Of claims owneld by the New England

owing to the large beds Of volcanis
between Butler and White mountain.
Just south of this the company sank
double compartment shaft on a mar
row vein which carried good values
but dipped out of the shaft in few
feet. A depth Of 1911 feet has now
been reached in a strongly mineraliZ-
ed formation carrying boulders AMI
masses of quartz yielding assays from
$40 to $S5 per ton in gold and small
values in silver Another shaft on an
other claim was started on the dip If
a small stringer which at the depth of
thirty feet has widened cut to vein
formation strongly mineralized, rapid
ly changing to quartz and carrying
in places values as high as $50 per
ton in gold. This vein formation has
a perfect hanging wall and no foot
wall has yet been reached. The COM

houses and three shifts are being WORK
ed on both shafts. An eighty horse
