NEWS OF EXTENSIVE ORE BODY. riynn (iriiiip of Minium rviiir Wallace to IIh Workml Mf-olii, Wallace, Idaho, August 27. Tho Flynii group of claims aro to bo worked at onco Tho l'lynn group consists of 22 claims, located iii 1887 liy tho Flynn hrothers. Tho olaims'aro all ou tho big lead, which is clearly defined from tho Helena-Frisco mino nn tho Canyon ireek sido to tlm Morning mine, and liuve a continuous lead of over two miles iu length. Fourteen of tho laiins lmvo been patented for several years and the other oight aro to bo pat ented this fall, and aftei tho survey has been mailn Montana partiosof unlimited capital will tako tho entire property on . bond and at ouco commence system atic development upon it. In tho minds of mining men thero has never existed much doubt as to tho Flynn group. It could hardly bo pos sihle that a break would occur in tho mineral lead on which tho clainia aro located, and at either end of which such bonanza oro bodies as tho Helena Frisco ami the Morning mines huve opened, ino j'lynn group haa two inllos of this saino load, between those ! hi o uig producers, ami Burcly covers one of tho greatost and most oxtensivo ore bodies iu tho Northwest A lot of work has been done on the property lu the year sinco tho claims havo been located, but being a deep mine proposition, tho owners havo been unit bio to dovelop it into a producer. Last year u tunnel was run to tap tho lead below tho monster iron rnnniuo of tho Mimmit 'I'l.ia irn u-,n u r, elevation of fully 5,000 feet and covers 1 an era almost as larue aa Wallace, Altogether over 0,000 feet of tunnel has been run on tho variou claims, and the mineralization lias been good in all of it. None of this tunnel worked was sufficiently extensive, however, to ex plore the ore bodies. On tho Iron-Silver claim tho lead was tapped with a tunnel of 401 feet. Tho face of thu tunnel was quite freoly mineralized for a greater part of the distance.

A tunnel from tho Canyon creek sido in tho vicinity of tho Frisco would cut tho lead on the Flynn group nt a depth of nearly 3,000 feet, aud it has long been contended by practical mining men tlmt this is the most advantageous puiut from which to open up tho prop erly. LOOKING FOR IDAHO COAL. Would be a IIIk Tlilnu' for the Kaltroail and for I.t-wUton. The discovery of immcnte coal de posits near Lewistou Idaho, will, it is believed, have great influence in the fu ture railroad construction iu that sec tion. The deposits are located about 13 miles from the mouth of the Grand Bondo river, and if tho results of de velopment meet tho elaborate indica tions, they promise to oxert a material influence ou tho railroad situation iu tho Snake river country, says tho Low iston Tribune. The O. It". & N. Co., it is said, is anxiously investigating coal prospiects in tho basins of tho Co lumbia and Suuko riters with tho hope of providing and adequate supply of coal for its system aud if sucli is the case tho discovery of a good quality iu sufficient quantity on the Grand I'onde would be a most welcome devel opment to that road. OREGON COAL" FIELDS. The Geological Survey rulilUhe. n I.ate lteinrt on Them. Washington, August 27. Tho coal fields of Oregon aru thus summarized by the latest report of the geological survey: The coal fields of Oregon, so far as yet known, nil lio west of the Cascade rmigo and north of Koguo river. Must of them aro among tho mountains gen erally known in Oregon as tho Coast range, but others occur at tho western foot of the Cascade range. Four fields will bo noticed tho upper Nohuloin coal field, iu Columbia county; the lower Nehaloni 'coal fields, iu Clatsop county; tho Yaquiua coal fields, iu Lincoln county and the Coos Bay coal Holds, in Coos county. Traces of coal havo been foud iu muny other parts of tho statu. Tho gieatest hindrance to tho development of the Oregon coal fields ia tho lack of transportation. Work I'mgraiHliiK on the Kimberley.

Good tidincs of t,1B fnI,i(1 "dvanco ot mining operations iu tho Mount Baker gold fields wero taken to Whatcom by II. G. Anderson, who arrived fiom Bed Mountain, via Chilliwack and Vancouver, B. C. Mr. Audeivoii was ono of tho discoverers of tho Auderson-Schrimsher gold ledgo on Bed mountain. In the Blade ho says the prospects of the leading ledges in that district uie most encouraging, and owners aro pushing dovelopmont work ?-'' work on tne rost-Liamnert ledges has been suspended for a few days, awaiting the arrival of engiues aud fans with which to drive away the sinoko which arises from constant blast ing iu the tunnel. All minora who havo vi.'ited the property say that it is very rich. The Gold Basin ledge on Rod moun tain, iu which Charles D. Lano, of San Francisco, and J. O. Carlisle are inter ested, is said to be a veritablo bonanza to tne owners. Mr. Anderson met Mr. Carlisle at Chilliwack and that gentle man told liiui that assays made from ore taken from the Gold Basin ledge ruu as high as $30,000 per ton. The gold can be seen with tho naked eye and stands out in beads on the quartz. It is similar to the quaitz found in the Lone Jack ledge, owned by English & Sou. It appears that the location of tho international boundary line is in ques tion, aud fears are entertained that lied mountain and other mountains in that viciuity may possibly be in Brit ish Columbia. According to field notes of Provincial Surveyor Dean, the line is supposed to cross at Box canyon at the coullueuce of East and West Silicia creeks. O'vneis of claims at Bed mountain have taken out mining licenses in British Columbia and are also making filings at New Westmin ster iu order to hold their claims in case they find that their claims lie iu British Columbia. The Bed Mountain Gold Mining Company has u large force of men nt work driving a tunuel in to tap its ledges. Cabins are being built for wiuter quarters. ENOUGH ORE FOR TEN YEARS.
