have secured and are making ready to
resume work in the old Brooklyn,
whose production record reaches sew
eral millions, and as soon as required
will extend the electric road two miles
further around to that property. they
have newly equipped the machine shop
of the Dalton & Lark plant; in fact,
they are reaching out in every direc-
ton. securing some Of the best prop
erty in the district, and making of il
a compact body, well adapted for the
most extensive mining operations. In
the Brooklyn they are on the great
main vein, or mother lode, the same as
the Old Jordan and the Old Telegraph;
in the Lead Mine and Yosemite No. ?
they are on the same vein as the Com
meTCiaI, the next parallel vein to the
one first mentioned; in the Dalton &
Lark they have still another vein fur
Their west and parallel with the others.
Every step in their opera tons indi-
Gates a clear appreciation of their OPP
pOrtunities and a resOlute purpose to
improve them.
The Mystic Shrine.
The property of the Mystic Shrine
company includes eight claims, with an
area of about 1877 acres. These are the
Navajo, Mary Lillian, Emma, Reddy,
Magdalena. Robert and Tin Horn. and
the last has been purchased and added
to the property within the last year.
The property is surrounded by pro-
ducing mines and controls three dis
tinct contact veins These, as in
other parts of the district, are crossed
by assures and are mineralized to quite
as high grade as any of those sur
i'm no a in
has the largest amount of development
work already done upon it. Ore is
exposed in a number of places, and the
tunnel on the vein is being driven
steadily forward. A good grade of ore
has been shipped from the property.
although the work hos been confined
almost wholly to development.
The developments on both the Nav
ajO and Tin Horn veins consist of
crOssCUts, drifts, inclines, upraises,
wines, etc, to a length of about 1,750
feet. The tunnels which enter from
the level of the Markham gulch will
develop this vein to a depth of 500 feet
below the surface, affOrding, also, per
feet drainage for the mine. The upper
Navajo tunnel of a total length of
nearly $50 feet, is driven on the west
vein along its course. From this a
lance, and at seventy-five feet from
the mouth of the tunnel a CTOsscut has
been run for a distance of about 100
feet to connect the upper tunnel with
the Tin Horn incline. The further de-
velOpment from this tunnel includes
about 165 feet of drifts and upraises.
Tunnel No. has been run about 125
feet on the middle contact vein. and
two wines. one fifty feet and one
about twenty-five feet, have been sunk
from this tunnel toward the lower Nav
ajo tunnel. Tunnel No. 4 has been de-
velOped about 100 feet along the course
of the vein. Tunnel No. has been run
about seventy-five feet, including a
( twenty-five foot crosscut. Tunnel No.
6 has a total length of nearly fifty
feet, and tunnel No. of sixty feet. The
ore encountered in the lower Navajo
tunnel and the upraise from it, is
pyritic ore carrying gold, silver. and a
high percentage of iron, with consider
able sulphur and some silica. That
near the breast of the tunnel carries
golO, silver, lead and iron, with very
little sulphur and almost no silica.
In the upper Navajo tunnel is found
lead carbonate, carrying gold and sill
