Good News From Old Elk.

AOOsA AsO We = OAAA Oh>A A@AAAs
Word comes from Elk City that
Mr.. Silverman is employing force
of 25 men ON the Blue Dragon
mine, consisting of three shifts
working eight hours each. The
old shaft sunk to a depth of 70
feet is now full of water and a
whim is being erected to keep it
dry, when it will be sunk to the
1OO-foot level and then drifts will
be run on the vein both ways.
Buildings are.also being erected and
the scene around the mine is one
of great activity. The Blue
Dragon is located on American
river, south of the Buster hill.
The only groupings we're found ON
the meadow bottom, but there
they show q strong vein of iron
sulphurets giving good gold values
as far as the shaft was sunk.
The property has had a checkered
history, and we hope it's troubles
are now over and that it will de-
velop into q sure-enough bonanza
mine. Butte and Tacoma parties
have it bonded and the new work
is being done on their behalf.
Should the winters development
be satisfactory ten-stamp mill
will be shipped in and the prop
erty put on a paying basi 8 early in
the spring.
