Success has at last crowned the untir-
ing efforts Of Messrs. MCGEE 4 Thomas
on the Grand Tower mine in the Kelly
district, and the strike made has assumed
greater proportions than was at first
anticipated. A three and one-half foot
vein was struck running sixty eight and
five -eights ounces in silver and 20 per
cent lead. This is not assorted ore, but
it is the regular mill run taken from q
car load awaiting shipment. As develop.
ment goes on the property grows better
and in fact no estimate can be made oil
the immense body of ore in close contact.

| An immense strike OF rich ore was
made last week on the Kangaroo mine at
Kingston. The high grade ore runs from
500 to 1000 ounces per ton. Fifteen
tramcar loads of this ore we're taken out
yesterday, and it keeps five men busy
asserting and sacking. From the point
where this ore body was struck in a
shaft about thirty feet below the level Of
the tunnel, drift was run forty-two feet
where winze was sunk to the depth Of
thirty feet, and the same body of ore,
equally rich, was struck at this point.
This strike is thought by many to be as
great as the celebrated Garfield strike Oh
the Comstock in 1885. The kangaroo is
owned by Mr.. J. B. Rentcher. and is
now being worked under a bond and
lease held by E. V. r. Hoes and others
