ralslns. The walls OF the formation
are OF rock closely resembling birdseye
maple. Lemro, the owner, has been
away several days. He says he has a
ton of the rock in his cabin. Men who
saw the first rock say the wheelbarrow
load from which the $4,000 was ex-
tracted contained about 100 pounds of
mineral, and one-third of the weight
was gold. The claim has not yet been
surveyed, and this fact has given rise
to hope in the minds of w. II. Young
and Mike Murray, who own adjoining
claims, that part of the rich ledge is on
their properties. There is little snow
III this section and the trails to Elk

REPUBLIC.


REPUBLIC.
The amount of development done on
the mines in January was somewhat
less than in December, which had the
lowest record for the year. There are
many reasons to assign for this. The
Republic mine has heretofore driven
several hundred feet of drift per
month. Now the mine is in such shape
that to take out the ore would be a
positive loss to the company as there
is no place to store it, and even if such
place were available it would not be
good business policy as the ore would
have to be rehandled at a cost of per-
haps 81 per ton. The same state of
affairs exists at the Mountain Lion.
Every pound of ore taken out at this
time would have to be dumped at a
point where it would have to be hauled
up steep hill to get it to the mill. For
| this reason no work has been done dur
ing the past month except in raising
a working shaft.
BY the beginning of March there will
be a considerable increase in the num-
Der of men employed in the mines, and
as a result there will be a marked in
erase in the number of feet of develop
ment. There is no doubt of this, as a
number of mines are now equipped
with machinery that will enable much
more development to be done than has
been possible in the past. Among those
| that will be thus equipped can be men
toned the Quilp and Chico Steam
plants have taken the place of horse
power on the Gopher and Tom Thumb
within the past few days. The Princess
Maud is equipped with machine drills,
and of course the development will be
rapid. 1t now seems probable that be-
| fore the close of summer there will be
more feet of development each month
than ever.
The development work on the Black
Tail mine during January was 20 feet.
Work on the San Poll is confined to
the north drift on the lower level. The
ore body is still about five feet in width
and is of high grade The development
for the past month consisted of 60 feet
OF drift.
Good progress is being made on the
Ben Hur drift. The north drift is now
carrying richer ore than the south
drift. The ledge is five feet in width.
The work is being done about $50 feet
below the surface.
About 80 feet of shaft was sunk on
the Tom Thumb last month. During
the same period 80 feet of drift was
run. The face of the drift is 140 feet
south of the shaft on the 150-foot level.
Drifting is progressing on the Re-
bate at the rate of about two feet per
day. There were 60 feet of drift run
during the month of January
The Gopher shaft was sunk 80 feet
in January. 1t is 1913 feet in depth. 1t
