this shoot and az the same time place
the property IN shape for production.
The workings are to- be continued

be prosecuted on the vein, and an
other hundred feet added to the shaft,

vein at this depth.
Work Will be resumed in few DAYS

Development on the Amy Dewitt
mine, owned by the Chilstrom COM
pany, is showing great Improvement
IN the physical condition of the pro-
perty. Exploration on the vein has
developed large copper deposit. The
vein Is 20 feet in width, and assays
have shown values as high as AZ per
cent copper and good values in gold
ana silver The gold and silver will
pay cost OF treatment. and If the cop
per continues TO maintain permanent
cy the district will soon take its place
among the copper camps of the south.
Another shipment of good milling ore
was made this week from the Edna
mine, south OF town. This property Is
being worked by The Erickson brothers.
Efforts are being made to keep UP
production while prospecting at depth
for continuation of the main ledge,
which gives every indication OF naln-
tanning perlnanency to a great depth
This property has already produced
some line mineral and Is making its
presence felt,
The shaft on the Big TIGER has
reached u depth OF $50 feet and the
fourth station has been cut. A cross
cut has been started, which Is des-
tined to- cut the vein for It's entire
width, This ledge is the largest IN
the district, being 200 feet In width.
Assays taken from shallow workings
gave values Of $50 IN gold and silver,
