ORLANDO RICH IN ORE.
Strike Is Made 287 Feet From the
Portal of Tunnel.

D. M. Adams, mining engineer, who
has been investigating recent strikes at
the Orlando mine, in Northern Idaho.
has submitted his report to the board
of directors. Mr.. Adams expresses
himself as well pleased with the ap.
pearance of the mines. He says in
part:
"The lead was encountered 287 feet
from the portal Of the tunnel, and was
crosscut 10 feet on the dip of the lead,
which varies from IL inches to two feet
in width. The tunnel at the intersec-
ton of the lead is about four feet wide,
and in cross cutting the lead more than
ton of high grade shipping ore was
taken out. This ore will average go
per cent anthony, and as anthony
ore is worth So per unit, the ore is
therefore worth $3.50 per ton, on the
cars at Burke, Idaho. This is the main
lead we have been driving for for more
than II months. The strike shows
that we have well defined, strong and
persistent lead, carrying high per-
centage of first class shipping ore, prov
ed for more than 200 feet in depth and
for about 100 feet on the strike Of the
same.
"The tunnel is no 302 feet under
cover"

rub with half lemon dipped into salt,
