tunnel 800 feet taps this rs foot shaft
About 1000 feet further down the noun
tains, 200 foot tunnel runs on the weir
and shows fine ore the entire length.
These tunnels all have been run on the
vein showing vast bodies of quartz ore
from four to nine feet. l have not heard
it stated, so should"not be justified in say
ing the amount Of ore in sight in this
mine, but the amount is very great. In
the course of development, over 5000
tons have been taken out, which averages
very we'll in silver and lead. This is a
valuable property and the mine is devel,

North Of this, and on the same vein, is
the Gilpin, owned by the same parties.
What can say of this can be only repe-

ents THE ONEIDA MINE.
South of the Dakota, and on the same
vein, is the Oneida, owned by Frank Raj
ferty and others. What work has been
done on this shows up a fine property.
The amount of development has not been
very extensive, but in the extreme has
been satisfactory. South of this on the
same vein is the property owned by Tom
Angus and Capt. Mcintosh. This has
several shafts, one is about so feet, show
ing splendid vein, and some very fine
galena ore. This lead has always assayed
very high in silver, and runs very we'll in
lead. The owners have reason to feel
proud Of this property.
THE ENTERPRISE NINE.
Lying east and parallel to the Dakota
is the Enterprise, owned by VIM. Gran
dali, Larry Neihart and others. Some
carbonate ore has been taken from this
property as fine as any the camp has pro-
duced. Assays of,.the same have been Sc.
