WHITE HORSE.

The Royal extension has a number o
rich stringers showing a good result from
a little prospecting.
Dave Washeim went up to the Pay
Car Monday to begin operations again
to develop the encouraging prospect OF
that claim.
Gregory and Bower are making i'm
provements at White Horse City and
will put up another building as soon as
the weather permits.
Harry Pardue and Frank Rhodes have
a good prospect in the Crescent which
parallels the Jim Blaine. Mr.. Pardue
has sent samples of surface groupings to
an assayer.
Jim Poole and John Warner have
pitched their tent in a sunny vale and
stocked it with provisions for the winter.
They will prospect the country at the
headwaters of the Black Tiger.
Shepley Bros. are figuring on sinking
40 or 80 feet on the Black Point and then
running a drift of 80 feet from the bot
tom of the shaft to prospect their claim.
They were asking for contract figures but
the proposition will go likely begging for
a taker as the miners now in the dis
trict are all employed.
The Washoe tunnel is in 80 feet leav-
ing 70 to go before they expect to cut
the main ledge. A number of encour-
aging stringers have been cut. The in
terest centers considerably on the Jim
Blaine drift and the Washoe tunnel. If
a~nticipations are realized in both in
stances in means that we will feel as
sured that the continuation of the Com
stock is at White Horse.
But as much depends on the Royal as
upon the Washoe for either help demon
strate the correctness Of the theory. The
Royal tunel is in 30 feet and has an Is
inch ledge of gold bearing quartz which
improves as the the tunnel advances.
The "fast male" the Bower jackass,
is the life of the city. He browsed this
week on a box of giant caps, a coil of
fuse and a half box of dynamite. Jim
Gregory says when they want to develop
Andy Russel's Manhatten they will steer
the jackass in that direction, as long as
he's primed, touch him off and blow a
hole in the 'hatten. Be just like 'em.
Charlie Washeim has a ten foot pros
pect hole one on the Emma L." Some
very rich specimens have come from this
claim which has a ledge from one to two
feet wide. It is rich and Charlie expects
to hammer out enough gold with a NOR
tar to buy him a mill. AS we have
seen a number of specimens from this
claim in which there was about as much
gold as rock we think he can gouge
out enough for his purpose.
The Mexicans working in the "Addie
G" have a shaft 40 feet deep and in
prosecuting struck a ledge of three feet
of pay rock. They do not talk much
but have shown samples of the quartz
to numerous parties who say it will go
from $40 up. The Mexicans have been
following the ledge for some time and
as they have been hard at work in the
camp for about six months their stay
means mnch in showing they are more
than satisfied.
Ned Gregory was down from the Jim
Blame Sunday attending to business
matters for that company. The east
drift on the 100 foot level in now in over
80 feet but what has been encountered in
the drift will remain the exclusive news
OF the Jim Blaine company until the
parties controlling the mine see fit to
make information public. Mr.. Gregory
did not and would not say he had been
instructed to keep silent in regard to the
work being done, but he felt sure he
would be on the safe side by leaving the
matter entirely with he manager who
went to the mines yesterday. Whether
he will say anything for publication
upon his return remain to be seen.
We are privileged to draw differences
however and we did not think from Mr..
Gregory's c~ountenance that he had met
with any disappointment, but to the
contrary. He looked like a man with
whom the world had dealt generously
and thought life was worth living after
all. We infer whether, correctly or not
time will determine, that White Hor Sc
