WEDGE SHIPMENT COMING.
Will Arrive at the Sampling Works
TomorroW.

Harry L. Mills of the Wedge mine has
arrived in the city from Marysvale and
has come in advance of a small ship
ment of ore from that mine, which is
expected at the sampler on Monday.
The Wedge has been known to con-
tain some extremely high grade gold
ore for some time, and a shipment has
been anxiously awaited by great
many in hopes that the reports sent out
from Marysvale could be verified
I'VE have delayed making any move
ment of ore' said Mr.. Mills yesterday.
for certain reasons of our own, but
now we intend to show the public that
the statements published about the
Wedge are facts, and have not been ex-
aggerated
There is only about 5000 pounds in
this lot, but it will be enough to prove
that we have some pretty good ore
down there"
Mr.. Mills would not say how he
Thought the shipment would average
up, but preferred 10 wait until the
sampling works submitted returns be-
fore making any statements relating to
the value of the ore.
I'VE have better ore sacked at the
mine than that on the way here" con-
tinued Mr.. Mills. but 1 think this lot
will be quite satisfactory"
1t was learned last night that gem
tleman, closely associated with Mr..
Mills, had offered to wager 800 with an
other party that this shipment would
average $500 in gold to the ton.
Mr.. Mills states that ore has just
been struck in the tunnel below the
shaft. run to intercept the vein opened
on the surface. Only leader to the
main vein has been cut into, but the
tunnel will only have to go short dis
lance further to strike it.
In speaking of other developments 60
ing on in the camp, Mr.. Mills says the
Colorado crowd is making things live
ly. They are working and spending
money in opening up new properties.
Lee Bartholomew, one of the Colora-
doans, has struck some good ore in
property he is working in the south
fork of Bullion creek.
Mr.. Bartholomew is also interested
with others in the development of the
Copper Belt group, where three shifts
are employed in sinking a shaft.
The Monte Del Rey owners are pre-
pairing to secure patents for their
ground, and at present are vigorously
pushing an incline shaft to a greater
depth.
The Wedge Extension is the scene of
activity. Two tunnels are
being run, one on the vein and the other
is being run TO cross-cut it in another
place.
At the Dalton the working force has
been increased, and the superintendent
of the mine expected to cut the Perjue-
Surprise vein yesterday. The Dalton
looks good, and viii show results later.
Sinking is in progress at the Out of
Sight mine, and the shaft is going down
at the rate of seventeen feet a week
The shaft has reached the depth of
feet.
Operations are in progress at the
Treasure Vault. The stock of the COM
pany is held principally by the owners
Of the Wedge mine, and the property
will be worked from the Wedge tunnel.
The tunnel is now over 800 feet long
and strikes the vein within 100 feet of
the Treasure Vault side lines. The lat
ter company co-operates in the expense
Of building the tunnel.
Gill Bobbige is experimenting devel-
opments at the Deer Trail mine, owned
by o. J. Salisbury. He has recently
a big body of milling ore
IN an upraise that will go S14 to the
ton or higher.
