The Sullivan Trust Company has promoted ten mining
companies since February, 1906 All of these companies
when promoted were prospects that gave indication of be-
coming mneS under proper development.
OF the ten Jumping lack Manhattan, Stray Dog Man
haitian and Indian Camp Manhattan were promoted last
spring. Two of these, the Indian Camp and Stray Dog,
are now proven mines.
The other seven companies were promoted since the
18th of September The first of these the Eagles Nest
FairvieW, is now proved mine, and the FairveW Hail
stone, promoted last month and under development only
SIX weeks, is also proved mine. The other six remain
prospects, but what kind of prospects?
The Lou Dillon and Silver Pick Extension of GodfeId are
situated within 200 feet of the Mohawk, and double
compartment shafts are going down in these, with three
Both of these shafts have already encountered ore of
commercial value.
On our Furnace Creek South Extension which adioins
the great copper property of Patsy Clark, owned by the
Furnace Creek Copper Company we have already opened
up several of the veins that pass through both of these
properties and assays are being obtained that practically

been very marked, the average grade

since the pitch of the vein and its

mel. During the past week the forma-
ton Through which the tunnel is pass
ing has changed from red granite to
iron Gaping, and it is believed that a
comparatively small amount of work
at this point will open up the vein.
This tunnel is not to be used in the
scheme of permanent development, but
is merely corroborating the opinion of
the engineers and determining the pitch
of the vein.
Across the canyon the permanent
working shaft has been started. 1t is
now about thirty feet deep and will be
equipped with a complete hosting
plant which has already been ordered,
and which is expected to be ready for
delivery about the first of the year.
The plan of development includes the
sinking of a shaft TO depth of at
least 500 feet, which will because of the
site selected for the shaft, permit the
development of the veins at a depth
of between 500 and 900 feet. Farther
up the side of the mountain the third
vein has been located. passing from
the Copper Prince claim of the Fur
mace Greek Copper company and the

to be nearing each other, and there is
a possibility that they will meet, al
though sufficient work has not, yet been
performed TO determine whether or not
this junction actually occurs.
Nine men and a foreman are at work
on the property and this force will
be ample to sink the main working shaft
to a sufficient depth to warrant the
opening up of the first level, probably
at a depth of 800 feet. The property is
equipped with all the necessary tools
and supplies for present needs and it is
expected that it will be equipped with
the first hoist which is to be installed

drop from the summit to the Level OF
