This property adjoins the Crescent on

a first class hoist and pumping plant

The Quincy.
For the past sixteen months the
Quincy Mining company, which is oper-
ating h old Putnam o adjoining
the Daly-West on the southeast, has
beer ~expending about $4,000 per month
in sinking and prospecting the vein
which ~traverses the ground. The shaft
is now down more than 600 feet and
Manager Mclaughlin says it will still
continue to go down. More or less ore
has been encountered at different
points in the ledge and the first ship

The management is not inclined to go
into detail regarding the showing
which developments are making. but
confidence is expressed in the state
ment that Notwithstanding some $50, 000
has already been expended no thought
Of giving UP is entertained
The Crescent Hill.
Something yer d year ago a large
tract of minera land on Crescent hall
and adjoining the old Crescent and
Apex mines was Incorporated, and for
a time it looked as though a lively cam
paign would be inaugurated early in
the rear, but indications did not count
and the company has lone absolutely
nothing to date. Two months or more
ago the cOnIfOi OF the $ ShareS
was bought up by H. @. Mcmillan and.
unless signs and indications go awry
again, about the next thing to develop
will be the news that the has
been absorbed by the Silver King.
The Apex.
h property was operated under
lease by Fred FIindt and G. D. Rock
lidge for a ear. up to June or July
last, when it reverted back to the own
er. NJ. G. Fox of this city. Since then
nothing has been lone in the mine,
which Mr.. FIindt reported to be open
ing up nicely when he was compelled
to quit work.
The Silver Key.
This property has been worked by
parties who have held it under lease
and bond for the past ear or more.

to be valuable ground, but what devel-

Tag o. its ores before very long. This
belief is the fruit OF various tests which
have Keen made on the ores during the
past siH months.
Consolidation Planned.
No results are given out as 70 the
latest tests of 600 pounds of ore al the
Rutter's laboratory IN Salt Lake. but
they ase said to lave been thoroughly
satisfactory. J. q Jacobs, who has
chaf5e of these tests has been entrust-
ed with the management of negotia-
tons looking to the consolidation of
The EGisy, La Cisale, Omaha, HelVetia
and Kismet. 1t Is hoped that such a
combination would result in making all
the mines pay Dy treating low grade
ores in large quantities at little expense
in one mill.
1t is possible shat the consolidation
viii be effected some time this year,
but the negotiations thus far have been
Ineffective. IN tire meanwhile. work
at the Daisy will continue and 1t is
thought that the results will be fully
up TO the most sanguine expectations.
The shaft is now down 500 feet and
drifts have been started at stations 100
feet apart. On the 200 and 300 levels
the drifts south extend 945 and $40 feet
respectively While he north drifts on
the same level extend over 500 feet
each. 1t has been aScertained from
these drifts that the vein IS over TWEEN
ty-dve feet wild Not much work has
been done below the 300-leveI.
Thoroughly modern equipment has
been installed in the mill. Now, when
the proper method Of treating the ores
has been ascertained by experiment and
otherwise, the Daisy may come to the
front with rapid strides.
At none of the other West Dip prop
critics is any work being done just now
but fresh campaigns may be Inaugural
ted in the spring when the winter
SHOWS begin to disappear. Many miners
have confidence in the section and are
willing to put money and time into it.
Geyser Marion Difficulties.
The Geyser Marion. which has paid

to shut down about the middle of Au-
gust. A scent assessment had been
previously levied, but this was INSULT
cfent TO keep the mine in operation. Up
to the shutdown, $4,000 of cyanide
product had been marketed, but the
mine was $4,000 in debt.
Mccormick & Co, bought the property
under a Judgment for $13, 2S8.6l on No
