keted yesterday for $3.50. The ore will
run between five and six ounces on an

work Is also being pushed on the LOO

body Some ore has just been broken

The lower levels Of the mine are said
10 be looking better than ever The

thirty feet OF the 1000 level
Samples Of ore filled with free gold
were brought from the 1900 with some
fine looking specimens from the rich
strike on the 600 level which Is reported
to be- looking very good The ore body
has been stopped on for a distance OF rs
feet or three sets and at that height IL
Is about ten feet wide. The rich streak
OF horn silver Is being worked out with

II is probable therefore that IL will be

TEsoRA MILLING TESTS.
Final Assays on the Concentrates
Give Much Encouragement.

Final assays have been received on
the recent tests on eighty tons Of Te-
sora ore at the Dewey mill In Bingham,
which show the figures published In the
News" n few days ago TO be practic-
ally correct. The eighty tons. as is
known, was divided into two lots. upon
the latter Of which the best results
were obtained The first lost went four
into one while the latter test went
about three into one The heads OF the
first lot assayed 80 per cent copper
while the final tests on this lot showed
40 per cent copper, s.S ounces silver and
800 gold per ton The heads on the
second lot assayed 81 per cent copper
while the final assays showed 6.7 per
cent copper. ounces silver and $40
gold per ton. In the former there was
an iron excess OF % per cent while in
the latter test the excess was q per
cent
The saving In the second lot was bet
ter than In the hrat owing to the fact
that the screens were changed. The
saving In the first instance was 90 per
cent. while 70 per cent of the copper
values were saved in the latter As
soon ms the large shareholders arrive
attention will be given to a concentra-
ton plant. Mr. O. Il. Weller is expect
