Vanderbilt Shaft: Up the the present
time the work done on the mines in and
about here is as follows:
cAMPBELL's NINE.
Boomerang-The west shaft is down
l25 feet. At the 100 foot level drift is
run east and west so feet each way.
The east ehaft is $50 feet east of this, is
drift at the 100-foot level. The main
shaft is 250 feet west OF the east shaft,
and is down 200 feet on the vein, which,
at that depth, leaves the angle at which
it has been running and becomes per-
pendicular. The shaft continues So feet
farther, however, at the same angle,
forming g sump into which the water
is drained. The drift, at the 100-foot
level, is 157 feet east and l12 feet west.
At the 200 foot level the drift is go feet
west and 65 feet east. Work is being
done in the l00-foot drift only, as Mr..
Campbell is waiting for the arrival Of
his mill and hoisting works.
Brick No. 1-At a point as high as
any on this claim, 10O-foot shaft was
sunk by parties to whom it was bonded.
Mr.. Campbell had different ideas con-
cerning the proper way OF looking for q
ledge, and began in the bottom of a
wash. Commencing at the foot wall, a
crosscut has been made. This shows
the vein to be 81 feet wide, with no
hanging wall in sight. The ore is found
to be very rich in some parts, and Mr..
Campbell says that with plenty OF water
it will all pay to work.
Brick No. 2-Considerabls develop
ment work is being done on this claim
with good results. Two shafts have
been sunk, and drift is to be run be-
tween them. A tunnel is being run in
from lower point on the hill, and will
where the drift is to be comm snced
This will make very convenient way
in which to dispose of the ore. saving,
as it does, the hoisting of it.
GOLD BAR MINING COMPANY.
Gold Bronze-The main shaft is over
100 feet deep. At the 100 foot level the
drift is over 400 feet long. The ore is
very rich all the way, and is being taken
out at the rate of about 80 tons per day,
and shipments of large quantities of ore
to the Keystone mill and the Sebig
Smelling company, the latter being in
San Francisco, are constantly being
made. Water sufficient to run q 10
stamp mill has been developed at Willow
Springs, two and one-fourth miles away.
Pipe has been ordered with which to
bring this water to the Gold Bronze,
and mill will be put up by February
1st in all probability.
Bronze No. This is where the big
strike WAS made. The shaft lie now down
about 20 feet, showing the vein to be
fully i've feet wide and all OF good quail
lty. The appearances are that the shaft
/ will soon run into quartz formation.
which is just what lie wished for.
FOX & HUNTER SHAFT.
Chippie. is now down I5 feet
and is looking better than at any time
before. The character of the ore has
changed, becoming richer, and some
free gold specimens are found. An assay
is now being made from samples taken
from top to bottom. Mars & Congdon
have also begun shaft on the Chippie
and another on the Bronze.
FLYNN & SIMONDS.
Queen OF the Night.-Work has been
recommended on this mine. There are
two ehafts, one down 30 feet and the
other 65 feet. They are 400 feet apart.
A tunnel is being made running south
east into the hill, on the vein. The ore
at the end OF this tunnel shows good in.
dications, and will probably become
even better than now in q very short
time. This is one of the richest and
most promising claims in camp, and is
favorably thought OF by the best miners
here.
