Lookout Mountain opens up a strong ore showing
The Lookout Mountain claim on Pine Creek reveals a large vein of cerusite lead carbonate ore, with extraordinary silver and lead assays but no zinc. The vein, 20 feet wide at first, shows extensive drilling results including 44 ounces silver and 26 percent lead, and 69.7 percent lead in hand samples. A carbonate ore depth introduces potential for a permanent deposit as preparations grow to expand operations with a single crew and bunkhouse.

More ore at Sidney in carbonate vein boost
Ruch, who now holds the Sidney claim formerly held by Webber, Papesh and Simonds, has located carbonate ore in a new lower tunnel with expected 100 feet more stoping. Shipments from the vein to Bunker Hill smelter netted about 30 per ton, with past leasees cleaning up about 17500. Ore from Sidney is expected to resume after a new wagon road around the Nanamaker homestead is finished, as Les Gay’s crew reports high grade galena in the lower tunnel drift.

Galena Showing Good Ore on Lake Gulch Property
Development at the Galena claim formerly the Chicago-Boston has advanced about 75 feet along the vein with strong assay results. Across 2 feet No 1 yields 1.9 ounces silver and 2.9 percent lead while No 2 across 2 feet reports 3.7 ounces silver and 5.2 percent lead. No 3 across 3.5 feet shows 68 ounces silver and 7.2 percent lead, indicating improving ore contents as drift continues. If long enough to sustain tonnage Galena may become a producing mine in the district.

Fortunes Made in the Leasing Game at Old Mines
Leasers in the Coeur d Alene district profit from high grade ore by leasing existing mines. The Hunter mine at Mullan shifts from low to high grade production under a sliding royalty, with some crews shipping ore carrying up to 70 ounces of silver. Leasers advance payments on ore cars, and show potential to sustain years of activity despite limited equipment.
