getting come very rich dirt in its

this writing the shaft 10 still In ore
and the shaft is now IS feet deep
I. C. Sproull 10 superintendent OF
the company, aud gives his per-
sonal attention to the development
work. We understand the Indiana
Company also has a very rich strike
in it's Eureka No. 2 at Sturgeon,
Mo. Our informant says they have
a face of lead, silicate aud jack ~
feet in thickness. The company
seems to be very fortunate in lite
operations.
The Last Chance, belonging to
Goodwin Bros, lie going to be one
of the very best properties in the
north camp, we believe. In this
shaft lead and jack were found at
the same time, and the dirt 10 ex.
ceedingly rich. The shaft was sunk
by William Chew, an old exper-
fenced miner, and he pronounces
the dirt as rich 40 any he ever cav.
This property lies just northwest
of the Sunnyside mines, and is a
little closer to this city than any
other mine. The Goodwin Bros.,
expect to drive drifts and fully de-
velop the property this summer.
The Last Chance 10 on q ten-acre
lease of the Abrams land, which 10
noted for it's uniform richness in
ore. In sinking the shaft about IF
teen feet of very rich dirt was pene.

that the ground is az rich az 1t 10
believed to be, and there 10 not the
doubt that IL will, the Goodwins
will build a modern mill. It 10
thought there 10 enough ore under
lying the Last Chance lease to run
a mill for a number of years.
