Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1906-04-19

This week. mining news simply tolS
is to the effect that all mines and pros
poets in and around Mineral Point art
holding their own, while some have
shown improvement.
The Hazel Patch mine, as intimatec
last week, is developing into one of the
leaders. They have model shaft and
good equipment of machinery. At a
depth of about 80 feet force of men
are busily employed on hundred-foot
breast carrying body of high grade
sheet jack four inches thick and also a
large body of splendid disseminated ore
On the dump at the present time are
$50 tons ready for milling and cobbing.
The enterprise and perseverance behind
the Hazel Patch merit such bright
prospects.
At the Merry Christmas work goes
merrily on with good results. This
mine never made better showing than
right now Inspectors have been here
this week with desire to get pos
session.
Good lead and jack drillings at the
Temby have resulted from work done
the past week, while in working in an
old shaft on land controlled by the same
company good body of copper has
been unearthed, an ore not as yet
found anywhere else in the entire south
west Wisconsin district.
At the Brown workmen have broken
through the bar which temporarily cnt
off the splendid run of jack and they
are now at work on better body of
jack than before There are hundreds
of tons of stuff on the dump awaiting
the installing of mill and other machin-
cry.
The McDermott company still keeps
the driller employed with more or less
favorable results. One hole showed as
rich cuttings as any in the district.
The Peacock folks expect to have
their machinery installed by the last of
this week, and more active operations
will Immediately follow.
During the last week the heaviest
lode of jack has been fonnd at the Trio,
Linden, within the history of that mine.
Drilling at the Advance has not as
yet resulted in anything very encourag-
ing, but believing that ore is some
where's there in large body they keep
persistently at it. In the drift from
the main shaft the customary body of
disseminated ore continues.
At the Homesite they continue drift
ing on the fine body of lead and jack
discovered in the glass rock opening.
The Lille and Easy Money maintain
their good showing of splendid jack.
Sinking a shaft to the depth Of 100
feet at the Weigel, Linden, two-inch
sheet or better of solid jack has been
found.
The Slack is holding it's own, which
means considerable, as the showing has
always been good.
AS soon as the Harris company get
their shaft down something extra is
expected. All signs justify it.
Drilling continues on various other
leases in this vicinity that have every
indication of being good, and the her
aiding any day of rich cuttings would
not prove surprising.
The Liverpool people are still taking
out ore in large chunks.
A special meeting of the stockholders
of the Advance company will be held at
Hotel Royal on the 26th inst at p. m.
