MINES.'.

Of mining in the Goldfeld district
during the week past the Review has
the following report:
THE JUMBO.
AS the News reported last week the
Vermilyea ledge on the Jumbo from
which in a very short time the lessees
took over $40, 900 worth of ore has been
rediscovered very recently in the open
cut from which the pay rock was stopped
and the great wonder was that it was
overlooked in the sampling which fol
lowed the passing of the ~lessees. A
more thorough examination of the lead
this week has convinced the company
that in all probability it continues on
down to a great depth and it will be
thoroughly explored and traced to its
source. The lead is Is inches wide and
averages in value substantially above
81, 900. There is every indication that
this shoot will point the way to a con-
siderable body of ore. In addition to
this several new good looking shoots
have lately been discovered on the sur
face and will be thoroughly ~prospected.
At the 300-foot, 250-foot and 20O-foot
levels in the main workings the drifts
are all in good shipping ore and no
effort has yet been turned to extract
ing it.
Close to the Mohawk line the COM
pany is sinking a shaft expecting to
catch the great Mohawk ore bodies and
the chance of succeeding appears won
derfully good. The shaft is now down
about so feet and is being pushed
rapidly. Conditions all through the
Jumbo ground are at this time surpris'
ingly good. On the Jumbo Extension
several strong Lodges assaying as higf
as $500 have been traced toward anC
within 300 feet of the Jumbo line
From the course of the lodges a juno
ton at right angles will undoubtedl.
be discovered with the great Clermon
vein and the result should be SOM
tremendously big ore bodies.
The Jumbo has from the beginning
merited its name but it never looked s
big as it does at this time.
GREAT BEND.
There is a movement in Great Ben
that seems to indicate that somethin
is doing out in that country. Stock ha
recovered from the recent sympatheti
slump and is rising at the rate of 2 to
cents a day. There is heavy buying o
all sides, which seems to come from tn
general public. Inquiry at the office {
the corporation elicits no special il
formation beyond the fact that stead
improvement and increasingly large OF
bodies are showing up in the drifts, ar
the well known intention of extendir
work to a depth of 500 feet. Not
pound of ore is coming from the mil
except that which is incidental to ruI
ming the drifts, nor is it all likely tn,
any stopping will be done until a dep
of at least 400 feet is reached and leve
run out. The ore body at the 2O0-fo
level measures rs feet between wall
