The attention of The Herald has been
called TO the statement contained in the

eHect that the ore in the new discovery

that the writer meant to say % per cent
rms Is common error with those who
are unfamiliar with mining terms. but
the difference in the value between %
cents = ton and % per cent per ton is
a great one, and especially so with the
person who has the ore TO sell Men
ton of the strike in the Hardscrab bible mine
was made IN The Herald of Saturday
last. Since that time an assay has been
made of the ore from the new strike. and
an average of the 12-fOot ledge gave
values of % $40 per cent copper to the
ton, besides a trace in gold and silver
This is high grade considering the mag
nitude of the ore body, and the strike is
considered as being a most important
one.
From parties who have recently visited
the Triumph mine, near Silver City. Tin

Hodge Marshall. one of the contractors
and heavy stockholders of the Buckeye,
on the west dip in Camp Floyd district
who is in the city, informs The Herald
that this ground is opening up in most
encouraging manner and that just before
he left the mine, the face of the lower
tunnel had broken into the vein. which
was well mineralized. In the upper work
ings of the property. sample of ore
was taken a day or so ago that assayed

that with depth the ore values will in
crease The recent free gold strike in
tie West Dip group, which is only 3.00l
feet south of the Buckeye, is attracting
great deal of attention and mining
men are f1ocking there by the score. Mr..
Marshall was one of the first to visit
the scene of the new discovery. and he
states that it is a most important one.
although its extent has not as yet been
determined. AS stated before in these
columns. the whole of the bottom of the
shaft is in ore that carries free gold that
is visible to the naked eye. 1t will take
time. however. to demonstrate the value
of the find. which is on the same belt as
the Buckeye. and the ledge can be traced
from one property TO the other.
From Judge ]. w Green, the superin-
tendent of the Buckeye mine, near Silver
City, who is in the city for the purpose
of attending meeting of the board of
OF the company. II Is ledIneu
that this property is showing up better
than ever, and that now, with the new
pump in operation, the shaft is being |
dee0ened in most satisfactory manner
and new and richer bodies of ore are be- !
ing exposed. Mr.. Green brought in with /
him some fine samples of copper carbon |
ates from the 270-foot level. where there /
is an eisht-inch pay streak that carries /
average values of over $50 ounces in sill |
yer to the ton, besides gold and copper. /
Near this body of mineral there is a /
smaller vein. running parallel with it. |
that assays 50 per cent lead, COZ ounces |
silver and $3.50 in gold to the ton, while
below the water level the mineral |
cha.A-es in its general characteristics and j
cam values of q per cent copper 80
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold. 1t is the
to push work in the develop
ment of the property, and the shaft will
be sunk to the deep as rapidly as posi-
BILE A carload of ore is now en- route
from the Buckeye that will run 40 per
cent lead. 100 ounces silver and $3.50 in
gold to the ton. This is the richest ship
ment that the company has made. in
of which the officers of the
are highly pleased.
