Shaft sinking at the Essex amounts
to upwards of fifty feet.
Glass rock eighteen feet thick has
been encountered by drillers on the
Thos. Hartford farm.
The putting up of buildings and in
stalling of machinery is the order of OPP
erations at the Sunnyside mine this
week.
Drilling on the Jackson farm in Lax
ey settlement by Mineral Point parties
has resulted in the finding of excellent
zinc cuttings.
All jack found adjacent to this city
on the east is pronounced by experts to
be as fine grade as any raised any
where in the entire country.
The new shaft at the John Ross mine
has been put down to the western end
of the works where good body of lead
and jack awaited the workmen.
Because of the accident to Mr.. Healy
shaft sinking at the Chief of Police has
been somewhat delayed. They are down
about thirty feet. Eighteen feet more
will bring them where the rich cuttings
were found. A good mine is the COM
mon expectation.
At meeting of the stockholders Of
the Advance Mining company last
Friday evening it was decided to con-
tinue prospecting by drilling on the
Willard lease. An adjourned meeting
was fixed for next Tuesday at the Hotel
Royal to consider the increasing of the
capital stock to $4,000.
The prospectus for the Merry Xmas
is out. 1t is brief and confined to actual
facts. The plan is Capital stock $50, 900
consisting of 300 shares of the par value
of 500 per share, worcestershire. This
mine is located on the famous Mineral
Point hill, within our city limits. The
most careful investigation by all pros
pective purchasers of stock is solicited
The Brown-Croft are replacing Their
four drill compressor with one of double
that capacity, and are running 1900
foot air line to their newly acquired
property, known as the timber tract.
The shaft is now IS feet deep in the
timber tract, and lots of good mill stuff
is being taken out. By the use of air
drills work will be greatly facilitated,
and the output from the shaft alone
will keep the mill busy before long.
The lower works are looking better
every day, and the rooster is now being
put in shape for another run. The mill
is running steadily.
The Lake Superior Development
Company, who are drilling on land be-
longing to the Copeland estate, have
struck what promises to be the best
diggings in the district. At eighty feet
the cuttings showed good jack, contin-
ued for five feet. The next five feet
brought up some of the best zinc ore
we have ever seen, number OF the
cuttings being pure jack, and nearly as
large as hazel nuts. The hole was sunk
Just across the creek, north of the Maid
of Erin, and is the first hole ever sunk
to any great depth on this land. LATER:
Since writing this article the drillers
have gone five feet deeper, and found
good jack for the entire distance. They
are Studying every six inches. Shulls-
