PITTSBURG-IDAHO AND WILBERT MINES OF IDAHO. The Wilbert mine, on Little Lost river, was .'siK'cosf ully operated throughout the year and in October exhibited ex-hibited an ore shoot at its 800-foot level eight feet thick, nearly half of which "was clean 50 per cent lead ore and the balance high-grade milling ore. A new7 electric hoist and fifty-horsepower compressor plant was installed at this mine. A straightening -of the shaft on a uniform i neline from the surface to the 800-foot level was well under way. - A small compressor plant was installed in-stalled on the adjoining Wilbert Extension Ex-tension mine for the purpose of long cross-cut tunnel development. A number num-ber of other small prospects north and south of the Wilbert were operated in a small way and some very interesting lead ore results exposed. Jn the Gilmore district fifty miles north of Wilbert the two principal mines, Latest Out and Pittsburg-Idaho, were producers and a dozen other properties made shipments from this district in amounts varying from one to ten carloads of lead-silver mineral : carrying about ;i0 per cent lead and : fifteen ounces silver per ton and usually usual-ly with a high excess of iron oxide. Install New Equipment. The important equipment feature' of this district was at the Pittsburg mine, whose' splendid ore development in its deepest level at 700 feet below the surface has warranted the installation installa-tion of a substantial mining plant and the construction by raising and sinking sink-ing of a new 50-degreo incline shaft 700 feet deep, which has been equipped with a 250-horsepower Diesel engine power plant, electric hoist and station pumps. The bottom ore resources of this mine well warrant this extensive new improvement, which lias been put in at a cost of about .$250,000. The Allie-Gilmore property, operated through a joint development and transportation trans-portation tunnel now 6000 feet long through' the Pittsburg-Idaho group, was also operated under an intelligent plan of development from its deepest horizon hori-zon nearly 1000 feet below the apex of the vein sysetm, with resulting ore , disclosures of marked interest to the future of the property.
