All mining propositions in any near
our city are being steadily worked
along the line of development. Some
drilling is in progress, but shaft sink
ing is the principal feature at the
present time. AS it takes weeks to
put down shaft of any reasonable
depth, it will be some little time yet
before definite results can be given of
a majority of the prosects. The Tribune
will aim to keep the public rightly
posted.
Eighteen additional trans and buckets
were put in by the Tripoli company
within the last week, making thirty-six
in all. This will aid very much in car
rying on the work at the mine.
Linden Southwest: The sensation of
the week has been the jack discoveries
in the drill hole being put down on the
Tredinnick land, about $50 feet north of
the Wisconsin office. First the drillers
went through a six inch sheet in the
gray rock, then two inch sheet in the
gray rock, and then six inch sheet in
the gray rock; then again Tuesday
forenoon, another six inch sheet in the
gray rock! When this was written
there were still twelve to fifteen feet of
ore-bearing rock to drill through, in
Guiding the blue rock and glass rock.
Even Linden has been stirred over the
discoveries made. 1t puts every strike
in the entire Wisconsin district in the
shade. The drilling company is largely
local. In all, it is owned in nine shares
the leases running to P. Whitman at
Highland but as we understand it, six
shares are owned in Linden. 1t is likely
that shaft will be commenced in few
days.
The miners at the 0. X. Mining COM
pany's shaft struck . fine vein Of black
jack last Saturday which continues to
get better the deeper they go. They
are not down to where the ore was
struck by drill, but expect to reach it
some time this week. From the guam
tity and quality of ore now taken out
this should prove one of the leading
mines of the district. It's prospectus is
interesting reading. Here it is:
1.-THE 0. X. Mine is located on the
Ole Knuteson farm, described as fol-

and the sel4 of ne14, sec. 81, town 5,
range east, in the town of Mifflin, Iowa
county, Wis. tits one-fourth mile north
of the village of Mifflin and four miles
northeast of Rewey, station on the
c. & N. w. R'y, and three miles west
of Harker, station on the Mineral PIT.
& N. R'y. 1t is also one-half mile rorth-
east of the Grunow mine which is big
producer, one-fourth mile northwest of
the Slack mine, while the Mineral Point
mine, the Peacock and the Squirrel are
only short distance to the east. The
old Penitentiary mine, which has been
in operation for the past sixty years, is
located one-half mile to the south and
still produces large quantities of ore.
The earlier period was entirely top work
ing, bu5 they are now working on the
lower levels. The Cushman & Nolan
mine, the cambridge, the Sunset, the
Sunrise, the Cokerville, the Dolphin
and the Bickford mines are all within
radius of two miles to the west.
"The o. K mine is located in coun-
try where the ground has been thor
oughly tested, and shows heavy deposits
of the richest zinc and lead ores in the
district. The mines in this community
are being operated daily, and visit 70
