The Daisy property at Diamond Field
the stock of which kited up from
$1.60 to $6 share on the San Fran
cisco Exchange a few days ago-is sus-
tanning the faith which Manager Frank
Horton has had in the property ever
since he took charge of it three years
ago.
The sulphide shoot Of rich ore which
was recently opened In the Graham
workings on this property holds good
and the shaft is going down to cross
dyke. the entire bottom being in pay
ore. When the junction of these two
ore bodies is reached 1t is believed that
bonanza ore will be exposed which will
justify all the value which has been
credited to the stock. In fact Horton
asserts that IL Is even now not cent
above where 1t should be.
He denies that any merger of the
Daisy and any of the adjoining proper
ties is under consideration. He also
denies that any one has obtained or
will obtain an option on controlling
interest in the property.
The Belcher Mines Syndicate is sack
ing rich ore in two places on its lease
on Daisy No. 2. These shafts are sew
enty feet apart on the same ledge and
will be connected by a drift which is
being run. A thirty horsepower hoist
is also being installed.
LOTUS Davis has secured a lease on
a block of ground at the east of the
Daisy No. 2 and has begun working
it. the ore showing values from the

A big strike has been made on the
Thanksgiving Gift of the Great Bend
Company, which is being worked un

Company. At depth of "a feet in the
shaft a streak of ore dipped into the
shaft. from which a picked sample
assayed $50 ounces in silver and $3.50
in gold.
This shaft lies within sixty feet of
the end line of Daisy No. and the
discovery will aid in boosting the
stock of mines lying in the Diamond
