by means of cross-cuts and wines, ex-

south of the line of the Indian claim.
From time to time, the values in the
quartz have improved. The same per-

ways characterized the management is
being carried on.

Both of these groups are practically

shippers of very rich lead and silver
ores in the past and at one tine were
regarded as the leading properties in
the porphyry district. The Elmer Roy

consists of a splendid perpendicular
shaft sunk to a depth Of 300 feet, crem
which cross-cuts have been run to the
vein, besides a drift run northward on
the 200 level connecting with the old
shaft on the hill. The vein at the
depth of 200 feet disclosed very favor
able conditions, the ledge being fully
thirty feet in width, composed almost
entirely of a body of silver, copper and
lead character, low in values. Natur-
ally the company expects a vast i'm
provement on the 300
The Silver Park, formerly worked
through tunnel developments and
Wine, made its maiden shipment of ore
in October under the new ownership.
AT the $50 level a cross-cut was driven
southwesterly TO the ledge and a north
drift run on the vein. a shipment OF
silver-lead ore was made. AT present
a Wine in ore Is being sunk from this
level to connect with the $50. The in
cline shaft is down ninety feet and the
vein matter is lifted by means of
donkey engine. The ore house contains
another shipment of first-class mineral
and dump containing upwards of 300
tons of concentrating ore has been
made with view of utilizing it through
jigs. Both the Silver Park and Elmer
Roy shafts will be sunk to any depth
necessary for the complete development
and exploration of the company's
ground. The resident superintendent.
a. L. Towle, is a courteous gentleman,
besides being a competent and con-
Scientious workman. The work done
and being done on both properties will
unquestionably give substantial re-
suits this year.
SUNDAY FRACTION.
This is a small but apparently very
valuable piece of ground, lying between
the Rabbits Foot and Little Clarissa
groups, just outside of Silver City. The
owners, Messrs. Dewitt and Lowry,
have worked their claim pretty much
all year. Early in the year they mar
keted a small carload of excellent
in another shipment, which is known
TO have netted them remarkably rich
values Ore is being extracted at pres
ent from the vein at q depth of $50
feet. A new shaft house has just been
built.
BLUE BIRD.
The old shaft was Strengthened and
retimbered early in the spring, and be-
fore the middle of summer one of the
largest, best appointed and most con-
veniently arranged shaft houses in the
district was built and powerful hoist
and pumping plant added. Under the
personal guidance of ]. II. Bone, an ex-
perienced miner, work has been carried
on all year. Some drifting was done
on the ledge, with the result of finding
some ore similar to that found by leas-
ers who formerly worked the surface
ground. Mesers. Hatfield, Ritter and
Loose are the controlling people in the
Blue Bird.
FREMONT MINING COMPANY.
This company owns four full claims
and a fraction adjoining the townsite
of Diamond on the southeast, midway
between the Buckeye and New Klon-
dixie groups A well-timbered shaft
was commenced early in the spring and
was sunk to the 200. A good-siz shaft
building was erected and a gasoline
hoisting plant installed. During the
time that the Buckeye and Klondike
properties were closed the flow of wa
ter became too great for the Fremont
people to handle, and work was sus-
pended.
The promoters of the enterprise
maintain that the Estella, Joe Bowers
and Buckeye veins traverse their pos
sessions. Preparations are being made
10 commence work on the property
again.
DIAMOND CONSOLIDATED.
The natural location of this group
Gus to the claims warrant the expendi-
ture Of anybody's money in develop
ment work. The property lies south
west of the Morning Glory, west of
the Homestake and is conceded TO be
continuation of the Julian Lane vein,
a one-time producer of good ore Work
has been carried on all year The shaft
was sunk under contract to the 200 lev
el, and a prospect cross-cut run to the
vein, which contained some very good
silver and copper values. Later a
steam hoist was substituted in place of
the whim and work was continued in
sinking The Diamond Consolidated
will undoubtedly show some substan-
tial results before the present year is
out.
THE BOSS TWEED.
More or less associated with the Star
Consolidated. this promising ground
has been subject TO the unsettled con-
ditions surrounding the peculiar situa-
ton Almost the entire year, or since
the time the present control assumed
charge. has been consumed in putting
the workings in suitable shape to pur-
sue any kind of intelligent labors. Since
then the long delayed arrival of the
steam hoist and machinery plant has
added TO the annoying circumstances. |
