RICHF1ELD, Sept. with
twelve-foot ledge, carrying average
values OF 500 in gold and $3.50 in
silver, a total Of $17.So,. L. H. Outzen
has determined to follow up the dis,
covery made on his property Mt the
head of the south fork of Bullion can
yon, and has let contract for $50
feet Of tunnel work to Lorenzo Mel
son, the discoverer, The tunnel will be
started below the discovery point, with
tho intention of tapping the vein at
depth of 1875 feet. This vein is the
same lead which Mr.. Outzen developed
to some extent last season, at depth Of
something over 1000 feot below the
Of great Importance in establishing
the continuity of big ore body. If it.
improves, or even holds it own, as it
goes into tho mountain, it Is most
important proposition, and will give
new Zest TO operations In that neigh
borhood
For the purpose Of handling the prop
erty to a better advantage, Mr.. Out
zen has formed company, which has
just been incorporated, called the Out
zen Mining company.
Encouraging Strike.
One of the most encouraging strikes
which has occurred in the development
Of the b. w. & II. mine is reported
Manager A, R, Hawley is down from
the property with samples of new
character of ore, which has been en-
countered in the lower, or No 3 tun-
mel This tunnel has been following
q scam of ore, but few inches wide,
into the mountain for distance of
800 feet, with the expectation of tap
ping, at depth of several hundred
feet lower, the vein which has been
carrying the rich values in the upper
workings. From the character of the
ore now struck it is believed the OBJ
ject has at last been attained.
In the upper levels the ore streak
has not averaged more than six to ten
inches in width, but has carried n
steady value Of not less than 800,
which has permitted the development
of the property for about five years
with but two assessments. As the
workings penetrate further to the
heart of the mountain it is believed
the veins will widen out, and as their
depth is now proved for over 1900 feet,
milling proposition. A splendid mill
site can be obtained along the Sewer
river, not two miles distant.
Other Properties Look Well.
M. f. Murray, field manager Of the
OOlQ DeNelOpueul COiupduy, WHICH is
developing what is commonly known
as the Franklin properties in Bullion
and Cottonwood canyons, has just
made trip to the properties and re-
ports satisfaction with the operations
now under way, Mr., Murray reports
that the visit of the leadin~ stockhold
ers from the East has more than salts
fed them, and they have given assur
ance of ample capital to demonstrate
the properties. They found conditions
even better than they had been led to
believe. The north side tunnel is now
being pushed along to strike the big
ore bodies onened up in another tun-
mel and a shaft above
The Sewer Consolidated has another
sensational strike to its credit. 4 week
ago a verified report of strike in the
east workings was given out, carrying
values running up to $1660, and now
the west side has this almost doubly
discounted A streak has been cut in
one of the big lodges which assays over
$4,000, the values being S195Ss0 in
gold and $l0S4.49 in silver. These high
grade ores. carrying such quantities of
Silver, are not milled Mt the mine, but
are being shipped TO the Salt Lake
