quence ruled fairly steady. Chicago made
a decline. but under the influence of light

week for feeding. and wanted more han
they got. While the receipts for the week
were over 1900 less than the week pre-

rivals for the same time last year. and
they were all absorbed at steady prices
in the face of the lower Eastern markets.

George Clark. foreman of the Chlor-
ide Point mine on LION hill, telephoned
the company from Mercur yesterday
that in the operation of the property
the vein or body. which is a regular
blanket vein, had widened to 80 feet,
the whole mass being q shipping propo-
sltion, the average values being in the
neighborhood Of IS ounces silver and
some gold, while some of the mineral
assayed as high as $50 ounces in the
white metal to the ton,
The Chloride Point has been steadily
improving with development until now
It Is the wonder of all who see 1T, and
it begins to look as If the mine would
soon rank as a regular diYldend payer
from Its ore shipments alone, 10 say
nothing of what it will be able to 90
in this line as soon as the new mln is
completed, as the ore reserves being
disclosed as work progresses are now
seemingly ineXhaustihle.
Speaking of the mill, Charlie Ford,
who has charge of its construction.
who was in the city yesterday, states
that 5000 feet of lumber have been put
into the mill building and that the
balance of the lumber IS on the ground,
so that the structure Will be enclosed
within a few days ready for the ma
chinery, which IS now arriving.
1t is the prevailing impression with
well-informed mining men that the
Chloride Point is a counterpart of the
old Northern Light, and that with
depth large deposits of good milling
ore will be uncovered. In fact, it was
this that led to the acquisition of the
property by the present company, as 1t

THE SOUTH SWANSEA.
Marked Improvement in This Prop
erty as Depth Is Attained.


REPORTS were in circulation yesterday
and the day before to .be effect that a
sensational strike had been made in
the South Swansea, at Silver City. but
these rumors were denied at the office
of the company, although it was stated
that the mine was looking unusually
well and that as depth was attained
there was a marked Improvement In
the size of the ledge and the value OF
the ore.
A day or two ago, the shaft of the
South Swansea. upon reaching the 626
level. furnished evidence that all was
going we'll with the mine. AT this
point a drill hole was run into the vein
of ore on the footwall a distance of 20
inches and when the shot was fired a
fine lead of mineral was disclosed, and
as there was good ore beyond, the eX-
tent of the deposit was not ascertained,
but the showing was splendid and as
says of some of the, rock disclosed sill
yer values to the extent of 1874 ounces
in silver to the ton, with excellent lead
contents.
AS the break in the ore was made
for the purpose of putting in wall
plate. investigation in that direction
VIII not be pushed any further until
the $50 level is reached. when a sta
ton Will be cut and an upraise made on
the ore and drifts run both ways on
the vein, but The Herald is Informed
that the ore uncovered on the foot
wall is but a continuation of what has
been following the shaft all the way
from the 600 level. and it is expected
that when the vein is opened by a
cross-cut the showing will be some
thing to brag about.
As it is. the officers Of the company
are we'll pleased over the fact that with
deep sinking the vein is getting
stronger. while the metallic values are
constantly improving.
carload of carbonate ore from the
mine is now at the sampler. a hundred
ton shipment of the usual grade OF
mineral was shipped from the mine
yesterday and another lot of the same
size is now being loaded on the cars
1t IS the aim and intention of the
company to develop the South Swan
sea in a thorough manner, and with
this in view the shaft will be sunk and
levels run until this property has the
honor of being one of the deepest
mines in the district.

have proved very rich. There is 1900
feet of pay chute. some of the rock
going as high as 100000 per ton, other
quantities or ore going $4,000 per ton.
The mine was discovered by running
a tunnel through the rim of gravel
channel in expectation of making a
placer mine. Moser has been working
steadily up to six weeks ago. when the
mill was closed down and only small
force of men were employed sinking in

that as soon as this is in place and in

there are stratas of mineral running

near presence of a body of rich ore
are very encouraging.
Work is progressing also in the run
ming of a tunnel on another portion OF
the GaIena group, the face of which is
all in mineral. and it is expected that
the company will be able to make a
shipment of high grade rock within
the next 80 days
Besides the properties mentioned
there are a number of other prospects
in which the outlook is encouraging,
among them being the Skylark, on
which development work is being push
ed and the indications are that within
the next 10 or 20 feet the tunnel on
this property will cut the ledge.
Taking it all in all. there is consider
able activity in the district at the
present time. and every one who has
made an inspection of it of late has
been very favorably impressed with the
heavy surface naturalization of the
camp.
