DEVKLOPM ENT -A placer ditch which takes the water out of Potosi creek, around the point of the hill to Placer creek, aided materially in determining the strike of the leads, from the flow of same. A number of rtunnels have been driven into the south side of the hill, the longest of which is on the "Maud" claim and is in some 350 feet: another tunnel almost on the line between the "Guy" and "Arthur-' Is in 150 feet; on the line between the "Karl" and "Florence" there is another tunnel of about 100 feei, and several more from 20 to 40 feet on various claims down to the present workings, which is on 1 he "Poticie" claim; this is in 100 feet, is well timbered and in good shape, being equipped with new car and 8-pound rails, blacksmith shop and powder house. The breast of this tunnel at the present time, is in a porph yr tic-quartzite and will cut the quartz lead in about 250 feet farther at a depth of 300 feet from the surface. GF.OI.OGY A most interesting geological condition exists on these properties. Apparently the quartzite is the typical country rock in this district. It is broken in two zones by par allel dvkes of intrusive porphyry, traversing the country" from the northeast to the southwest. Volcanic eruptions have left the formation on the north side of the dyke at a pitch of about 75 degrees, and seems to be charat I erist ic of the gold belt. )n the south side of the dyke the formation seems to be nearly flat 'in places and broken by a series of faults. These faults have a slate filling, with contact matter of hull quartz. It is in this , section (hat bodies of silver ore may be looked for: however, my time being limited. I did not make a thorough investigation of these features, as the gold side offered more than sufficient inducement to confine the efforts of the company to that section of the properties for a long time to come. SUMMARY- While in most countries it is the usual pro cedure, when possible, to follow the ore, and from the vast outcrop of apparently high-grade ore on the norih s,de it would seem the logical way to do would be to work on this outcrop; but. owing to tiie fact that there is yet to be recorded in the Coeur d'Alenes an instance of the vein not growing wider and richer with depth, also as there is n. t s..in'Uient water in the north gulch to run a mill mors than a short time in the spring, and the principal timber on the piopertv being located on the south slope, and that a good road has been built from the country road to the mouth of the present workings (which would entail a great rxpen-c to bring about the same results in the other gulch. a there is only an 'different bridle trail leading in and out among l he placer workings, making it a hard place to build a wagon rondl. and also for the reason that the pitch of the vein is toward the present workings, making the vein practically coining to meet the tunnel rather than pitching away from it. as would have been the case bad ihc tunnel been driven on the other side, and the present workings will enable them to cut the formation 150 feet deeper than would an opening on the croppings on the other side of the. gulch. TRANSPORTATION -The mine is situated about half mile from the county road, a good wagon road has been built from the county road to the present tunnel workings. Five miles to the north is the Idaho & Northern railroad, at Murray, and to the west there is a good, even grade to the Idaho & Northern railroad, at the junction of Beaver and Pritchard creeks. The Northern Pacific railroad extends to the Treasury Vault tip Nine-Mile creek, about seven miles from this property. This road is in excellent condition, over which a stage runs daily. TIMBER There is sufficient timber on the claims for all ordinary mining purposes for some time to come, In closing, I wo lild say that from all indications you will have one of the largest producing mines fft this already famous district of bonanza properties. The reputation of the Coeur d'Alenes is world-wide and the fact that there has been no record of failures, from lack lof ore wherever the mines have been developed, where the mines have been conservatively and intelligently prospected and the veins show increased width and value of ore as depth is obtained. The remarkable increase in values since 1&S4, starting with the production of $258,375 in gold, silver and lead until 1H87, where it. hit the million-dollar point, and from then gradually increasing until 1903. where it reached a production of over $11,000,000, and from then on to the present time, when the official figures of the state of idaho show the enormous production of $1 9.5(30,329, giving a grand total up to that time of $146,283,361. The big mvnes of this dis trict seem lo be growing.larger, and it seems to be only a ques tion of the number of men available in mining and milling facilities to make the production of these mines reach any amount desired This country is certainly the miners' paraiise. I have visited nearly all the large mining centers ei the world, and in no other place have I seen the certainty of success so clearly outlined in legitimate mining enterprises.
