and adjoining the Glencoe. 1t shows very
good mineral. The assessment work has
been done on it, and the owners have
struck vein three or four feet of well
mineralized quartz. The indications are
extremely good.
To go back to the Crown Point, for the
vein on which it is located is undoubtedly
the richest in the district, and is we'll
worth dwelling upon at length The vein
can be traced for about 1900 feet from
the center of the mine in northerly
direction bearing east. The vein crops
out for about $500 feet and is blind lead
on either end; on the south end it dips
out of sight and is covered by waste, wash
or volcanic ashes. The Queen of Spades
is supposed to be the southern extension
of the Crown Point, but as it is blind lead
it is not known whether or not the vein
has again been struck. If the Queen OF
Spades is the southern extension, then
the vein, in all probability, crosses Pine
canon and also the divide between Cola
and Pine canons. AS the same number OF
veins are claimed IN Peralta as have been
found in Pine, the veins then must also
cross Peralta canon. Prospectors claim
they have followed the veins over the
course described.
The Crown Point ore is true quartz
and carries no refractory constituents. II
is understood to be free milling propo
sition. The walls are all good. The
hanging wall is porphry or what is
known to miners as green stone.
In this connection the writer desires tc
EN- phasize the statements made by exper,
mining men as to the probability of the
veins in the Crown Point and other gooc
properties pinching. According to these
men there is not a
GHOST OF SHOW OF ANY Punching"
Of course, the question is to great
extent problematical, but the conclusions
of the miners are basen upon sound rea
soning. The indications are all such as
to lead to the belief that the veins will &c
down and be continuous. The belief il
founded upon the fact that the formation
is soft and the quartz hard. The indica
tions in the Crown Point are that the ore
chutes will be very regular, but even II
the vein is pockety the ore will still be

There are known to be two or three
veins west of the Miners Union showing
veins of high quality of quartz and also
showing character of ore similar to tina
of the Crown Point.
As has been said, both ends of the Grown
Point are blind leads, but the Wanderel
is undoubtedly the northern extension.
We now come to the Lone Star mine

1t was located on December 81, 1898
by Henry Woods, who took in with hin

about $4O0 worth of work on it. 1t is sit
uated half mile northwest of the town o
Eagle in ravine branching off on the soutl
side of Pine canon. There are two four
teen foot shafts and an open cut showing
blcast of twenty feet and vein from
twenty-five to sixty feet in width. Their

it will undoubtedly prove wonderful,
valuable property. The indications ar
more favorable, with the exception o
the Crown Point, than those of any othe
prospect in the district, owing to the i'm
mensity of the vein.
At the present time the ore can b.
washed by what is known as the Washo
process which is free milling PROPOSE
ton, but as depth is obtained it is quit
likely the ore will have to be chloridizet
to compel it to yield its metal.
From this mine was obtained the rich
assay of 100 ounces in silver and l;
ounces in gold, as stated above. Thu
only work that has been done is strip
ping the veins. There are several car
loads of ore in sight, but no shipping
mines to Allerton is completed, which
will be the last of this week. When ship

turns are anticipated and it is not proba

which are located between Pine ant

the Pamlico runs from SO to 1924 in golt

The Huron joins the Pamlico on tn

Up to date only one claim has become in

was located on October 20, 1893, by Franl
Fagley, of Albuquerque, who took in al
partners Lee Walker, Hub Leads, Rober
Marksberry and Ben johnson. An assay
from the mine run $4,000 to the ton. TIT
litigation arose over the alleged jumping
of the claim by Col. T. B. Mills. Eagle,
was too poor to do the first years assess
ment work, and sought to take advantage
of the Bell law giving to miners the righ
to abstain from doing the first years
work owing to the hard times. Although
only the assessment work has been dons
the property Is tied up by being in thu
hands of receiver, and nothing can con
sequently be done until the courts decide
which party is in the right.

King has been held for the last, in 80 far as
Pine canon is concerned, it is neverthe
