a certain number of yards apart along
the course The horseback riders or
knights are furnished with long spears
and ride at full speed and endeavor to

Since then II has sent out nine cars
OF similar ore and decided improvement
has been made In the condition OF the
mine under the direction OF Super N
tendent David Mandolin. A flve-car lot
Of ore was loaded when the writer VS.
tied the mine on November 10Th. The
ore averages about 40 per cent copper,
but the superintendent stated that the
last shipment carries, in addition, about
SIS gold per ton, which Is somewhat
higher than the first lot, With this
shipment nearly 500 tons Of ore has
been marketed since August Mr..
Maudlin says that he will market at
least ten more cars before Christmas,
which viii raise the output for the
last six months to about 750 tons, the
value OF which is approximately S6,-
900.
The mine Is being developed by an

now down 400 feet and drifts have been

large kidneys and wide streaks Of
solid chalcopyrite containing about 81
per cent copper The occurrence OF
the wide streaks Of pyrltes Of copper Is
less pronounced IN the drifts on the 300
level. but fine quality of milling ore
Is exposed everywhere. which runs
about 8 per cent on an average. About
300 feet Of drifting has been done on
the 200 level and the vein has been
found TO be 65 TO 60 feet wide. About
200 feet of drifting has been done on
the strike Of the vein on the 900 level
The vein appears TO be wider there as
the crosscut has been run 1876 feet and
the other wall has apparently not been
reached. This crosscut shows a fine
quality OF milling ore ALE the above
distance but the rich streaks and kid
neys occur less frequently apparent
ly from which II Is inferred that
while the vein Is much wider between
walls on the 300 the ore Is somewhat
higher grade on the 100 and 200 levels.
Mr.. Turner Is In charge at the mine
