its existence is the casual mention of the regular monthly bullion shipments in the local press.
 On the third extension north from the Clip, same ledge, unbroken crop pings connecting, ore has been struck on the Expectations, character of ore identical with that of the Clip, free milling chloride of silver. and it is the purpose of the owners to thoroughly exploit the find. Taking into consid- eration the fact that the Clip, opening on two to four feet of pay on surface; that at depth of l25 to 200 feet de- veloped ore chambers forty to seventy feet between walls, all ore.
 : That the Clip ore was mined. hauled eight miles to Colorado river and steamer landing, milled and refined, average 995, at a cost not to exceed S8.5Oper ton.
 That the Expectations is a mile nearer the river, that the mine is so situated that tunnel can be driven in, and with the ledge breaking to the smooth, regular trachyte footwall, this adit ore delivered by car directly into bins, from thence loaded by chutes into wagons, thus cheapening and facilitating development, and avoiding ;the expensive steam hoists.
 That the floor of this level will be 300 below where the ledge cuts through saddle" on the mountain crest, and over 1000 feet in length of stoping ground.
 !, That fer these tangible reasons the prospects are favorable to the develop ment of second Clip in the Expecta- tions.
 Work has been progressing under a five years contract on the Red Cloud of Silver district, and the ship mentS of smelting ores during the ex plotting of the mine, have more than paid expenses. The mine is now at a depth of about 400 feet vertical, and the water level struck. The water is pure and sweet, and is used entirely for camp and boiler purposes, coming in such quantity valve bucket, steam hoist could not handle 1t. So work was suspended in this shaft, pending the arrival of a steam pump. A mill is under way, and will soon be erected for the reduction of the milling ore reserves and the concentrating of the less dry variety. The probabilities are the mill will be placed directly on the mine, the water supply from mine being ample, when the wood in: adja cent washes shall have been exhausted, it will be hauled from the river, five miles distant. This is the deepest mine in the district, and has devel- oped the fact that the original lorna tion is of granite; the ledge on surface IS in contact of porphyry and granite The porphyry gives out at a depth of 200 feet, and the ledge continues oh down between smooth and regular granite walls; an evidence that DOT phoritic capping of some 200 feet in thickness overlays the granite primary formation. This, I doubt not, will be the case when depth is attained in the Clip district, which is on the same ore channel with the Silver district. At the Clip the formation is solid II trachyte, no granite visible save small eruption of red granite near the Expectations.
 On the Paymaster group of mine on this mineral belt, twenty mile
 northwesterly in San Diego county
 Cal, fifteen stamps are pounding ol chloride of silver ore. A new strik is reported at the 400 foot level;
 steady output of bullion has been tn
 record of this close corporate compan.
 for three years past. An additiona
 ten stamps will soon be added to tn
 plant, which necessitates the placin
 of a reservoir and pump midway bt
 tween mill and river. The one pun
