ouI OH Tile SdHustOTIli, DioCk -, titN
are now taking out the richest ore ever
taken from this remarkable piece of
ground. Ore running $1,000 to SIC, 900
a ton was opened yesterday. The streak
is small, to 8 inches, and is so literally
alive with gold that in the light Of a
candle it flashes from the crevice. 1t
cannot be known how much there is of
this, but half ton was lifted to the sur
face in few hours.
The working incline shaft is now
down 40 feet-and the 50-foot level will
be reached i'm few days. The hoist
frame is now up and the engine and
equipment will be on the ground, and it
is expected will be in commission by the
18th.
On the Davis lease on the Kruger they
seem to have passed through the rich
shoot first found on the surface and an
attempt is nov being made to recover it
to the east of the present shaft.
The Stimler Fraction strike is some
thing of question, though, though they
are finding good values at every point
where the ledge has been stripped.
Dixie Has $4,000 Ore.
Ore worth over $1,000 a ton has been
Dixie, on the 20 foot level. The strike
was made Wednesday and since that
time the showing has developed into one
in camp. Some time ago there was
some prospecting on this level and val
ues from $500 to over $500 per ton en-
countered. AS the ledge dipped out of
the shaft at this point, however, the
nI 10 Inw
to a depth of 100 feet. Later, it was de-
termined to drive drift from the 10
foot, with the result as above stated.
The lead has been opened distance of
ID feet from the shaft and shows full
face OF quartz, heavy in sulphides. This
development work has also proved that
the ledge, which appeared to have
broken over at the 20, again straightens
and it will now be little difficulty in
opening it up from the lower level. De-
velopment work will be continued in the
upper drift to extensively open up the
shoot where the high values have been
found. A shipment is in preparation
for market.
Florence Shipment.
The Florence yesterday sent out a
second for the week. The output OF the
mine is averaging over 90 tons a week of
ore that returns close to $500 per ton.
The mine continues to improve in show
ing as development progresses and is
undoubtedly one of the greatest proper
ties in the country.
Another Strike on Piedmont.
On the Myer lease, No. 7, on the Pied
mont claim, Columbia mountain, rich
strike was made yesterday. The rock
shows gold in plenty, and paintings
made indicate values well up in the
hundreds. 1t is not known how large
the ledge is, as the opening made is only
feet deep.
The Atlanta Group.
Paintings OF surface dirt obtained in
trenching on the south end of the Union
Jack claim, belonging to this company,
Indicate the proximity OF an ore chute
though, up to the present writing, its
exact location is not yet known. Men
are also at work on the Atlanta and
Black Bear claims and panning rock has
been obtained in the last few days from
ledge which is evidently the continua-
ton of the Jumbo vein, as it is only
about 300 feet south OF the Jumbo end
line.
Work is also being prosecuted on the
north end OF the Union Jack next to the
St. Ives claim, and on the St. Ives vein
where drift from the bottom of the up
per shaft has been extended to cut a
vein which shows on the surface.
Stringers OF quartz and vein matter are
beginning to come in in the last round
of holes, according to Mr.. Draper, the
Atlanta superintendent.
Messrs. Weber and Ish, the owners,
have not yet completed the organization
of the company owing to the absence of
Mr.. Weber, who, however, is expected
back shortly.
The Golden Butte.
On the property OF the Golden Butte
Mining company the work of driving
and shaft sinking has progressed
very rapidly. The tunnels are 22S, 248
and 80 feet in length, and one shaft s5
feet deep. Two of the tunnels and shaft
passed through large bodies of gold bear
ing quartz and porphyry.
The Blue Quartz.
In sinking shaft on the Blue Quartz
>'OA' company hiAS ASb,S VI
gold bearing quartz was cut at a depth
of So feet, resembling very much the
rich quartz. There are three
shafts on this property, 4S, 81 and 50
feet deep.
Supplies for kawich.
Six wagons with men and supplies
have been sent to Kawieh by the Ka-
wich Gold Mining company. Three
shifts are to be employed in the devel-
opment OF the company's property and
work will be prosecuted with the great
est possible dispatch.
DeadwOod Lets Contract.
The Deadwood Mining company of
Lida has let contract for the sinking
of 5O-foot shaft. The shaft will be
put down on the ledge that has been
opened at surface and which shows such
promise of developing into an important
