four feet into it without any signs
of wall, when their powder gave
ont and they came to town last
Wednesday for another supply,
bringing the news of the strike and
lot Of fine specimens from it. The
ore was tied up in sack and was
shoveled up from the face of the
tunnel as it had been picked down.
1t had been pretty vel sorted over
by persons wanting rich pieces be-
fore the reporter got O chance at it.
In order to get something near an
average, he took q handful of the
fine. pulverized rock from the pile
in the sack and gave it to A. Heb
berling, the assayer. The result of
the assay was d: silver, 1922 So
gold, s1.50-,otal, $122 O5. Mr..
Hebberling says that the ore car
ries from 10 to Is per cent lead
and is in all respects similar to that
in the Mount Cory mine. From
the items under "Coryville Concen-
trations," it will be seen that since
work was resumed the tunnel has
been exter ded three feet further, a
total of seven feet, and still in the
vein.
The North Star Consolidated is
owned by lobe Crossman and the
two Ganong brothers, Charley and
Cork, and IL situated about half
mile northwest from the Mount
Cory mine and about the same dis !
lance west from the town of Cory
Vile. The ledge is thus separate
and distinct from that of the Mount
Cory and runs parallel with it. The
tunnel encountered the ledge in
about 145 feet, and between eighty
and ninety feet beneath the crop
pings. There is an abundance of
Sater and fine timber on the ground
and two or three more splendid
cooking lodges crop ont on the sur.
ace.
A mine having q ledge sssaying
1924 and known to be at least seven

lepth of ninety feet, is generally
considered a very fine piece of
