New Find at Kendall.

Henry Parent, a well known, as
well as an old-time resident OF Ken
dali, has a claim over In the Dog creek
section of the North Moccasins that
is likely to put him in a position to
enjoy the rights. appurtenances and
hereditaments of that delightful prom
enade known as Easy street.
He struck a short time since on the
Rawley claim a vein that carries ore
of great richness. II is a smelling
ore. and samples run as high as three
hundred ounces in silver, twenty per
cent lead and considerable gold. A
cross-cut tunnel was u in to tap the
vein, which shows up strong on top.
When the vein vas reached but slight
depth had been attained, yet the for
nation invited further development.
He started a shaft and it is in this
working that rich ore is found. But
little work could be done owing to the
strong flow Of surface water. Work
has been discontinued until such time
as the water somewhat subsidies.
The vein gives strong indications
of increasing in width with added
depth. AS 1t shows now 1t is eve
feet wide. VIM. MCLEAN is associat-
ed with Mr.. Parent in the ownership
of the property. Its present richness
is certainly most reassuring. The
finding of silver-lead ore beyond the
cyanide belt is in itself significant.
1t helps confirm what experts have
stated and stated with emphasis. that
sooner or later great deposits of
smelling ore, as well as free milling
ore, would be found in the North Moe
casin. These deposits may not be
found lying near the surface, but deep
exploration will expose them. Indi-
cations of these ore bodies are en-
countered on every hand. Develop
ment is retarded in many cases by
the claim wners being poor men and
not able to open their property.
Mr.. Parent has another claim, the
Forsake Fraction No. 2, that is prom.
Using. He has a shaft down 80 feet
in ore that runs as high As 81, the
values increasing with depth.-Ken-
dali Chronicle.
What Moore Thinks.
w. ]. Moore, a mining expert OF
Colorado Springs, Is having some
work done on a cyanide proposition
about two miles west of Kendall. Mr..
Moore was here in the spring and from
what he saw then was greatly pleas
ed with the mining outlook. His sec.
ond visit has not only confirmed his
first impressions, but it has added
to his stock of confidence in the ulti-
mate greatness of the camp. you

Golden Jack" Lee, n of the most
optimistic prospectors in this section
of the state, was in town last week
and mentioned that he had. shipped
a box of copper ore from his mining
property in the Armells district. to
the Mining Congress at Butte. Jack
says the sample was a world beater
and contained some of the prettiest
specimens of ore ever seer in the
county. Assays received from ore
taken from the property run as high
as thirty per cent copper.
