Idaho Mining Outlook Allots 1920 Gains In Silver Lead Zinc
The United States Geological Survey July August bulletin reviews Idaho mining in the first half of 1920. It notes substantial increases in silver lead and zinc production in the Coeur d Alene district and credits Yukon Gold and Gold Hill Iowa at Quartzburg with major Idaho gold output. Copper shipments fall, while new mills and improved labor conditions hint at further gains. The report highlights Bunker Hill Sullivan and Northport operations and projects higher 1920 output if rates hold.

Work on Red Monarch to Start in Ten Days
T. H. Keefer of Carbonite is appointed superintendent of the Red Monarch Consolidated Mining company and says work will begin in about ten days after his return from Montana. The idle property on Missoula Gulch, near Carbonite, covers about forty claims and includes a 4000 foot crosscut tunnel with three strong veins. The first vein near the portal shows persistent head silver ore, with a raise yielding almost two feet of clean galena after 76 feet of extension. Plans may include sinking a shaft to prove ore extent, with drifting likely for further vein exploration. The plant includes a large compressor, steel harpening outfit, and ample facilities. Fifteen to twenty men have worked there, and Keefer expects the old crew back.
