The result of this weeks develop

ceeded expectations. The editor OF
the NEWS went through the UNDER
ground workings yesterday, and In

also In the cr0sscut to the north, ore
bodies identical with the rich copper
glance found in the New York and
Nevada Copper company's mine at
Copper Flat, we're being opened up.
Sulphides, of course, had been present
for several days. and these were cer-
tainly encouraging enough. The rapid
change to glance, however. while not
expected, Is but another proof OF the
merit OF this mine, which long before
Its acquisition by the present company
was regarded as the cream OF this dis
trict.
Drifting to the east on the came level
is also In progress and the formation,
while not yet showing ore values. is
most encouraging, and 1t is only ques-
tion OF Q short time when the rich gold
ore lodges showing on the surface will
be cut.
Manager McGill has also commenced
the sinking of q winzc on the gold ledge
cut on the 20o.level, and, taken as q
whole, the showing being made in this
property could not well be better. The
mine is being opened up scientifically
and systematically, and. as a result, the

A. d. Campton is now putting In
