has been confi 1 to annual assessment
work largely, and yet with but this
meagre development the indications
are fruitful with golden promise. On
a good proportion of these claims as
sessment work is now being done and
contracts are being awarded for the
yearly allotment on the others. T. G..
Loekhart, of Florence fame, owns an
extensive estate in that section and
has a force of men engaged in prosecute
ing the development necessary for hold
ing them intact. Among his holdings
are the Fissure Nos. i, 2, 3 and 4. A
large porphyry blowout trends east and
west across them which has the evil
dences of being gold producing. Ad-
joining are the Dexter, Blue Bird,
Jasper, Last Chance and other claims,
all of which are marked by the pres
enee of p%orphyritic dikes of magnitude

critics of the Goldfeld Lombard Mining
company, which recently passed into
the control of eastern, middle west and
English capitalists. Active develop
ment is being prosecuted daily and
while as yet nothing in the way of pay
values in quantity have been found the
returns are sufficiently encouraging to
warrant continuous exploration. Just
north of the Bullfrog trail a shaft has
been sunk in a deposit of decomposed
granite to a depth of los feet, from
the bottom of which a crosscut has
been extended a distance of 100 feet
toward the vein showing at surface.

1t is the intention to lower the shaft
200 feet more, but operations have been
temporarily suspended. Devel ,pmeny
is now in progress further to the north,
where a shaft has been sunk to a depth

is being extended to the south with the
object of reaching contact with the
porphyry blowout. Some vein matter
is showing in the breast of the drift on
which assays of an optimistic nature
are being secured.
In proximlt.' to the Lombard estate
TO the west and north, lie the proper
ties of the ~Sunnyside Gold Mining com
pany, of which r. w. Griswold, a
former Colorado mine operator is man
ager. The stock in the company is
held largely by Lincoln Spangler, a
prominent sampler operator of the Cen
~tennial state, and other Denver men.
Mr.. Griswold is now at that point ar
ranging for the thorough development
of the ground during the winter and he
will be accompanied on his return to
camp by several of the stockholders,
including Mr.. Spangler. The claims
held by the Sunnyside people are six
in number and are the Molly Mcguire,
Liberty Bell, %Sunnyside No. l, Cum
berland, S%unnyside No. 2 and Rebel
Chief. Something in the way of a
find of moment was chronicled from
there a number of weeks ago and
leads to the belief that permanent pay
values are to follow.
North of the Sunnyside and adjoin-
ing, is the Mount Hood group, on
which a considerable amount of devel-
opment work has been accomplished.
The same porphyry blowouts charac-
t~eristic of the entire section can be
traced across its surface and on east
into another unattached section. The
latter area is marked by quite an
amount of surface trenching and
scores of shallow shafts, denoting that
development is as yet in its incipient
state. Further east yet the manage
ment of the GoldfelG Monarh Mining
company is endeavoring to secure an
ore body of shipping grade, and values
of an encouraging nature are being
obtained.
To the east of the Goldfeld Lombard
company's property is the Grass
hopper and Little Annie groups. Senator
Nixon is one of the owners of the
former and on both there are good sur
face showings. The Little Annie group
consists of five claims and on the Little
Annie, Rosey and Davoren Boy claims
there are lodges which give good prom
Use under development. Eastern cap
ital is figuring on this group and 1T is
possible that it will soon change hands.
