The Alliance Crcsscut Within Six
Feet of an Ore Body.
superintendent Kearns of the Silver
King, says the mine will continue to
employ its usual force of men and make
valuable Improvements in and about
the property, and that only ore enough
will be shipped to meet current ex-
penses. Recent developments in the
Silver King have shown that even its
owners and the men who know every
loot Of ore uncovered, are not yet able
TO even comprehend the true value of
the property, as new and unexpected
developments are constantly being en-
countered. A drift recently run in the
direction of the big cross-cut driven by
the Alliance people in their efforts to
tap the Silver King ore body, en-
countered a vein Of fine ore of an en-
tlrely different character from any that
has yet been shipped by its lucky own
ers. The cross-cut driven by the AL
lance people was broken into in cross
cutting the vein and found to be only
six feet away from the ore, which is
another Illustration of how near one
can come to fortune, and yet miss
it altogether All in all, the Silver
King is one of the most wonderful
properties in the world, and the record
it could make with silver the equal
Of gold would make Butte City or
Leadville out of Park City in a few
years.
THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY.
A trip to the Daly-West mine sun
day last found that property moving
along with renewed energy owing to
the fact that the new hoisting machin-
cry is now working as smoothly as
could be desired. For the first time a
trip was made to the lower levels of
the big property and we do not hesitate
to say that the Daly-West is all right;
that she has mountains of high and low
grade ore, and that production will de-
pend only on the will of the manage
ment. There is ore everywhere and in
remarkably large bodies, which are
opened up in the best manner known
TO mining engineering. The new hoist
ing works are remarkably convenient
in design and complete in finish, and
being well painted present a. neat APP
pearance inside and out The painting
was done by j. A. Lenzi, who is all
through with the exception of the en-
CINE. which he is now personally en-
gagged in decorating and proposes to
make it a thing of beauty and a joy
forever. The Daly-WeSt has ordered
another hall for its big Ingersol air
compressor, and when that arrives and
is placed in position, the Daly-West
plant will be complete in every respect
and one of the most efficient in the
world. Money cannot buy better
equipment.

An important piece of mine engineer
Ing that has long been decided upon
and which every man interested in the
development of the camp hopes to see
begun in the near future, is the pro
posed long tunnel to tap the Crescent
vein some 900 feet below its present
deepest workings. The company has
decided that such a tunnel is abso-
Iutely necessary, and when the day
comes for the company to resume
operations the tunnel will be driven
through the mountain according to the
ola survey made seven years ago. The
tunnel will not only afford the Cres-
cent company thorough drainage to a.
great depth and greatly cheaper the
cost Of ore production, but it will be
the means of proving up large scope
OF supposed valuable ground lying be-
tween the mouth of the tunnel in
niger hollow and the Crescent mine.
II the people declare for free coinage by
electing Bryan and a silver congress,
the enterprise will undoubtedly be
started this fall and pushed steadily to
completion, for we have it from relia-
Die authority that when the mine starts
up the proposed tunnel will be the
main feature of its operations.
HAVE GOT A MINE.
The new board OF directors of the In
observation-disclosures Mining company,
whose property is at Diamond, Tintic
mining district, held a meeting last
evening at the office Of Dr. G. D.
Oregon and elected the following
officers for the ensuing year: G. D.
Greg7or, president; A Leichter secre-
tary; K. A. Kjos, treasurer; @. E. Ford.
general manager.
Mr. Nimrno, who came up from the
property to attend the meeting, reported
the mine as loking very favorable.
there being over two feet of pay ore
or the foot-wall, with the chute CON
stantly widening. Mr.. Nimmo has
been in charge of the property for some
time, but will turn it over to Mr.. Ford
on the goth, on which date the latter's
appointment takes effect In the mean
time he expects to make one or more
shipments of ore.
The directors levied no assessment as
it is expected that the mine viii paw
its way from this time forward, and as
Mr.. Ford is a thorough miner, there is
little question but that expectations of
the directors will fully materialize.
CAMP CROSSCUTS.
Operations We're begun on the board
ing house for the Silver King this
morning and the structure will be
rushed to completion.
The damage to the pinion wheel of
the Woodside hosting engine has been
temporarily repaired and the mine re-
sumed operations this morning.
Frank Duncombe, who has had
charge of the development work on the
Putnam group during the past sum-
mer, has been appointed foreman of
the Vallejo mine and took charge Mon
day last. Mr.. Duncombe will have en-
tire charge of developments and will
systematic the work of development.
The owners have come to the concIu-
sion that in order to make a mine out
OF their promising prospect it is neces-
sary to have a recognized head, some
person with requisite knowledge to, di-
rect the work to the best advantage.
Mr.. Duncombe is a thorough miner
