the west end of the we'll known Jim
 Crow lode. They are now doing their
 location work, and with most satis-
 factory results. Their lead is from
 loo to 200 feet in width, and all assays
 taken from the surface average about E. in gold, S4 in silver and a small per cent in copper. They have five claims along the lead, which stands up from
 loo to POO feet above the surrounding country. < tunnel is now being run to cut the lead at a depth of l50 feet. The tunnel had been driven in 50 feet last week through the porphyry, and was just coming 10 the vein matter. Ii is proposed to cut across the lead and then drift each way for ore bodies. It Is the liveliest, prettiest quartz lead in the district It is a big proposition and will require big money to open it up, but if body of pay ore is en- countered it will doubtless be of suffi- cient magnitude to justify the expendi- ture of vast sum of money iu develop ment and equipment. They have al- ready uncovered vein of copper ore carrying both gold and silver on a spur of the main lead, upon which they propose to do a considerable amount of development work.
