it a world beaten, and the man
.I1Stw, " acquainted with the
maus ~ae does not give the the dis
let the stamp of his approval when he
beholds the enormous lodges, the vast
extent of the mineral area and the mani
fold possibilities OF wealth.
THE RUSH.
Prof. G. E. Bailey, consulting engineer
of the Rush has installed a diamond drill
outfit on the property, and is prepared
to thoroughly prospect the rro,ed.
The systematic development bsiIsy
adopted by this company is revealing
satisfactory mineral conditions, and
rapid progress Ii being made. The
crosscut tunnel Which was started some
time ago east from the Yolo, a few
days ago encountered an excellent ore
shoot which gives good returns in the
pan. This crosscut is now in about 40
feet and is the first lateral investigation
engaged in on the south end Of the
mountain. The shaft at the Index claim
is being advanced steadily, and every
shot reveals improved naturalization.
BLACK SPAR.
The shaft on the Black Spar claim has
advanced to the 75-foot point, and 60
feet of this distance is timbered. The
ground now being penetrated is very
easily worked, thus rendering develop
ment progress rapid. All the mineral
SO far encountered by the shaft shows
a good quality of ore and pans well. At
the 100 level a crosscut will be carried
to the Hanging wall, and it is expected
to encounter very much better values
in this locality, as ~prospection hereto
fore has shown excellent returns in the
vicinity Of this wan. Work is proceed
ing also on the 1smithian claim, where
a shaft was recently started, and it is
the purpose to send this urR9sr cover as
rapidly as possible, Before the hot
weather begins. On the whole the
property is showing up remarkably We.
and present Indications are of the. most
satisfactory nature.
MAYFLowER,
At the Mayfower, a erosscut satrted
east some time ago from the hanging tc
the footwall, has advanced beyond 4C
feet and continues in ledge matter
The shaft is now down 125 feet, tim
bered for the entire distance. In ad
dition to this work, there is a drift
north along the hanging wall from th'
100 level, for a distance Of 40 feet. AL
the workings show a good milling grad
of ore. Paintings from every part o
the mine return values. Surface md
cations show a vein width eff over 20
feet, and the lead has been prcspecte
prospected over 1000 feet The striking
characteristic of the Mayfaower is a
immense body of high-graae milling ore
average assays of which run from So
to $40. 1t is the Intention Of the mar
agement to proceed with the inelin
shaft to the 200 level and grosscu
again from this point.
GOLDEN ScEpuER.
]. C. Niven of Nivea & Price of Sa
Lake, consulting engineer for the Go
den Scepterpeople, was there this weel
to make an investigation of the pro-
erty. Mr.. Nevin states that the sha.
is showing good sSrihgers in 'thebotton
with an improvement as depth is a

expected that sinking will proceed mu
