Sackett claim owned by this company. a
shaft is being driven that shows ore in
: offers Sz5.05 per ton for delivered at
\ Germania. On the south side of the shaft
another vein of ore is beginning TO make
its appearance, which will make the sec
ond new vein cut since work was COM
/ menced q month ago.
Adjoining the Kate Sackett claim on
( the west is the Martha claim owned by
the same company. which presents d
! better surface showing than the Kate
/ Sackett. The deepest working will not
exceed 10 feet and in the bottom OF this
says will assay 30 TO = per cent copper
! y to 80 ounces silver and S. or s. in gold
I Al one place, one of the veins is stripped
] by means OF an open cut for 80 feet In
length and shows ore all along.
Standing upon small projection on
/ the Martha claim. dumps can be seen
tat mark the existence of eight differ
/ ent veins. and an investigation shows
l-5-e of these veins TO be less than two
feet in width The belt which these differ
ent veins are in is fully 200 feet in width,
and this being. undoubtedly one ledge,
indicates the immensit.r of the PROPOSE
ton. BY actual count there are % pros
pect hoies upon these TWO claims and
every one shows copper ore.
lie work n the Kate Saclcett shaft
! has proved the existence of two veins
that do not crop upon the surface and il
Is probable there are many more and that
for the width OF 200 feet. as much ore as
waste exists. At one place or the
metal in which some miners say is black
metal or sulohide OF silver, and others
grey copper; but all agree that it is a
hlgn grade silver ore. Mr.. Carver. one
