MINES AND MINING NEWS
OUR NORTHWESTERN MINES.
tens Cleaned From the Late Reports
All Districts Are Being Devoloped-A
Prosperous Year LIS Notwithstanding
Notes and Personals.

The Anaconda Mining Company has
commenced suit against f. Augustus
Heinze to recover Seven-twelfths in
terest in all the ores extracted from the
Parnell lode claim and to compel the de-
| PENDANT to permit the company 80 en-
ter into Joint possession and occupancy

Republic Camp.
The shaft on the Bodie is 275 feet
in depth.
The Gopher shaft is nearly 235 feet
in depth.
The Chico shaft has reached a depth
of $50 feet.
Good progress is being made on the
Hill Side tunnel.
The Liberty is about to resume under
new management.
A Wine has been started in the tun-
mel of the Stray Horse.
The Surprise continues to show rich
ore on the face of the drift.
The Star winze is about % feet deep
The ledge is somewhat broken up.
The ore chute on the San Poll has
not diminished in size or value as
drifting proceeds.
Good progress is being made in put
ting the Princess Maud in shape to re-
ceive the compressor plant.
An uncOnfrmed report is circulated
that work will shortly be resumed on
the Mountain Lion on the south.
| Reports from the Chespa-Blue Jay
are quite encouraging. There is said
to be four feet Of good ore in the east
drift.
| Superintendent Hall Of the Morn
! ing Glory states that the mine is look
! ing well and continues to show its won
derful values.
| Some high assays are being made
from Blacktail ore and these are fav-
orable indications of the richness and
value of the property.
The Wine on the Flag Hill is about
80 feet deep upon a vein which shows
three feet of ore which will average $40.
1t is a favorable showing and the work
is being well done.
A 10-foot breast Is being carried in
the drifts at the 600-foot level of the
Republic. The entire face of each of
the drifts both north and south of the
tunnel, will assay about 5000 per ton.
The hoist for the Butte & Boston is
on the ground and will be ready for
use in a few days. 1t will be used on
the old shaft which will be sunk to a
depth of several hundred feet before
any other work is done on the mine.
The Jim Blaine holds it's own but
does not improve in the drift. 1t is the
opinion of many that Wine sunk
from this level on the Jim Blaine would
encounter the big Republic ore chute
at the 600 level or sooner.
Small pieces of petite picked from
the streaks which seam the Republic
ore in the lowest levels and it assayed
the staggering sum of $19,94660, al
most $40 per pound. There is but a
small quantity of such ore as this, but
it helps bring the averages up to very
high figures. This precious stuff is
carefully taken down and as carefully
sacked and stored in the mine. A few

ore continues as rich as it now is.
The Miners Nightmare.
Jim Blaine and Tom Thumb gave a
Trade Dollar
For Stray Horse, and went up to see
Princess Maud
OF Butte & Boston. When they
reached the Summit
They were surprised TO see an Insur-
gent
Running from the Mountain Lion with
Black Tail.
To gain his Liberty, he shinnied up the
Lone Pine.
They ran down the San Poll without
Looking Backward,
Where they met Kate Hayward, who
gave them $4,000 for the Golden
Goose.
When she found she didn't have a
Golden Harvest
She kicked like the devil for Rebate.
