good concentrating ore have six inches
of clean steel galena exposed In the
face of their workings.
Another strike of ore Is reported
from the Noble Five, close to two rect
of mineral having been encountered IN
the No. 8 tunnel. In the other work
ings ore continues in place. Seventy
feet of stopping ground contains enough
ore to pay OFF the mortgage on the
group and all incidental expenses.
The shaft on the Brooklyn and Stem
winder, in Greenwood camp, is now
300 feet deep, and a double pumping
plant has been ordered. having ca

claims from c. A. Sanders, George
Wolf and J. Miller for 100000, S per
cent down. The properties are located
on Copper mountain, in the Simila'
kameen country, and are said to have
remarkable lodges of copper ore.
Good progress Is being made In the
shaft of the Umatilla at Rossland,
which is now down about so feet.
On the OShea, in camp Mckinney,
the shaft has reached solid quartz, and
four and half feet of high grade ore
are found in the bottom of the shaft.

made, and the shipments from the Slo

a week. 40
The SLOGAN Star will add so men to
its force just as soon as the water will
permit the concentrator to be operated
