THE YANKEE GIRL.
Tho Yankee Girl shaft has now
reached a depth Of 1876 feet IN a soma
formation that carries slight values
The shaft will be sunk without pros
Meeting until a greater depth is
gained. The Yankee Girl adjoins the
National Bank and will it is thought,
catch the same ledge.
THE cHINA-NEvADA.
Crosscutting at a depth Of 90 lee
has commenced in the shaft OF the
China-Neyada. The hanging wall OF
the porphyritic quartz ledge, 90 feet
wide on the surface, has not yet beer
encountered, but it is expected this VII
he cut any day now showing increased
values. Indications are favorable 1oi
a large body of at least a milling grace
of ore. Active work is being prose
cuted and an additional force of mer
will be employed as soon as practicaOie'
THE DENVER.
The recent find in the southern wlnzF
Of the Denver is proving even bettel
than was at first supposed. For som
time work has been carried on IN thl'
rich streak and it has been getting pet
ter every shift. Assays OF $500 AM
sA00 are common here. Some hav'
been taken as high as 5000. The loves
assays yet made yielded $50 per ton
AS before stated this find is OF grea
Importance to the company and to tn
district because of the fact that ]
shows the continuation of a highly I'm
portant ore body.
THE GIBRALTAR.
The rich strike reported last week
still in evidence at the Gibraltar. Tn

THE STARLIGHT.
The crosscut at the Starlight h
penetrated the ledge for a distance
70 feet and no foot wall has yet a
peared. The bore is going through
excellent grade of ore, patches
which mount into fancy figures. I
entire breast shows high grade mill
material, Supt. Smith says. The U
per tunnel is in 35 feet and the Ma
flower lead is expected now any day.
THE DIAMOND BULLFRoG.
The Diamond Bullfrog, situated
the northeastern slope of Laid mot
tain. is one of the fast Develop
properties of the district. 1t is work
through an incline shaft that dips wi
the ledge. The shaft is down 164 fe'
From the surface good milling ore b
been produced and many tons of ri
manganese quartz ore has been sack
and awaits shipment. At present I
shaft has run through the first P
streak. However, later developmel
indicate the advent of a second body
value, Crosscuts at the 1OO-foot lie
shows that the values hold for a gC
length in the ledge.
THE GOLDEN scEPTRE.
The shaft at the Golden Sceptre
reached a depth of 100 feet and g
values are coming in. They appear
stringers and it looks as if a ledge n
