The Sampson will not be WORKED
till next spring.
! The station en- the 200 level OF the
Boss IL being rapidly cut out. During
the work feeder of very nice galens
was struck.
at the Utah mine a II inch body
OF good ore was found on the $50 foot
level, where the vein has just been
crosscut. 1t is compact and solid. and
has greatly encouraged the owners.
The vertical shaft is down between
sixty and seventy feet, and work pro-
crossing finely.
The main vein in the Black Bear
has been cross cut and the results
have more than reached the anti
cipstion of the owners. The vein lie
i've feet across and samples the en-
tire width $40. 25. As the depth 10
only about seventy five feet . shaft
on the vein has already been COM
menced.
Nate Springer dropped in yesterday
to show US some fine specimens Of ore
which he brought from the IvanoVa,
claim situated Oh Lone Hill about
mile south of the Flagstaff, in White
Pine Canon. The IvanoVa was To-
Gated Mag 9th, 1879, and recorded
May 24Ib, of the same year. Some
persons, Nate inform US, jumped
the claim some time last summer,
banning it The Queen of the Sierra,
and have done 800 worth of work,
but not before they were notified to
leave it. Nate having bought out
the original locAtors is now working
1t, and has a vein six feet wide,
carrying some excellent ore, with in
dicstions of a more compact body
near by. The shaft is an incline
on the vein, and is down over forty
feet.
Last Thursday We took 3 spin
through the Empire underground
workings. We arrived at the sEsft
just in Time to see the forms of Messrs.
Mckay and Evans appear from be-
meath and both wore an expression
on their countenances as though |
greatly pleased at something. Wei
made the trip to the 300 level first
and we're conducted by Supt. O'Riley |
to q stope about 100 feet from the
Iurn table on tue main drift. There
a good sized force of men were en-
gagged in knocking down the ore.
The upraise is few feet north of the
main drift and two slopes are being
opened simultaneously. In the first
the vein is full five feet wide, the
walls are as well defined as in any
nine in Utah, and the vein to all ap-
oearsuces bearing out the assertion
II the superintendent when he told
Is there was not q particle of waste.
the assays here are from $40 to $500
We are informed. The character of
he ore is of coarse milling, con-
aiming consider hs chlorides. The
copper stains here ,-Ie as pronounced
10 thty are 10 the face OF the drift.
1t stope No. 2, the vein maintains
Is width and the ore is precisely the
anne in all features. These slopes
lave been worked on before, but not
ince last fall. 1t Wss the splendid
hoWinR which was therein found
hist gave confidence to those friends
i the Empire who had seen them.
During the past week work at this
,oint has been recommended and
o-dsy the men are breaking down
wenty tons daily. To what extent
his splendid chimney may last, only
development can tell. At the face of
he DRIFT on the same level, the vein
s only eight inches wide but is in
reasing. On the 400 level, water is
to come in and the men
annot be far from the vein. The
Vster at present being thrown from
he mine is 400 gallons per minute.
When the strike on the 400 level is
made, the superintendent expects
vice the present flow, and Thursday ,
be splendid Worthington pump Was
'eing put in readiness o provide for {
he increase. On the 200, some ore
) being stopped out. 1t is expected
o increase the !Urce here and take I
ut about ten tons daily. Nothing is /

he ore mouse will be filled and then
be ore house at the mill. As to the 9
'sposition of the ore it is not certain
that will be done with it. 1t is set
led that the mill will not be completed
i'll spring, or rather work will not be
commenced on it again til that time.
Negotiations are being held between !
