prove up At depth their recent suTAScc
find on their lease on the .dohawk No
1 claim of the Mohawk Mining & Mill
ing company's holdings II viii - re-
membered hat some three weeks ago
the ~lessees encountered a 2-foot ledge
in an open cut a short distance west CT
the shaft on which they obtained as
say returns as high as $500 in gold to
the ton. The find has been developed
sufficiently to prove that 1T has a dip
toward the shaft and it is now the
purpose to sink the latter to a depth OF
200 feet and to then crosscut to the
vein. The mineralized character of the
ledge offers much in the way Of promise
and it is generally expected that paw
grade viii follow the opening up of the
lead at the 200-foot point.
TENANT LEASE
That block of the Atlanta Mining
company estate under lease to Ten
nant and Mclaughlin, is being devcl-
oped at a depth Of IS feet through the
medium of crosscuts and drifts. The
cut to the south has just been com
pleted, and one to the north started
for the purpose of tapping the dixie
that outcrops a short distance east OF
the shaft. At surface values were OBJ
tained that warranted the exploration
of the vein at depth and the operators
feel confident that pay grade will be
found when the ledge is cut at the g.
foot point. In the west drift the ledge
is showing strong and true and returns
values of from $11 to SIS in gold to
the ton. The Tenant lease is consid-
cred one Of the best on Atlanta ground
and it's showing is excellent for the
depth attained.
SINKING WHITE HORSE SHAFT
Excellent progress is being made in
sinking the shaft on the White Horse
claim from its present depth of about
100 feet to the 15O-foot point where
prosecuting to the east for the ledge
is to begin. A number of stringers
have been encountered at different
points in the shaft, but nothing in the
way of values of moment have thus
far been obtained. It is believed,
however, that the drift from the 15O-
foot level will result in the locating of
shipping ore. The claim is located on
the eastern border of Goldfeld and is
one of the White Rock group in which
DR.. White Wolf owns an extensive in
terest.
SECURES VALUABLE LEASE
A block of Combination ground ly-
ing Just north of the Combination
Mines company mill has been secured
under lease by George Griffin and
Harry Jones who are preparing for ex-
~tensive exploration at depth. The
| holding is considered one of the most
promising ever yet rented out by that
corporation and with proper develop
ment should make a shipper. A good
bit of surface trenching has been done
and is to be followed in turn by the
sinking of a shaft and the running out
of levels at various points.
NO. IL BLOCK ON DAISY
With the completion of the cross
cutting of the ledge encountered at a
depth of so feet in the shaft on block
No. IL of the Daisy near Diamondfeld,
the work of proving it up to the east
and west is on. Thus far. results are
encouraging and lead the operators to
think that an ore shoot will. be found
without recourse to much further drift
ing. Plans are being made to lower the
shaft another so feet early in January
and when that result has been accom-
plished the ledge is to again be cross
cut to and drifted on.
SEEKING VALUES
Crosscuts and drifts are being run at
a depth of 40 feet on the Dese:t Rose
claim owned by the May Queen Mining
company with the object of Sc searching
out the ore shoot which yielded such
high grade gold values at thu l5-foot
level. A new shaft has beer sunk to
| the depth stated at a point vest of the
former shaft and operations are now
being prosecuted from It's bottom. The
May Queen holdings are located west
of that prolific producer Of bonanza
ore, the Sandstone, and comprise three
claims, the Yankee Doodle, Desert Rose
and May Queen.
FAIR LEASE
Good progress is being made in ex-
tending the crosscut started last week
from the bottom Of the 70-foot shaft on
the Fair lease on the Mohawk with ex
