Il was formerly known as the Nc

Thomas Keane. whose brother located
the keanc wonder IN Death valley

ssts OF 100000 shares OF "a par value
Of 81 each. There are 100000 shares in

development work Ten men are at
work In opening the property under
the direction of Vivian T. Strange, the

Work on the property IS being done
by shafts and drifts. West of the main
incline a considerable body Of milling
ore has been opened up, but the prin-
cIpal work has been IN following rich
strlngers with the expectation Of en-
tering into bonanza chutes Assays
from q few dollars as high as Sil3 per
ton have been obtained In the west
drift from the Thanksgiving shaft
the most eastery workings, specimen
quartz showing free gold has been OBJ
talned with every indication that the
ore will become stronger below Sink
Ing has been resumed at this point ana
another drift win be started at the
75-foot level The general consensus
OF opinion OF prominent mining men
who have visited the property is that
with depth n considerable ore body
win be developed and II Is with that
general view Of the situation the COM
pany proposes pushing the shaft to
greater depth.
The vein system Of the Great Bend
group is marked by prominent quartz
groupings, widening at places to 70
feet and strongly outlined above the
general topography OF the adjacent
country. The southerly vein runs
through the locations parallel with the
side lines Of the claims distance of
1890 feet and the northerly vein, upon
which no prospecting has yet been done,
about the same distance, In view Of
the close prospecting required through
out Goldheld district by surface trench
ings and paintings to determine the po-
sition OF the high grade pay chutes,
there remains a large area Of the COM !
pany's ground yet TO be studied and |
developed outside that now being |
worked,
The personnel Of the company Is so |
well and favorably known In Salt Lake
that no further assurance is neede' TO |
warrant the statement that this prop
erty will be scientifically opened up
and honestly managed,
