RICHFIELD, Sept. 1.-Those who are
guiding development work at the Signal
Peak mine, near tho base OF Mt. Bclknap,
| are In high and hopeful spirits, To
tap ut depth fine surface outcroppings.
q tunnel wac begun three years ago.
| Ever since reaching n distance OF 800
| feet the FIRST OF these lodges has been
| expected. When, however, something
over 1000 feet had been driven with mono
of the big leads exposed, there began to
arise some doubt and fear as TO whether
1t was likely TO get the Lodges at depth.
Considerable encouragement was de-
rived recently from the. report of sur
veyor that 1t was not probable that the
veins would be tapped under ut least
100 feet, and the management became
more hopeful. Now the report comes
from the scene OF operations that a
change has come In the formation, a
change which Is the usual indication of
proximity OF ore bodies. Under this
stimulating influence efforts have been
redoubled. and every day the report Is
expected here of a very important strike
at this property.
Anxiously Awaited.
No less anxiously awaiting develop
ments are the directors OF the Richfleld
Mining and Milling company from their
property in Deer Creek canyon.
A very hard formation has been en-
countered, which is believed to be the
Gaping OF the main vein which the COM
pany is after, vein which. In the old
Butler Beck property, was In its day a
the operators felt justified in erecting
mill. The vein disappeared at slip"
and was never recovered.
The RichHeld Mining and Milling COM
pauy has been seeking to recover
this lead behind the fault, and every
indication now Is that 1t is about to be
successful. The company has also been
prosecuting work in another place lower
down. and has reached vein eight feet
In width carrying values Of over $40 per
ton,
l.. H. Outzen has Just returned from
examination OF new discovery on
the Outzen group OF claims. 1t has
not been developed enough yet to know
much about IT, except that 1t appears
TO be very rich right at the grass roots
and is about twelve feet wide. 1t is
along the same big vein which was ex-
plored last season on the property, and
which gave high values.
Another Good Showing.
Under the direction Of James Long ac-
tive operations have been resumed on the
properties OF the Consolidated Gold De-
velopment company. among which is the
famous Mammoth. But a short distance
from the mouth Of a tunnel near the
cabins q vein Is being followed which
pans freely across It's entire face. Mr.
Longs efforts for the next year will be
devoted to proving up" the property
for big working tunnel, which will be
started TO tap the lodes at great depth.
Four hundred feet Will be added TO the
Holland tunnel under a present contract
In this distance 1t is expected to strike
lead in the Deer Park ground. This
is the beginning of a systematic develop
ment of big group of properties
held by tho Kimberly Mining company,
with w F. Snyder at the head. and en-
