c. II. Wilbur, Superintendent of the
Golden Eagle gold mine, located in
humboldt county, New, returned from
the property last Saturday night after
an absence of several weeks, during
which time he has sunk Wine from
the lower tunnel in the property to a
depth of over so feet, besides which
he has drifted both ways from the bot
tom of the Wine. and in doing this
he has uncovered a fine body of ore
that is three and one-half feet in
width, while the average size of the
vein all the way down is two feet. and
the ore in the bottom of the workings
shows up in better shape than in any
other portion of the mine.
Development work so far has been
pushed to the 200-foot level and an i'm
provement IN the size of the ore BODY
and the quality of the mineral has been
noted with every foot of work that has
been done.
The Golden Eagle company, which
is composed principally of Salt Lake
men, Will now put in a steam or gaso-
line hoist with the intention of sink
ing to the 400-foot level as soon as
possible.
The usual monthly shipments from
the Golden Eagle have been delayed
on account of bad roads and success

he hopes to have two cars of ore on
the way to this city before the close of
the month, and he also says that the
ore will carry about the same values as
previous shipments which milled about

The officers and stockholders of the
company are we'll pleased with the
showing made. which is certainly an
excellent one for a property that has
only been actively developed since May
last.
Mr.. Wilbur IS also the superintendent
of the ODhir mine in the same neigh
bOrhood, and he states that the tunnel
in this property is being run to cut
the main vein, and it is believed. from
all indications. that connections will
be made within the next 80 days, when
it is expected that ole shipments will
begin as the mineral in the bottom
