ARGENTINE PLANS
 ORE SHIPMENTS

The Argentine Mining Syndi- cate, of which Clay Porter, noted mining man, is manag- ing director, is planning ship ments of high-grade ore from the Kenneth property near the headwaters of the south fork of Glacier Creek in the Bear River district, it was announced by MT. Porter this week.
 MT. Porter, who located and placed the noted Porter Idaho property on productive basis, began work on the Kenneth group (formerly the Mobile) late last year under a leasing arrangement with the owners, H. P. Gibson and l.. l.. Legge, He at that time characterized the property as the most prom ising he had ever seen in the district. Samples taken from a short tunnel on one of the leads gave extraordinary val ues in silver, nearly 1000 ounc- es being shown in one instance. Argentine Mining ads,LGle Later, MT. Porter in association with Messrs Legge and Gibson formed the Argentine Mining Syndicate on a unit basis and following closely along the lines of the old Porter Idaho Syndicate, with which he so successfully developed the Por ter Idaho property.
 During the present season the Argentine Syndicate has engaged in driving a drift tun- mel which is now in about 75 feet and is said to show a full face of ore carrying veins of high-grade a foot or more in width. Values contained in these high-grade shoots are said to be excellent and will yield a good profit over and above mining, transportation and smelting charges even un~ der the depressed conditions in the metal markets.
 The Syndicate is reported to have let contract for trans porting 50 tons of ore from the mine to Stewart wharf and plans to start shipments in the the near future.
