has been sunk ard station cut for the
large Snow pump lately purchased and
being put in. This stump shows twelve
feet between walls. of which five feet
is fine shipping ore, carrying % to 80
per cent lead; two feet is milling and
five feet gangue. From the incline
south on the $50 drift shows this ore
to prevail. A drift started northward
toward the Antelope mine. and with
which it will ultimately connect, is
giving uD full width of ore, carrying
5 to per cent copper and high precious
metal values. Also in the $50 level
there is a splendid showing of high
grade copper, while in the Dalton vein
the ore chute from which two years
ago 100 tons Of lead ore was daily being
shipped. has been tapped by a cross
cut 10 feet deeper, and 1t will here no
doubt greatly exceed it's former record.
The New York outfit was in the edge
of these large ore areas. and within
week after Manager Schenck resumed
work they began to show. An appli-
cation was then made to reopen the
old option, but the price had advanced.
The property is now shipping twenty
five to thirty tons daily and will in
short time no doubt exceed all it's for
mer records and have a fund with
which to put in a mating plant for
Iow-grade ores, of which large areas
are proved up.
ANTELOPE GROUP.
The Antelope group of four claims.
adjoining the Dalton & Lark on the
north and showing the same veins.
should be mentioned in connection with
the latter, as the properties are to be
connected at each level and will utilize
the same pumping facilities. Manager
Farnsworth of the Antelope is entering
upon extensive development work,
having put in heavy hosting machin-
cry, and will sink the incline as speed
lily as possible to the Dalton & Lark
lower level The Antelope carries high
er copper values than its neighbor, and
il seems to be a popularity of the Lark
vein thai its copper content increases
as it is explored to the north
RED WING.
Among the properties that have
passed beyond the stage of mere prom
Use the Red Wing should be named as
among the best. 1t is demonstrating,
in a way that is highly satisfactory to
the company, furnishing a daily out
put of seventy tons of ore TO the con-
centrator run in connection, and mar
keting the product at good profit.
The Red Wing improvements are
nearly all tunnel work. there being
ABOUT SUI lCcl VI Olc CApOoCt,
and a depth of 300 feet on the dip of the
vein has been reached. Ore is now
coming from the Jumbo stope. which
takes the whole vein and is sixty feet
wide at breast, fifty high and 80 long,
while $50 feet ahead a drift exposes the
same ore. Neither wall has been ex-
posed. so the real width of the vein
has not been determined. This stope is
generally a good milling proposition and
shows something of the makeup and
general reliability of the vein. There
will be no trouble to keep ahead of the
mill at present rate of treatment for
an indefinite period. and as there is a
nice margin now coming in over ex-
penses the company should soon have
money in it's treasury for dividends
The Red Wing group consists OF ten
claims, some of which were recently
purchased, and on which payments are
being made as they fall due. A new
tunnel lower down the mountain is to
be started soon to tap the ore at a
lower depth.
FORTUNE.
The Fortune Mining company will
soon be a counterpart of the Red Wing
in the matter of milling its own ore, the
being ready for a sixty-ton
on the dump, to be built
and running within sixty days. This
group consists of twenty-one claims.
and Manager Elmer Hill estimates that
there are 10, 900 tons Of milling ore on
the dunn and enough practicable in
