A RICH STRIKE.
Interesting Jackrabbit and Bristol
News.

now the Day. Yes, and so big, that one
can hardly believe it until they have
seen it with their own eyes. Your re-
porter was afforded an opportunity to in
spect the big strike, and you may rest
assured he took advantage of it, for when
will true Bristolian ever forget to take
good look at a real live bonanza? Never.
They do not come every day, and this
one in the Day mine is big; so big, that
one has to see it to believe it. Yes, it is
without doubt the biggest thing in the
State to-day. That the Day is another
Richmond will be shown in the near
future to be fact, and that the Day has
as big bonanza as the biggest ever
struck in the State, is the actual truth.
For where can one go and seea "a body of
ore that has been run on for seventy-fve
feet without no walls in sight, solid ore,
and going all the way from $3.50 to 81
400 per ton; where can the like be found?
Gentle reader get on the good side of
Supt. Could or Asst Supt. Flagg and
they will show it to you ON the G4O-foot
level of the Day. There it is to be
found, and when you do see it you will
see the biggest thing you ever saw before.
"Ore to the right of you, ore to the left
of you" etc; in fact all ore and more
horn silver than you can shake stick at.
That is the kind of bonanza that's in
the Day, something that will awake the
country up and keep it awake. To give
full and impartial description of this
magnificent body of ore would require
column upon column. The best way is
to go and see; for seeing is believing you
know. Too much praise cannot be given
Supt. Gould for the vim and pluck he
has shown in developing this mine, TAX
ing hold of it over two years ago when it
was but new prospect, and after many
months of trials and difficulties, finally
succeeding in bringing it to the front as
one of the great mines of the State.
The Day Company can well feel proud
of the big run that has just been made
by the furnace, it being in actual opera
ton 60 days, turning out large amount
of high grade bullion. During the last
two weeks the output has footed up
nearly 81, 200 per day of bullion, running
from $500 to 5000 per ton. This is GER
tainly big work for 40-ton furnace, but
when it starts up again, and on ore from
the new strike, then look out, for instead
of $1,000 per day it will come nearer
$4, 1000; whale surely. Much credit is
due Foreman Walsh for the manner in
which he has handled the furnace, work
ing ore that was considered to be rebel
lious, and finally showing to all that Day
ore could be worked and worked to a
profit.
The Mayhower is still improving and
no telling how long it will continue. The
mill still keeps up her lick turning out
from 81 900 to 81, 500 per day. Work is
being pushed sinking and drifting in the
we'll so that in case of any additions be-
ing put to the mill that there will always
be plentiful supply of water on hand.
