DOWN. ROM THE JENNIE
A TWENTY TON SHIPMENT EN- ROUTE.


Mr.. r.. q. Hardy, superintendent Of
the Jennie mine ON Common creek in
thp state of Idaho. came down from
,hat locality last evening with the re-
r,ort that all was well so far as the
operation of the mine was concerned.
The miners are huslly engaged run
ming n tunnel 10 cut the vein at
depth of $50 feet and all the while are
taking out good shipping ore, a cotton
carload of which will be on the local
market tomorrow. This ore is thought
10 be better grade than that hereto
fore shipped and assays Of 1t will
be awaited with interest. Mr.. Hardy
SAYS that there is not much activity in
the Conner Creek district, the owners
of properties there being too poor to
work them and holding them at such
enormously high figures as to scare off
the ordinary investor. Regarding
mill for the Jennie the gentleman
states that one viii not be built until
the ore showing justifies il.
MIR. Hardy visited theWashakie mine
near the Utah-ldaho boundary line
and was well pleased with the showing
there. In his opinion it viii make
equally as good a property as the Jen-
nie, despite the fact that the latter has
paid from the very commencement of
operations.
The Copper Mountain mine mem
toned above joins the Beaver Lake
ground on the north and shows 40 per
cent copper ore freely. There Is a
shaft ON the property 1l2 feet deep
and n within hoist Is at present being
operated. This ground has n double
apex OF the contact the length Of
three claims or $500 feet and Mr.
.,st.s.
English syndicate, says that the Cop
per Mountain has the greatest surface
showing he has ever seen. Mitchell
has recently looked over the ground
and was very favorably impressed
with its appearance.
IN THE SKYLARK.
Mr.. West says the Skylark is going
to be a great mine. They have $500
feet of apex to the vein as well as the
finest tunnel sites to he found in the
country. A tunnel is now being run
T5 feet and 1t IL thought this will
strike the vein at n distance of $50
feet. The vein dips under lime con-
tact of over 1900 feet wide and the
mineral showing IL a gray, black and
red oxide Of copper. The Skylarb is
an old producer and has shipped plen-
ty of ore. There is an iron vein eN-
posed to view from which ore was eX-
tracted FOR which the smelters paid
Sii a ton. Work on this property will
commence right away and the expec-
tatiOns for its ultimate outcome are
hopeful in the extreme. In the Vicin-
ity Of this mine new people are going
in daily and several new houses are
being erected for their accOmmuda-
tion.
HORN SILVER TUNNEL.
The Horn Silver tunnel is believed
10 he an extension of the great Horn
tsilNpp NINA "a Frisco %
ore was taken out n few days ago that
assayed 20 per cent copper. 80 ounces
in silver and $i.32 in gold to the ton.
Its owners VIII run a tunnel 400 feet
TO tap the vein at n distance of 500
feet. In an assay for lead values the
ore showed a per cent as well as 10
per cent copper and slSj in gold Work
on the proposed tunnel win he com
menced at once and <ill be pushed in
a Systematic and vigorous manner.
The vein matter ia rich and quite ex-
tensive. so that much Is expected Of
The mines operation.
KING CARVER'S BODY.
While there has been very little de-
velopment done on the King Carver,
the mine shows an immense mineral
body and the ground has a vein con-
tact $50 feet In width. The King
Carver Is the favorite ground of old
man Carver, pioneer in that locality.
IN visiting this property Mr.. West
pickedup number Ofsamples FOR assay
and he says that from 20 samples test
ed some time ago values We're obtained
of 30 ounces in silver.3O per cent lead.
10 per cent copper and 50 in gold. With
such an average showing the proper
iy should shortly enter honanzadom.
MONTREAL. STRIKE.
Homeward bound Mr. West visited
the Rocky District where he noticed
n fair degree of activity. with work
progressing very satisfactorily in all
the mines. The Montreal recorded a
strike some time ago the mineral en-
rountered being a pocket of gray and
peacock copper which will go about Il
per cent copper, Where three months
ago only one man was at work I'm this
locality, there are now twelve and all
pegging away industrously and with
great hope OF success The proper
ties here as in Beaver Lake carry high
values in gold and silver and this con-
clifton promises much for the future of
the new camp.
The camps at this locality are Great
ing considerable interest. says Mr.
West, and outside capitalists are daily
going over the ground hooking for
Investments in the copper mining
line. Mr. Mitchell heretofore referred
10, mas his eye on the Beaver Lake for
Inc syndicate he represents and on his
VISIT to the mine he took away with
nm $50 pounds of the ore. ostensibly
