STRIKE ON KENDALL
Eighty dollar ore is being mined in the workings on block No $ o
the Kendall The snd IA made a few days ago in the upraise IN tn oo
foot tunnel and there is every indication that values will remain per
mapent and steady. The lessees are engaged in breaking down the rock
and are preparing to send out a small shipment Values If better a
5000 arr being obtained on a narrow streak of the quartz but the average
grade mes al the figure mentioned.
PROVING UP CoNoUERoR GROUND
There is every reason to believe that scury and Goodrich, leasing o.
the Bonanza claim of the Conqueror company, will develop their holding
into a shipper and that the decidedly satisfactory result will be accom-
nI;sbe5 beforo many davs Thew are drifting on a well defined lead at a
depth of less than so feet with gold values holding firm at about $40 {
the ton. The work of proving up the find is now o aud AS it proceeds
he vein natter is hardening and is widening nut somewhat. Assays have
been obtained Is high as SITS to the ton, but a they YER secure' 'n
picked specimens. car hardly be termed stable values
STRIKE IN THE PIUTE
Three hundred dollar ore is being sacked at the Piute claim, and
while the pay streak is narrow it is yet sufficiently n TO peru"
of its being mined successfully. A shipment of small proportions Is 70
be made within the next few days, the rock to be treated at a ioca mill
The find ws made in the shaft at q depth of go feet and thu vein matter
is said to be showing its full width with but n wall lin sight. n or
of drifting ON the ore body is o progressing with favorable results, as
the lead is hardening and values are becoming nor stable az M vel
extended. The Piute is located u and one-haif miles asst If thu Dixie.
PROVING UP COMMONWEALTH
To find a oe shoot at any old depth is satisfaction a plenty for
the average miner, but when he locates n practically at surface I'M
time has arrived to shake hands with himself. winkler, Chute and asso-
ciates are in the latter class and are sacking orea att the nominal depth d
IS feet. Not content with that large element of luck, however, they re
o preparing to handle their product without recourse to hosting. n
shaft in which the high grade values are being mined is located OF a
steep side hill and the operators are 10Y engaged in driving a tunnel to
connect Herewith. They have but q few feet to drift and TO she
greater portion of the distance the bore will be Elm the nature OF a n open
cut. As soo as it is completed the product will be transported to day
light by that means Ore is being sacked daily and a shipment Is o tne
taph. Average values rule strong at 500 per ton in the 4 feet of v@n
matter showing in the 14foot lead, Quite al amount o. 1926 ore is asa
being sacked.
PEER LEASE ON FLORENCE
Indications of a decidedly favorable nature are showing in the Peer
and Pugh lease n the Cornishman and lead o the belief that al orr
body containing pay values is nea at hand. Rumors of a strike of
magnitude in their holding have been prevalent this week but ared eniei
by the lessees. Mr. Peer states that yesterday he obtained a string of
coarse coors from a panning of the ledge matter and that like results
arc being obtained by his foreman, but says that IS yet all efforts to
locate by assay the streak of pay have been frutless. He states further
that the paintings apparently demonstrate the presence somewhere in
the lead Of values of from 500 to 800 to the ton and is of the Opinion
that further development will result in their being revealed Tn. ledge
was encountered a few days agoin the shaft at a depth of SO feet, it hav-
ing dipped in from the east at n angle of about As degrees At 80 feet
the entire bottom is showing vein matter and the character of the
drllngs indicate that the foot wall is being neared. The ledge has
north and south trend and presents all the appearance of containing
stable values. It is the purpose of the lessees to drift along its extent
and tbs they believe will result IN the finding of a N IRE shoot Of con
sequence.
{. o. D. DEVELOPMENT
1t is hard drilling in the breast of the drift being extended to the
eat from the bottom OF the 50-foot shaft o. the C. o. D. property, but
Lessee Almer Lowden has faith in the holding and believes he a place
it n a cash on delivery basis. Lowden is encouraged in his efforts by the
strike o Sl5 or made last week, a n account of which was published in
the columns of The News and intends % continue development until such
time az he has thoroughly demonstrated the value of the territory. At
present he is making no effort to explore the recent discovery, but is
instead extending the drift for the purpose of gaining contact with the
lead which ats surface returned values as high as $4,000 to the ton. Some
of this rock was remarkably rich and showed free gold in quantity. A
little ore is being broken down in the pay streak now showing and a small
shipment is to be made in the courseo of a few days. Lowden has n
of the most comprehensive leases o. G. o. d. territory, and is practically
free to work it as he may see fit. He has a 500foot block which ws
secured at a time when little in the way of development had been done
in that vicinity and as the lease has v months yet to run the chances
of his making good on the proposition are bright. The vein matter now
being penetrated is composed of brecciated quartz and is hard as flint.
Progress therefore is necessarily slow, but with each day development
encouraging results ire being obtained.
