day. On the portion of the Orizaba
No. l worked by Tillery and associates
under a lease, splendid body of ore
has been encountered at depth Of 100
feet. The drift is now being extended
on the chute, which is very rich In
sylvante. Assays on picked samples of
the rock have been obtained running
as high as 5000. Mr.. Tillery has re-
fused $4,000 spot cash for his lease,
which has about one year to run, and
royalties are being paid to the COM
pany running from 25 to 40 per cent.
Speaking of North Bingham the Bing-
ham Bulletin says: The veins uniform
ly have an east and west strike, with
dip of about 80 degrees north. They
run parallel with each other at aboue
400 feet apart, with singular regularity.
Commencing at Highland Boy, running
north, Is the Yampa, Honest Abe, May,
Republican, Parnell, Harrison, Leonard
and Minnie, York and Petro. Agnes,
Charles A. Dana, Diamond, North Dia-
mond and so on to the Nancy Hanks
and Vespasian-H oogley at the head of
Markham. But little development has
been done on most of these claims.
Owing to the slump in silver and lead
and encountering copper with depth,
nearly all of them were idle for num-
Der of years.
The Denver Mining Record says that
in running the seventh level on the
Zenobia at Cripple Creek in from the
ground of the Garfield Consolidated
company short time ago a 10-inch
streak of ore was encountered which
runs $1,000 to the ton. The find was
made at a point 40 feet in from the Gar
field line and has been drifted on II feet
The contract to sink the shaft to 425
feet is about completed, and in day
or two the company will complete the
work to Ats feet, where connection will
be made with the level where this rich
| find has been made
| The Detroit & Deadwood Mining COM
pany of Detroit has crosscut the ledge
| of ore in the City Creek copper prop
erty, in the city limits of Deadwood.
| and it Is found that there are 81 feet of
ore which will average IS a ton gold, 8
per cent copper and about $40 in nickel
The nickel properties in the mine will
form an important item in the working
of the mine. 1t is the first time that
nickel has been discovered in the Black
| Hills in paying quantities. The tunnel
on this property is now in about 425 feet
and the company feels satisfied that the
ore veins have only commenced to APP
pear and that the wide copper ledge will
be encountered when the tunnel reaches
depth of about 700 feet
The reported strike in the Kimberley
at Cripple Creek was verified by Cen
eral Manager Bentley last week, says
the Mining Investor. The find, which
Is a sensational one, was made in
winze just started from the north drift
on the Orizaba vein at the 2S0-foot
level. The rich streak is nearly six
inches in width and the ore will bring
the lessees anywhere from S. to $40 a
pound. Mlliken and Bownlee. the
lessees, will at once commence sinking
their shaft another so feet and then
crosscut to the vein, unless it is pre-
viously encountered in the shaft on its
dip. In the meantime the winze will
be continued downward on the ore.
There are from Is to 20 tons of average
grade ore in the bins and like amount
broken which will be sorted and shipped
in the fore part of next week.
