From H c. Baporn, Who llas just re

learned THAT THE sN1awng in the opex is
| very encouraging. The cross cut from the

J. J. DAILY. of the DAILY West, denies the
rumors IN circulation to the effect that
II was his intention to resume the active
operation of the mine in the near future
Notwithstanding the fact that he has Just
equipped the DAILY West mill with four
Willy concentrating tables, which, he
state. is being done merely to complete
/ the Pant. as he has no intention of start
ing it IN this winter unless there should
be decided advance in silver quotations.
| The mine is looking well. with an abund-
ance of good ore in sight. but at present
prices It will not pay to operate the
| property.
Prof A W RotheITnel, of Lead, s. D.,
who recently received q sample of Rlon-
1 dixie ore from New York, with the request
I that ne examine it carefully, has COM
pietcd the work. The report says the
| piece of ore sent him comes from a small
| vertical ledge. the same being formed by
I the joining together of two lodges. PROB
ably six and ten inch bodies, both of
which meet each other at a Gulch. In
/ breaking away the ore, this specimen kod
run into the creek and had been taken
out in placer Washings. He estimates that
the mother lode exists 30 fact from the
small ledge from which the ore came and
| runs in a norteaSt. southwest direction.
| Two chuteS exist in this main ledge.
| which are at least four feet wide. and they
/ are unquestionabIy rich. The specimen
/ shows the value Of the ore to be 1920 in
/ gold yer ton THE formation of the ore
! is white quartz with oxide Of copper.
! which, the report says, is a very peculiar
/ formation. From the explanatory note &C
I campaigning the specimen from New York,
! the professor made a map of the sur
roundtngs of the spot from where it was
/ taken.
