ner foot in sinking. 1t is a double
compartment shaft, having man-Way
with ladder complete to the bottom,
allowing of ingress or egresS when
needed.
Work was commenced on this group
on the 14th of July of the present year.
and but one shift has so far been Kept
on. though it is the intention to put
on another after the first of the year.
The shaft is timbered throughout with
two inch red pine, and the hosting is
done by a common sense" Whlm Oh
easy manipulation, double doors
operating on hinges cover the mouth
of the shaft at all times, and the
cable operates through slot, allowing
them to open when the bucket strikes
them in ascending, when they again
close down, and the dump car IS run
directly under the bucket that IS ar
ranged to speedily tip over its con-
tents The bucket is then allowed TO
run down by means of a brake on the
whim. They are now working in a
composition of siiiciCUS porphyry, de-
COMPOSED and mixed with silica, that
runs from S150 to $3.50. The last
fifteen feet will average SO per ton;
ASSAYS show as high as $40 and some
even higher.
There has recently been built a
large shaft house with barn attached,

This property is about 800 feet d.
rectlv north of the Rover, and about
400 feet higher. The vein pitches to
the east, and at the same time rises
about rs feet in that distance, when
would mean that in the neighborhood
of 800 feet in depth the vein Will be
cut. With the Rover on the south. the
Northern Light and Little Plttsburg
on the north, it will be seen that It IS
but a question of depth until the great
ore body is reached on the Eagle pro-
perties.
II is intended that a steam hoist
will be put in shortly, the water to be
piped from the Rover pipe line that is
going in AS it is now, team is III
service for hauling Coal costs $40 per
ton at the mine.
Angus Cannon has three claims join
ing on the north, and has sunk a shaft
100 feet, getting through the fossilized
lime and reaching the porphyry under
the lime-there are three claims-the
Nora, Nora No. and the Junction
On the west of the Eagle group
Colonel Wall is working one claim,
the Lake View. and is now down 40
feet -,
The Eagle group is on a line with
the Mercur, Golden Gate, Marion and
the Rover, such line extending on over
the hill to producing mines. tending to
show that the ore zone traVerses that
section. and all the Eagle people are
feeling comparatively easy on future
results.
