taking ont some very rick ruby silver
at present, from an upraise in . drift
run south from the shaft sunk in the
mine last all BY parties who had the
property bonded. The Silver Vault is
one of group Of very promising claims
lying on the vest side Of the great min
eral zsns on which the DeLamar mines
are located.
ROOSTER COMB MINES.
Mr.. Reikenbere, one Of the parties
building the mill on Succor creek, came
in from there on Wednesday and reports
everything progressing favorabiy at the
mines except that they will he retarded
somewhat in starting the mill on sc-
count of delay in the arrival of leechinR
tanks now on the road. The process of
working tho ore will be by frst roast
ing, then running through Hunting
ton mill and then leeching with chlo-
ride of lime and sulphuric acid, leaving
the gold in solution and saving IL by
lpeching through charcoal and zinc
shavings. The mill will probably be
started before June lat. They have six
men doing dsvelopmdnt work in the
mine, and in the lower tunnel they have
cut through what they supposed 10 be
the hanging wall and found fully three
feet of ore. some of which is very rich
in sulphurets Of gold. Some specimens
brought in by Mr.. Rsickenberg are ex-
tremsly rich. Mr.. r. says that the min
sralized belt in that district is fully
three miles wide and that If they sue
ceed in working the ores cheaply hs has
no doubt but what that section will be
thoroughly proepsctsd and may develop
into most thriving camp. Mr.. 7. W.
Jones' claim, the first one located in
that section, is some two miles east of
the claims they are working and pre-
sumably upon the same ledge. The
work Of getting their mill in there DUR
ing the winter, without roads, has been
very difficult, but they being only about
five miles from the stage road at Reyn-
oIds, good road can be readily made
to the mines and they have the advan-
tage OF being on the railroad side of the
summit.
MILWAUKEE CAPITALISTS HERE.
Messrs. John f. Buanham, H.F. Mill
mann and w. H. Upmeyer of Milwaukee,,
w isconsin. three gentlemen interested
in, and who have been having the Lep-
ley and Howe Manhattan groups OF
mines exploited under bond for pur-
chase of tn SO properties, are now here
in company with Msssrs. Regan and
Howe of Boise, and will, before leaving,
give these famous properties thorough
examination. Although, of course, no
person here knows what these gentle
men will determine TO do, the general
impression, based upon the splendid
showing the mines will make, is that
tl.e deal will be carried out. The OPP
tions are held separately, the parties
having the privilege of taking either
one or both of the groups at prices
agreed upon, it being understood here,
although not upon authoritative infor-
nation, that the figures are 5000, 900
and $3.50, 600. respectively for the prop
critics, and that ten per cent of the sums
are payable on June 1st, and the re-
mainder in ten per cent quarterly pay
with the several owners of the separate
properties, the NUGGET editor does not
think it violation of confidence to say
that he has come to the conclusion that
each party of owners is quite arxious to
see the other fellows deal consummated
and quite Indifferent about their own.
Both parties of owners think they have
placed low figures upon their respective
properties and aIss believe that their
neighbors' claims passing into the hands
of capitalists will enable them to COM
mand better figure for their own. We
ON the outside, of course, hope that both
deals will be consummated. To have
these two famous groups of mines pass
into the hands of men who have the
means and energy to develop hem npon
a plan commensurate with their appar-
ent merit, means more than doubling
the number of men employed in this
camp it means more mills; it means
nearly doubling our present popula-
tion; it means increased activity on
other properties, and it finally means
better prospects of railroad reaching
htherward. We believe outsiders are
more anxious to see the deal made than
