CeldhelA Treasure.
The shaft o. the Goldfeld Treasure
company on their Banner Mountain
group has reach depth of 60 feet and
crosscutting has begun. The company
owns two groups of claims, but have
been developing the Banner Mountain
group for six months. 1t is now an
nounced that they will work their very
valuable property adjoining the Adams
and Cracker Jack claims, probably this
month. Already they have the black
smith shop erected. Since the Adams
favorable showing and great values on
the Cracker Jack claim of the Goldfield
Mining company, the Ramona claim
of the Goldfeld Treasure company, ly-
ing between these two strikes, is certain
to have the extension of the ore bodies.
Several applications for lease are under
consideration. This company with it's
226 acres and conservative working poll
cy have caused the stock to be quietly
absorbed, and the Mims-Sutro company
practically control the local market.
The Blue Boil. =
Owing to the greatly improved show
ing in company workings on the Blue
Bull, a second shift has been put on and
development work is to be prosecuted
with greater rapidity. Recently in the
shaft tale seam from 10 to 18 inches
in width has been opened up. The
streak has been opened up. The streak
averages $43 in value, and it is believed
will lead to an important shoot of ship
ping ore. On another place on the Blue
Bull claim body of ore has been opened
up that pans SO we'll the management
has decided to thoroughly prospect the
the find. Two shifts are to be employed
in opening up and exploring the discov-
cry The several sets of lessees are
meeting with most encouraging results
and it certainly looks as though the Blue
Bull will, before very long, take rank
with the important shippers of the dis
trict.

On the Gold Button.
The Gold Button Mining company has
let contract for 40 feet of sinking and
a small amount of crosscutting on the
Tioga claim. of the company's group.
The contractors are johnson and Falk.
Crosscutting is under way from the bot
tom Of 5O-foot shafts on the Matte and
Overlook claims of the same group. On
the Matte a good looking ledge of
quartz has come in that shows from Is
inches to 2 feet in width where exposed.
The quartz shows strong indications of
heavy naturalization and, in fact, has
the appearance of good ore. The ledge
will be extensively prospected.
Jumbo Extension.
The crosscut from the 165-foot level of
the Jumbo Extension company's prop
erty has reached point 40 feet from
the shaft, and the management expects
to cut the extension of the Jumbo ledge
most any day. A material change in
the formation has been noted for the
past few days indicating the close prox-
unity of a body of ore. A crosscut is to
be started Immediately to the east from
the same level to explore ledge that
enters the property near the southeast
corner. This property is being develop
ed with energy and, in view of its loca
tion. should turn out to be good mine.
Lone Star.
Some good ore is being hoisted by
lessees ON the Lone Star and Patrick
