E. 81. Irvine and Bryan Irvine are feeling
pretty good over a late development IN the
Narrow Gauge. In the ore body which they
are opening they have a streak of high grade

assays something over 300 ounces to the ton.
Inter Mountain, 21st. :
The "Lily" shaft on the Champion Con-
solidated was down 48 feet Tuesday. The
ore which had shown up two feet thick, and
which had yielded assays of 81 ounces aver
age, had pinched up a little at 48 feet, but no
significance was attached to that. 1t is de-
velopipg fully as we'll as anticipated at that
depth. If the weather holds good the COM
PAW will commence setting up the hosting
machinery next week. Owing to an acct
dental transportation of words in the stock
certificates, they have to be reprinted, which
will probably take three weeks.

on the Mountain Lion no more work has
been lone on the face Of the tunnel, the two
shifts which haye been on since Sunday
being at work on the upraise air shaft, no"
nm about so feet, with probably IS more to
90, and making four feet = day. WORK Will
then be resumed on the tunnel. The h'gh
Grade streak is maintaining its richness
although 1t is narrowing as the upra'se ap'
nroaches the surface, where it does not show
at all: but the air shaft was necessary. IL Is
