HILLSIDE MINE

ager McGee, Of the Hillside NJ. Il NJ. Co.,
to Secretary +. Frankenthal at San
Francisco, dated Bristol, March Eth:
| herewith hand, per inspection, map
showing the new bodies OF ore now being
opened You will notice that the 4th, 9th
and 9th levels, east, are all in ore; the
9TH level having reached total distance
of 260 feet from the main incline, carry
five feet of ore in the face of the drift
This body has promise of being very ex-
tensive, unusually heavy in lead, and OF
the average assay value of from $40 to
$40 per ton. The ore-body west, in the
main assure, is somewhat mixed, though
carrying a good deal of high grade ore
Being satisfied that THIS was not
the original chimney of carbonate ore
worked from the surface, I made Cross
cut into the hanging-wall forty feet, and
opened up four-foot vein of splendid
yellow ore (crosscut marked with red
ink. l then tested the said ore-body by
| driving drift below the 9th, so l cannot
be mistaken in regard to the importance
of this discovery. The ore is the same
| class as we had in the upper slopes and
running higher in silver. The Wine
sunk below the It'll is also in high grade
ore, and of the character usually encount-
cred above. l am prospecting the differ
ent levels thoroughly and am driving
4th, 9TH, 9Th and 7th levels east, and 7th
west, with all possible speed. On the
whole, the future of the mine is bright.
With the completion of our water jacket
furnace by the 10th, and weather per-
hitting the burning of coal, l can see no
reason why we cannot start up with
bright prospects before u.s."
| GEN PUZZLE. - The latest Eastern
craze, or rage, the "Gem Puzzle" has
struck in on Phoebe. If any of our un-
| fortunate inhabitants have to be sent to
Woodbridge because they became insane
in the endeavor to solve this puzzle, Joe
Eisenmann and Louey Betz should be
held responsible and made to pay their
keeping, because they introduced the
game first to the Phoebe public on Tues
day. The Lord only knows what those
two will have to answer for in regard to
this. The apparatus consists of sixteen
little squares of wood, numbered consecu-
lively from one to sixteen, and fitting ex-
actly in shallow square box. In use
the square numbered sixteen is removed,
leaving blank space, thus allowing the
blocks to slide one at the time, which are
to be arranged without removing them
from the box; the fifteen squares being
mixed and placed Unfortunately in the
box. The problem is to arrange them in
regular order as |, 2, 3, 4, etc. At Eisen'
mann's many tried to solve the puzzle, but
all failed, as when they came to the end
of the rows they would generally end b.
10, Ia, and no one could get that Is into
it's right place. As there is bound to be
craze here ON this very game supply
has been ordered for the town, and any
man that wants to send his wife to the
insane asylum can set her to work rolv
ing the Gem Puzzle.
DAY OFFICIAL LETTER. The following
is the official letter of A. S. Gould, Supt
dated March 10Th: "In the drift from
the bottom of east incline We are maxim!
extraordinary progress, having advanced
already nearly twenty feet, running thre,
cars, and taking out almost as much or,
as waste. The iron whims work ad
, mirably. One drift, which show
up large quantity of ore, is full sixt,
feet below the big ore-body at foot of tn
caves, and nearly 600 feet beneath tn,
surface. Captain Mill, of the Raymond
& Ely, will change five more stamps o
! his company's works from wet to DIR,
crush, for our benefit, and I hope to b.
shipping ore again in a few days.
