CHLORIDE, A. T., Sept. 26.-Sincs
cooler days and nights began TO clear
the humid atmosphere OF the summers
heat, mining operations have been
brisk, and much new work has been
resumed on much or ell Of she old
work that had been partly suspended
during she hot season.
The 200 ton concentrator which was
consumed by the great conhsgration at
the Tennessee mine, ts now we'll under
wsy towards res'orarion and much OF
the machinery ILL its equipment has
already arrived, and by She time the
70 ing OF the mill building lie on, the
balance will be here and at once In
stalled In Its place for work. But lit
tie has been done on the mine since
fire DESTROYED the mill on the 10th OF
August. But, nevertheless, there were
a few miners kept on day shifts to CON
tirue development work in come OF the
lower levels, and some fne bodies OF
ore exist In those parts OF the mine.
The Juno mine has made the most
i'm portant strike of the season In the
opening up OF four foot body OF ore In
the northwest drift of the 400 level.
Unlike most of the ore that has been
coming out OF the Juno for the past
sever al months, IL carries high per-
centsges in gold and copper, and this,
added to the high silver value In the
new ore body, makes shipments by tie
carload OF great value. There are now
a few over twenty men at work In the
mine, but IL 10 possible the new strike
will cause the working force Increased
in every department.
The Lucky Boy mine, however, Is
the ain slayer of the camp and dis
trict In shipments of high grade silver
ores. Four carloads 60 from this mine
monthly with average values OF SloO
per ton in gold, silver and copper.
The Lucky Boy Ia working q larger
force Of men than any mine In Damp;
The ore Is of q mahogany color and
mahogany" It is called. and 1t has
been q producer of this grade snd
character of ore for about one year.
New strikes and discoveries Of rich
ore bodies also come from various
sources and mining districts In the
country, and among them one from
Mineral Park In which William aud
Greeley Clark have encountered Q two
foot body of ore In the shaft on their
Baden Baden mine that assays from
/ 900 70 500 ounces silver TO the ton.
IL Is said there has been nothing like
It since the discovery OF q similar body
of silver ore In the Occidental mine et
White Hills Q few weeks ago, So
rich is the Mineral Park
strike thst three eight honr ehifts of
miners have been put on and the rich
product. of the mine being taken out
with . rush.
The Cushing mine at Stockton Hill
continues to chip Its regular quota Of
high grade silver ores. and there seems
TO be no let up in the size OF its ore
BODY. Water has somewhat retarded
active development work In the mine
until recently, when the pumping ca
pacity was increased, and the mine md
ts many underground workings are
Iept in better condition.
In one month the Oro- Plata mine
"a the district by that name. has in
creased It's working force from thirty
i've to sixty men. The mine is q reg
ilar shipper of high grade gold ore,
and several hundred feet Of new work
Gas lately been let out by contract.
