AT THE OLD RELIABLE.
Good Pay Ore Reached in the Frisco
The Yosemite.

The Yosemite.
Bingham Bulletin: At a depth of
so feet the winze from the main tunnel
of the Frisco has gone into about
two feet of fine pay ore. Superintend-
ent Talbot is to be congratulated upon
this result, as he seems to have been
the only person who could fathom
Frisco hill by logical reasoning and had
nerve to go after what he believed was
there. A general theory has been that
the ore above the tunnel level was
from cross vein and nothing would
be found below, while Mr.. Talbot be-
lieved the vein was split and would
come together just as has been demon
strated. A working shaft will now be
started and a steam hoist put in. This
strike means much for the locality,
beyond a doubt Mr.. Talbot on Tues
day took a sack of ore to the city TO
have it asSayed.
After long idleness, enforced by liti-
cation, work is resuming on the Samp-
son and Yosemite No. mines, lately
consolidated. The operations will
doubtless be continuous and important,
as there are large quantities of first
grade ore in sight, and an extensive
area can speedily be got in readiness
for stopping. The ore is on the Yosem-
tie side and will be raised through the
Sampson. About rs feet of drifting
will be done at once to connect the
two mines, and they are destined to be-
come a great property. Thus is ah-
other case Of disastrous litigation hap
PLY knocked out by compromise.
AT the Giant Chief, ground adjoining
the Old Telegraph, nine men are now
employed and late developments are
reported of a most promising nature.
Sinking shaft on the vein is progress
ing. 1t is to be put down 100 feet, when
drifts will be started.
The new strike in the Frisco will
stimulate the owners of several adjoin-
ing properties to sink, as none of them
have been prospected below tunnel lev
els. They include the Dora, Lone Tree,
Julia S., Morning Star and Zelnora
claims.
The operations on the old Barstow,
begun in December apd in which ex-
Sheriff Hardy and John Butter are in
terested. have resulted in the finding Of
ore from which high assays are OBJ
tanned. They are on the right track.
Judge Turnbull is reported to have
struck a good thing in the Saratoga
(Stewart No. 1 group. Much gopher
ing was formerly done to find the ore
chute in this claim. The ledge only
ran a few feet and is strictly in it.
Ore of good grade is accommodating at
some of the Phoenix mine leases, and
considerable shipments are likely to be
made next month.
The advance in silver and lead Tues
day was noted with interest by a num-
Der of Bingham miners who are hold
ing their ore.
Rich assays have lately been obtained
from new Bingham claims, which are
liable to soon attract attention.
It is understood that a 300-foot con-
tract for extending the Tiewaukie tun-
mel will be let in a few days.
Manager Hill will start work on the
Fortune group next Monday, with a
small force.
Wilt & Whippold have a lot of ore
ready for shipment from their Greeley
lease.
Johnny Jimpson is hauling a 25-ton
lot of Turngren group ore for ship
ment.
Maxfie-d & Phillips have taken a con-
tract for sinking the Tiewaukie shaft.
The Montezuma mine is today COM
pleting a 50ton shipment.
Several leases on the Tiewaukie were
taken this week.
