The Tom Thumb is another demonstra-
ton of the oft asserted fact that deep
mining is necessary in Republic. More
and more as the camp develops, its sim
ilarity to the famous Cripple Creek camp
is shown. Republic is a telluride camp.
Telluride ores lie deep. To get the values
something more than surface prospecting
is necessary and, furthermore, surface
work of disappointing character is not
an indication Of lack of value. The
Princess Maud workings even at go feet
depth SKINNED over the top of the rich
ore bodies. Tom Thumb values came to
the surface richly only in one spot. 1t
required depth and sensible mining to
prove II mine.
Capitalized for Seven Millions.
