 south uf the Tiger for wccks past for good tl,,nv
 claim that they have found the continuation o,
 the Tiger lode three miles south from inc Slice,
 Brick CompaDy's location on ,be lode. and ,bs
 appearance of the orc they brough, into c.mp
 seemed to support their assertions. Quite n rush
 ensued, and lively times were seen for some day.
 by the claim hunters the course Of the lode bcIn,
 ulincuit to trace. owing to the broken character
 oi lhe country. Bradshaw and Walker are busy
 at work on their claim, have large vein and are
 getting line ore, and the country around them Is
 full Of prospcctors. Ferther south, J. E. Glas.
 gov has discovered and located on an immense
 outerop Of quartz which he believes to be the
 same old Tiger. The vein appears 10 be, for n
 number Of rods, thirty feet In width-thc ousrtz
 stands up thirty feet above the ground A. J
 Moore Is nt work on his claim, Moore ,S Com lanys claim presents a singular appcarancc-one of the forks of liumbng Greek runs along the course oi the vein for some distance and seems To have cut away ihc west wall Of the lode from
 'he top down To Inc present bed Of the stream,
 a depth of twenty odd feet. Any how. there
 stands the quartz forming the east bank of the
 creek, fifteen 10 twenty feet high and nobody
 knows how ,hick Moore & Co, are blasting A 1 hole through tbc vein from the water level. have 1 got in some eight fect-Arc getting out fret rn,e
 milling silver ore, and are feeling gay. Tbe Bean
 & Bowers Company next north Of Moore .S Co.,
 have got down 10 water level with their shaft and | haVa Al. rl. .Tgf..
 on the original Tiger claims North of them. on ! top of Inc hill, the Simmons Co. are sinking on
 iic lode and getting good rock which grow. bet
 ter as they down. North Of simmons, Mills ' Walker S.Co. are running tunnel into the hill
 10 cut the lode, are in sixty feet and expect to
 reach the ore In ten dave siiI going north, liar.
 ris & Co are running a tunnel in for the lodc-are ! in about hny feet and expect 10 cut the vein in
 thirty feet further Al ihc north end Of this claim
 Is an open cut on StgbblcGcd S Cos gronnd, eX. l posing the vein twenty five or thirty feet along
 Inc hillside; in the cut shah ls started where tc orc Is taken out which is now being smciled ln the furnaces referred io elsewhere Next north
 Is the Riggs, Hammond < Co. claim of | opO feet Near thu northern line of this claim they have started a shan al a distance Of some yards ves;
 from tbc crOppings Of the lode which has con. siderable dip to the west and are down .Ixty fee, expecting 10 cut the ledge al depth of eighty or eightynv feet Golfers claim of 20p lee, is next north, with no work now progressing. as tbc work ou ihe Biggs ground is close to tbe south line and answers for prospecting both claims al that cud, while north Is the MoreIand or dlscuy. cry claim the Tiger. \ te= fcc; from the fine between Golfers clalm and theirs tbe MoreiaBd Company cut through the vein wher, h stands IS feet above the ground. and found t nearly twenty fee, wide. In the cut they commenced shaft which Is down thirty six feet--the shaft is six feet by ten and follows the wesi wall of the vein down. Owing to the dip Of the lode and the character of tbe rock, the shan has to bc tim. bercd heavily IL is on this claim that the richest orc, yet discovered on the lode, is found At the bottom of the shaft the rich pay streak is q inch vide water comes into the shan st the rate of 90 to co tubsful per day. The Company will sink to a depth of 100 feet unless prevented by water before cutting through the vein to the east wall The continuance of the pay streak in this shah, with the gain In width, from six inche. on the surface to three fee. at the present depth, has given all owners on the lode the utmost conn. denee. North Of the discovery claims the lode climbs the hill to the southern summit of Brad. shaw mountain along the slope the claims of Thorn sS Cassidy, Head Beardslee & Co, Poland X Co, all of whom are sinking shafts and getting good ore. North of Poland's claim the lode fol- lows the decline of the mountain into the basln,' and does not crop out to bc easily traced. Some Of the most experienced prospectOrs assert their firm belief that the lodes taken up the basin in a northeast line from PolRnd's on the | north ridge of Bradshaw mountains, and down | its north side, which arc called the MoreIand, | Shelton, Hunter, War Eagle, etc, as though sepe- rate yeins are really, the different croppings of the Tiger lode. The northern line of the War Eagle is at least seven miles from Bradshaw < | Walkers late discovery on the south end of the Tiger, making long lode of it If tho above sup position is correct Yes. h Is claimed that the Tiger lode Is yet Ave or six miles longer on the south.
 In 1885 Silver mountain was discovered and the Mammoth lode, with several others, near the southern end of the mountain were located. W. c. Collier was one of the discovercrs of the Nam moth and one of the first locators on the Tiger, and has prospectod in that section as much as any other man, ard from the day the Tiger was found, has perslstently declared that the great Tiger Is only an extension of the Manmsth.
 Messrs Collier, Harrington, Barnard and oth | CTS have lately been working on the Mammoth i and other lodes, and week ago parties brought 1 the news to town that some prospectors had | traced tue Tiger through froin Bradshaw & Wal ker's claim to the northern locations on the Nam moth ani were certain that the lodcs are identi- ca, and the same This week, Collier and Far s,,, s-,n have roturnsd to town and their teports
