 The new strike recently made in the Little Jessie mine, while not as big as Tumor tirst reported--a cham Der lined with glitteFing gold-is big enough to satisfy any reasonable man, and John :. Jones. owner of the property. is a reasonable mAu. The ore body was struck m the east drift of the 100 foot level, 70 feet from the shaft. The ledge st this point Is IF feet wide, sud in :t is To- inch streak of shipping ore, which goes $SO0 per ton. Two parallel veins have been discovered on the Little Jessie claim, and the prop erty is showing up better with every foot ot work done on it.
 T. W Evans was in town today with samples of some rich ore, taken from . claim owned by him about six miles south of town. The claim is called Star of the West and is located on Indian creek.

 Captain Wm. Dewitt returned yesterday from a vis,t to the Brad shaw mountains and says there is no mistake about the important strike made in W. W. Vanderbilt's Del Pasco mine.

IL came from near the surface and was free milling ore and was fabulously rich. The claim was worked tin base ore was encountered, and as they had no appliances in those days for treating this class of ore, 1t was permitted to lie idle for years. At the point where MF. Vanderbilt struck the ledge 1t Is 700 feet below the surface, so that if the ore body should not extend below this point, he has fortune in sight. Samples of ore were taken clear across the face of the ore body, and they gave assay returns of between S6l2 per ton.
