Show The Western Mineral Survey, Coeur d'Alenes Respond To Continued Development Major Field Developed At Big Horn We in the Coeur dAlenes should feel to situated in a district where so many fortunate be particularly exist and where persistent, well didevelopment possibilities rected development may yield ore bodies- like those in the Sunshine and Chester veins, Robert E. SOrenson, chief geologist for the Hecla Mining So., told the annual convention of the Idaho Mining Association. Sorenson spoke on tee subject Recent Deep Development in the Coeur dAlenes. He said: The Coeur dAlene mining district is one of the outstanding mining districts of tee world WALLACE, Idaho That ImCASPER, Wyo. Horn Basin the of Big portance area as 'one of tee major oil areas of the world will continue to increase during at least the next quarter of a century is in dicated by additional important developments in tee interior portion of the basin, untested until about a year ago. While the Basin has long been rimmed with oil fields producing large amounts of oil from relatively shallow depths, it re- mained for the Pure Oil Comto take the big gamble that Eanyprecipitated tee latest activ- - nd oping one of the richest silver ore bodies ever discovered in tee United States. The development tee hope of many renewed neighboring properties and resulted in an extremely active program of development. Discoveries since that time have served to intensify the search which has resulted in one of the most active programs ef deep development in progress in the United States. Depth Search Sorensen pointed to the probability that most of tec ore bodies which will be found in the Coeur dAlene district in the future will have very meager surface expression, or none at all, and that ore bodies will he found only by persistent and extremely, expensive explorations at depths which have made many people shudder when considering the costs involved. The ore bodies of the future will not be freely given up by nature. On tee contrary, men will make diliproducers of tomorrow by work gent, careful geological coupled with expensive exploration."

There are many different types of jumbo rigs on the market designed for tunnel work, but this is tee first rig of the kind ever, used in 'shaft sinking. The manpower shortage caused by- the war and the' continued shortage of labor compelled mining companies to seek means to step up production and tee only answer was mechanization which was largely of an experimental nature. Hecla has pioneered in this field whenever possible and gained a lot of experience in ' the, operation of tee Osborn tailing dump. The Polaris shaft ' operation was speeded up by the introduction of tee clamshell bucket mucking device. The crosscut work from tee bottom of the shaft is being advanced very rapidly because of a mechanized system on all phases of the work, where it is practicable.' Creek area, Kellogg area Creek area.
