As noted by the figures, much work
The announcement maue in
these columns last week, that the
Buckhorn mine would start opera
tions in the spring, is a source of
congratulation, especially when the
further announcement is made by
President Stapish that, by a change
of management, the hnp-hazzard
methods of the past arc at an end,
and that work will now go ahead
on this great property in keeping
with its importance.
The Buckhorn group is develop
ed by 1600 feet of tunnels. There
are 5000 tons of ore on the dumps,
valued at $60,000. Then- is n good
wagon road from Bonners Ferry to
the property. A stamp mill has
been erected, and is ready for op
cratioiis. The new Spokane & In
temational Railway will run with

has always been a source of dis
it
The Buckhorn group of mines
are situated in the famous mineral'depth
belt of the Pan Handle of Idaho,
twenty miles north of Bonners
Ferry, a town on the i.reat Nor
them railroad, 109 miles east of
Spokane, Washington. There is a
good wagon road which was con
structed by the company at a cost
of $7000,' leading from Bonners
Ferry to the mine, this road being
built on an easy grade and is in
lias been done, but it has been
spasmodic in duration, and under
various managements, and, there
fore, lacking in system.
The Buckhorn has the appear
ance of a great mine, and if the
* .... n t„*
stock holders will but expend the
. r , 1 .
necessary cash to further develop
it, and to mill their ore, there is no
queetio but that it will become a
rich dividend payer to the stock

holders, and a valuable adjunct to
of the year. The Spo.ane & In
temational Railroad company is .
building at the present time from j
Spokane, Washington, to connect i
with the Canadian Pacific in Brit-j
ish Columbia. This road wbcnloWer
completed will rca-h a point with
in six miles of tho mine and make I
the mine easy of access. This will j
be a great saving to the company,
not only in the cost of freighting
supplies to the mine, but in ship
ping concentrates from the mine
to the smelters.
The group consists of the follow

these claims, is that wherever it
; crops and has been uncovered it
shows remarkably good values for
its entire length of 6600 feet, the
assays taken from out the crop and
surface open cuts show values
ranging from $11 per ton on the
Hoosierboy, the most northerly
: claim, to over $18 per ton on the
Scout, the most southerly claim,

j ground on the cl.ini. lice wtii for
1 continuous tunneling, and great
depth can be obtained by either
short crosscut tunnels or one con
linuoq* tunnel run on the vein,
This method of operating a mine,
is much more inexpensive than
,
depth of 800 feet on the Hoosier-1
hoy and 1600 feet on the Scout, |
giving an average depth of about
1000 feet through the entire length
of 6000 feet. Owing to the peculiar
contour of the ground, this method
of operating and developing the
mine by tunnels driven continu
ously on the vein has been adopted
and is being pursued by the com
pany. The ore is a friable quartz
porphyry, carrying the gold either
free or in combination with iron
sulphurets, is easily and cheaply
mihed, readily crushed, amalga
mated, concentrated and cyanided.
So far as the ore body has been
opened, it is largly free milling;
about 60 per cent of the values can
be saved on copper silver plates by
amalgamation, the balance
about 40 per cent on concentrating
tables used in connection with the
copper plates at the mil! thus in
suring a high extraction of the
values in the ore at the mill. These
concentrates can either be cyan
ided at the mine or shipped to a
smelter at a small cost for trans
portalion. Tests of the ore with a
view of cyaniding at the mine have
already been made and show that
satisfactory results can be ob
tained by this method of treat
ment.
having to drive deep shafts and
maintaining expensive hoisting
machinery. One continuous tun
nel mil on the vein would gain a
or
j No. 4, $133 per ton. This proves
conclusively that ore is richer in
than near tho surface; the
point where tho rich ore was found
is at a depth of about 200 feet
j from the surface, following the dip
of the vein. This tunnel will be
extended until it intersects the
south end line of the Buckhorn
ground, a distance of SIX) feet,
i where it will have a vertical depth

two to eight feet wide; tunnel No.

been explored in this tunnel, yet

that it is over eight feet wide,

Development
The work of development on the
group at present time consists as
follows:
Hoosierboy
There are three
on
feet wide. There can be no que»
lion but that this shoot continues
through this ground as it has al
ready been proven that it goes even
deeper than the bottom of the
wbcnloWer tunnel, where tho fissure is
wider than it is in the upper tun
I nels and more regular. When this
j tunnel is extended, as heretofore
indicated, it will open up a large
ore reserve, sufficient to keep a mill
in operation at a profit for several
years, during such time deeper tun
nels can be driven and more ex
tensive ore bodies blocked out
ready for future extraction. One
of the good features of this mb e
is that by driving tunnels on the
vein and blocking out the ore ready
for «n.n.ng, nearly enough value
"'111 >;>• received from thc ore taken
out of such tunnels to pay for de
velopmcnl work. •
Buckhorn—There is across cut
tn nel cutting the vein at a (lepth
of 20« feet, and 275 feet on its dip.
1> rom this cross cut there is a drift
of 70 feet on the vein towards the
Hoosierboy ground thus proving
that the ore extends through the
Hoosierboy from the portal of tun
no) No 3 to this erosscut, a dis
tance of nearly KXK) feet; continu
ing on south nearly 300 feet from
th , r8 cro ff cut '* wro . ,s an , °p u en cu '
where the vein shows both good
width and good values.
Kcystone-'lhero arc two tun
nels, No. is run on the vein 147
feet; No 2 is on the vein 130 feet.
In No. 2 tho ore body is from three
to eight feet wide with values of
upwards of $10 per ton. The on
in tunnel No 1 is not so wide, but
exceedingly rich, samples having
f how . n values . n \. hi « h a f 1(103 l"' r
ton, in tunnel No. 1 there is a
the vein, all in ore, average values
«SS per Ion.
Scout - The most southerly claim
there is an immense out crop show-;
ing the vein where it is exposed
to ho over o0 feet wide. On the
west side of this outcrop a pros
pcct shaft lias been put d<nvn to
a depth of 65 feet, the coliar of the
shaft is all in ore showing high
values. 1 his abaft exposes the
lincst body of high grade ore Unit
has been opened on any part of
the mine. Samples taken from
'the dump assayed from $26 to $99
per ton. Thirty feet east of this
shaft on the opposite side of the
out-crop, another prospect shaft
has been put down eighty feet in
depth; samples taken from me ore
that was taken out of this slu.ft
shows values ranging from $7.00 to
$26.00 per ton; extending from this
shaft there is a cross drift in 20
feet, this drift encountered an ore
body eight feet In width, assaying
20.00 per ton. An average sample
takt .„ froln the W g out-crop l>e
twee» these two shafts, 25 feet
across the vein and aside from any
ricli chutes, assays $4.49 per ton.
There is a goed profit in mining
and milling this low grade ore,
hence it can readily be seen what
the profits will he from the very
large bodies of high grade ore al
ready exposed.
Development of the Lucky Three
and two fractional claims consist
only of prospect holes sunk at var
ious points in the out-erop, and
shows ore of gook milling value.
Total amount of development work
on the property at present is about
sixteen hundred feet.
Ore Reserve,
A conservative estimate of the
amount of oro on the dump at the
portal of the different tunnels and
prospect shafts and above the tun
nels ready for sloping and milling
at the present time is about 5000
tons, which will mill about $12.00
per ton.
