found where the sulphides have been

dominance. but this is a mistake, MS

assays taken by the superintendent.

John Harnan, the owner, is suppos-
ed to be on his way here from Willow
Greek. the location of his bonanza
silver-lead property, where he went
in his private car ten days ago, and
he may arrive here at any time to in
speet the strike. In the meantime.
the superintendent, Phil Marnan,
with his characteristic conservatism,
has Very little to say, although we
know that he is unusually jubilantf
over the development. In the light
of this latest showing he has been
singularly wise in selecting the site of
the 5OO-foot shaft now going down
on the Cyclone, the present depth be-
ing 1876 feet To a nicely this shaft
will pass through the vein Just open-
ed at depth of $50 feet on the din.
and therefore we may confidently ex-
pect still more sensational discoveries
in this deep shaft before the expira-
ton of another month.
But while we await the blocking
out OF this priceless ore body, which
now joins the shipping list of the
high grade producers, what of the eff

Joining properties?
The two big estates on the west

Chief, cannot miss this vein; in fact.

the management of those properties

the vein is less regular, as several
