crosscut Believed to Be Nearing the
Vein.
John H. Nordquist, manager of the
Independent Copper Mining & Milling
company, stated yesterday that the
crosscut from the National workings
should soon cut the vein, based upon
survey estimates and the mineralized
condition. Since starting the crosscut
three stringers, some of them carry
ing more or less galena, had been cut
and one of them was followed some
distance, but without showing mater
ial change. The crosscut will cut the
vein at a depth of 1000 feet below the
upper tunnel and 500 feet below the
shaft level. where a good showing of
lead-silver was found, and one that
iustifies the expectation of finding
commercial ore when the vein is
reached.

Boundary county spent S665.240
during the year 1928. and eXpendi-

by individual owners. 122 claims,
represented $4,000, making the
grand total paid out in non-pro-

figures were compiled by Ravenel
Macbeth. secretary of the Idaho
Mining association, the figures
being obtained from the books of
the companies concerned and
from the county records. These
expenditures were distributed as
follows: For labor, 1856, 400; sup

$92.25O; mining machinery, $500:
power, S79.1SO; total for non-pro-

Bonner completed today and
will then take up Kootenai coun-
ty, followed by Benewah, Latah
and all other northern Idaho
counties. This will probably oc-
cupy two weeks. He will then
proceed to southern Idaho and
cover all mining counties. The
work Mr.. Macbeth is doing in
this respect will prove of great
value in bringing TO public atten-

ORE SHIPMENT
TO BUNKER HILL SHELTER
NET RETURN OVER $4,000

The Stratton mine continues to
be the most interesting new de-
velopment in the district. From
an obscure prospect of uncertain
value. within five months prac-
tically continuous ore shoot has
been developed for a length of
$50 feet, two carloads of ore re-
covered in the course of develop
ment, and from present indica-
tions the returns from ore ship
ments will meet all operating eX-
penses. Few mines in the dis
trict have made such a remark
able record. The first carload OF
ore was shipped to the East Hell
ena smelter and gave a net re-
turn of $50 per ton. The smelter
return showed that the ore as
sayed SO per cent lead and 20
ounces in silver. Returns for the
last shipment have not been re-
ceived, but the results of sam
ping at the smelter were receiV-
ed yesterday, Whicn give ilie
on its value. The lead content
was 44.6 per cent and silver 81
ounces, representing about $50
per ton. The shipment was 80
tons and the net smelter return
is estimated at $4,000. The last
shipment was all crude ore as it
came from the mine. There was
also on hand probably II tons OF
Jig product which was not ship
ped. A carefully taken sample of
this product was assayed this
week which showed AZ per cent
lead and 1922 ounces in silver.
With this jig product as a starter
it is expected that another ship
ment will soon be made.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR ORE
At LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
BIG IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN
cRosscUT THROUGH GREAT
FIsSURE ZONE.

Reports from the Lookout Mountain
of Pine creek, indicate that the cross
cut north from the original workings
is entering a BODY OF iead-siivcr ore
This work is being done upon the re-
commentator of Oscar Hershey the
widely known geologist conhecUeu
with the Bunker Hill & Sullivan com
many. who has made a careful STUDY
of geologic conditions of the property
lConditions so far disclosed by the
crosscut have conformed closely to
Mr. Hershey's predictions. 1t was MS
conclusion that the former develop
ment of the Lookout Mountain WHICH
made a good showing OF ore IN
ouartzite formation, was an onshoOt
or branch of the main vein seVeral
hundred feet north and which he des-
ignated as the Great Fissure zone.
referring to this zone he said that II
nrobablv accounts for assuring ana
naturalization in the eastern poruion
0of the Lookout claim. 1t may extend
thence eastward a long distance ana
NAV he the main fissure zone OF the
sidney and the Highland-Sur
mines"
Conditions Favorable to Ore.
After describing the structural con-
-ditions of this great assure zone
which NAV possibly have a width OF
9oo feet or more, Mr. Hershey says:
n,rbare will be a chance for six con-
facts with ouartzite in the walls. FUR
thermore. within the fractured zone
there will be three belts of broken
ouartzite extending obliquely across
tbe zone. Thus it seems to me that
the structural conditions make posi-
h1a lead ore shoots of considerable
size Under the great landslide on
+bo Dewev claim conditions appear
very favorable for ore, and the same
is true of the great assure zone. I'm
less these sections have been EXPLORED
and found valueless. I will look upon
the development of your property as
rather attractive speculation
Ore Increasing.
The crosscut is now little more
than half way across the zone ue-
scribed. From the time the zone was
entered a little ore has been encouh-
tered, and during the past week there
bas heen a marked increase. At the
nrsent rate of improvement the cross
