surRo TUNNEL PROSPECTING:
Four Drifts OF Explerssien Being
Run-Assays OF ga Obtained.

Three now prospecting drifts have
been started from the Sutro tunnel and
are, with that between the Occidental
ledge and Star lode, being driven ahead
by regular shifts. The latter drift is
now in 70 feet ana In country rock.
The arst Of these new drifts starts
north near the east wall Of the Star lode
and is being run in the ledge. The vein
of this lode, where cut by the Sutro
tunnel, Is 100 feet wide and contains
low grade quartz. The drift just started
was last evening In 20 feet and had
already encountered ore assaying $S4
per ton.
The next drift 10 running south just
inside the foot wall OF the Star lode, and
was also last evening In 20 feet. Here.
also, nne ledge matter 10 found to exist
and the quartz yields low assays.
When these drifts have progressed
sufficiently, crosscuts will be run from
wall to wall and the whole vein DO ex-
plored thoroughly. The prospects are
encouraging and It looks as though Mr..
Sutro would get ore for the mills no
contemplates erecting. -
The third prospecting drift IL north
along the west edge Of the assure OF the
Occidental ledge. Where that ledge 10
intsrsectsd by the tunnel there 10 moth.
ing but q Assurs from which, however.
when cut, water gushed In sheets. The
tunnel seems to have struck o pinch In
It. This will be followed, and will
doubtless be found to widen and expand
and when II does the chances OF finding
ore are good. The prospects at any rate
are worth the venture and 1t would not
be surprising II better ore should DO
found here than in the broad Star ledge
further east, which is not sufficiently
concentrated to be very productive OF
much rich ore.
