A
GREAT MINE
Increased Output of High Grade
Shipping Ore.-General
Mining Notes.

Inc Florence Is even greater IMAM IV-
cent reports would indicate. In prose-
cutting development work in the old
workings operated by the lessees there
have been found ore shoots of the first
importance that were untouched. In
addition to this feature the operations
in the north drift have disclosed most
remarkable showing. In nearly all por-
tions OF the mine splendid bodies OF ore
are being opened up and it will be but
matter of few weeks when the Output
from the Florence will be far heavier
than at present. Although regular ship
ments are being made there is knocked
down and ready for hosting over 2DO
tons of high-grade ore in the drifts. In
fact more ore is being broken in devel-
Oping the property than can be shipped
with present facilities.

assay of $29 was recently secured from a
ledge to feet wide on the Sunny Slope
