work has been confined To driving q
tunnel "a top what is commonly called
the Ga'ena vein. which CROPS out prom
inentiy at the surface. A first Glars
tunnel four feet wide and six and one
half feet nigh has been run into the
hill for a distance of $50 feet and an
up-raise of seventy feet has been cut to
obtain air connection. st IS expected
that the Calena vein VIII be reached

have every. reason to believe that a
body Of good ore will be encountered.
The face of the tunnel IS now in a
lime formation, which carries oxidized
iron This is the first time that lime
has been encountered since working the
property.
About rs feet from the mouth Of the
tunnel and al a depth of $50 feet from
the surface on the dip of the vein. a
body of ore was encountered upon
which a Wine has been sunk about
eighteen feet below the bottom Of the
tunnel in a body of ore all the way.
In the bottom of the Wine the vein Is
four feet wide ard contains pay
streak eighteen inches wide. Average
samples thoroughly mixed. run from
$1,000 10 $4,000 per ton. most Of the
values being in gold. The work of driv-
ing the tunnel and further prospecting
and developing the body of ore is now
being continued.
The company has levied an assess
ment of One-half cent per share. pay
able on or before Feb. :. 1904.
A large number Of shares Of the Sill
yer Cave Mining company changed
hands at the recent sale of DELINQUENT
stock held in this city. Large blocks
Of the stock were purchased by Branch
Young and 3. F. Roper Of Provo. The
price did not reach much above the

share.
