John Oglen, an old-timer on

At the Wisdom mine Thunder
Mountain, there are ten stamps
in operation. 1t saves from rs
to " per cent on ores running
$6. As per ton. Next season will
probably see the installation of
its 100-stamp mill, when the tail
ings will oe treated by the cyan
ide process. Under this double
treatment it is not likely that
any considerable percentage of
the values will escape.
John jameson while IN Custer
county last summer visited Ante
lope valley while prospecting for
coal discovered a fine quality of
fire clay, and proceeded to ex-
ploTe the deposit, and found
lquite large hill composed of
this clay. or as far down as he
dug. John says he will take any
one to the spot who desires to
develop fire clay deposit. 1t is

| Forty, FIVE men are engaged in
opening ore bodies at the Sunny
side mine in Thunder Mountain,
says G. J. Perkins. In this prop
| erty there are 2,610 feet of drifts,
tunnels. wines and raises. Five
written reports have been made
made on this property. Two of
them were completed during the
last ten days. They show the
following figures: 10000 tons
of So ore; 345, 900 tons of $12 ore.
and 170, 900 tons of S26 ore. The
S26 ore lies in a body ninteen
feet wide. A round of shots
were fired in the Sunnyside just
) before our party left. Immedi-
{ ately after the discharge | rush
ed through the smoke and grab
bed specimens at random. These
were panned and left a streak of
gold FIVE and half inches in
length. | suppose that rs per
, cent of the Sunnyside values may
be saved on plates.
