shipping Grade Pertains in Many OF the
Leases, Gold Values Are Am-

Next to Manhattan. Palmetto is the
prospector's Mecca at this time. and the
latter camp presents many mining at
fractions which entitle IL to public
favor. The town of Palmetto is enjoy
ing a rapid growth and the mines are all
improving with development.
The Callahan-Sweeney-Frank lease is
showing up favorably and a few days
ago the crosscut run out from the bot
tom of the 52-foot shaft reached con-
tact with the ledge. The formation is
much more solid thar where the vein
was opened at surface and the pan
nings indicate a very appreciable adj
vance in the gold grade.
At a depth of - feet the Hooper
and Mass shaft is showing 3 feet
of ore having an average gold value OF
sos the ton. The vein is standing al
most perpendicular n is well dehned.
Thirty feet away the operators on the
Little Pearl are mining shipping rock
at q depth OF 10 feet.
The Combination shaft being sunk by
Harwood and associates has reached a
depth of so feet and a crosscut is now
being run out for the ledge. A whim is
TO be installed within q few days.
Lynch and Lyon are lowering their
shaft with all possible speed and at the
75-foot point a station is 10 be cut and
crosscuts run out to two leads which
give encouraging assays at surface.
The Gillian shaft on the Golden Gate
claim is down 50 feet from which point
orosseats are being run to the vein
system. IN the south cut a ledge has
been encountered about ~ feet IN
width which returns average gold
values of better thar s10O per ton. The
north drift is entering the mineralized
gone and value are increasing as it is
extended.
The Reno claim is proving to be one
of the most valuable in the camp. Wade
and Maunsell are in charge of the prop
erty and are pushing work rapidly. The
vein is being followed down in two
places and in both instances shipping
values prevail. Surface cuts are also
being run with satisfactory results A
hosting plant has been ordered and
will be installed n in operation with
in the next thirty days.
Evans and Fem have lowered their
shaft on the Colder Gate claim a depth
of 3S feet and in the bottom is exposed
a 3-foot ledge, IS inches of which car
ries high grade shipping values. The
balance OF the rock is of good milling
grade. At a depth of 20 feet in the
Nesbitt and Frank lease OF the Golden
Gate the lessees are mining shipping
ore and are preparing a consignment.
On the Burlington, Wade and Maun-
sell have abandoned work in the shaft
and are running out a crosseut at a
depth of 100 feet. They expect to tap
the ledge within IS feet Of drifting.
Williams and Hooper have located
two streaks Of ore in the bottom of
their 4G-foot shaft on the Golden Gate
property and each returns an average
gold value of close to 500 per ton.
Dave Burkhart has sunk a shaft 2S feet
on his Golden Gate holding and expects
to cut the ledge at the 50-foot point.
The erosscut tunnel on the Mauli,
Cornell lease on the Warsaw is in 10
feet and within 90 feet more of drifting
viii tap the lead at a depth of 75 feet
from the surface. The same vein was
prospected at a depth of l. feet in a
shaft and returned assays as high as
$500 per ton.
