mines, the prospect Of opening big pro-

Combination Claim Sold.
One by one the properties in the main
mineral belt (of which the Jumbo, Jan
uary, St. Ives. Florence, Red Top and
Blue Bull groups are the most conspicu-
ous) are being purchased for investment.
Only short time ago the Simmerone
fraction was sold, recently the Atlanta
group was taken up and now the Com
bination, near the Moonshine and the
St. Ives, has be-n added to the list
This property is remarkable for the
number and strength of the quartz
ledges exposed. One ledge is known to
be 40 feet in width, and there are two
others of lesser size.

Combination Fraction.
Murphy and Myers, owners of the
Fraction, have started work
on their holdings and will extensively
develop them. The shaft that was put
down to a depth OF 80 feet by Beacham
and associates while leasing is being
timbered and will be continued to the
level. From this depth the
ground will be thoroughly explored. The
shaft on the Bruce and Day lease has
reached the lOO-foot level. 1t will be
continued to the $50 before any lateral
work is done. Values up to $72 per ton
have been secured from the Lothrop and
O'Keefe lease. Crosscutting is now un-
der way from the 100 level.

Goldfield Mining company on which an
strike was reported last week,

The whole face of the drift is now in ore
which samples $46 across its entire
width, feet. The Cracker Jack prom
ises to develop into shipper very soon.
Gold Wedge.
Active work is progressing in the
crosscuts from the 165-foot level OF the
Gold Wedge claim of the Jumbo Exten-
sion company. The west crosscut has
been extended 20 feet and the formation
at present is said to be very similar to
that of the Combination. 1t is expected
that drifting will be commenced very
soon.

1923 feet to 200 feet in length, and one
shaft 65 feet deep. The 1913 foot tunnel
