BIO MINES OF
NORTH IDAHO
A Glimpse of the Wealth of the
Coeur d'Alenes
Of tbe great wealth producing
<znl tan in northern Idaho the rpeort
of the state mine Inapector, Robert
N. Bell, for the year 1896, has this
to say:
The sensation of tbe year In our
northern district has been the re
markable preformanoe of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan lead-aivler mine at
Warduer, which, in spite of a nasty
"Ate during tbe early montba of the
year in one of Its principal stopea,
■which greatly retarded production,
the enormous dividend paid from
this property dnrlng 1906 probably
stamps it ia the moat profitable
metal mine in tbe west opreated
through a single entry nnd from a
single ore body, the size and quality
of whloh can be appreciated from the
sise of tbe dividends paid during
the year, which amounted to $2,240,
000, In addition to wbioh there has
been developed in the mine within
the peat 18 months an entirely in
dependent ore channel that had al
ready been blocked and with three
intermediate levela, exposing the
dongeet and largest snoot of mineral
«ver disclosed in the property.
This great development lies below
Ike 3000-foot horizon in the vein
•ad the oie body now exposed by this
new work has an approximate gross
valne of $10,000,000 with definite
.prospects that the work now In pro
grace from the Kellog level, wbioh
cute it at 3000 feet In the dip of the
vein, will treble that estimate
The other great lead-silver mines
of -the Ooeur d'Alenes are all oon
'eianing to show remarkable strength
•ad improvement in their lower levels
-and are all developing and opening
op aew levels at still greater depth.
Tbe Coear d'Alene lead ore de
polite are In sharp oontrast with
those of Utah, for tbe fact that they
invariably oooor In quartzites both
'walls. There Is no limestone In the
-dletriot and very little porphyry or
genons Intrusive rooks.
With the exoeptlou of the Bunker
Bill and Sullivan Ibde, which has a
dip of about 40 degree*, most of tbe
Dssurea are nearly vertical with a
general east and west strike with
vreat tabular ore bodies live to 00
feet wide and 500 to 2000 feet !u
* length, and with rare exceptions
they make a very insignlHcant die
x play of mineral at the outcrop and
'have often required considers ble
development at depth to reach pay
•ore, and aa work progresses down
ward on these great ore bodies their
tenor iu lead and silver gradually
Innreaae* In several important in
stances,.
The Standard mine at Mace, one of
the richest producers in tbe district, j
iBb a to al output of lead aud silver
amounting to over $26,000,000. has
shewn a marked Increase iu silver
values tmm its lower levels during
the |>ast year.
This mine is developed by u long
crosscut tunnel to a depth of 1500
t
i
toct For Mevnral years past it ha*
been o t «rated through a vertical •
-haft 1000 feet deep euuk from a big ;
station at the face of this tuuuel j '
3000 feet iu from the portal Ihta 1
shaft i. uow being eunk deeper at tba
ore body U longer and richer at the
2500 toot level below lb. apex of
the vein then at any other point. j
Ti>* Tiger t'oormau mlue at Burke
ia developed through a 2000-toot
vertical shaft sunk from the surface,
at tbe bottom of which a big pump
wax recently installed, and aluking
r new levela was again commenced.
The Fitaoo mine, >. I iu Canyon
cieek. wai treed from water during
the early part of the year aud has
aiuc« been linking aud opening a
new level of maguiotient shoot of or#
900 -feet long. Thi* mine l« also
over 2000 feet deep below the crop
ping*.
The Morning mine at Mullau lias
recently beeu tupped at a depth of
2000 feet by a two tulle cross cut
tunnel iu and between this horizon
•ud lhe No. u tuuuel, 1000 feel
above, a connection has lieeti made
and several intermediate drifts run.
out of which show much larger ore
bodies than tbe ledge above No. 5.
