MACKENZIE LEASE NO. a-MoHAwx

This lease, which adjoins the Hayes
Monnette and is really part of their
leasehold, has recently passed into the
hands of the Frances-Mohawk Mining

MINE GIVES UP
GOLDEN SECRETS
Daisy Makes Strike That Sets Everyone
Concerned by the Ears---Appears to

of the Camp

so long been threatening to come around.
is now about to do something ex-
traordinary. The owners of the Daisy
are jubilant over a recent find, and the
lucky lessees are cutting up high jinks.
One of the most sensational strikes in
the history OF the camp was made when
on Wednesday a 4-foot ledge was opened
up on the Brewer and Detch lease on the
Daisy. The ledge which was caught In
a crosscut to the east from the 60-foot
level is all good shipping ore and a
streak / foot wide is phenomenally rich
Before the lucky lessees were apprised
of the great find the foreman had ex-
tracted about half a ton of the ore which
1t is estimated will assay from $4,000
to $4,000 per ton. The crosscut was
being projected to connect with the new
shaft which is down about 63 feet and
the find was altogether unexpected. The
work of connecting the two shafts will
go right forward before stopping Is
actually begun. The new shaft, Superin-
tendent Blanchard states. will be car
ried on down to level with the main
workings. Superintendent blanchard
also says that the ledge will pass right
through the ground being exploited by
the company. The shaft being sunk by
the company is now down 125 feet. A
15-h.p hoist is on the ground and 1t is
the intention to sink to the 35o-foot
mark.

MOHAWK IN
A NEW RICH
ORE SHOOT
Full Width of Drift and Runs
Over $2OO---Said to be the
Best Thing Yet Encoun-
tered in the Mine

The Hayes-Monnette lease broke into
another ore shoot this week which was
entirely new and unexpected. Thurs
day it assayed on an average of s214.
and was clear across the drift. Yester-
day the drift looked even better. and
Mr.. Monnette says he believes that 1t is
the best thing so far developed in the
mine.
The output of the Hayes-Monnette
lease this past week has been 100 tons
per day. The average was $92. being
little lower than the week previous.
This is accounted for by the fact that
both floors in the upper level were taken
out and low grade mixed with the ore
ordinarily shipped. The $92 values rep
resents shipments from all workings of
the mine. The ore in the lower levels
holds up to the higher figure. and main
tains a uniform value There is a
streak in the lower level that runs up
wards of $4,000.
The new shoot in the lower level was
cut in drifting to connect with the
Mackenzie lease No. 2. The whole drift
is in ore.
Hayes and Monnette, realizing that
they have more ore than they can lift
from their two shafts within the period
of the life of the lease, have entered
into contract with Mackenzie and others
to lower the shaft in the latter's lease
to the 40O-foot point, run under the
Hayes Monnette ground, and help them
hoist their ore from the greater depth.
The new shaft on the Hayes-Mon-
nette lease is down 100 feet. Work has
stopped there to wait the arrival of the
new hoist, which was shipped from
Beloit, Wis, yesterday. This gives this
lease three hoists; one, 15-h.p.; another,
25-h.p. and still another 40-h.p. A 12-
machine drill plant was shipped from
Denver on Thursday. Four drills will
be used by the Lord lease. four by the
Hayes-Monnette and four by Mackenzie
The manager for the railroad ar
ranged with the leasers on the Mohawk
yesterday to run switch to the mines,
to be used Jointly by Hayes-Monnette
and Mackenzie, the latters two lease
paying two-thirds the expense.
Yesterday the Curtis Brothers, Uri
B. and J. s., purchased the Piemantee
lease for $4,000. This lease is in the
southeast corner of the Mohawk ground
and near the Mackenzie and Truett
leases, and also the es-Monnette.
The new owners will sink the present
shaft which is down rs feet, to the
depth of 200 feet. and 15-horse power
gasoline engine will be installed.

Great Enthusiasm Among the
Operators Who Are Certain
They Will Get Ore With

Enthusiasm around the Atlanta Min
ing company's ground runs high. An
enormous amount of work Is going for

intendent Lynch are forging ahead on
the shaft which is now lis feet deep and
will be continued to the 3o0-foot mark.
In addition to this there are IL sets of
lessees on the ground, IA of whom ar,
actually at work and 3 have just had
their applications granted. These new
interests will begin work at once.
On Tuesday a new 20-h.p. gasoline
hoist was unloaded at the shaft If Cold
field Century company's lease The
shaft is now about so feet deep and is
in contact and vein matter. The show
ing is very good. 1t is the intention of
this company to go to the 250-foot level
at least.
On the Bruner lease a depth Of so feet
has been attained and with depth Super
intendent Lynch calculates this shaft
will encounter the st. Ives lead.
The Holbrook lease has sunk 80 feet
and has just installed whim and will
sink to the 200-foot mark before cross
cutting. The lease has large body OF
low grade ore exposed.
The Blake lease is down about 10 feet
and is prosecuting for the vein which
appears on the surface. If the values
at this depth appears to warrant it ma
chinery will be installed and the leas-
ers will go after ore in good earnest.

idea of it's width can be had. At depth
of so feet the rock changes from the
oxides to the sulphide form. The show
ing is very strong and the rock through

for some days before the lucky strike
was made that the working was enter
ing a formation much harder than had
formerly prevailed. On Saturday after
noon last after the shots had been set
off the foreman suspecting they were
entering a shoot, had the first shovelful
assayed with the result that values of
s195 pere returned. Since then about
80 tons of ore have been stopped which
will probably average from $50 to $50.
The pay shoot which is on the 140-foot

afternoon three hundred pounds OF
picked ore was brought in and de-
posted in the vaults of the John 8. Cook
bank.
1t is said this ore will run $4,000 to
the ton. In the party which inspected
the strike were several of the most
prominent operators in camp who pro-
nounced the find in some respects the
biggest thing the camp has ever known.
Five assays were taken on ore from
different parts OF the strike yesterday.
The ore was an average from the vari-
Gus places sampled. and the assays ran
as follows: No. /, $1.040.40; No. 2,
s133.60; No. 3. $3.50; No. A, s2.40S; No.
s, $132.S0. This latter sample was
taken from rock that was being thrown

but grab sample was run and much to
the surprise of all, gave excellent re-
turns.
The superintendent at the mine
brought in some selected samples last
night from 2h-inch streak which was
almost solid gold; the rock in several
specimens being held together by
threads of yellow metal.

The Mohawk Leasing & Development
company, owning what is known as the
Truett lease, has it's new electric hoist
installed. 1t has been running for about
a week with entire satisfaction. The
shaft is down now to the depth of about
1876 feet and will be continued to the 200
foot point. Crosscutting will begin at
the 150-foot level and the drift will be
headed directly towards the Hayes &
Monnette shaft. At $50 feet, Hayes &
Monnette made their great strike. 1t
would seem that the Truett lease has a
positive certainty of striking the same
rich Hayes & Monnette vein at this
depth The 150-foot point will be
reached within the next few days.

wonderfully large amount of stopping
ground. The entire allotment of treas
ury stock, 100000 shares, is still in the
company's hands and on the ground is
from 5000 to 5000 tons of good milling
ore. OF this the company owns about
one-half. So far 5000, 900 has been re-
ceived by the company as royalties from
various leases. 10 per cent dividend
was declared from this sum and the
balance was expended on the mill and
general development.
Owing to inability thus far to decide
upon the nature of treatment for the ore
the mill has not been completed. Until
this is decided it is probable that the
high grade ore will be shipped regularly
to Salt Lake.
