The contractors driving the lower
tunnel on the Trade Dollar Extension
property are making remarkably fine
progress. In fourteen days they drove
in very hard granite. 100 feet. The
work is progressing almost as rapidly
in the upper tunnel.

| A lady has been doing some success
full prospecting on War Eagle this
week and has located three claims aud
employed men to do the necessary To-
cation work on each of them-a hole
ten feet deep and four feet across.
May they all prove bonanzas.

The Sinker Tunnel people are now
running crosscut, west, from the 900
foot level of the upraise. 1t is said the
manager intends to run this crosscut
about 400 feet to prospect for veins
known to lie west of the Elmore Char
lot vein Work is progressing very
satisfactorily there now.

]. q. Masters will go to Castle creek
tomorrow, with crew of men, TO be-
gin work on the Tybo- Blue Bird group
of mines, in Pixley Basin. These mines,
acquired several years ago by Ballard,
Watt, Miller & Kane, promised at the
time to open new and very promising
district in the county, but disagree
ment among the owners tied them up
just after a strong vein of high grade
ore had been opened and a shipment
made from it which brought good re-
turns. Then company of Boise men
was organized to work them aud some
stock ia them sold, but one of the
original owners became an incompe-
tent person before the title was
Strengthened, resulting in another long
delay. Now it is presumed that mat
ters have been fixed that the company
can proceed with the work. The mines
are very favorably spoken of by many
miners from here who have visited
them, and predictions are made that
this will prove an important group.
Pixley Basin is easily accessible and
water and timber for mining purposes
are plentiful.

Stephen Schuckle, who for a good
many months past has been handling a
machine drill in the Trade Dollar
mines, quit his job on the first of the
month to resume work on his Gold
Hill group of claims, on the north
slope of Florida mountain, between
here aud Dewey. Mr.. Schuckle has
been the owner for several years of
three full claims and a fraction, lying
along and across Black Rock gulch,
east of and adjoining the Trade Dollar
Extension properties, and has, almost
single handed, done large amount in
developing them, quitting work on
them at intervals to work elsewhere to
raise another grub and powder stake.
One of the veins on two of his claims
is the north extension of the lode run
ming through the we'll known Miller &
Walters property, which joins him on
the south. Ibis group of claims is in
a highly mineralized location and gives
great promise of turning out very val
liable. These properties offer a fine
opportunity to some men with means
sufficient to properly develop them,
and Mr.. Schuckle is beginning to real
ize that life IS too short for him to ac-
complish this alone, and is willing to
give some party splendid show who
will go down there and examine The
goods.
