the Rainbow lode, which carry the
same characteristics in. this mine
as in the Alice and Moul-
ton, will be thoroughly developed
by cross-cuts, drifts and levels. The
slopes of the upper levels are looking
well and producing their usual out
put of ore.
The eighty stamps Of the Alice
mills are dropping upon about 80
tons Of ore per day, with average
battery samples of Al ounces.
The win3e from the 800 sou!hwe,
drift is looking well, but extraction
from this valuable ore body has been
temporarily suspended pending the
running of q connection with the
surface, which has become necessary
for purposes of ventilation. Ore is
being stopped from the 200 west drift,
where the ledge of high grade is
looming up bigger than ever, having
widened to and I feet of solid pay
ore of high grade, clear across the face.
The mine may be said to be looking
better throughout than ever before.
The ore house is full and the mill
steadily dropping its 40 stamps.
CLARK's FARCTION.
When three years ago, an offer of
$50, 900 cold cash, for this little mine,
was quietly declined by its owner, his
friends thought he had made mis-
take, but recent developments have
proved the fraction to oe big mine
and a prominent operator was heard
to say yesterday that he would like
to handle the property on the basis of
$4,000 "without a drawback" The
sill floor of the 80 foot level is now
40 feet wide, showing breast of ore
the entire width which assays
so and 60 ounces. Square
sets 40 feet wide are now
being put in on this level. The frac-
tion is on the Rainbow lode, between
the Alice and Magma Charta. The pc
culia,ity of the lode, is that wherever it
has been developed it has been found
to be so to go feet wide, having
well defined north, south and CEN
ter vein of pay, separated from
each other by porphyry and barren
vein matter. The fraction is situated
upon lower ground than the Alice,
Moulton or Magma Charta and just
west of a gulch which seems to have
changed, at that point, the formation
of the great lode, so that it bears ore
of high grade clear across the lode;
in place of the porphyry and barren
vein matter which characterizes the
lode elsewhere.
NOTES OF INTEREST.
J., The Shontar 22O east drift contin-
ues its steady production of 100 and
200 ounce ore. The last mill run of
1OS tons at the Silver Bow mill yield
ed 1O2 ounces silver and 500 gold to
the ton.
The Colorado smelter will treat so
tons of Shonbar ore this week.
Work has been commenced on the
excavations for the foundations OF
the big smelter at Anaconda.
The Orc Butte mine is being
worked by r. B. Wallace & Co. The
shaft has been sunk so feet and an
east drift run which is in fine body
of free milling ore.
The Dexter mill has closed very
successful run on ore from the Ana
conda low grade dump and Is now
treating the ore from the Orc Butte
mine. Thirty tons per day are treat
ed the capacity of the mill having
been much improved by the addition
of a new mortar.
The Clark brothers of Walkervilli
have leased the Pollack mine, sit
uated northeast of the Alice. They
will put force of men at work and
thoroush bly, develop the property. Ii
is fine prospect and the boys have
secured good mine.
McNulty & Go. have put in a steam
hoist on the Goldsmith No. 2,Eand
are taking out plenty of ore which
sorts from 200 to 600 ounces.
The Lexington mine and mill are
running smoothly and the Johnny
Crappo's in France are just now
chuckling over their recent dividend
and the prospect offuture profits.
| A rich strike is reported in thu
[ Wild Bill, but sufficient development
has not been made to determine 1t!
value and permanency.
