UNCLE SAM CUTS
VEIN IN HUMBUG
Report From Property Sends
Stock Up on Exchange to
Eight Gents.
STRIKE is IMPORTANT ONE
OPENS UP GREAT POSSIBILITIES
IN MINE.

The selling price of Uncle Sam Console
dated on the local mining exchange was
advanced $4,000 yesterday. In other
words the stock opened at 81 cents and
sold up 10 IS cents during the afternoon.
The reason for the advance was that the
power drills employed in the crosScut from
the bottom of the shaft, below the Hum
bug tunnel level of the cOnpanys prop
erty broke into ore during the forenoon.
When the last word was had from the
mine during the afternoon no blasting had
been done and the management was
therefore IN ignorance concerning the
looks OF the ledge or the characteristics
OF the ore encountered other than what
was possible to judge from the appearance
of the drilings. BY today more will be
known, though there is no reason to doubt
that the strike is going to prove an inl-
portant one to the company. When seen
during the afternoon Manager John Dern
declared there was nothing on which to
Justify prediction Of what the strike
would amount to. and he was averse to
specializing upon il. lie considered il bet
ter 10 wait day or two. at least, and see
what development would disclose
To get at the significance of this strike
Tor there is practically no doubt that It
Is one and one of more than passing
Importance, il is necessary to review a
little past history. Several months ago
IL became known that a splendid body
OF rich ore had been followed south in
The Yankee Consolidated to the north end
lines Of the Uncle Sam company's Hum
bug claim. The latter company sought
an opportunity to mine the ore in Hum
bug ground through the Yankee workings
but 10 this plan the Yankee management
objected. 1t was then decided by the
Uncle Sam TO sink from the Humbug tun-
mel level TO point corresponding in depth
10 that level where the ore has been left
in the Yankee workings. This shaft has
been sunk 30 feet and a crosscut of 10
feet has now reached what is believed 20
be the same fissure that carried the Gre
in the Yankee. at a point about 200 feet
from the dividing line between the two
properties As stated, it is known that
this ledge carries the ore up to the Hum
bugs north end lines and the fact that
the drillings yesterday brought out ore
leaves little or no room to doubt that the
shoot is continuous from the Yankee lines
for 200 feet into the Humbug.
That is the situation as 1t existed at 9
o'clock yesterday afternoon There is
room for much speculation and conjecture
as to what the strike is likely to mean to
the Uncle Sam company, but the reader
must draw his own pictures and shade
them 10 suit his fancy.
