One OF the most important discover
les of ore in this district was made
in the west drift of the Silver Monu-
ment mine last week, 26O feet from the
shaft. Although nothing but fair in
dicailons for ore were found In this
drift 1t wis driven $50 feet, when last
week. a small body OF ore was struck
which has now developed into a body
OF fifteen inches which gives returns
ranging from s4O0 TO 5000 per ton. This
body, of ore is accompanied by about
seventeen inches of tale, some of
which gives better returns than the
solid ore. The drift runs along a solid,
perfect hanging wall, and N yet, the
width of the vein is not known. The
ground in this portion Of the mine is
in much better condition than in the
east workings, and IL is thought by
those best acquainted with the locality
that larger and better grade ore bodies
will be found IN the west workings
than has ever been heretofore found
in the mine. The Silver Monument
never looked more promising than il
does to-day there is, besides the new
ly discovered body Of ore in the west
drift, good bodies of shipping ore In
the Wine and east drift. Heretoforeit
has been argued by some that there
was but one ore chute in this mine, but
by development 1t is nov proven that
there is another one one that PROMISES
to be of far more value than the one
that has so long been worked and
is yet the leading ore producer of the
camp.
