tlon the secretary of war accepted the

The news is to the effect that, at
depth of 215 feet, they ran into rich
ore averaging 40 per cent copper, and
that with it is considerable native
copper. At the time the letter was
written the entire floor of the two
compartment shaft was all in this
character of ore, with the indica-
tons pointing to permanence though.
it is questionable if they find much
of the metallic copper This strike
puts the South Peacock alongside the
Blue Jacket as an extremely rich
property, and while there is doubt
less lower grade material associated,
the existence of permanent chutes of
so rich material has. a strengthening
tendency for the entire section. This
company will within the present
month begin the regular shipment of
hlghgrade ores to the refineries, and
later, when the railroad reaches the
Seven Devils, less valuable material
will be forwarded. This copper belt
is rapidly gaining foremost reputa-
ton throughout the country, and this
with justice, as, to take mines and
prosptc's altogether, the ore aver
ages above s per cent, with many
chutes equalling in richness the one
just found in the South Peacock. IL

TWO NEW SHIPPERS
A Couple of Seven Devils Active
Producers.
SOUTH PEACOCK 2I2 FEET DEEP
H. 0. Reed Likely to Recover In Mines
What He Lost In Blake's Railway

The Seven Devils district is com
ing to the front rapidly, with now
two new shippers, the South Pea
cock and the Silver Plate, on the list,
and yet another, the River Queen, in
sight. AT the Silver Plate mine they
are putting up 1900 sacks of ore for
shipment to Denver, where such test
will be made as to absolutely deter
mine the value of the ore and its
proper treatment. Considerable de-
velopment has been done on this
property, which is owned by Colfax,
Wash people; and it is particularly
noticeable because of the Aatterinp
results of limited period of devel
ment Mr., Nj. 0. Reed. the com
panys representative, was here re-
Gently and had This to say regarding
the property which they are deter
mined to make a shipper early this
season: "Since last fall we have
had a large force of men at work de
veloplng the property, with such re-
suits that we now think we are iusti-
lied in making preparations for ship
ping, for if smelter test gives us
anywhere near the same returns the
assayers do, then we have a SHIPPING
proposition today. The last ASSAYS
gave us returns of 1902 per ton, this
comprised of II per cent copper. IS
gold, with the balance silver; indeed
some of it runs 297 ounces silver in
picked samples of course. The paw
streak in the Silver Plate is along the
hanging wall, though on the footwall
we lind a 22-inch streak averaging
$97 per ton, There is, just below
the present opening, cropping of
red oxide of copper, running above
81 per cent; but this has not been
prospected, nor will it be till the lar
ger bodies are developed We are
now down about 20 feet, with a cross
cut of about the same length, and
this development shows an uniform
ore body, with both walls clearly de-
lined. We have lime and porphy-
ry contact, and in this the gangue is
so well mineralized as to give us
practically no dead work. The ledoe
is 10 feet in width Owing to the
increased amount of water comino
into the shaft we have found if nee
essary to put in a pump and steam
hoist both to be installed within 20
days, and then we will work three
eight hour shifts. We have had
several offers to sell, but have NOT
gwen the matter much consideration
1t is more than possible that we will |
commence making shipments early in
the summer.
