TAYLoR LEASE
1t will be recalled that last wo.,.
Taylor and Robinson were engaged g.

ore uncovered, while apparently nor ~
a high grade, makes a distinctly good
showing, and certainly encourages the
view that a little drifting along the
ledge should disclose the pay ore.
With the purpose of such further ex.
~ploration the men this week commences
to drift from the other side of the shaft
in a n~ortheasterly direction, and at This
time have extended it in a distance ~
some s or 9 feet.
GOLDEN BOULDER
The Golden Boulder company has for
the past week been cutting through one
of its lodges, and on Wednesday, when
over IL feet in the vein, a body of good
looking sulphide ore was encountered
Already about a foot or two of this has
been cut through, but it is not yet
known what values the assay returns
show it to carry. The appearance of the
new find is very encouraging, and all
the rock taken out is being saved. We
should much like to rear of good deyel-
opments upon the Golden Boulder COM
pany's ground, and should this present
body prove of Importance, as seems
likely at this time of writing, 1t would
seem as though the camp will be able
to congratulate itself upon the posses
sion of a big and permanent producer in
the near future.
NEVADA HILLS LEASES
The big, new shaft of the Nevada
Hills Leasing company is being sunk at
a rapid gait. 1t is now about 70 feet
down, and though in a hard rock at
present, the two shifts should put 1t
down to the 100-foot level within the
next ten or twelve days. At this lower
level prosecuting will be commenced.
In view of the proximity Of this
ground to that which the Nevada Hills
company is actively developing and
from which 1T is taking some of the best
ore produced by the mine, the leasing
company has certainly a very hopeful
outlook before it, and it would be I'M
reasonable to suppose that any consid-
cradle exploration work will be neces-
sary in order to reach the ledge and to
open up a good grade of ore.
PYRAMID GROUP
Operations in the Pyramid companys
tunnel are progressing steadily, the
usual mount of rock being dumped as
before. The men are in more of a clay
formation this week. The streak OF
quartz which is being followed by re-
mains much the same, though 1t does
not apparently carry the values found
in it some weeks ago.
