Late Reports from the Mine Con-
sidered Best Yet Made.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Penn. Mrs.
French and Miss Baker calua III from
Leslie this morning, bringing 4 letter
from Mr.. e. P. Baker. TIE contractor
on the Strong mine, and samples 0.
ore taken from the face Of the south
drift at the 150-fCot level If The mine.
Mr.. Baker says there is ore everywhere
they work now, and the prospects OF
the Strong rIEc never !Uokei better
than at the present time He is great
ly Pleased at the showing made, and
his enthusiasm extends TO DR.. Swigart,
who examined the ore sent and who
pronounces it something wonderful,
filling him with the belief that the
Strong company has the bes, copper
proposition in this part of the state.
The new find is in a drift TO The
west in the big cross dyke in the $50
foot level. The level was driven mere
than a hundred feet to the soUtl. from
the shaft, where good ore was encount-
cred. A drift to the east vas made fer
eleven feet, all the way in ore and fol-
four feet in excellent ore. When Prot
Trumbull was at the mine a few weeks
ago he advised the miners to drift to
the westward. cutting the dyke. aud
this they have done. Miss Baker, Who
left Leslie after the Pcnns and Mrs.
French came away this morning,
brings word that the last drill hole
made last evening filed with water,
the water being as red as blood and
that her father could not stay in the
mine and could hardly stay on the sur
face when the discovery was made.
Heretofore the scarcity of water in the
mine has been a sort of dampener on
the spirits of the men, who would rath-
eT have the damp in reality. and the
presence of a good stream in the new
drift is considered a fo]rerunner OF a
large body of ore. The samples
brought to the city contain much cop
per, the finer dirt being full of parti-
cles of almost pure copper. DR.. Swi-
CART says that all the ore coming from
the mine now will do to ship, and it
is only a question of time when the
company will have its own reduction
plant, the energies being directed in
that direction at present.
