Large Body of Fine Ore Struck in
the Dalton and Lark

In the Dalton & Lark a few days
since, on the $40 level. a large ore body
was encountered while drifting. De-
velopments have proved it to be Is
feet wide, of which six feet is high
grade and the balance milling. A raise
is in progress for stopping. The mine is
now employing p me-s, and stamp
mill busy with products of develop
ment work. A number of important
strikes have been made in the Dalton
q Lark since active production was
suspended last fall, and the mines are
in shape for an extensive output when
ever market conditions move the
management to change its policy
Work is actively progressing on the
site for the Highland Boy mill, which
is now nearly ready for the founda-
tion- About 80 men are employed and
a number of masons came in last night.
The building will so up as fast as
practicable. and without a doubt the
mill will be running within 80 days
estimate. In Contractor Dederich
there is an old and sklllful manager
at the lever. Standish & Jimpson have
already delivered $4,000 feet of lumber.
and another lot is waiting in the depot
yard. The neighborhood of the High
land Boy company's operations is by
far the busiest locality in Bingham.
In excavating for the boiler site at
u
mense ore chute was uncovered, by the
creek within ten feet of the road, and
/ it looked like there might be a pot full
of money in sight. There is at least
four feet of solid truck that looks good.
/ but it proves to be low grade, the high
est assay showing only about seven
ounces silver 1t is on the main vein
and no doubt the water of the creek
and lime action have during the ages
freed the mineral, or that with little
! depth the ore will compare with that
| in other parts of the vein.
| The new company to operate the
Winnamuck property having taken
/ formal possession on Wednesday, II is
understood that operations are soon to
begin on an extensive scale, including
ore production for market, which has
been entirely suspended for many
months. Bother from creek water is
now rapidly subsiding, and the old
mine ought to soon be in shape to en-
( ploy a large force of men.
/ Manager Dan Clays has the boiler
/ for the Julia Dean mine nearly in
or ten days. 1t has between 40 and
| 50-horse power. When engine and ma
/ chinery are all in motion, operations
will be greatly facilitated and the Julia
Dean will be a hummer.
Colonel Heffron returned to camp
last Monday, after several months
absence, and is resuming operations on
his lease on the Niagara property in
connection with the cyanide mill. His
work last season was profitable.
/ Notwithstanding surface water is
! seriously interfering with operations
at the Sampson Consolidated, some fine
ore bodies have been encountered in
that property within the past few
weeks

siderable quantities. 1t entities that
grand property to be styled the New
Telegraph.
Beaver & Brink have Is tons of good
ore out at the Columbia, of the Mark
ham group and are putting the Black
Dog road in shape for hauling.
The Old Jordan mill is running
smoothly again and will soon be MAX
ing its average output for the past
several months.
A two-car-Ioad lot of gold ore from
the Excelsior, of the old Jordan prop
erty was hauled by Standish & jump
son this week.
We hear of important mining and
milling projects, the particulars of
which are withheld for the present.
Since about the 9Th, seven carloads OF
ore have been shipped from the Tie
waukee, by the company and various
! leaSerS.-
