whole attention of the company can
now be turned to the work of develop
ing the property
In the La Cigale work is being done
on the Lillian Russell and also at the
north end of the property. In the Lii
liam Russell nothing can now be seen
| but ore, as work has reached a point
where hanging and foot walls have dis
appeared At the north shaft the ore
body has been encountered, and drifts
are being run along the vein.
Certain interests in the Sego Lily have
passed from Castleman and Hart into
the hands of Andrews and his CO.
partners. The workings are in ore,
although the values are not very high
as yet.
The claims were sold for $4,000 and
the money paid at once The new
company is going to crowd develop
ment work right along, and force of
hands will be on the ground soon.
Castleman and Hart have 10 men at
work on the Gold Zone, which is near
! the Daisy and the SegO Lily. Ore has
been found in the property which as
says $5.75. Mr. Hunt is of the opinion
that the veins in the Daisy, La Cigale
and Sego Lily are different veins, al
though they may all unite further west.
The workings so far seem to confirm
the theory that as the veins run west

reached west of the foothills.
At the Wonder the formation con-
tinues to improve, and although the
values are not yet very high, the show
ing is satisfactory to the company. The
superintendent took in some fine look
ing samples to Salt Lake City for
assaying when he went home on
Thursday to spend Christmas.
The main shaft at the Golden Gate
is being sunk through a vein of rich
oxodized ore which lies below the ar
Senical vein.
Mr.. Kellogg, who has been drilling at
the East Golden Gate, is getting ready
to move his machinery to the west
dip, where he will drill some holes
OF local mine operators are in the
movement.
The way machinery and lumber is
being delivered at the Mercur depot is
not very suggestive of hard times.
Houses of various kinds are being
erected all through the west dip. Ma
chinery is being delivered to the older
denceS are being erected in Mercur.
Messrs. Phoenix and Scott went to
Salt Lake City a few days ago to re-
ceive the third payment on the Sage
Hen, having been notified that the
money was placed to their credit in the
bank.
Work on the Oklahoma group will be
commenced today. Messrs. Center and
Graham have succeeded in getting Mr..
w. E. Laid of Salt Lake City inter
ested in the property and four men
will commence operations at once The
development will be continued as long
as the owners can raise enough means
to keep the work going on. The group
lies near the Sacramento and the indi-
cations are good.
In a conversation with Superintend-
ent Hines of the Northern Light, your
correspondent learned that the mill
will soon be running and $40 ore will
be the kind of material that will be
put in the teaching watts. All the gold
and so per cent of the silver can be
saved by the cyanide process.
1t keeps a recorder and two deputies
busy recording new claims and amend
ing location notices these days, and the
records show as much as a weeks diff
ference between the date of filing and
the date of recording.
