Huge Ledge Found.

Word reached Spokane last week from
Greenwood camp B. c., that the cross
cut which has been running for several
months across the ledge in the Knob Hill
property has finally got into the foot wall
after running continuously through l37
feet of solid ore. The story almost seems
too big to be true, but it is vouched for by
mining men from that camp who are famil-
lar with the monster lodges of the Bound
airy Creek country. The Knob Hill is the
oldest location in Greenwood camp, and
was staked in 1891 by Henry White.
The success of the Knob Hill and Old
Ironsides claims is due to the business
sagacity and good management of Spo-
kane operator. Jay p. Graves, who is now
on an extended trip to eastern cities. He
obtained control of the Old lronsides and
Knob Hill. adjoining claims, and organ
lied two companies to operate them, fully
confident that he had properties which
would one day prove great mines.
, The properties are in Greenwood camp
six miles from Greenwood City, and q
? good wagon road has been built to them
, They were located under the old minera
act and are consequently the American
size claims, l5OOx6O0 feet. Both are crow
granted.

week. This makes 100000 paid in profits
by the mine within the past 80 days. The
enlarged mill started up last week. 1t

of ore daily. 1t is expected that the
monthly dividends will continue at $780,
600 the rest of the year, with an extra
one on Christmas, and that, beginning
with the new year, the monthly payments
will be doubled. Mining men familiar with
the property offer to wager that it will be
paying profits of 100000 monthly before
next June The remarkable ore body
tapped recently at a depth of 400 feet is
meeting all expectations. Drifts ere be
ing run both ways from the point OF the
