Remarkable Showing Being Made In

Remarkable Showing Being Made In
the Vallejo.
The Vallejo is the only property from
which startling surprises may be looked
for these days. and to date it furnishes a
never ending topic for speculation. The
news from it this week is to the effect
that it has a seven-foot breast of ore that
will yield over S100 per ton. An average
sample taken across the breast by q
plain, every day miner not connected
with the property, yielded the following
cent; gold, 3S ounces; value of gold,
S63.S5. Considering the width of the ore
body, the average is something Won
derful and shows the property to be in a
most promising condition. The future OF
the mine depends on the results attained
by the big tunnel. If it cuts the vein on
the level at which it is being driven, the
future of the property is assured and i
City and add much to the prosperity OF
the camp. The developments at the prop
erty are being closely watched by a large
number Of people who expect and hope to
see it prove to be q veritable bonanza.
Capitalists are also watching 1t closely
and several leading mining men visited il
during the past week.
BELOW THE TUNNEL LEVEL.
The Record expected this week to steal
a march on the press of the state and an
nounce that the Ontario company had
gone below the drain tunnel and found
over 20 inches Of ore showing $50 ounces
in silver and % per cent. lead, but the
Salt Lake Herald, which has exceptional
facilities for acquiring news concerning
that company, foreStated us. The ind
was the result of developments instituted
some weeks ago by James Kervin, fore
man at No. q and was uncovered In q
winze sunk on the ledge The ven, al
the point where the ore was encountered,
carries all the ear-marks of being perma-
nent, and Mr.. Kervin is satisfied that he
has demonstrated that the great ontario
is greater still, and that the man is not
alive today who will see it worked out.
The Wine IS now down over 80 feet end
the ore increases IN width with depth.
Good reports come from all parts OF the
property and production is evidently be-
ing restricted TO the expenses of operating
the mine and the dividend that is now
being paid monthly.
TROUBLED WITH WATER.
Sinking in the DAILY No. 2 shaft had to
be again abandoned this week on &C
count of water. and the men laid off in
the upper levels when sinking was re-
week. The bottom of the shaft IS still
some 400 feet from the drain tunnel and
the indications are that the mana cement
will have to wait until the drain tunne,
is far enough advanced TO allow cross
cutting TO a point directly beneath the
shaft after which connection will be
made as it was at Ontario NO. 3, by rails
ing The volume of water encountered
in the shaft this week is beyond the
capacity of the pumps to handle with the
facility necessary in Sinking. Aside from
this feature the mine is in its usual good
CAMP CROSSCUTS.
Monday was payday at the Ontario
and DAILY mines. Ontario and Marsac
mills and at the tunnel. AS a result
there is considerable silver and currency
floating about the camp. 1t used to be
mostly gold.
Parkitea are prone to regard the story
CT the rich gold find in Lambs canyon
recently as a very fiShy story. They do
not believe that any rock that viii pay
for mining will ever be uncovered in that
canyon.
AS will be seen by referring to the ore
shipments, the bad condition of the
roads is a terrible handicap on ore haul
inc. The Daly-West teams have been
taken off and no ore is coming from that
property.
The Silver King boarding house is
completed It has hot and cold water
electric light and every modern i'm
provement, and is pronounced by every
body to be the most complete institu-
ticc Of the kind in the world. 1t is
monument to the progressive manage
ment of the company and must be seen
ard inspected to be fully appreciated.
j. J. Whitaker, who built the Peek
and the Silver King board
ing house, has received word from I. X
Jones that the mill will be competed IN
the future and for him to remain in Parf
City TO place the machinery-at least, sc
