10O is gradually getting to the west
of them.
Although operations continue at the
South Sunbeam as well as can be ex-
pected under all difficulties, Manager
Moeller is practically at a stand still
go far as making any tangible showing.
The new hoist is expected most any
time and is anxiously looked for.
Manager George w. Silks of the Ajax
Mammoth Extension, reports extremely
gratifying conditions in his property at
the $50 mark. He says that the con-
glomeration of iron, spar, lime and
porphyry has given way to a most
pleasing quartz, just the kind one may
expect to find mineral in. He asserts
most positively that if what he is
searching for is in the hill he'll get it,
and people hereabouts believe him.

George S. Hayes of Silver, just in
from the Columbia district, reports a
very favorable and pleasing condition
of affairs at the New Erie group. He
said that force of men are employed
in extracting and sacking ore to be
shipped before snow flies and that they
will send in considerable more than one
carload when they start to market.
Lumber and supplies have been going
to the company's property this week.
Mr.. Hayes also informed the writer
that T. R. Jones had purchased big
block of the New Erie treasury stock.

Some surprise has been manifested
that the Midnight Bowers mine has not
encountered their vein off of the $50
cross-cut and it would seem that either
a poor piece of calculation has been
made or that the ledge has been ma
terially DETECTED in its course. There
are no surface indications of volcanic
eruption forces having altered or fault
ed the vein.
Some very beautiful and rich speci-
mems of ore have been obtained re.
Gently from the Eagle & Blue Bell. 1t
is of a dry brown quartz distinctly re-
vealing many particles of gold easily
visible to the eye. The last car of ore
sent to the Salt Lake market this week
is expected to net the mine extremely
handsome returns.
Fully two cars of a very fine first
grade ore are on the platform of the
Showers Consolidated ready for the
market, but no action seems to be
taken in the matter. Why is it that
companies capable of putting out good
mineral, will not do it?

It is reported, and the report was
verified by the writer, that Manager
Woodward of the Bowers Extension,
had succeeded in purchasing and con-
trolling the majority of the Blue Bird
Extension stock, and would very soon
reopen the mine and work it. Mr..
Woodward has always manifested the
utmost confidence and faith in the Blue
Bird Extension and now that the New
Klondike folks have gone about devel-
oping their ground-on the same vein
and only stones throw from the Blue
Bird Extension-Mr. Woodward is re-
solved to be in line.
The country east of the Godiva and
around the Lily is receiving more than
passing attention at present. A num-
Der of parties coming into the district
this week have gone direct to that To-
cality. Messrs. Hindmarsh, Barlow
and others associated in the Lily seem
to have big bonanza in the immense
lead producer with the metal at $40
per 100 pounds.
Messrs. Dewitt and Lowry are again
working the Sundry Fraction adjoining
the Rabbits Foot and northwest of the
Clarissa, and lifting some oxide of cop
per ores. Last spring these gentlemen
made a carload shipment from the Sum
day which netted them very handsome
profits.
