| The Mammoth mill has been running
on ores from Mammoth No. l. During
the week good ore is being regularly

| Rich float has been found on the Kyle
mine. This is very promising prospect

Rich hill group.
Rich streaks of ore are beginning to
come in on the Stella ". The vein has
not as vet been fully cross-cut but so far
every indication points to the close prox-

Work on the Black Queen has been con /.
tinued in rich quartz close to quartzite
wall which is itself somewhat auriferous ;
sufficient work has not as yet been done
on this property in the matter of sinking
to reach tho main lode which lies be-

This ore lies III white porphyry which is
very hard and the metal exists in the
