OF the Key have now reached depth Of
600 feet, and the mine is in better shape
to produce heavily than ever before.

The "Old Abe" mine near our town,
which is owned by Hewitt, Ferguson
and others, has, within the past week,
developed two feet vein Of ore which is
estimated to run some $20 to $50 q ton.
The vein was found some eight feet from
the surface. The shaft is now down
about fifteen feet, and the ore body has
wldened to two and half feet A mill
run of some fifty or hundred tons will
soon be made to ascertain the Yalue of
the ore. White Oaks Leader.
Chloride crumbs: A l0-inch high grade
leading of gold and sulphide ore was
brought to light in the Gray Eagle mine
this week. The discovery was made while
timbering the shaft. The wagon
road from the concentrator has been COM
pleted to the Gray Eagle mine. Roads
leading to the st. Cloud and U. S. Treas

lavish, Magner and Ferree are knocking
down lots of good ore in the Colossal
mine. The Colossal VIII soon re-estab-
lish her old time record as valuable ore
producer.
Favorable reports continue to come in
from Cooks Peak district. 1t is to-day
the heaviest producer in Grant county,
and the greater the development the
larger the ore bodies. 1t is estimated
that the Surprise now has fully 5000
tons Of ore In sight, and Teel & Poe's
Grand Central group have equally as
favorable a showing. The product now
is about thirty tons day, and this is
steadily increasing. Experienced miners
are satisfied that the mines mentioned
could put out 100 tons per day, and that
the Graphic, if worked to full capacity,
could do equally as we'll. Many other
mines in the district could be developed
with just as favorable results. The sup
ply Of ore is practically inexhaustible.-
