well as at its breast.
The tunnel is reaching for the great
Lombard which it will encounter at a
depth of 1000 feet and unquestionably
will open up even a more wonderful
body of ore than it has credit for being.
In the meantime, in reaching the LON
bard it will encounter thirty veins
and some of these are seventy-fiye feet
in width. Who knows but what half
of the number will prove even better
than the great Lombard? The history
of the Yankee Hill camp goes to prove
that seventy-five per cent. of the veins
upon which depth has been attained
have produced remarkably rich pro-
ducers of ore. This really means that
the per cent. of successful mining en-
terprises in the Yankee Hill camp are
fully sevently-five per cent. to the good.
There is a question as to whether any
other camp in the entire state of gold
and silver can produce a better record
than this. When it is taken into con-
sideration that this company has thir-
ty-siX veins, plainly marked and de-
fined on the surface, to cross in reach
ing its rich objective point, for the
present at least, it is not difficult to
understand why Mr.. Seemann can
practically command all the capital
necessary to run his property with lit
tie or no effort. Merit will show in
any place and in this case the merit
''outcrops on the surface" to use an eX-
preston familiar to the world of min
ing. After the Lombard is reached
there is still rich territory beyond for
the proposition.
1t must be borne in mind that all the
propositions owned by the company are
practically in contact with porphyry.
Mr.. Seemann is lover of porphyry,
the mother of gold" and is firm in the
faith that the various contacts with the
mineral is certain to produce wonder
full results with depth. Work on the
Manhattan will be pushed right along
and good news from the camp in the
way of good big strike of rich ore
can be expected any day. Gold Mount
ain and Iron Clad hill are literally alive
with rich deposits of ore and by cut
ting through these properties with the
great tunnel propositions it would be
foolish to talk of missing veins running
almost at right angles and so plainly
marked that they can be traced down
the mountain sides by the naked eye
when you are fully a half mile from |
them. With 600 acres of property of |
this character it is not difficult to de-
termine the fact that within the next |
year or two the company will become
one of the most prominent of the many
large companies, not only in the uIs-
trict but in the state.
The Faust shaft is another PROPOSE |
ton of interest to mining men. 1t is
one of the prettiest and most substan-
tial surface structures in Yankee and
the picture gives a good idea of its ap-
pearance After the tunnel passes the
Lombard it will encounter this rich
Faust group. At the present time the
shaft is down 200 feet and ore running
as high as S465 to the ton has been
taken from the property. Another 100
feet will be sunk in the shaft before
the levels are run and then the prop
erty ought to be well opened up. As

is the same as the great belt which
shows that its location is in another
sense exceptionally valuable. As an
illustration of the wonderful strength
of the property, it is only necessary to
state that the ore body in the Lombard
is in some places twelve feet in width
and that this body carries remarkably
rich ore. In this great body the smelt-
ing streak will run from a one-foot
mean measurement to a siX-fOot eX-
treme.
A five-ton stamp mill is working day
and night on the big proposition and it
is doing excellent work and bringing
forth the gold and silver as regularly
as the ore is run through the mill. At
the present time we understand that
Mr.. Seemann has many improvements

]. ]. Hoban, the well-known mining
man, visited the camp last week to in
spect several properties there and here
is what he says concerning the place:
Il was most agreeably surprised with
the camp Had anyone told me that it
possessed such wonderful ore bodies
containing such generous values, I
would not have believed it. The veins
are in every sense true fissures and
show plainly on the surface, so far as
the principal ones are concerned. 1t
is a district that will stand a great
deal of development yet, but with de
velopment, will become productive. The
ores are not all of a low grade, as
saw veins in the camp from two to
four feet in width that contained i'm
mensely rich values"
The district needs new mills of mod
eln pattern. 1t needs more capital for
development. 1t needs more advertis-
ing. There is no reason why its won
deful prospects for the future should
be kept from the world. With the adj
vent of more capital will come one of
the greatest eras of development
known in the county. Hundreds of
miners will reap fortunes from the
golden veins of Yankee Hill As a
done so and the work so far has been
little more than scratching One
fourth the territory of the district is
virgin ground and that means a great
deal. So far as the machinery on the
ground is concerned it is modern and
up-to-date. The excellent condition of
the plants is one of the surprises to the
visitor to the camp.
Scattered as they are among the
hills, one would hardly believe that 200
men were employed in the camp and a
great majority of these with families.
They represent the best class of peo-
pie in the world and the camp is in
every sense a model so far as morals
are concerned.
Last year it is estimated that the
production was better than 100000
net and it was purely year of devel-
opment. During the coming year, and
the present one, so far as that is con-
celned, the production will reach even
better figures.

The introduction of new methods in
mining, the expenditure of thousands
|of dollars, the employment of a large
|number of toilers and all these bless
|ings to the mining world are not inno-
|vations that can be put in without
trouble, hardship, expense, and, in
many instances, unpleasant exper-
Fences.
Henry l. Seemann of the Yankee Con
|solidated Mining, Milling and Tunnel
ling Company can probably come as
|near bearing witness to this statement
|as any man in the county to-day. He
has worked and toiled almost night and
Iday to make his great proposition at
Yankee Hill one that would mean
something not only to his company,
| but to Yankee Hill and to the county
Iand state. He has succeeded admira
Ibly During the past six or seven
years the Yankee Consolidated Com
|pany has been steadily acquiring an
acreage in the camp and placing itself
BIN a position where it would be able
to do something in the direction of sue
|cessful mining. How well it has sue
Iceeded is best told by the properties it
has in hand at the present time and
| in the fact that it is now producing the
precious metal. Mr.. Seemann is not
manager who believes that the accu-
|mulation of property is the only requi-
. site to the development of a camp.
With its accumulation he believes the
owner inherits the right and duty tn
work the property and develop it so

others. some actual good.

under way, or at least in contempla-
tion. Some of these will mean great
deal for the district and its develop
ment. We suppose that time will tell
what they are. Like all mine mana.
gers, he refuses to tell, so that time
will have to tell it, if it reaches the
public. One thing is certain and that
is that with increased tonnage and in
creased development, an increased mill
capacity will be required and with this
increased mill capacity will come the
employment of more men in mine and
mill and the betterment in other ways
of every condition in the district. The
Lombard is a great proposition. 1t has
borne that reputation for years and
