BUNKER HILL GROUP
A Very Promising Property in the Heart of Richly Min
 eralized District.
4 Ledge of Great Width Carrying
 Ore Rich in Values.

Lynx Creek. June 5.-The Bunker Hill group of mines is situated about one mile in a westerly direction from Jones Mill, on the Divide between Lynx creek. and Big Bug district and four and half miles east of the town of Walker. It is admirably situated in the center of a rich mineral belt surrounded on all sides by rich pay ing mines. There is great deal of activity and development going on in close proximity to this group. The work on this group is forging ahead with giant strides also. The Bunker Hill vein has been opened up on four claims, and as far as develop ment at present shows, is a very large vein. In two places, on different claims the vein is thirty feet in width, with rich streaks of high grade ore throughout the same. The main work ing on the Bunker Hill mine con- sists of a shaft 13O feet in depth A large cut here crosses the vein and is from F feet 20 feet Tn depth and shows the vein very distinct and measures twenty and half feet from wall to wall. There are several other shafts and cuts, on each side of the main shaft, for several hundred feet each way which show the vein to be of an average size through out with well defined walls. At the south end of the Bunker Hill claim a cut was run B feet which shows the vein from wall to wall. A new shaft here was sunk and the ore looks good. This is on Bunker Hill No. ?. The vein can be traced on the surface the entire length of this No. ? claim, and again on No. 3, 3,south of No. ?, 800 feet south of the north end of No. 3 in new shaft and long cut expos ing part of the vein, and shows a very large body of ore. At the present time for 1,000 feet south of this new shaft the formation is mixed with ore and heavily mineralized for sev- eral hundred feet in width, showing a very large blow out Here in this spot the indications show for them selves. On the north of the Bunker Hill very little work has been done, owing to the vein being capped over with granite. Here the hill termi- mates and the slope is very steep for 1000 feet and in some places the ledges are perpendicular and covered with large bOulders, thereby making prospecting a difficult problem, here tOfore. but the recent storms, by an accident uncovered the vein in one place near the bottom of the hill. This gives an excellent tunnel site and will be opened up immediately for that purpose. The depth gained will be nearly 800 feet, which means considerable in developing a mine. Another claim of this group is the cross vein which runs nearly at right angles with the Bunker Hill vein, and is north of the main shaft about 100 feet. A tunnel here shows nearly two feet of solid ore, carrying gold and copper and is of good values in gold.
 The tunnel is over 900 feet in the hill and the vein has been traced to n low, where tunnel will also be driven in on the ore. The ore taken out of the Bunker Hill several years ago was milled near by and plated in free gold S3S per ton and the concentrates were high enough to ship to the shelter at Pueblo, Colorado, pay all thus giving a very good average values.
