TWO LED6ES CUT
IN THE GOLD HILL
Pump Arrives asd Is in Positiea h The
Rescue.

Crosscutting TO the north and
south has been progressing vigorous
ly in the Gold Hill property for the
past three months at a depth of 500
feet. This week lodges were struck
in both crosscuts, in the north at a
distance Of 40 feet, and in the south
at 155 feet. In the former small
streaks Of quartz have been encoun-
tered for twenty feet back, and fin
ally eliminated in the opening up of
a two-foot ledge carrying some high
values. In the south crosscut the
ledge exposed is little over foot
in width and carries medium grade
values. In both cuts and back of
the ore the ground is softening up
and every indication is apparent that
the best has not yet been exposed,
so that interesting developments may
be looked for in the next few days.
The Gold Hill, which is owned mainly
by Messrs. Butler, Oddie and Broug-
her, is regarded as one OF the most
prominent properties in the district,
and will one of these days prove a
bonanza. The strike in this proper
ty will greatly encourage the owners
of claims on the north and east, not
ably the Salt Lake and Rescue COM
panies.
OhiO-TOnOpah.
At the last measurement the cross
cut in this property at the TO
foot level was in ia feet, and it is
being driven at the rate of five feet a
day. Several veins running east and
west have been cut during the prog
ress of the work, and one of these a
drift is now being run to the east,
and is in forty nine feet. The Ohio
Tonopah is equipped with one of the
best hosting plants in the district,
and attached to it are numerous de.
vices that tend to economy both IL
the use of water and fuel The cost
of running is thereby reduced to q
minimum. Two machine drills have
recently been installed and are doing
good work.

Some excellent ore is being ex
tracted from the shaft of the Tono
pah- Belcher at Lone Mountain, at q

that showed so rich on the surface
at depth Of sixty or seventy feet
The shaft is now down forty feet.

The newly arrived pump for tn
Rescue was put in position this week
and has cleared the shaft Of the wat
or that had accumulated there Thu
pump is able 10 handle all the waite
that will likely come in hereafter, 81
that sinking can proceed without in
eruption. The shaft is now down ;
little more than 300 feet.
