tention about IT, zee years ago. is
separated from the Aultman a
small porphyry dyke. The late A.
r. Watson was the original locator,
and through his energy the mine was
opened and developed While Mr..
Watson operated the mine about fifteen
| hundred feet of tunnels, drifts and OPEN
| ings were made. The ledge was stripped
md exposed on the west eud of the mine
! for distance of three hundred feet which
| showed the ledge to be very lar%e. one OF
| the principal openinFs, the one leading to
| what is known as the cave, IL reached
! through a tunnel sixty feet in length, at
| which point cave was encGun tered ana
| the ore vein was also reached. From this
| point an incline forty-ye feet in depth
! Has sunk. 1t the bottom OF the incline
drift was driven one hundred uudtfonty-
| FIVE feet to tae cast, and also a7H.a#r mir
ty-iive lees 10 the no.th. SeEerrl tta#'- uts
were made at different place, all u y ich
| are il ere OF good grade. 10 tbs west OF
| the work in the cave are o6h"r extensive
works, in which large amoant of drifting
! and sinking has. been done end Il 9GantltY
| Of good ore WAS exposed. 2ft4t many
! toua of orc were millad FROM Thu portion
Of the mine with fir results. From
statnent IF facts recording the Joanna
| mine, prepared hy the Hon. Thos. Wren of
ilHreka, Nevada, the following quotation
| is made: 1.-THE ore was reduced at a small
ten stamp water nil at the town Of Ely,
about three miles from the mine. The mill
| IS poorly constructed and tha only appli-
| Ances Tor saving gold were copper plates.
Less than ope-ha!f The gold WAS saved by
| this MODE of working, IS was shown by
| constant ASSAYS az the tnilinPS. APPROX
mately seven dollars n ton waS aaYed by
! this process, IS shown y the returns bv

| With any degree OF accuracy. Some, how
