bonanza MOUNTAIN :

bonanza MOUNTAIN a good
strike has been made in shaft No. 2, at
the Bonanza Mountain. A streak OF
high grade, eight or nine inches wide'
and carrying an average value OF IL
ounces in gold to the ton, or $3.50, has
come in. Picked samples of the ore
have gone as high as $3.50. The rich
stuff is being sacked for shipment. This
shaft was only recently started and has
not attained a depth of over 80 feet.
shaft No. 8 is down $50 feet and cross
cuts are being carried both ways. Any
round of shots is expected to break INTO
the Hobo-Eclipse vein.
MONTGOMERY oUARTETTE-A new
ledge has been found on the montgomery
Quartette, that pans we'll at the sur
face. 1t has been traced for 100 feet
at grass roots. The formation is a
quartz and manganese, and well dehne
1t runs on a line about 500 feet from
the mouth of the present tunnel, which
is in about 200 feet.
sTEINwAY-The north drift from
the 2OO-foot level of the S%teinway, at a
distance of $50 feet in, has cut into a
big mineraIized dyke which shows a
COnSlueTdDlc diIlOuHt VI liz 49,
pan. The material is quartz and man
ganese and gives good promise or fu-
ture production. The south drift is in
155 feet. superintendent Wilson is
crowding the work as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
DAIsY-Further development of the
recent strike made at the Daisy is re-
vealing a more satisfactory mineral
condition than was at first anticipated
The rich ore appeared at the lSO-foot
point in the shaft. The highest values
shown here were $177.60 to the ton, in
gold. This strike was detailed in last
weeks issue. Superintendent McCarvil
was in from the property yesterday and
reports that at LAG feet the ore has be-
come sulphide in character, thus assur-
ing depth and permanency and that 1T
is vastly richer in contents. The vein
shows 125 feet on the surface and was
caught in the shaft at the 100-foot level.
1t has practically Strengthened up, and
cannot be cut by the shaft until great
depth is attained. 1t is the intention or
the management to continue the shaft
to the 2O0-foot level before any cross
cutting is undertaken.
GOLDEN sCEPTRE-A big change
has taken place in the shaft at the Gold
en- Sceptre, and the rock now coming in
shows an average of $40 to the ton, with
picked samples going much higher. The
shaft is down 1S5 feet, and the pay min
eral is a brownish tale, about 10 inches
in width. Superintendent Murphy says
the property never looked so well. The
Hobo ledge is expected any day in the
lower tunnel. The company has ordered
in timbers and other supplies by the
car load lot, and it is proposed to prose-
cute development on a larger scale than
ever before.
MAYFLowER-A new interest, aside
from the phenomenal advance in its
stocks within the past few days, has
arisen at the Mayflower. A vastly richer
pay zone in this well known property
has been opened near Starlight ground.
After considerable prospecting in the
vicinity superintendent Robert Smith
discovered a number of quartz seams,
evidently dispositions in fractures of the
Gaping material. These carried en-
couraging values. Selecting a favorable
point $500 feet northerly from the main
working shaft of the property and 60
feet from where the Mayiower ends on
the Starlight, he started an incline shaft
on what later investigation to all APP
pearances has shown to be the foot wall
of the vein. At slight depth the wall
casing gave a return of $2G in gold to
the ton. 1t a depth of six feet the vein
appeared in place and an average of the
bottom of the shaft yielded SAC. Later
