That the big gold mines of Stateline
are not to be confined to the camps of
Stateline and Pixies Diggings is de-
monstrated in the showing in the Con-
fdence mine which is located in the
northern portion of the district.
This promising property is owned by
DR. G. II. Fennemore of Beaver, and
his associates, and from the DOCTOR
who arrived in the city on Thursday
night on business connected with this
mine, it is stated that as depth is at
tanned in its development a steady and
continuous Improvement is noticeable
Sometime ago the Confidence was
equipped with a whim, and the bulk
head being removed from the 1OO-foot
station in the shaft the same has been
deepened TO tie 150-foot level, at
which point the ore body is very strong,
being four feet in width and carrying
gold values of $40 to the ton, besides
some silver, the rock being free milling
and very lively in its characteristics.
The formation, the doctor states, is a
contact between pOrphyry and granite
and although the footwall of the vein
is we'll defined the true hanging wall
has not been disclosed as yet, the rock
next TO the ore body on the hanging
wall side being a layer of quartz,
which, it is believed divides the min
eral chute the indications being that
with cross-cutting it will be found that
the pay vein is from twelve to fifteen
feet in width.
On the 100-foot level work is also pro-
crossing in the drift being run east on
the vein. This drift is now in a dis
tance Of twenty feet, the face diSclos-
ing a three-foot body of quartz, the
metallic contents of which will run
from $50 to $94 in gold to the ton, be-
sides a few ounces in the white metal.
The mine is in splendid condition and
from all indications it Will make an
enviable record for itself as a wealth
producer during the coming year. Com
Portable cabins have been erected for
winter quarters and everything about
the property is in shipshape condition.
In referring to the mining interests
in the near vicinity of Beaver the
doctor stated that it is reported that in
the Rob Roy on Indian Creek q fine
body of mineral has been uncovered
which assays from $40 to $50 in gold
to the ton. A good showing has also
been made in the Fawn Tracks, on
North Creek, while in the property of
the Indian Greek Mining company some
very encouraging disclosures have been
made. In the White Cliff James Nc
Garry has been pushing development
work and las some nice bodies of gold
ore exposed TO pay MN Tor MS lrOuDle.
Within a few days the doctor Will be-
gin the annual assessment on his Busy
Bee lode not far from the Rob Roy, be-
sides which he win do the necessary
work on other properties of his in the
district, which is called Newton. after
an old and successful prospector of
that name.
At Minersville the Monte Cristo mill
is being overhauled by j. H. DupaiX,

it up on Amelia ore from the old Star
district by the first of the month pro-
