LATEST REPORT FROM. THE
PICK AND SHOVEL.

PICK AND SHOVEL.
Mr.. O. G. Schultz has at last struck
bonanza. While out surveying on
Brush creek in company with Davy
Brown. they located lode, assays
from the groupings of which went very
high. They are now having mill
run test made.
THE GREAT REPUBLIC.
The Prindle Btos. and Martindale
have taken a contract to run a tunnel
100 feet on the Great Republic, stu
ated in o, Be Joyful basin, near the
Yankee Blade. The vein will be cut
at that distance and Is very large
galena vein. This is owned by a
Baltimore company, who propose to
work it extensively.
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL.
The Prindte Bros. and Martindale
have got men to work on the New
York Central lode, situated III Silver
basin. The shaft is fifty feet deep
with vein seven feet wide, between
we'll defined walls and has an eighteen
inch quartz streak that carries brittle
silver. 1t will be sunk IS feet further
and then levels will be run on the
vein.
o,.BE- JOYFUL BASIN
While in O,-Be- Joyful basin last
week in company with Dr.. c. w.
Cornell we partook of the hospi-
tal;ty of H. F. Richardson, super
intendent of. the Monitor min
ing company. He is true noun
talneer and has good quarters, with
everything comfortable around him,
and always glad to entertain his friends
with the best that the country affords.
After spending the night with Nj.
Richardson, he showed us the COM
pany's property that he was working,
which was the Monitor lode and the
o, Be Joyful tunnel, and we think
that with development he will have
good properties there. We also paid
hurried visits to different other pros
pect in the basin. Among which
were the Crown Point and Eclipse,
both being worked at present, and the
Crown Point shows remarkable fine
vein. 1t is situated within few hun
dred feet of the Baker lode.
Near the mouth of the gulch we
found Mr.. Ferguson, of Wellington,
Kansas, who is working some claims
that also look very promising. Mr..
Schrenberg IS working quite a force
Of men just below the Yankee Blade.
He represents Kansas capital, and is
much pleased with the result of his
labor so far.
BIG SPECIMENS FOR THE EXPOSITION.
The Inter: Ocean enumerates the
number OF large specimens that will
be shipped to the Exposition. All Of
our specimens will be large from this
camp besides very rich, but we have
made no big blow about it yet. Last
Sunday, while at the Forest Queen
with MIR. Dillingham;, we saw huge
chunk, which at low estimate, would
weigh 5000 los, and was worth more
in value than any two large specimens
that will be at the Exposition, because
it was ruby silver. We do not think.
however, that it will be shipped, as
the transportation would be too much.
DURANGO NINE.
The Durango mine IS taking out ore
from the surface above the tunnel
workings, which Is very rich. The
machinery is in working order, and
sinking will commence very soon.
CAKES NINE.
The Oakes claim, adjoining the
Durango, has been the subject of much
talk lately. The owners have discov-
cred a rich body of ore near the sur
face, and are shipping large quantities
of high grade ore, which is paying
handsomely.
FOREST QUEEN:
The rich ore that is being taken
from the surface of the Forset Queen,
