and doing considerable drifting on that
level, az well as on the 900 suspended
operations at lts shaft but kept a
small force working on ore in the
Green tunnel A small shipment Of
good ore has been made lately from the
tunnel workings, and work is being
steadily prosecuted therein.
The Nalldrlyer shaft Is equipped with
fine first motion hosting engine and
is IN condition to resume active opera
lions on o few days notice. that such
resumption viii occur In the near fu-
ture seems highly probable from the
developments being made In the New
York, which adJolns the Naildriyer on

BONANZA CONSOLIDATED.
No work Of consequence has been
done on the Bonanza Consolidated the
present year. but the tunnel workings
show the ground to be strongly miner
allied, the lime formation being spotted
with galena, and doubtless at depth
bodies Of pay ore win be shown to ex-
lat, but at present the company has
not the financial ability to undertake
the necessary work,
THE CONSTELLATION.
Only assessment work for lts un-
patented claims has been performed by
the Constellation company during the
past season, but II the American Flag
proves to be as great a mine as pres
ent conditions indicate the Constela-
TONS ground will be Of much concern
10 mining men and operations on
large scale Will surely be- undertaken,
as the course OF the American Flag
vein trends directly towards the Con.
stellation and is but short distance

BLUE LEDGE DISTRICT.
In Blue Ledge district active work |
has been carried on at but few Of the |
many promising properties.
The 81, Lous-0ntaro has started a
ehaft to open splendid contact OF |
lime and quartzlte which crops to the |
surface on their ground.
Although no deep prospecting has
been done In the vicinity the formation
appears to be very favorable to the
deposition Of ore, and small assures
occurring near the surface are found
TO carry mineral IN considerable guam
titles Altogether this prospect pos.
aesses much to indicate the proximity
OF ore bodies and the method OF work
should surely determine their value
IN short time.
THE LIBERTY PROPERTY, |
AZ the Liberty work was suspended
in the tunnel after some 700 feet had
been driven, and since that time only q
little surface prospecting has been
done. The cause Of suspension Of work
on this large and promising property
IS unknown to any but the owners,
but It is unbelievable that the present
state Of ldeness will be allowed to con-
tlnue for any considerable time.

The Glencoe group Of claims Is now
being steadily worked under a lease

Surface formation on this group IS
OF character differing entirely from
that OF any OF the developed mines
hereabouts and the ore differs some

The old DAILY mine, with is record Of

With this idea IN view, Manager c,

extends northward through the Daily

A small shaft was sunk al a point
