MORE FINDS REWARD
 PROSPECTING PLAN
 ON MOUNTAINVIEW

Plans inaugurated by Mana ger Arthur Moa for subjecting the Mountainview Gold Min ing Go. properties to a thor ough surface examination aim ed at tracing out to the fullesl possible extent the ramificat- ions of the vein system, are meeting with splendid success and have resulted in the dis covery of several new ore bodies of great promise nol heretofore known to exist.
 Among the latest finds is a vein ranging from 12 to IA inches wide which carries a silver content ranging around $180 per ton in value. The lead has been traced over a considerable distance ana gives promise of developing into a highly valuable ore body. Manager Moa considers the discovery one of the most important that has been made.
 Drifting operations are also  continuing on the gray copper vein opened up recently. This vein is being explored through 3 shaft with drifts running on the ore both ways. Both drifts are said to show a full face of ore at present.

FIFTY CENTS Ak[hiH
FINAL SEARCH FOR
 CYCLONE JOHNNY FAILS

A final search for John S. (Cyclone Johnny) Burndgen
 his remains, conducted last week at Tide Lake by Con table Potterton, John Camp oell, Fred Jancowski and E. E. Charlton, failed to reveal the slightest trace of the missing man, who has not been seen since the afternoon of July E.,
 Employing a boat taken to the lake August 25, by Messrs. Campbell and Jancowski, the surface and shores of the lake were subjected to a thorough search but without result.
 Despite his penchant fol making solitary excursions into the hills, Burndgen has been gone so long this time that there appears hardly a doubt that he has met with some mishap and his friends have abandoned hope for his reap pearance.

Several officials of Chiet Metals Mining Go. arrived Saturday from Seattle. and left for the company proper ties southeast of the Big Mis- souri, where Emil Davis, man. ager of the company has been driving a tunnel on the main vein since early in the sum- mer. This tunnel was started two years ago and driven about 200 feet in the succeed ing interval. It is understood that the development program contemplates extending the tunnel about 100 feet farther during the present season. The ore is a grayish quartz heavily mineralized with galena over a width of four feet and Is said to carry commercial val ues.
 The personnel of the com pany is somewhat unique in the degree that it is composed largely of officials and mem-
 
 bers of the Seattle Fire De- partment.

The Premier Company has suspended operations on the Cantu group after failing to encounter expected values dur ing the course of open cut and diamond drilling operations on he quartz porhyry vein which cuns through the property. The company is apparently not greatly interested in the several massive galena show ings from which shipments were made last fall and has made no definite effort to ex- plore them Four diamond drill holes about 200 feet lons are said to have been driven on the porhyry vein, but devel- oped no values comparable so those found on the surface during examinations made last fall.

MORE EVIDENCES OF
 BIG MISSOURI MILL CONSTRUCTION PLANS

That the plans of the Big Mis- souri Mining Go. for installing a mill are taking concrete form, is again evidenced by a statement published in the August 27th issue of the Alas ka Weekly, to the effect that a 200-ton mill is now being de- signed by Duncan MacVichie, whom it characterizes as an expert in the line of mill con struction.
 The statement practically confirms the report published in these columns last week, but erroneously attributed to the Mining and Engineering Record, of Vancouver. The published statement actually appeared in the Canadian Mining Journal, published in Eastern Canada and consider ed one of the best informed and most reliable mining pub- hcations on the continent. As will be recalled by readers, this journal, which undoubted- y derived it's information iron. authentic sources, stated that Capt. MacVichie had not only been retained to design the proposed mill but would also superintend it's construction.
 As neither of the publications quoted are apt to make such positive statements except oll good authority, there appears no reason to doubt that the much anticapted mill installat- ion plans are actually under way as indicated.

PORTER IDAHO
 INCREASES PRODUCTION

Ore production on the Porter Idaho has increased to the point where weekly carload shipments of 40 tons can be maintained until the close ol the summer period. The first of the proposed weekly con- signments, consisting of 2U Cons. left on the Prince George Saturday, and will be follow cd by a similar sized shipment on the next c. N. R steamer. The shipments at present are divided into half carload lots at the request of the steamship officials to avoid delaying the departure of vessels beyond the scheduled sailing hour. On arrival at Vancouver the frs, half carload is held until the second arrives, after which the orc is forwarded to the :.melter at Trail, B C. m car load lots.
 Ore is now being taken out and sacked at a much faster rate than it can be packed down the mountain by Packer Jack Kenny with his presem equipment. An average of 100 sacks day is mined and sack ed from one of the several working tunnels, the ore from the others being stacked up until later. Packer Kenny has secured ' more head of stock,-all he could get-to meet the increased transport ation demands, but it will be some time before he can catch up with production.
 Company officials state that the ore now being handled carries values that will yield a very good profit. Work on the winze started last year has been suspended at a depth of no feet because O. the long lift and several new tunnels have been run on tn. same vein farther up the hill. Including the two old tunnels. there are now 5 tunnels dirv, en on this vein, all of which yield good ore.
 J. D. Shannon, mine engineer, has completed a surface sur. vey of the entire Porter Idaho group and has also surveyed and mapped the underground workings and the various ore bodies.

COINS FOUND In
CORNERSTONE
/. MONTEZUMA
BUILDING

Nogaies Of the early days was
recalled at 5:15 o'clock Friday
afternoon when a box placed in the
cornerstone Of the old Montezuma
Hotel building at the time Of its
erection back in 1887, was opened
by Orlopp & Kerr, contractors for
the new hotel building.
Considerable interest was tax
en- in regard to what might be
found in the cornerstone, parti-
cularly because of the report that
it contained a couple quarts of
old "licker," but there was no
liquor. There. was found six coins
and a number of decayed poker
chips, also a bar check. One of
the coins was an American half
dollar of 1858, an American quar-
ter of 1876, Mexican 25 cent
piece, Mexican five cent piece, a
Chilean coin, and another coin.
There was a copper cover on the
box, and inside, the remains of an
old cigar box in which he coins had
been placed. Moisture had crept
into the box during all those long
years, causing the box to decay
and the coins to rust.
Mayor Duane Bird, Secretary
J. B. Bristol Of the Chamber of
Commerce, Al Peck, Max Mule;
and w. C. Vinegar of the Sonora
Bank & Trust Company, William
Tidwell, and other were on hand
when the box was opened, but the
most interested spectator was DR..

there was a reason why he was So
interested, for Purdy was present
on that memorable day 80 years
