The Commander Is being sold for $50 900
10 an English company. and the Jumbo Tor
$500 000 These are two excellent initial
properties for London TO handle me
Comma nder has recently opened up me
ore body, and the Jumbo and Deer Park
are the two phenomenal big ore bodies OF
the camp Mines Ike the Deer Park ana
the Jumbo should be handled on colossal
scale and should he run by company
which would build It's own smelters and
concentrators.
This Is also true of the ST. Elmo and
Monte Cristo The 81. Elmo is tapped at
a depth OF 900 feet by e0o-foot tunnel run
right through the ledge the entire way
from the ST. Elmo Consolidated ground.
There are twenty-five feet Of clean ore In
the vein where the tunnel now Is. This
ore will average 81 a ton. and is fine
concentrating ore Such mine as the st.
Elmo Is an Eldorado. but II must have
capital to concentrate and reduce Its ores
before II becomes a rich dividend payer.
The Center Star has recently opened up
chute Of ore FIVE feet wide that Is rich In
copper and carries five ounces OF gold TO
the ton.
besides the remarkable showing In ths
Center Star the War Eagle and the Com
mander. the Sunset on Deer Park noun
tain has been developing In very remark
able way. A fine ore body that averaged
over $40 10 the ton was mined for seventy
feet n a drift on the ffty-foot level OF this
claim The vein has been stripped 20 the
confines Of the Nest Egg, and understand
tbs Sunset owners are about 20 drive n
tunnel in from this place. This vein or the
Sunset Is the main vein OF the Nest Egg
and IL Is satisfactory 90 ind that ore OF
such high value has been obtained from
It. have not had this ore assayed myself,
and I'm the case OF the Sunset the develop
Fneuts have been carried on by the same
parties who manipulated the Alugwump.
Yet I am told on all sides that the Sunset
Is liable TO be one OF the best dividend
payers OF the camp. ] shlnk the same IL
true Of the l. Y. l.. The California and
Big Three have very sensibly shut Gown
during the heavy snow. Several other
claims have done the same including some
OF the Linnard Syndicate mines. I am In

Il brings strong concerns 20 Develop theaa
mines. The control OF the Nest Egg and
Fire Fly Is also being transferred 10 a
powerful company, which intends TO push
development on that property during the
coming summer. Several capitalists have
tried TO trade foy the Deer Park. bat ne
