| There is also any amount Of low grade
/ ore that could be marketed with profit IL
we had shipping-facilities. Considerable
capital Is coming now, especially from
Colorado and there is more activity in
mining matters than there has been at any
time for the past five years.
Among the big mines Of that section,
Mr.. Gown mentioned the Yellow Jacket
or Gladstone, and while he was conserva-
tive in his statements, he seemed confident
that with the advent of the Boise and
Butte railway. or some other line Salmon
city would be among the best towns in the
state"
THE ONTARIO.
The Ontario mine on Florida mountain is
now being developed at two different
points. At the discovery cut has been
run thirty feet in depth out nf which con-
siderable amount of ore has been taken,
aome bOulders of which show fine gold and
assay away up. But the vein here is SO
badly broken up and poorly defined that its
width cannot be ascertained. although the
indications point to its being q big one. On
the independence. which is an extension OF
the Ontario and belongs to the same par
ties, they have started tunnel to cut the
lode at depth of 400 feet below the discov-
cry on the Ontario. This property, which
is owned by Messrs. Herendon, Sullivan
and Msttison, promises to prove very valu-
able
THE BLACK JACK.
| A visit to the Black Jack mine on Flor
! ida mountain by a Nugget expert found the
men busy sacking and weighing rich ore
for shipment. They have now drifted
south on the shoot of ore eighty feet, with
good ore still in the face This shoot was

| ings in the mountain, and both walls are in
granite, thus demonstrating that the ledges
on this mountain do not, as many have
thought, stop in the porphyry which caps
all of the west side of the mountain. A
raise of thirty feet has been made in the
drift and the ore continues good. A winze
| has also been sunk twenty feet below the
drift level, which shows the vein TO be four
and one-half feet wide, eighteen inches OF
which is shipping ore and the balance o
good milling grade.
THE BELFAST.
In the Belfast tunnel, on the Phillips and
| Sullivan mine, on Florida Mountain. the
! vein has been cut about 800 feet south OF
1.-The ore chute on the upper level and at q
much greater depth. The ore here is show
ing up very rich, surprising in value any
former find. Specimens seen by the N9tgget
| expert show masses of wire and coarse goid
and are very rich. Our expert did not
ascertain the width of the vein, but Judging
from what he mas heard it is one of the best
strikes made on that mountain. Messrs.
Phillips & Sullivan are now hauling ore
from the upper working to the Silver City
Reduction works for treatment, and every
thing about the mine indicates activity and
prosperity.-De Lamar Nugget
THE BIG LODE.
Steve Oglesby. superintendent of the
Big Lode mine at Atlanta, returned here
Wednesday, after an absence OF several
| weeks in New York and Boston. Mr.
Oglesby comes back fully equipped te
prosecute work on his property, and took
Thursdays stage for Atlanta. He VIII
Immediately put at work three shifts Of
miners to continue the tunnel to the
before snow flies this fall. The tunnel is
now in distance of 400 feet and is 6
splendid piece of work, and if the Big
Lode company only give Mr.. Oglesby the
"senews of war; he will win the fight and
give them a good paying mine ere long
While east he gained information which
causes him to believe that the Ophir and
| Bear Creek companies will renew opera
! tions in their mines at Rocky Bar before 0
great while.-Bulletin.

up very rich body of ore in the past few
days. The development work on all parts
of the mine is being pushed with the view
! of opening large reserves of ore before
Stopping. When ready to stope the output
will be large and steady.
THE LEONARD MILL.
The Leonard mill is now running on
Phillips & Sullivan ore. and the chances
are favorable that the stamps will drop
continuously for months to come. A fine
body of rich milling ore has been opened in
helower workings of the z. & S. mine,
and ore will be milled until the roads are
| again blockaded with snow.
FOUND IN THE VAIL.
We mentioned recently the finding of
rare and beautiful specimens il the De-
Lamar mine. Since. the first were taken
out several other punches of them have
been found. They occur in small crevices
| in one of the veins cut in the Vail tunnel.
! 1t is difficult to give descrition of these
specimens which are not only very rich but
unique in character. They are, some of
them very bright masses of metallic silver
| and others delicate cry Installations of silver
formed upon manganese varying in color
| from black 10 various shades of brown and
maroon. The crystals form in delicate
threads like lunches of vari-colored moss.
The most beautiful of them are too delicate
to bear handling Could they be shipped
without destroying their beauty, they
would make a most attractive exhibit ut
the Worlds fair.-Nugget.
