(Continued from Page J.)
Big Missouri is tfhe Mann-Mack
-nzifi proposition. A 800-foot min
eralized belt extends through it,
parrying gold and silver values.
Premier, upon which bulk of real
deveiopment done in the district
has so far beep accomplished, was
purchased fn J910 by 0. B. Bush,
who disposed of it to Neill Trites,
Wood and Wilson. Acquisition of
an iunerest by A.S.&R. Co. is but lat
ter day history. In addition to mine
development, $40,000 was expended
on road construction up Salmon riv
er. The best hauljng time js in
v/inter, and it is anticipated ship
ments this season will amount to'
pbout 3.001) tons. Ore goes to Ta
coma for treatment, and 550 tons
sent down last winter gave values
ot $300 to the ton according to re
port. Work to date is in the neigh?
borhood of about 1,500 feet of tun
nels, and equipment for a 100-ton
mill is to be hauled in this winter.
Little Joker is on the Canadian
side, and is reported to pave ore
bodies similar to Big Missouri. Sort
ed product runs about $150 to the
ton.
Hercules group belongs to F. M
McLeod and associates, Vancouver,
adjoins Big Missouri and is reported
fo have good showings on the sur
iace.
The Forty Nine Mining Co. has
seven fui'l claims, and was sold by
O.B.Bush to C.F.Caldwell, who, with
the assistance of Sam I. Silverman,
organized a 1,500,000 share compa
ny, New York capital being inter
ested. Eight to 20 men have been
working for some months past and
.$00,000 has been expended. Ship
ping product will probably run as
high as $150 per ton, but assays up
to $h000 per ton have be„en obtain
ed from picked samples.
Another Caldwell proposition is
the New Alaska, on the Alaska side
of the line, and consisting of twelve!
claims with apparently immense
quantities of ore running from $3
to $30 per ton in value. Recent un
derground work has shown up an
ore body at least 30 feet in width,
it is stated.
There are numerous other loca
tions. If the district amounts to
one-tenth of what its boosters claim
for it, it will certainly take rank
among the great mineral producing
sections of the continent. There yet
remains the question as to what*
depth the ore bodies extend to, and
this can only be determined by a
considerable expenditure. The Pre
mier, at least, is practically assured
of a very large tonnage, even should
no more ore be found under the
level of the present main adit tun
hel.
