According to the Republic Miner a strike
OF Importance has been made on the Wau-
conca group. on the OkAnogan road,
twelve miles west of Republic. This ia
welf-known property and has been under
development by a Seattle company Tor
some time. George Hedges is the mana
ger. and he arrived at Republic a few days
ago with some very pretty blue and white
quartz carrying scattering iron sulphideS
OF hne grained character ana OF an al
most copper color, Mr.. Hedges said the
new ore had been broken into the Satur-
day before and the men had gone into il

The showing Of quartz in the Wauconda
workings is immense, but the assays have
been low, up 10 last Saturday running
from 81 to s. and s.. The first work done
was to run I'm "A tunnel on the ledge This

was encountered.

Another cross-cut was then started
toward the hanging wall and this was run
65 feet up to last Saturday when change
appeared in the face. Manager Hedges
saw at once he had found something alto
gether different from what he had before
seen In the mine. He took the samples
already described and gave instructions to
continue the cToss-cut to the hanging
wall. He is hoping to find a large body OF
the high grade ore. It is almost certain
that tho strike will develop into one of
great value as the ore found Is probably
part OF a pay shoot on the hanging wall

means great deal for the whole Wau-
conda district which includes the Oronogo
group and the property of the Republic
Cold Mines and Lime Works Company.
There are several claims in the Wauconda
group. and the company has always had
great confidence in the property because
Of the magnificent surface showings. The
company IL composed entirely OF Seattle
people, and II they are successful It in
sures the investment OF a great deal more
OF Seattle money in this district. The
