c. II. Schue of western slope fame,
who arrived in the city Monday night.
feels highly encouraged over the mag
nificent showing on the west dip,
where valuable discoveries are now al
most of dailv occurrence.
On the Edna May, according to Mr..
Schue, a fine body of ore was en-
countered on Sunday last at a depth of
so feet The shaft in this ground was
sunk from the surface on low grade
ore, but on the first of the week the
values increased and now the men are
working in a large body of mineral
that carries values ranging from 81 to
s6.
development Of the Edna May and has
q force of Y men in his employ. The
property is owned by an Omaha COM
pany, and nearly all of the stock is held
IN the east.
On the Gray Rooster group, 5000 feet
north of the Edna May, as mentioned
before in these columns, a fine body of
milling ore has been uncovered at a
depth Of 60 feet, the average values of
which at the present time being $50
IL gold to the ton. A incline shaft
was sunk on the Gray Rooster, N-hich
is under the management OF Mr.. Schue.
to the depth of 50 feet in body OF
low grade ore before pay mineral was
encountered, but now there IS TO doubt
as to the peTmanencY Of the deposit
and II IS believed that the values will
increase with depth
Twelve thousand feet north of the
Gray Rooster, and on the same ledge
a large body of ore has been cut in the
125-tGOt shaft, the bottom Of which
broke into the ledge on its last dip last
Sunday No assays of the rock have
been obtained as yet, but within the
next day or two it viii be known
whether or not the new discovery is a
milling proposition. This property is
being worked by Mr.. Schue on a bond,
and he'is we'll satisfied with the show
ing made. as the vein of ore is from
eight 10 nine feet in width and the in
dicatiOns are all that could be desired
This group is known as the ST. John
and the Tuscarora, and is owned by
Colonel z. A. Wall.
Fifteen thousand feet north of the
st. John. and on the same ledge. the
De Lamar Brothers of Stockton and
Mercur have opened uD group of
claims in three places. and with shall
low shafts have uncovered an ore body
Is feet in width, from which hand sam
pie assays of $4.sc have been obtained
This discovery proves the continuity Of
the Omaha and LaCigale ledge TO
within
FOUR MILES OF STOCKTON,
and it is believed that it Will yet be
traced still further. 1t has now been
demonstrated that this ore zone IS
one Of magnificent proportions, as it
has been shown that, starting north
from the Daisies and running to the
discovery made by the DeLamar
Brothers, it IS all of seven miles in
length. IS on the intervening proper
ties fire bodies of milling ore have been
uncovered along its entire course.
In speaking of the LaCigale Mr.
Schue states that the Lillian Russell
shaft is now down TO the 220-foOt level,
and that as depth is attained the value
and quantity of the ore is increasing.
Mr. Schue has just started a new
dou ble-cOmDartment incline shaft 500
feet north of the Lillian Russell, or dis
covery shaft of the LaCigale, and it is
his intention TO connect the two with
levels at every 100 feet, by which means
the property viii be opened in thor
ough manner and large quantities of
ore blocked out.
A mill for this property within the
next few months is now in cOntempla-
ton, and already the plans and speci-
ficatious are being prepared. The
IaCiFale is without doubt one of the
ana there are those who believe that
1t will be a strong rival TO the Mercur
mine.
While fhe Daisy has made a wonder
full showing ever since pay ore was
struck in this property, Mr.. Schue
states that the indications at the pres
ent time are more encourag ing than |
ever as on Monday of this week the |
workings broke into a splendid body of |
altered lime which is soft and easily /
worked, and in the face three assays !
We're taken that gave values of So |
SIC and $12 in gold to the ton.
One OF the objects OF Mr.. Schue's /
visit to Salt Lake is to see about the /
incorporation OF a company on one of /
the original Daisy claims, together with /
four other properties adjoining. This !
Will give 1000 feet on the apex of the /
vein, and there is no doubt but that
with development the group will soon
boast of ore galore and a mill.
