THE sHExox GROUP.
Among the most promising properties in
the county are those owned by Phil.
Shenon, at old Marysville, about one mile
below Bannack. The owner has, with
great pluck and tenacity, worked this
group In most systematic manner for
sixteen years, and has taken out a little
less than three quarters OF q million dol
lars In gold, and has one five-sta,np and one
six.stamp mill in good order, both provided
with water-power, and the six-stamp has
steam, also: On the Pioneer he has run q
tunnel $50 feet in length, and has opened
up a very extensive vein of low grade ore
but there il plenty OF money in it with the
facilities Mr.. Shenon has for working. On
the Excelsior he has another tunnel $50
feet in length and another good body Of
ore. On the Wadhams he has run tun.
mel $50 feet, but is not half way to the
ledge as yet, although he has every in.
centive to hope for the best returns, as the
upper workings show large bodies Of ore.
But Mr.. Shenon's greatest undertaking is
tunnel to tap the Golden Leaf vein at
depth Of 400 feet, which is now in 1876 feet,
and cost over $4,000, but has not yet
cut the ore body. The upper workings Of
the ledge consist Of an SO-foot incline and
several drifts fr0m it, which look very
encouraging. In this mine there are a
to almost the tunnel level, but they are SO
difficult Of access that no one has yet
reached the bottom.

but the result was not encouraging, as the
metal, from some cause, was not easily
taken from the ore and be closed down.
But there is plenty Of good ore in the
camp, and it can be made to pay il proper
works are put up. In the Loren, Spanish,
Rainbow and it's extension, and several
other mines are veins Of good rock. some

there are very extensive deposits OF car.
