Progress OF Development ON the Sill
yer Belt and Other Properties.


on the Silver Belt great deal of work
has been done, consisting principally of
shaft and a tunnel. On the larger string
er which traverses the claim a shaft has
been sunk hfty-fve feet in depth and
driven towards this shaft, with the dou-
tapping said shaft. was tunnel OF 200
feet This tunnel tapped the shaft at
distance of sixty feet. after which II was
continued on the main ledge. exposing a
clearly defined vein lying between walls
and slate The vein is heavily impregnat-
ed with galena, and IT is expected that
fifty or sixty feet more will bring the
drift directly under the big surface show
ing to the northeast of the shaft Nery
rich ore was encountered while sinking
tho shaft, samples from which ran from
$500 TO $500 to the ton.
The development work already done on
the Monitor and Mogul consists principally
OF some sixty-five feet of tunnel, the larg-
or or No. l being in some nifty feet, the
second about fifteen feet. The ore show
ings in the tunnels are particularly good.
At the surface OF the larger, or No. l
tunnel, the ore showings are but a few
inches wide but widen out at the cross
cut some thirty feet or 90 In, TO over three
feet In width. These tunnels will be con-
tinued as soon as men can he got to work,
the intention of the management being to
turn the property into a shipper as soon
as possible and every energy will be bent
In that direction.
The development work on the Mabel
group is being concentrated upon the Nir-
ginia. on the others very little work has
yet been done. The work on the Virginia
consists of thirty-foot incline shaft sunk

TEST Of THE MOUNTAIN LION.
Many Tons Of Low Grade Ore
Crushed for Cyanide Plant.
GOOD ESTIMATES FOR WEEK.
The Plates show an Average Per
Ton of Free Gold of S3, Which Is
About 10 Per Cent. of the values
in SolutiOn-Cost of Mining and
Milling the Ore Is About 80. Leav-
ing a Profit of Not Less Than $26.
GOOD ESTIMATES FOR WEEK.

The first real test of the values OF the
Mountain Lion ore was closed last week.
and the plates over which the pulp from
the cr-isher passes on its way TO the
cyanide plant were cleaned up. About
100 tons of the lowest grade ore went
through each day and. of course, the
plates caught only the free gold which
comprises small portion of the value of
the rock. The total value of the gold
on the plates for the week beginning April
q and closing May inclusive, is given by
the Colville Statesman-Index at s2,4eo. or.
about 50 per ton. This is less than 10 per
cent of the real values held in solution
in the cyanide watts. which will not be
cleaned up for a month yet.
1t is therefore, a safe estimate that
the ore run through the new mill for the
first week of its run will foot over $4,000.
At this rate the Mountain Lion mill. IL
II runs on the very poorest ore in the
property, will pay 81. 10000. But II is prob
able that three times this sum will be
taken out before the first of May next
year.
This is now the greatest property yet
opened up on the reservation, and IL
stands at the head of the list of great
mines capable of paying big dividends.
There Is more ore in sight I'm the Noun
tain Lion today than can be worked out
by the present plant in ten years, and 1t
Is only a matter of securing the funds
from the ore with which TO increase the
capacity of the mills. The cost of milling
the ore will be about 81 per ton. and of
mining possibly from 81 to 81 per ton. Ore
running $50 per ton. and this is good
average, would give a net profit of s26
per ton. If the present average of 100
tons of ore is treated each day, the net
profits would be & 600 per day, $4,000 per
month or 1896, 600 per annum.

The Republic Miner says H T.. Neville,

of fine quartz are quite numerous IN the

to lead to the ledge and are thought to
