The Bodie claim. in Rennhlic oo,,,,,
whlch mas been under steady develop

favorable values. AS usual, it is depth

anything put low grade ore until with

depth of 200 feet began to show i'm.
proVement. Yesterday the officers of
me company were notified that three
Ieet OF ore in the foot of the shaft went
S14 per ton. 1t is said that the show
ing is most favorable, and that the di.
rectors are much pleased with the out
look, although they have never been
discouraged with the showing on the
Bodle, even though values have been
low. The vein is known to be a good
one, being the San Poll vein beyond
question. 1t has shown quartz all the
way down after the wash, which was
heavy, had been penetrated. The COM
pany has felt that values were surely
there, and that persistent sinking was
the one thing needful The property
is equipped with hoist which may be
used to sink to considerable further
depth. The Bodie adjoins the San
Poll on the south and the shaft is sink
ing on the vein at the north end of the
Bodie, where the San Poll vein is just
entering the claim.
New Camp in Montana
Considerable talk is going on regard
ing new copper camp at the head of
the Blackfoot, says the Muscular.
Judging from the stories told there is
a good prospect of big, rich camp
there. The ore is said to carry a large
percentage in copper and is rich in
gold. From all accounts a stampede
is imminent to this new copper dis
trict at the head of Blackfoot. Lind
brothers, who live near Cooper's lake,
at the head of the Kleinschmidt fiat,
have made some locations in the new
camp. They took samples from their
claims which assayed 20 per cent cop
per and $50 gold. Their claims are
about sixteen miles from Cooper's lake
and everything has to be packed in on
horses over very rough trail.
Republic Notes.
Citizens of Republic are agtating
for fire department.
The Republic stock market has beeen
slightly weaker during the past seven
days and sales have been limited AS
to prices the fluctuations have been
small.
The crosscut on the Tom Thumb has
proven the vein to be fully nine feet
wide and average values over the
whole width may safely be set at SIS
The Madonna Gold Mining company
has been reorganized and at its meet
ing Monday night at the Office of A
Walker, Frank Raborg was made pres
ident.
The recent tests of Republic ores at
the Golden Gate syanide plant near
Mercur, Utah, have proven that the
quartz of that camp can be milled at
a cost not to exceed 81 per ton.
The little group of properties in the
neighborhood of the Golden Lily, on
the northwest slope of Republic hill, is
a busy place just now. The develop
ment of them is showing some good
ore, and the improvement with depth
has been marked.
Cutler T. Porter, the general man
ager for the company, has IA men at
work on the Golden Lion-Little Four.
The Star tunnel has been in ledge
matter for the past 40 feet and in the
past week fine two-foot streak of
quartz has been met.
Four men are at work stripping the
surface of the Hillside, and some fine
quartz is being uncovered.
I'VE are planning now to put in pow
er at once on the Princess Maud" was
the announcement made this week by
II. w. Lane, the superintendent of the
property.
The Republic drift from the third
and lowest level crossed the Jim Blaine
end line Tuesday, and is being steadily
pushed into the Jim Blaine claim. The
drift is running next to the foot wall
of the vein and the width, as shown
by the last crosscut, was 16 feet, with
some values all through the ore. No
ASSAYS were made today, but the last
average assay of four feet across the
drift next the foot wall showed a lit
tie over $50 per ton.

An important strike was made the
other day in Deadwood camp near
Greenwood, on the Primrose, the south
