Fortunate locators are standing ruard
over possessions. Two town sites are
already staked out and in shor- it looks

Work On the Treasure co. properly is
going on with renewed visor since the
rich ore was found ON the surface and
the company is rapidly completing
preparations for the sinking Of a deep
shaft on the Gaviland A gallows
frame. ore box and 10-h. u. gasoline
hoist are among the improvements ia
stalled this week on the property. The
shaft has reached a depth of Is feet and
the rich ore found on the surface still
continues with no change. The entire
bottom of the shaft is all ledge matter
and along the hanging walls there is
two feet of high grade ore.
An over-abundance of water is one of
ne reports from the Pompeii as at ?
depth of 20 feet so much water was en-
countered in the Wine, 100 feet west of
the shaft. that work was necessarily
stopped. Work was then begun just
ahnvn fha shaft and go fact IN the ooct
All this work has opened the same ore
and the average assays have been from
sic to SIS per ton. The big pump is
raising $50. 900 gallons of water daily.
From end to end Ell Dorado canon is
teeming with activity; from the Colo
RADIO river to Knob Hill sensational
strikes are being "a in endless sue
~cession. The canon is unquestionably
a great mining district, n it is now
rapidly forging to the front where it
rightfully belongs.
On the Lola B.. of the group a force Of
men are now at work sacking ore as it
is taken out of the tunnel. At present
there are % tons sacked on the dump
that will run over $1,400 a ton. This
-phenomenaily rich ore was encounters
while running a 15-foot open crosscut.
Adjoining the Mountain group on the
east lies the Venus where the shaft is
down IS feet, all in ore of high graGe.
Considerable work is now lone upon
this property as the management in
tends going down $50 feet before doing
any prosecuting.
While breaking through a shaft On
the Silver Legion, of the FL Dorado Ne
vada company property, the ore body
was countere 1t has proven to be
seven-foot and the foot wall has not
been reached. An average of ten sam
pies show better than $50 to the ton
While the streak will run into hun
dreds, -four inches next TO the hanging
wall will run into thousands, n was
not included in the assay. The manage
ments are making arrangements for the
sacking and shipping of ESQ tons of
high grade ore now on the dump.
Camp Sunrise is keeping UP it's repu-
tation as a great prospect as develop
ment work on the Estrella and Hobo
claims show considerable free gold in
the ~porphyry that abounds in the dis
trict. The San Pedro group was bonded
this week to ]. II. Howell for $4,000
and the deeds filed on record, naming c.
Dougherty as the seller.
Four shifts of men are now at work
on the Cyrus Noble sinking for water
and at the same time .retinbering and
enlarging the old workings. More than
enough ore is taken out with the devel-
opment work to keep the mill supplied.
Arrangements nave been made with the
santa Fe Mining company to supply

completed the mill will run three shifts.
The electric plant is all in place and will
be started as 0 as the wire now en-
route is received. Sinking will be re-
sumed as the electric plant is now in
stalled.
This Cyrus Noble Extension, which
owns the Nonpareil and Croppy claims
are at work prospecting their ground to
trace the Cyrus Noble and Goodenough
lodges that traverse both of their
| claims due east and west. A working
shaft will be sunk on the Nonpareil.
on the Quartet, as soon as the chute
from the 900-foot level which enters the
shaft at a depth of $50 feet is com
pleted. the work of opening up this
level to both the east and west OF the
shaft will be undertaken. An upraise
put through from the seventh to above
the level of the sixth has continued all
the way up in good ore. The signih-
canoe of this discovery lies in the fact
that for over 100 feet the 600-foot level
has been run in practically barren mat
ter. The face now in some $50 feet, is
still some 80 feet from the point where
a junction will be made with the up
raise. Developments on the Lowell levers
show eonclusively that the sixth Will
continue in pay ore for at least several
hundred feet.
The shaft sunk on the Black Hawk
has cut three separate and distinct
lodges. two of which are now being
drifted on at water level to prove up the
| width of their ore shoots. The latter is
more of a crosscut than a drift as 1t is
being run at an angle across the vein.
Both faces are in ore of a good milling
grade. and as yet the width of the var1-
Gus veins is unknown.
