The contractors have resumed work on the
500 foot level, and are pushing the drifts east
and west ahead as fast as possible. They are
opening up a great deal of exceedingly rich
ore, aid at present this level bids fair to be
the most productive yet opened.
On the 40O-foot level the breast of ore now
opened is in the neighborhood of fifty feet in
+, width, some of which is Of a remarkably high
grade.
They are extracting about twenty-five tons
of first class, and fifteen tons of second-class
ore daily. .t u ~ug8Args
The mill is working the average amount Of
ore daily.
Hereafter, ten by ten timbers will be used
exclusively in this mine.
The Western World, fa.
Owned by Messrs. Owsley, Airport, Ransom
g. Frank, is situated directly west of the
Andy Johnston. .o .... ,.
Two shafts have been sunk to water level,
The east shaft is down thirty feet in the ledge,
allin low-grade ore. A crosscut is run south
from the bottom of the shaft twelve feet, pass
ing through some streaks of far looking ore.
This crosscut found no walls, consequently
the width of the ledge at this point IS as yet
undetermined.
The west shaft is down twenty-five feet in
the ledge, showing in the bottom considerable
vein matter, and some good looking ore. A
lot of ore was extracted in this portion of the
mine which assayed As or. in silver and 81 in
gold. AT the
Morning Star.
The new shaft on the east end of the mine is
down about twenty feet it is sunk south of
the groupings, and should they not strike the
ledge (Which dips to the south), a crosscut
will be started north. Should this crosscut
develope a body of ore, this mine will have a
chute Of ore nearly four hundred feet in
length.
Sinking has been resumed in shaft No. 2,
which Is down ~titty-five feet. TIL bottom
shows a streak of high grade free ore twenty
Two inches in width work has been suspend
ed in the twenty-five foot level.
From the west DRIFT, t~ifty-foot level, consid-
cradle high grade free ore is being extracted.
No work is being done in the main shaft,
neither sinking nor drifting. At the
Carrie Mine,
The character OF ore found in the bottom of
the shaft has somewhat improved during the
week, and although still mostly of a low
p grade, picked samples can be found which
will assay very high. AT the
CzarOmah Mine,
The drifts east and west from the crosscut
from the bottom OF the shaft, are being pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible, and good pro-
gress is being made.
There is no change in the character OF the
ore to mention. 1t continues to be mostly of
low grade, with some rich intermixed. At
the
The stope west Of the shaft is looking we'll,
and about s tons of free milling ore is being
extracted daily. The main shaft is down 12O
feet, the bottom showing a remarkably fine
body of copper ore. At the
HCos<: "a.
A great deal of high grade free ore Is being
extracted from the 45 foot level. The west
tunnel is still being pushed ahead, the face
showing a fine body Of ore about 4 feet in
width. At the
Burnett Mine
5 Considerable low grade ore is being extracted
from the old slopes. The west drift from the
tunnel is being driven ahead through granite,
the ledge at this point seeming to have weak
ened.
A crosscut from the bottom of the shaft on
, the Shannon is showing considerable good
. copper ore.
There is nothing new at the Gagnon. They
are extracting some wonderfully rich base
ore from the $50 foot level.
The Bell continues to keep the Clipper
mill running full blast, and some very rich
ore Is Oelng EXTRACTED IRON Inc mdlh Slalt
