Recent Wnsk on this claim has developed quite body of ore. The ledge .s well defined and IS several feet wide. The ore strea- averages two feet and tx continually widening out. The ore I5 a chloride showing plenty of native silver, and will average from S-JJ to $500 per ton. One afternoon last week Jerome Burns, in drifting, took out by himself a mass of ore estimated by several present Co contain between three and four tons. which looked as well or better than any ever taken from the miEe.

The Hancock i7 a splendid claim and only needs opening up to develop 1t into a good paying property, and is only one Of many such mines at Chloride to which we intend to devote more space af.er personally visiting them.
