ity is very f1attering. On the Overland
an incline is being run from the bottom
Of the shaft on the dip of the vein, and
this is now down thirty-f1ve or forty
feet in good milling ore. On the 600
level of the Sunshine the face of the
225 foot south drift is in an immense
body of high grade ore, and the mine

large chunk of cinnabar ore from the

j. D. Keifer, the well-known mining
operator, has returned from visit to
Gold Hill mining district, Piute county,
and he states that he is much pleased
with that country and its mineraliza-
ton. While there he enjoyed the hos
pitality Of Charlie Lammersdorf of the
Sewer mine, and was courteously shown
through this fine mine and mill. Mr..
Keifer is of the opinion that the sur
face ores of Gold mountain are free
milling, but that with depth they will
change in character to free gold and
tellurium product that will require
combination treatment. On the east
of the mountain, he says, there is
dyke of birdseye porphyry that is very
similar in character and appearance TO
the Eagle pUrphyry that overlies the
gold zones in Mercur. The formation on
Gold Hill is a contact between birdseye
porphyry and granite.
