This group consists of six claims ad-
joining the Valeo end lines on the
southwest, and is the property of a
company organized nearly one year

are SO laid out that its side lines butt
up against the Valeo's end lines, thus
giving the company 1900 feet of the
saleo vein- The company has done lots
or work during the past year, but il
was only few weeks ago that the
contact was caught so the worth of
the property is still to be DEMONSTRATED

200 feet of work has been done on the
claims A seventy-five-foot shaft was
sunk on the Orc Cache claim, while a
lVO-foot tunnel and a fifty-foot incline
was driven into the New Seal. The dis
lance between the two points at which
the work was done is over 1000 feet,
and all on the contact ledge running
through the ground. Manager White

Clarissa to be mine
THE SUPERIOR.
This property adjcins the Clarissa on
the west, and contains some twenty
patented claims. A year or so ago it
was leased and bonded 70 DR.. E. P. LIE
Compile and ether Pa kites for two
years. With the lease and bond as
basis. a company was formed and
work has been steadily progressing ever
since. Some time and money was lost
in running a tunnel in the wrong di-
rection to intercept the ledge. but now
the management has got its bearings,
the outlook is very promising. Three
men will be kept at work through the
winter, and the force will be materially
augmented in the spring Good values
in gold, copper. silver and lead have
been obtained in the Superior, and over
900 feet of work was performed during
the .rear.
