MINING WORLD.

ada, Continues to Yield Its
FabulouSIy Rich Ore.
ROY RIDGE IS IN THE SWIM, TOO
Salt Lake Man and His Partner Have
Taken Out More Than 100000
Within Thirty Days.

The showing under development.
stamps the Jumbo mine as the marvel
Of the mining world. says the Goldheld
News. Were It not daily visited by
prominent mining men from every sec
ton who see for themselves the size
and extent Of its fabulously rich ore,
One would hesitate TO tell anywhere
near the full truth And there are a
number Of other properties in the Gold
field district which are but little less
wonderful than the Jumbo In their
showing.
In the Vermlyea & Bartlett lease on
the Jumbo the extra rich strike has
widened out to inches and the values
are increasing as depth is gained Such
a statement sounds preposterous, but 1t
is nevertheless fact. The writer saw
piece of rock panned Monday and
quarters of It was gold, Mr.. YER
milyea has Installed a small mill con-
sisting Of a mortar and large pestle
suspended from a spring board, and
with this crude appliance turns out %
pounds Of amalgam a day worth not
less than $1,000. The hard rock, one foot
in width. along the rich streak, goes
from $500 to $500 per ton. The drift
from the 80 foot level should get under
the rich shoot with another 10 feet Of
work and If the values hold to even that
depth, there Is mint In this lease
alone. Mr. Nermllyea, like others who
are getting big values, has his tent on
the ground and stays with his bonanza
night and day.
The Curtis and Ridge lease while not
having such sensational values, Is still
a wonderful money maker, It is not
yet 30 days since they started and be-
sides erecting hoist and doing lots
of dead work, they have taken out $780,
900 worth OF shipping ore in that time.
The daily production now is about "a
tons Of ore going about $1,000 per ton,
aud the same amount ~ $50 to 500 ore
which ls put on the mil dump. AT least
three shipments of the rich stuff viii
go out from this lease this week.
And the smelter returns will tell the
tale.
The Kernick and Bowes lease has not

We're taken Monday night, which are

The Richard and Cowng lease has

face and an average assay across one

main shaft
on the linn lease two men are taking
| out $500 to $500 ore from a drift at the
| 5O-foot level, which Is a good Increase In
the shipping values first found. Twen-
| ~ feet from Zinn's shaft streak of ore
was found close to the surface on the
same lease and II Is stated. but not

Joe Wilson, Of the Joshua Club lease.
ON Sunday opened up the ledge in a
new place. The ledge has been stripped
| for 10 feet in length and an average
assay across ~ feet gave returns of
s6.22l TO the ton In gold. They are now
sacking the ore and win soon have a
shipment.
Geo Mcclellan also made two good
strikes this week on his st. Ives lease.
| AT the 50-foot level he had n streak
one foot wide. which he thought was
mill dirt but an assay clear across
showed that It was worth 1896 per ton
on the average. on the same ledge
he has opened Il up IN another place
and an average assay across four feet
returned values Of 1913 per ton. Mr..
McClelland Is sackiug ore for shipment.
