On the lease Of eddie Gardner,

the new working shaft Is going down
rapidly and they will soon be In shape

THE SANDSTORM.
A strike, the magnitude OF which Is
as yet undetermined, but which at
present is second to but few In this
phenomenal camp, was made some
weeks ago on the Sandstone, but au-
thentic news Of the same Is now given
Ia the public for the first time The
strike was made on the LOTUS Davis
Mayne lease, about ZOO feet from the
point where Oddie Gardner, Duffed
and associates are taking out such
rich ore from the Kendall. by careful
prospecting and close panning Mr.
Davis traced up float and placer dirt
I'LL he exposed ledge, and two assays
from the groupings returned values Of
s52564 40 and Sl9,S54 per ton respect
lively. Continuing his prospecting he
found another ledge about 20 feet to
the west which assayed from $500 40
10 15.Si6S0 per ton. Going into the
old shaft, which had been sunk 40 feet
by others they discovered at a depth
OF Is feet body OF ore about four feet
wide which goes from $500 to $1,000
per ton
The upper ledge has been stripped for
n distance Of 20 feet and shows a width
OF from four to seven feet a sample
taken clear across this ledge gives an
assay value OF S3,40G 80 per ton. This
may or may not represent the average
value Of the ore body-lt Is too early
yet to know, but there are few who
have doubts that another bonanza will
be opened. The lower ledge, where the
highest assays were secured, has not
been opened up yet An average sam

MARyELOUsLY RICH.
The writer was present when pam
nlngs were made from the ledge on the
surface and Is bound TO admit they
were the richest he has ever seen I'm
any mining camp, What made the find
especially interesting was the fact
that A. II. Mayne, well known salt
Laker, Is one of the principal owners
OF the lease, His many friends will be
glad to learn that he has struck II
rich.
Mr. George s, Nixon and George
Wlngdeld are also among the lucky
ones interested in this lease. This
property has all the earmarks OF be-
coming another Jumbo or January and
goes far to prove the extent Of this
district inasmuch as It is fully two
miles In a Decline from those famous
properties.
Besides the properties above men,
toned there are score of others which
have gone beyond the prospect stage
and are already mines In embyiO.
Among them are the Black Butte,
spearhead, Velvet Red Top, Vernal,
Blue Bull, Great Bard and a number OF
others which lack OF space win not
permit Of further de5cr pton.
