ue to uncover good bodies of lead and
jack.
Massive chunks of high grade mixed
ore are still being hoisted from the John
| Ross mine in this city.
The next thing in order at the Easy
Money is the cleaning up of the large
dump by the Jig process.
There'll be something doing in the
near future at the Liverpool as the new
mill and other machinery will soon be
| installed.
The Homesite folks still continue to
work on good body of lead at great
er depth that that ore has usually been
found in this vicinity.
At the Argal mine drifting is being
done on a run of disseminated ore about
eighteen inches thick. The same improv-
es as the workmen advance.
But little is reported from the Lille
other than that good ore is being taken
out every day, and the rich dump is
growing larger with each day.
Results from shaft sinking at the
Essex are awaited with considerable in
terest. A good mine in that quarter
would be most gratifying to large
number.
In shaft sinking at the Chief of Po-
lice good body of mixed lead and jack
was uncovered in the green rock. This
was unexpected, as the drill showed ore
only above and below the glass rock,
points the miners have not yet reached.
Prospects at the Temby are very en-
couraging. The main shaft is down 1872
feet, where is found disseminated jack
from two to four feet thick Astounding
in seemingly unlimited area. This prop
erty also shows up lead and copper of
good quality.
Good cuttings have been found in
every one of the nine holes drilled on
the Jackson farm, in Laxey settlement,
under the direction of Mineral Point
parties. They will now proceed with
shaft sinking This property was "spot-
ted by the late Richard Kennedy as
likely to prove good.
The Hazel Patch mine continues to
improve An eight inch sheet of jack,
the pure stuff, is being worked on at
present. When the buildings in course
of construction are completed and the
machinery contracted for is installed,
the Hazel Patch will be one of the best
equipped mines in the district.
The fact that mine operators are pay
ing from $500 to $3.50 per day for
practical miners and are employing all
the men they can get at these figures,
is proof that operations are being car
ried on in this district more extensively
than ever before The output also goes
to prove the great amount of work be-
ing done.
The sensation the past few days in
local mining circles is the discovery at
the Peacock, Il ated near Mifflin and
controlled by Mineral Point parties.
Snugly tucked away at depth Of SO
feet, and underneath the glass rock,
workmen found last Saturday morning
bed of almost solid jack ranging from
six to sixteen inches thick. The term
almost solid jack" is used because of
quite a sprinkling of tiff. Specimens are
on exhibition in the window of Hurlbut
& Co. s jewelrX store, this city. They
are grand to behold; no wonder stock
holders feel elated
