other day, Supt. Grim discovered, on tn,
fourth level, that the ore had not beer
taken out of the chamber there that hat
been discovered shortly prior to the su
persedure of the late A. S. Gould. Ate,
Mr.. McNally had assumed charge of the
mine, the ore at this place was extracted
above the tunnel level, but the ore
below the level, on which the track was
laid, was not extracted. Mr.. Grim now
has men at work extracting this ore. and
large quantity has been taken out. The
extent of the chamber is not known. The
ore from this place is where some of the
best ore taken from the mine came. The
average of the ore at present being taken
from this old chamber is 5000. A pretty
fair quality of ore to extract. The lower
workings of the mine on the 9th look as
favorable as ever at the big cave, and ore
is being daily extracted.
RkfocAr1SG. There was little or no
relocating done in Phoebe proper this
year, as the claim owners had their titles
all in good order. A few lights were seen
moving around on the hill. Out along
the range there was considerable relocat-
ing done. Besides the prospectors out
there, who had picked claims with
view OF locating them, few from
town scattered out through the hills.
The night was bitter cold one, the
coolest OF the season, and all who went
out INTO the mountains and stopped over
night certainly earned the property thew
secured. The titles of most of the claims
now taken up are good, the relocation
making them more perfect and freezing
out number of parties interested who
would neither work the claims nor con.
solldate with those holding conflicting
titles, nor sell at reasonable price. All
such parties are pretty well frozen out.
