HOPE MINING COMPANY.
Under the personal direction of ]. G.
Sawyer, this old property has been
worked continuously since early in the
spring As the Lancaster. back in the
'10's, the ground is known to have
yielded $4,000 in extremely rich silver
and lead ores, all of which are said to
have been practically extracted from
the surface or shallow diggings, OBJ
tanned from three parallel veins. Sub
sequently this property was called the
Cleveland and finally was reorganized
and Incorporated as the Hope Mining
company. During the year the incline
shaft has been sunk to a depth of 3S5
feet. AT a depth OF 500 feet cross-cut
was run TO what is known as the mid
die vein, which, when encountered, dis
closed some galena ore and a remark
ably strong ledge. Work was pushed
on down with view of obtaining suf-
ficient depth to insure the junction of
all three veins. when a cross-cut may
again be deemed advisable and prudent
These three veins are known to be Dip
ping at different angles, indicating that
at greater depth they will unite at
which point the company reasonably
expects to disclose the existence of fine
ore bodies. Development work has
been prosecuted in a quiet, unassuming
but telling way, and people familiar
with the ground and surrounding con-
diticnS have much faith in the future
of the Hope

The ground, including three claims,
is popularity known as the Red Rose
the extent or area being embraced in
the Victory, Red Rose and Brazil
claims, each being 200x1, 500 feet on the
vein. Much of the work since the new

ting and drifting on the vein off the

handle three or four Burleign drills.
The surface improvements include a

latter being conducted on basis in
every way more acceptable to the men
than the average establishment of the

consists of thirty horsepower Hen

sixty horsepower economic boiler
The extent of the developments is as
follows: One drift of 125 feet, run west
erly on the vein on the $50 level, and
one of 400 feet in length driven on the
vein easterly on the 200 level, together
with winZe sunk on the 800, which
reveals some lead and silver values
Under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Joseph
Treloar, the company is working three
shifts with a force of eighteen men.
The Red Rose ground has, like many
of the properties surrounding 1T, been
productive of fine revenues, and local
opinions esteem the company's chances

that shipments of ore from the COM
pany's claims might be expected at any
time. The assurance was unwise and

the officers of the company, that such
