The company has started a new
shaft on the east side of the road,
where a good drill strike was made
last week.
The Mission Mining Company
has leased to NJ. Johannes and
others of St. Louis ten acres in the
southwest corner of the Mission
forty, and work of development will
begin at once.
The Hobo is still the admiration
of the district. Nothing like it was
ever seen before. The dirt does not
decrease in richness at all. The
lack and lead are intermingled all
over the drift.
The Labadie boys are coming in
to lead in their shaft on the Xavier
land. The shaft is only 20 feet
deep, but they began taking out
lead last Friday. The ground is
getting better every shot.
The NJ. X. & T., is making a big
output this week. The dirt from
this mine will compare with any OF
them. Superintendent McRuer says
first class concentrating plant
will be built this summer.
The Sunny Side is making its reg
ular ten tons of clean jack pei

soon as the air drift to the Isley
shaft is completed. The dirt is now
being hoisted from the No. 2 shaft
The F. F. F. Company is sinking

of the Coosotte land. They are
drifting, and II the dirt holds outas
good as Il is now will build a mill
on their property. They have a ten.
acre lease on this forty in the
southwest corner of il.
Rice & Bingham, who are sink
ing a shaft on the Ben Dardenne
land, east of the Sunny Side, are
getting into a wonderfully rich
body of ore. They drilled the
ground before starting the shaft,
and found rich ore, but the dirt
from the shaft is showing up better
than did the drill cuttings.
Sumner, King * Hamilton, who
have been drilling on the Stafford
land, half mile west of the Mis-
sion mine, have made their second
good drill strike. The ore was
struck at SO feet and continued
good to los feet. This drill hole is
a twin to the first one, both nc to
thickness and richness of the ore
body.
The NJ. X. & T., is going to de-
velop into one of the best producers
in the whole district. This mine 10
in a basin, and the whole basin
seems to be full of ore, both dis.
seminated and free. The shaft has
been sunk into the ore body AZ feet
and the end is not yet. The last
ore taken out seems to be richer
than any of the ore found higher
up. The water is strong, but the
pumps easily keep it down. If the
bottom of the ore is ever found ii
will be drifted on, and we presume
il will some day.
The Mission Mining Co., has been
doing lot of drilling south of the
mill, and in every drill hole big
run of lead has been found. A new
shaft is to be sunk on one of the
drill holes right away. The cut
tings in three of the drill holes were
exceptionally rich for over twenty
feet. The Mission has been getting
very rich lead dirt in the drifts
running south from the mill shaft
for some time, and the drilling was
done to see how big the lead ore
body is. Somes of the holes drilled
are 500 feet away from the mill
shaft, so it will be seen that the lead
ore body is big one.
| One of the most interesting
strikes in the camp has been made
on the Geo. Redagle land, south of
the Sunny Side. A shaft was sunk
in the center of what appears to be
an old crater. The crater, or circle
of rocks, is about 200 feet in diane
ter, and it looks as if the rocks has
been thrown up by an eruption OF
come kind perhaps hundred years
ago. We have heard people cay
there is mineral there for the past
% years, but not being able TO see
how they knew anything about il,
we paid no particular attention to
their remarks. At the present time,
however, a shaft is being sunk and
the deeper it goes the richer is the
ore taken out. The first ore found
in the shaft was lead, and under the
lead jack began to come in. Today
every bucket of dirt taken out is
being saved. The Redeagle shaft
bids fair to be good one.
