STRIKE IN THE
SOUTH SWANSEA
A Body Of Fine Ore Exposed on the
700 Level,
MAMMOTH REPORT HAS GONE
synopsis Photographed TO New YORK
To-day The Tiewaukoe strike
Yankee COn, Ore.

An important strike has been made
at the South Swansea, though the man-
agement kept It quiet until It was
proven to be worth talking about. The
new find was made a few days ago in
the drift which is being run north from
the ZOO level Of the new shaft to con-
meet with the old workings. The drift
is on the east wall Of the vein and for
the past thirty-fve feet or more, has
been run through a body Of fine ore
between three and four feet wide In
dicatlons point to greater Improvement
on the 500 level, as the new ore chute
appears to widen at the bottom Of the
drift. 1t IS not improbable that the ore
will extend Tor some distance further
north from the new shaft. The man
agement has about 35 feet 10 60 before
connections will be made with the south
drift from the old shaft. This drift
was run west Of the drift from the new
shaft, in barren ground. II is quite
probable. therefore, that the ore chute
will be found paralleliig the old drift
further to the east, and that the present
ore body will continue a considerable
distance towards the old shaft. The
new find gives the company 100 feet OF
good stopping ground and puts few
dividends in sight Manager Wheeler
says il proves that the biggest part Of
the mine Is beneath the 700 level and as
soon as the new machinery Is In place,
the company viii resume sinking. About
forty gallons Is being pumped per min
ute. The showing is also said to be
very good on the 100 level south Of the
new shaft
