Advices received from Willow Creek
state that telluride ore of an average
value of $12,700 and us high as $80,
000 per ton has been discovered in the
Mabie mine and excitement in the
camp is running high.
The vein which was discovered re
cently Is in the hanging wall and one
half to three-quarters of an inch In
thickness.
On account of there being no facili
ties in the district to properly treat
the ore, it is being sacked and then
shipped to the Tacoma smelter. The
ore runs as high as -50,000 to the ton
and W. Hookings, the assayer at the
Martin mines, gives an average value
of $12,700 for the assays ho recently
made.
The history of the Mabie mine is
unique from the fact that the manage
ment installed the mill late last sum
mer against the advice of several min
ing engineers and other operators in
te district, as very little development
work has been done and they did not
think the indications justified the ex
penditure for a stamp mill.
The stockholders of the Mabie at
their annual meeting July 11 elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year: W. E. Bartholf, president; Fred
Haubner, vice-president; and Tom Cav
eny, secretary and treasurer.
On the same day George R. Boomer
closed a deal with Wm. Martin foi the
Sun, Moon and Star Claims, knqwn as
the Ike Rosenthal property, for
000.
