THE MINES ARE DOING
RED TOP SHIPPING.

RED TOP SHIPPING.
The shares of this company have
been in demand this week and there
was a sharp advance on the San Fran
cisco Mining Stock Exchange. The
was in active demand here also,
on the report that a shoot of $1,000
ore had been encountered at the 100
The company has been ship
ping to one of the local samplers, one
lot of IL tons having been settled for
at the rate of s1I0, and another of
16 tons at $l13. Steady shipments will
be continued at the rate of 20 tons
daily, and it will be the object of
the management to keep the grade
at about the 800 mark. 1t has been
known for a long time that wide bod
les of a milling grade of ore had been
up in the different levels, and
occasional seams of very high grade.
At the 100, or bottom level, a shoot
has been drifted on for a distance of
300 feet, and several erosscuts that
have been driven on the ledge would
go to show that it would run $40 a
without any sorting. The ore
body is 12 feet wide. The ore that
is now being marketed is being broken
at the so, 100 and 160-foot levels.
aoLDFIELD PORTLAND.
Donald Gillies, who has secured a
on the Bull Con and Panhandle
iodes owned by this company, will be
ready to commence operations the
first of next week. The present work
ing shaft is down $50 feet and the
work of lowering to double that depth
will be under Roadway before the
is over. Mr.. Gillies made a
thorough examination of the different
drifts to the 250-foot point and as
sayed the rock pretty thoroughly be-
fore he made up his mind to lease the
ground. He found wide bodies of low
grade ore and occasional seams and
lunches of rich stuff. While the work
of sinking will be diligently pushed,
drifts and crosscuts will also be run
in upper levels with the expectation
of finding a shoot of high grade. The
Portland is equipped with the largest
hoist in use in camp and is capable
of raising rock from a depth of 1000
feet.
THE DOMINION.
The large acreage of this company,
on the north slope of Column
bia mountain, is to be thoroughly pros
both by the company as well
as by the leasing system. Four leases
were granted this week and work has
been started. The company will con
tinue operations on the Ajax No. 3.
a fine body of ore vas uncovered
in surface trenching some fifty days
ago. A shaft was started and the
was quickly passed through. The
shaft was continued to a depth of 40
feet and a drift was extended on the
vein. Last Saturday the shoot was
again entered and it is 2 feet wide and
contains good pay quartz. Although
Sol Camp has assumed the manage
of the January mine, he will
also have charge of the Dominion. He
is one of the largest owners of the
of the company and is of the
opinion that one of these days an
ore shoot will be opened up on it that
viii place the property among the big
producers of the district.
NEVADA QUEEN B.
One small shipment has been made
from the Diamond Special, awned by
company, and it was paid for at
the rate of about $500 a ton. The
shaft has now reached a depth of
100 feet and a within was installed this
week. 1t was the intention of the
management to put in a hoist but the
question arose as to the kind of power
be used and as a temporary make
shift horse power will be used. A cross
cut will be driven to the ledge where
big body of GRE is looked for. The
ore taken out in sinking the shaft
came from small ~stringers.
THE YELLOW TIGER.
Davis and Crawford have secured
a lease on the Union, owned by the
Yellow Tiger Mining company, and
have started to make a mine Of it. On
the surface they obtained assays on
an outcropping ledge that went as
high as $500. Their intention is to
sink to a depth of 80 feet, away from
the ledge, and then crosscut to it. The
same company is now considering the
