ANOTHER STRIKE 8
ON THE VICTOR

Victor has made a second strike on its
acreage which Is claimed 10 be of equal
Importance with the one reported only a
short time ago. The uncovering was
made 900 feet north of the first discovery
on the main vein of the property. The
previous find was on the Olive ii. vein
belonging to a parallel system and
showed values as high as $3.50 in gold
to the ton. Owing to the blizzard,
which has been raging for the past few
days, only imperfect prospecting has
been done, but even this is said to be
lower, which will run into the thousands.
The main tunnel at the Victor is being
drive rapidly ahead. to get under this
rich shoot, and Il is thought in about so
feet further, the objective point will be
reached.
The Gibraltar has just broken into a
tense of high grade ore In the drift from
No. 1 tunnel. Superintendent Nelson
states that the material is identical in
character with the rich stun being un-
covered in the No. 2 stope of No. 2 tun-
mel. This ore as has been stated hereto
fore, runs as high as 1000 to the ton.
1t is now being hauled to the railroad
for shipment and will be sent to the
salt Lake smelters in a very few days.
The Leroy shaft at the Gibraltar Is
showing a change of formation in the
bottom, and 1t is thought another vein is
being approached. This shaft will ulti-
mately catch the big ledge of the
Tramps Consolidated.

foot shaft or it, and the management

the conclusion that it is an entirely solid
body of ore. The ore resembles very
much In character, the first discovery on
the Original Bullfrog, which started the
stampede in this direction, and it is
practically identical with the rich ore
