
would be cut at a depth Of about l25
feet and that it should be reached any
time now, the distance to be run de
pending upon it's dip Upon cutting
the vein drifting will proceed east and
additional depth will be gained quite
rapidly. The strong outcrop of the
vein, its highly mineralized condition, A.
and the presence of more or less ga 4
lena in the stringer that is being fol .
lowed. combine to make the outlook '
favorable for an ore shoot when the
vein is reached. Mr.. Gnaedinger was
evidently very favorably impressed
with the property

ANACONDA CAN PROVIDE
A LIMITED MARKET FOR
cOEUR D'ALENE ZINC

r.. d. Caples assistant general
superintendent of the Anaconda
reduction works at Great Falls,
and L. r. Margetts. superintend-
ent of the Washoe smelter at An
aconda, are spending a few days
in Wallace and other places in the
Occur d'AIene district for the pur-
pose of getting in touch with the
mining situation with special ref
erence to zinc. MT Caples made
the very gratifying announcement
that the Anaconda zinc plant at
Great Falls is now in position to
purchase a limited amount of zinc
ore and concentrates in addition TO
the usual supply obtained from
Butte mines, and it is probable
that this excess may be obtained
in the Occur d'Alene district.

SIDNEY STRIKE MEANS
ANOTHER MINE ON PINE
CONTINUATION OF RICH ORE
BODY AT DEPTH OF MORE
THAN 700 FEET.

The strike on the Sidney, according
to reliable information, appears to be
of great Importance and goes far to-
ward verifying the predictions which
for years have been made that il
would prove to be a great mine. Az
ter securing a lease and option on the
property. Fred w. Galloway, mining
engineer of Kellogg, started a cross
cut from the main Sidney tunnel for
the purpose of cutting the vein 700
feet below the surface workings. Sew
eral months ago he reached what was
supposed to be thu VEN, as it's posi-
ton corresponded to that indicated by
the survey. The showing of ore, how
ever, was disappointing, and after
drifting east and west the conclusion
was reached that it was not the vein
sought The crosscut was thereupon
extended further south and after run
ming 100 feet the strike now reported
was made At this time there is three
feet of high grade zinc ore with an
other foot of ore combining both zinc
and lead, the latter predominating.
Another Pine Greek Mine.
About a year and a half or more ago |
a real sensation was created on Pine |
creek when high grade lead-silver ore, /
both carbonate and sulphide, was dis
covered at the grass roots on the Sid /
ney A leasing company was organ
lied and extensive shipments were |
made to the Bunker Hill smelter. |
There was some zinc in evidence also, |
and as depth was gained the amount /
of zinc increased until it became the |
chief product but not until the leas
ers had cleaned up a handsome profit
on lead shipments. More recently a |
shipment of zinc was made to the |
Trail shelter in British Columbia for
by the electrolytic process,
but whether it proved profitable has
not been learned In the meantime
Mr.. Galloway secured an option and
lease on all ground below the leased
ground which resulted in the import
ant strike here recorded. which will
probably add another mine to the list
that will some day make Pine creek
one of the most productive sections of
the Occur dAlene district

Wallace again occupied the att
tenton of the board of trade yester-
day In bringing the matter To the att
tention of the board. the president re-
ferred to the fire situation at Burke
where many homes had been destroy
ed. and that now seemed the oppor-
tune time to get action on the train
service that will make it possible for
employees to make their homes in Wal
lace where conditions are more desir-
able. He suggested that the chairman
of the special committee appointed
several weeks ago TO consider the
transportation question call the com
mittee together as soon as practicable
to give further consideration to the
question, as this seemed to be the
time to carry the subject to a success
ml conclusion if it could be done at
all Considerable discussion followed
indicating a deep interest on the part
of business men TO carry out this long
considered plan.

TARsox.

Consider Plans for Important Work
on the South Vein.
Owing to the absence Of a quorum.
the annual meeting of the Tarbox Mi
ming company last Monday adjourned
until July 30. Work at this time is
limited to surface prospecting on the
Tarbox vein east of the shaft. where
open cuts have disclosed favorable
conditions for ore. 1t is probable that
this work will soon be discontinued
and the development of the big south
vein taken up, which promises even
more important results than have
been developed on the original Tarbox
vein

Up to Railroads.

Herman j. Rossi said that the ques-
ton of providing homes was not one
that should concern the board of trade
at this time; that it is up to the rail
road companies to provide the neces-
sary transportation. and with that Sc
cured the housing question would take
care of itself.
Rush J. White said the railroad COM
panies had no physical difficulties
greater than had been overcome in
other places. He cited the condition
at Butte where employees of the mines
are transported to and from their work
distance as great or greater than
from Wallace TO Burke and where the
snow and other conditions are as bad
or worse. However ne thought the
housing question should also receive
attention. and suggested that the com
mittee take the matter up with oper-
ating companies with the view TO
adopting plan similar to that of the
Bunker Hin & Sullivan company AT
Kellogg i'm providing homes for en-
ployes.
II. j. Hun suggested that the com
mittee also investigate the report
published in a Spokane paper to the
effect that the railroad companies
would prevent rebuilding Burke on the
original site To this Mr.. Ross re-
plied that the railroads had no au-
ihotity 60 take such action that prop
erty owners had absolute title to their
ground and the railroads could not in
terfere with rebuilding so long as
there was no interference with their
right of way.
NJ A. Corner thought the committee
should go into the transportation ques-
ton thoroughly at this time. and cit
ed several cities where similar service
was provided for employees and where
the distance is much greater He also
indicated that the problem could be
solved by two men. but did not name
them.