The Helen mine at Burke is de
vaioped by tunnels dowu to the level
of Canyon ereek aud a vertical sett
sunk fr< iu the surface 900 feet deep,
It has an euormous reserve of high
grade ore, the richest horizon being
u the bottom level. This is the
only ore Issiy devehqied Iu the
k>o*ur d'Alene* that Is accompanied
toy sa igneous intrusion. It ha* a
small dike of diabase acoompauiug
tbe *r* body with the ore form tug on
both side* of the igneous rock, and
is displaying symptoms of developing
Into one of tbe riobest and most
prosductive ore chanuele in the dis
trict.
Tbe famous Hercules mine above
Burke is simply being played with.
It has made over $1,000,000 In
profits during tbe year and could
huve doubled that great record by
crude ore shipments without crowd
ing it resource very seriously. This
mine is developed by cross cut tun
nels to a depth of 1300 feet. A new
tunnel now being run will be a mile
long when completed and will in
crease this depth to 2000 feet.
Tbe Hunter mine at Mullau made
important production of rich
concentrates daring tbe year and is
being developed by a long drain
tunnel that is expected to reach the
ore body within a few months from
tbe mill level that will greatly facil
itate its output and is very likely to
open much higher grade mnieral as
has been tbe uuiform experience of
almost all the big lead silver deposits
of the district where they are fol
lowed by great depth.
This unusual and interesting con
dition of permanency together with
the remarkable dtaclottnre at tbe
Snowstorm dim above Mullaw of
rleb copper carbonate and sulphide
ore is the bast* apod which an im
portant boom in mining stock valises
and new developemt bae teen started
during tbe year and is now in pra
grass In the Coear d'Alenea- Tide
boom la being strongly backed by
local talent and the tendanay of tbe
local press la in favor of tbe outside
iuveator and pronouncedly adverse a*
any attempt at wlidoatliag, and tba
district affords some remarkable op
portunities for speculative inveetrueok
in tbe cheaper sham list, and also
for tbe permanent inestment in lt»
dividend paying steaks which afford*
handsome Interest on tba present
selling values In several inetaacea.
Several new lead-silver producers
bae developed ora bode* and entered
the shipping liat during tbe year
wblcb, when more fully equipped,
are likely to mak* lead silver mines
that will rack high among tbe
dividend payers.. Notably among
them are the Tamarack and Chesa
peake, the Stewart, ttie Success, tbe
Rex. tbe Pittsburg, tbe Callabuu, tbe
Bear-top and tbe ftunraoh.

CUTTING UP A ROYAL YACHT
The Hildegarde, of Teak wood. Being
Made Up Into 8euvenirw
The famous yncht ITildegnnle-, In her
day iou of the finest pleasure craft
afloat, built In 1874 at the order of the
Prince of Wales, now king of Great
Britain, ut a cost of $80,000, IB being
cut to pieces tn Frank It. I.onx's dock, !
ou the Hackensack river, at Hacken
sack. X. J, says the New York Trtb- 1
une. Mr. Ijouk bought her In Decern- j
ber. 1905. from Blakely Hall for about j
$7,000. He thought she xvouhl make a |
freight steamer on the Hackensack.but '
her keel was too deep for the channel. \
ller hull, made of Chinese teakvrood,
U* being cat up Into souvenirs, and one
will be sent to King Edward.
Soon walking sticks, collar boxes and
paper knives will be doing duty In
many Hackensack homes, all made
from the hull of King Edward's for
mer pleasure craft. The steering wheel
of the yacht now adorn* the wall tu
the new cafe of the Hackensack Golf
club, of which Mr. I.ong is u member,
uud another portion of the boat la
used as a bridge across Coles brook, on
the second hole of the golf grounds.
Mr. Long has preserved the prince'*
stateroom and will have It Inserted as
It stands Into his new home and will
use It us a den.
The HUdeganle was sold to George
Gould for $35,0tXk Next she was own
ed by Senator It. M. Whitlock, who
paid $21,000 for her. lie had her fitted
with compound engines in 1807. Blake
ly Hall bought her for $17,000.
The yacht was 127 feet over all, 102
feet water Hue and 8 feet beau). She
wus cutter rigged, and her deep keel,
which required nearly fifteen feet of
water, wus a groat drawback to her
success as a pleasure cruft In American
waters.
