Idaho Mines Bureau Seeks 20000 For Support Officers
Idaho editors note the mining bureau requests 20000 to support the state bureau of mines and geology for 1921 and 1922, claiming it mirrors the last legislature and promises federal matching funds up to 60000 for field research and safety work. They urge preserving the mine inspector post, criticizing Governor Davis for trimming the inspector’s two year budget from 7190 outside salaries to 4300 while salaries total 7200.

Hypotheek and Grosscut Extend Deep Ore Crosscut Reach
The crosscut tunnel by Hypotheek and Grosscut extends over 300 feet toward a vein intersection at about 500 feet depth. Stringers of quartz iron and possible lead were cut, matching the vein material. If a commercial ore body is found, improved shipping to the Bunker Hill smelter via auto trucks would reduce transport costs.

Vein Holds Easterly Course at Marsh Mines Tunnel
Marsh Mines reports two shifts pushing the Russell tunnel east to the end line with about 100 feet advanced since work began. The vein remains well defined and, if it continues, should cross the east end at least 125 feet from the northeast corner, making apex crossing unlikely on the north side line. The company plans to raise on the vein at the east end to test its apex.
