Here the vein is from two TO six seet
thick. On the second level, which is
102 feet lower, a drift has been run
north 167 feet, and another south lou
feet. and at this point the vein has
increased TO a thickness of eight feet.
At the S00-foot level the vein has reacn-
ed thickness of % feet, and the north
drift is $50 feet long, and south 100
feet.
The ore in these levels is of good
teaching variety, and it is from these
that the mill is being supplied. On the
40O-foot level drifts have been run
north and south. los and 125 feet re-
sDectively, and it is here that the
black ore has been found This ore is
mixed with carbon, which gives it the
black color. and when put in Che leach
ing tanks with the other ore, does not
part with the gold, but extracts the
precious metal from the other coming
out of the teaching tank richer than
when put i'll. A method of extracting
its values has, however, been discov
cred, and will soon be put in practice,
but it is necessary to keep the two
kinds of ore separate.

level, and a short distance has brought

carrying similar values to that found
above.
The failure of the water has inter-
fered somewhat with the operation OF
the mill, but notwithstanding this
drawback a good run is being made.
Ore has been found in the north shaft
in the Omaha, at depth of IS feet The
vein is small. as yet. and values have
not been tested. The other two Shafts
have reached a depth of 40 feet, and
are likely TO reach the vein at any
time. Eighteen men are employed, and
two shifts are being worked.

the second set of. rolls The work of
teaching and precipitating the gold is
going on very satisfactory and they
have determined the length of time
and the strength of solution necessary
to the most satisfactory results. They
are also experimenting with zinc plates
instead of shavings for precipitating
the gold and find that it works all
right. They may be able to entirely
substitute plates for shavings. They
clean up some of the precipitating box
es every day and have quite a guam
tity of auro-cyanides now on hand. The
product is quite different in appear
ance than that from other mills. The
zinc is more completely dissolved and
the stuff looks more like fine road dust
than anything else. Most of the ore
that has SO far been leached is from
the old dump and the product is large
ly silver. The saving is about rs per
cent ard the product is SO per cent pure
With this percentage of saving it will
pay to work 20-ounce silver ore.

successful experiment made by Manager

will be resumed. A drift is showing three

an assay was obtained giving 9 per cent

There is no doubt that the leasers of the

and has reached depth of 245 feet. The
ore was reached at a depth of 40 feet
and the balance of the incline has
been in the ore all the time. The val
ues so far are much lower than at the
Daisy, but as the vein dips towards the
south, II is not probable that the in
cline has yet reached the same forrna-
tion being worked in the Daisy. The
vein at the bottom of the incline is
seven feet thick. and is steadily in
creasing. The ground is easy to work,
and an average of % feet per week is
being made in the incline. From the

ct both points. Arrangements are be-
ing made for building a within house
