THE HIGH ORE.
Sale of this Promising Mine to Nix. l.. N.
Wilson OF K~s0nanZa. IdaEaO.

Another important mining sale WAS effected
in Butte Yesterday between Messls. Surpre-
nant X Marcnau, owners of the High Ore,
and Mr.. L. NJ. Wilson. late of Bonanza.
The price paid for the NINE. was $4,000, a
figure which, by all who are acquainted with
the productive resources of The property, will
be regarded as exceedingly low. The High
Ore is a full claim lying parallel with and
200 feet south of II. G. Meader's now famous
Bell and adjoining W. A. Clark's Diamond

On the lower level the width of the ore body,
as asccrtained by ~crosscuts. varies from ten to
eighteen feet. During the past few months
the ore has been eX .ractcd principally from
the slopes. but on either side Of the drifts,
and particularly III The face of tie east DRIFT,
an immense amount of frce-nilling ore is i'll
sight. A few hundred feet east of the main
shaft is another shaft y feet deep which was

product OF the High Ore has kept the Black
Tail arastra in constant operation. The daily
product has averaged fifteen tons and such
WAS the Softness Of the ore that two miners
ON each shift were all the force necessary to
keep the arastra supplied without the neces-
sIty Of firing Il shot. II must be admitted,
however. that the bulk of the ore produced
is low Grade. for though some rich pockets
have been discovered the assay value Will not
average more than $50 per ton. The amount
of this grade of ore now in sight in the mine
is tremendous and with adequate facilities
for reduction we predict that Mr.. Wilson VIII

There is no reason why the property should
not become equally as valuable as the ada

THE MINES.
BELL.


Sinking has been resumed on the middle
shaft, and will be continued as far as a whim
Can be used to hoist the water. The shaft is
now 145 feet deep. In the west drift from
the whim shaft a large body of high grade
slver-copper ore has been opened up to a
width of two feet, and six tons is the daily
output. On the two dumps are perhaps SO
tons of ore awaiting shipment which will car
ry 80 per cent. of copper and from $75 to $3.50
in silver. Ventilation in both shafts is good
and the water is we'll under control.
HIGH ORE.
1t is believed to be the intention of Mr.. E.
M. Wilson, who on Friday purchased the
property for $4,000, to resume the sinking of
the main shaft at the earliest practicable
moment, and if this cannot be done with the
whim in present use a hosting engine will
be supplied. Mr.. Wilson expresses the great
est confidence in the value and perInanence
of the mine, and we have little doubt that by
sinking a reasonable depth below water level
the ore, though base, will be found of greatly
improved quality.

for the thorough development of the claim,
which they will open up by three shafts.
The main shaft is 100 feet deep, following a
vein of ore which, at the bottom, is about
four feet wide. The product assays from $50
to 5000 per ton
The shaft is making good Roadway, but as
the vein is dipping to the south the ore will
soon pass out of sight until a crosscut shall
be rum. About 80 tons of ore are OH the
dump, and the daily product, as extracted
and hoisted by three men, continues at about
six tons. 1t is worked at the Dexter.
COLUSA.
The east drift has attained Il length of 800
feet and the face is still being advanced in a
wide ledge of copper ore generally of a low
grade but often containing large punches of
copper glance which give it a good average
value. The new three-compartment shaft is
being vigorously SUM and is now 45 feet
from the surface. Thirty-fvc men are en-
ployed in and about the mine, which is under
the foremanship of Mr.. Camp.
ALICE.
There are no new developments to report
from this property. At the 70O-foot station a
room is now being cut out for the two pumps
enroute from the east, and the stump not yet
being finished, prosecuting will not begin
Immediately. The principal drifts and Slopes
are all in ore and producing much more than
the mill can treat. A surplus of nearly 5000
tons has been dumped near the new mill
which will be treated on its completion.
