taneously In the Stray Dog and Indian
Camp properties during the past week.
The indian Camp shat, is down $50 feet
and has been In sulphides for two days,
as yet encountering neither foot nor
hanging wall The mine Is a "whale."
| The strike was made on the original In
dian Camp ledge, which entered the
shaft at a depth Of li0 feet and at an
angle OF 50 degrees. pitching to the
southeast. The bottom of the shaft is
| stu IN ore. with no end I'm sight, the
principal values being found in chal-
copyrite, carrying gold and silver. A
general sampllng OF the ore body
shows values averaging S55 and assays
since that time show that the grade is
improving with depth. Tho vein gives
Indications Of being 30 feet wide. a
strong flow Of water has been encoun-
tered which Is regarded as good
sign, since the leasers on the Union

The discovery Of the same character
OF ore on the Stray Dog. made the fol-
lowing day during the monthly inspec-
tion of Consulting Engineer John ID

ore on the hanging wall, with two to
three feet OF lower grade on tho foot

IMPORTANCE OF STRIKE.
While the discovery Of sulphlde orc

cient development work viii develop
great ore bodies. The town OF Man
haitian Is agog with interest over tho
developments on these two properties

district declare that the Indian camp
property is more than the equal OF the
Manhattan Consolidated.

by mining men who know that the
shelters value 1t for its fluxing prop
critics as well as the values in gold
and silver which the chalcopyrite car

of possibility that the Indian Camp
may become Q producer of copper val
ues, since a number OF other properties
In the same end of the Manhattan camp
have been opening up encouraging in
dications Of good copper ore during the
past few weeks.
