Grand Central Examination.


The Grand Central has been invaded
by a perfect army of experts, who are
sampling and measur ing the rich slopes
on every level of the mine. They Will
take probably 1000 samples, and ON the
result of their labOrs probably rests the
fate of the deal whereby the property
is to be transferred to the Bingham
Copper q Gold Mining company. The
party is headed by Duncan McNichie
and r. 6. Gemmel. who are ably assist
ed by Mr.. McCrea and F. b. Cook and
Surveyors G. p. Brooks and V p.
Strange. In the adjoining property the
Mammoth, J. w. Neih is engaged on
the same errand, and there is little
doubt that both these splendid prop
critics win eventually be under one
management. which will be a happy
solution OF the legal controversy in
which they are entangied.
sioux-Ajax T4isnel.
There is q prospect of active work be-
ing resumed in the mammoth Sioux
Ajax tunnel in the very near future.
The company has several very prom
1S1ng properties. which are pierced by
the big avenue they have driven
through the limestone Cor almost a mile
and holds others under lease and bond,
and considerable prospecting is to be
done With ore at both ends of the
tunnel. it seems quite fair 10 presume
that there is more in the big lime
stone mountain through which it runs.
Yankee Consolidated.
The presence of a considerable guam
THY of iron spar in the upraise in TIE
Yankee Consolidated yesterday led to
the report that the ore had beer
reached The report was little pre-
mature. though there is no doubt ex-
pressed by people familiar with GOdiVa
hill that the ore is close by. The man
agement contends that reaching the ore
in this upraise esta blishes their con-
tention as to apex rights. but ii is not
believed here that any trouble viii en-
sue between the Yankee and it's neigh
bOrs- The Yankee and May Day be
long oE- nature together. and it would
please many of the shareholders in
both properties 10 see them united.
From Mammoth comes the report
that q property OF some prominence in
the neighborhood of the Star Consci-
idated. presumably the Boss Tweed. is
being sought by eastern investors.
There is no doubt that the Boss Tweed
and the Red Rose contain the Carissa
vein, which seems at that point to be
split in two. The successful develop
ment of the Cafissa, which has made
n splendid record under Superintendent
Underwood, has stimulated activity,
and the Boss Tweed has started shaft
as close as possible to the south end
lines of the Carissa. with the expecta-
ton OF tapping the rich chute from
which MessTs. Carey and Smith have
been shipping a very good grace of
gosd-coppeT ore.
The big Bennett group. three miles
north of Eureka, comprising several
hundred acres OF very promising
ground. is to be prospected on a broad
scale this summer. the work to COM
mence as soon as the roads are pass
able. not later than April Is. Some
prominent eastern investors have pUr-
chased a big block of treasury stock,
which insures the company a hand

work

day 10 meet the foreman OF the Orient
and arrange for a resumption of work.
which is TO be prosecuted without inter
i.uption until the mine is able 20 enter
the list of bread-wirners.
G. s. Davis spent the week in the
district, examining some mining prop
