district Tor the past mOADM- AnC SCI
ond strike Of copper in the Ramsey
c6mstock, on the third level, is re-
ported and the shaft rapidly going
down to the 500-foot level. The ex-
traction OF high grade ore from the
shoot on the second level is being adj
vanced and the high values main
tanned in the seven-fOot ledge, with
two feet on the hanging-wall very
much improves in copper contents
and the gold values run from s244
to $3.50 per ton. There are 10000
sacks ready for shipment
On the Ramsey Consolidated ma
ehinery is being installed and the ore
on the dumps being separated pre-
paratory t shipment at once. Sink
ling to the 500 and extraction Of ore
in the south drift on the second level
opens up strong bodies and the big
dyke will be crosscut at every 100
feet. Shipments will be made as fast
as the ore is extracted.
The crosscut tunnel at the 200 sta
ton on the New COmstock is being
advanced until it exposes the vein
entirely across 700 feet Of ledge mat
ter. Stringers Of high grade are be-
ing cut from time to time and sta
lions marked on each for drifts east
and west on these veins. Much tale
containing quartz and showing values
Of from $40 to $500 a ton is being
encountered.
The Coe lease on the assure
is sinking on a high grade strata 300
feet from the Consolidated shaft and
high grade is being sacked as the in
cline shaft goes down, The bottom
of the shaft, which is thirty feet, is
in vein matter and considerable high
grade in place.
On the Ciark-Robinson lease on the
Ophir the famous Clark dyke has
been encountered and there Is twelve
feet OF oxidized ore that runs from
sl4 to SIS a ton In gold, with small
silver and copper contents. This
shaft will be driven to water level as
rapidly az possible and the ore ex'
tracted is being pulled up for future
shipment.
Pending the arrival and installa
: tion Of the steam hoist the Ramse!
| Mining company was shut down. Tn
: drifts and shafts are accumulatini
: much high grade copper ore. and !
in the second mine to open up thi
grade OF copper which is highly de
8 sirable.
Ramsey Bonanza company is sink
Q ing on the vein in the Hidden FoI
tune No. 2. where ore was encount
cred nearly a month since carryin
r values at $1,000 per on. This COZ
poration employees guards to waite
development work as it is az
. vanced on the levels, as each one ha
d heretofore developed a high grad
vein which has made this mine on
81 of the high grade properties of I'll
state. The tunnel is making water
n the rate of sixty gallons a minute an
the shafts being cut down will col
,e meet with this tunnel on the 81
level Extraction and shipment wi
,e commence as soon as the hoist a
rives and is installed.
The tunnel on the Garavanta is b
h. ing advanced to cut the outcrop al
the breast Of this tunnel is now
IT 1I0 feet and is in a white porphy'
" which carries a good deal or iro
be Several stringers have been cut
o. the tunnel and the latter will be co
nd tinued to the center of Virgin
st mountain, where lateral drifts W
,e. be started TO explore the whole
s. this huge deposit in four direction
m Active work will be advanced
IT. the Walkover and a shaft will be ra
to idly driven down with stations open
nd up and drifts run to exploit t
property. This mine shows gre
values on the surface and assays
turned gold values of 5000.
A hoist and other machinery "
mo- be Installed at once on the Rams
GoidReld and aggressive developmt

tes The Capital City has a shaft do
Ing City feet. which is all in ore, and I
ore shaft will be continued and crosse
