ready TO ship beside much Of lower
value. Ii shows high percentage
in copper with antIm0aIal and wire
silver. lie has since last October
developed the mine with 300 feet Of
tunnels and drifts and has demon
sirated either that the Star contact
extends across the basin or that
large ore bodies exist ON an entirely
different contact This has given
new courage to prospectors.
The N-lO-U-s contact dips under
the Black Warrior, patented claim
owned by HAYNES and McManus, W
W Roof OF Tin Cup and p j Me
Donald of Leavenworth, Kansas.
They have sunk shaft 81 feet near
