SIX STRIKES IN TEN DAYS

have made important changes in the
future prospects of at least half a
dozen properties. New ore bodies have
been opened in the Bullion Beck. Little /

Con-. and in each instance they bear
out the oft heard expression, You ger

IN the Little Chief strike was
made this week that seems TO indicate
q permanent ore body Of proportions

"a discoutiuuarlce OF assessments The
importance OF the strike which was
made on the 500 level north of the
fhaftwav, lies in the fact that in
drift which is being driven into the
same country on the l,O0O-fOOt Level,
which has yet a considerable distance
10 run to reach the point OF the dis
closure on the 500, small seams Of good
ore are making their appear ance, prom
isiug "a stopping area with "a vertical
depth Of 2Q0 feet.
AS for the ore on the 500, there is
now exposed "a hve-foot face of silver
lead CarbOnates that viii ship prdc-
tically without sorting. With this is
seam of about one foot across. contain
ing ChlOrides and horn silver. assays
running as high as 500 ounces on picked
samples. Another very favorable in
dicatiOn is the gradual widening Of the
ore body as progress is made to the
north. I'm which direction the company
has more than half q mile of ground.
HOisting was commenced Thursday,
and by Monday the management
should have car ready for shipment.
Tetro's Big Strike.
At the Tetro they have found no
foOtwall as yet, although they have
penetrated the ore body in the direc-
IiOn i'm which 70 lies for more than
twenty feet. and Bob Brown says they
don't care If they never find it. Meas
uIing across at the top Of the raise
from the hanging wall there are eight
cen feet of high grade silveT-lead ore
of the kind that runs into tons with
great rapidity, that is shipped as il IS
broken. Assays run up to 20 per cent
in lead, and in some instances over 100
ounces i'm silver.
on this strike drift has been pushed
west into the ore for twenty feet with
no change either I'm the size of the vein
nor the value or character Of the filing.
The raise is now up about thirty-nve
feet. with the entire top in ore. Four
men broke five railway cars of ore IN
nine shifts. Nearly all the lead ore

which also contains q considerable per-
CentaEe of lead.
There is every proof that the Tetro
strike has come to stay this time, and
the east country looks equally as good
as the west side of the stope. although
mo mOrk has yet been done on that
side of the stOpe. Two cars were
shipped the first of the week, and two

until the timbermen can put things in
a safer condition.
Yankee Disclosure.
Yankee stockholders are again jubil-
ant. after long season Of depression,

for a campaign that would prove up
the property at depth That their judE-
uent was good seems about to be dem

shaft. which has been put down from
the tunnel level in which an ore body
has been opened at a vertical depth of
pighty-five feet below the tunnel. and
several hundred feet under the surface.
Questioned about conditions in that
part OF the mine both Secretary Ans
den. who has spent the week at the
mine. and Superintendent Turner de
clined 60 say anything for publication
until returns have been received from
car of the ore that was sent to the
sampler Thursday. and the extent OF
the find has been determined. It is the
general belief by well posted persons
in the camp That the Yankee has q
strike of greet Importance. however,
end considerable Of the cOmpany's stock
has changed hands out here.
Bringing Carisa Out
over at the Carisa a winze has been
dr0pped down from the 100-fOOt level
of the Spy shaft for twenty-five feet
into q body OF copper ore measuring
twelve feet across, and drift is being
pushed into the same hssure on the
