AG OOl0AAClA IN AAAAo
never brighter, and, according to the
News, ore is being found that will run
I'D in the pictures, as may be seen by
the accounts given below:
The Daisy, lying alongside of the
Great Bend, is likely to absorb the at
tention of the mining world for a time,
as it appears that this mine which has
co long been threatening to ome around
Is now about to do something extraor-
binary, The owners Of the Daisy are
;ubilant wei the recent find and the
iessees are cutting up high jinks.
One Of the most sensational strikes
in the history Of the camp was made
when on Wednesday a 4-foot ledge was
opened up on the Brewer and Detch
lease on the Daisy. The ledge, which
was caught in a crosscut to the east of
the G5-foot level, is all good shipping
ore, and a streak l-foot wide is phe-
nomenally rich. Before the lucky
lessees were apprised of the great find
the foreman had extracted about half a
ton of the ore, which, it is estimated,
will assay from $1,000 to $4,000 per
ton. The crosscut was being projected
to connect with the new shaft, which
is down about So feet, and the find was
altogether unexpected. The work of
connecting the two shafts will go right
forward before stopping is actually be-
gun. The new shaft, Superintendent
Blanchard states, will be carried on
down to a level with the main work
ings. Superintendent Blanchard also
says that the ledge will pass right
through the ground beng exploited by
the company. The shaft being sunk
by the company is now down l25 feet.
A Is h. p. hoist is on the ground and it
is the intention to sink to the 350-foot
mark.
Since the news of the strike became
public the lucky principals of the lease
have visited the ground and on Friday
afternoon 300 pounds of picked ore was
brought in and deposited in the vaults
of the John S. Cook bank.
1t is said this ore will run $50, 600 to
the ton. In the party which inspected
the strike were several of the most
prominent operators in camp, who pro-
nounced the find in some respects the
biggest thing the camp has ever known.
Five assays were taken on ore from
different parts of the strike on Friday
of last week. The ore was an average
from the various places sampled, AND
ran as follows: No. l, 81, 040. 40; No. 2,
$133. 60; No. 8, $81. go; No. A, 81, 408i
No. 5, $l32. 80. This latter sample was
taken from rock that was being thrown
on the dump as supposedly valueless,
but a grab sample was u and much
to the surprise of all gave excellent re,
turns.
The superintendent at the min,
brought in some selected samples
from a 2R-inch streak which wa
almost solid gold, the rock in severa
specimens being held together BY
threads of yellow metal.
Frank Horton, president of the Dais!
company, has given a contract for thu
finest dwelling house and Office com
bined to be found in the district. Tn,
building will be entirely of stone an
will cost 5000. 1t will be erected o.
Daisy ground at the mine.
Daisy stock Friday showed the ef
fects of the recent strike, jumpini
from about 40c to 55c. 1t is predicte
that the stock will go to a much highe
figure. Daisy is very closely helt
There are only about 62, 500 shares out
standing.
