Al the Adelaide thfrty-eight men are
constantly employed around the hoist
ing works and in the mine S~eventy-ive
tons OF ore is hauled daily to the big
c~oncentrator at Golconda. This mine is
proven to the so0-foot level, with large
bodies of ore blocked out ready to be
broken down and hoisted to the surface.
The ore not only carries a good per-
centage of copper. but values in gold
and silver. and on the 200-foot level ore
with a high percentage of lead is being
broken. The values are all in the sui
phide. making II a desirable concentrat-
ing material.
On the Leadville. where Alex Eyraud
has a lease on 500 feet of ground. good
ore is being taken out and sacked.
Where the work is being lone the ledge
solid galena. with values mostly in
silver.
A large amount of low grade ore is
being piled on the dumps. The Lead
Vile is a promising property and
wherever the vein is uncovered shows
good size and is traceable the full
length of the claim.
Contractors Major and McGafin, who
are sinking the shaft on the Georgimac
are now Town to a depth of so feet and
the conditions are about the same where
they started at the 50-foot level. The
shaft is following down on the rich
streak that was encountered on the sur
face and has shown very rich gold ore
during the progress of sinking the
shaft.
At the 50-foot level ore assaying
81, 900 to the ton was taken from the
ledge and in the drift that was started
to crosscut the big dyke. a four-foot
pay shoot was struck that carries good
milling values.
The shaft which is being sunk on the
Gold Reef by Robert Major and j. c.
Stock has reached a depth of 80 feet.
with the vein retaining it's width of
three and a half feet. In this large
vein there is a good deal of shipping
ore which is being sacked. The ore is
not only rich in silver, but some ex-
tremely rich gold ore is being taken
and when panned shows a long string of
colors. The Gold Reef is situated in
the richest part of the Gold Run basin
and joins the Florence on the north and
not far from the Georgimac property.
RAwKIDE
Van Dorm & Co. have taken a bond
on the Happy H%ooligan. Happy Day
and eight other claims. belonging to c.
A. Mcleod and c.. NJ. Bovard. for $780,
900. One lease on the property and it
is asserted hat there is enough ore In
sight on the group to pay the purchase
price.
A new strike has been made between
Rawhide n Steinheimer, samples of
the ore showing 5000 ounces of silver
and So ounces of gold to the ton.
The Owl group of five claims owned
by T. A. Roseberry. has been bonded for
$50, 900. Anderson and Hughes. who are
working a lease IN this property have
sunk a shaft 20 feet, in ore all the way
and will continue sinking until the fifty
foot level is reached. Considerable high
grade has been sacked for shipment and
there is a big dump of milling ore on
the ground.
A sample of the ore taken from the
Grutt brothers lease on the Balloon
claim, showed 972 ounces. of gold and
1,1O7 ounces of silver, a total value of
$20.1O4.0S per ton. From this ledge the
leasers are sacking ore that run $25 a
pound and have $4,000 worth ready for
shipment. From samples taken from
the surface of the same leasers' work
ings on the Wild West, the assays ran
all the way from s42.7O to s5ss.6s a
ton. I,
Several leases have been given on the
Dunning and Grutt properties. On the
Rawhide are seven leasers at work and
nearly a dozen are digging for pay rock
on other properties owned by these gem
tlemer.
GOLD CIRCLE
The rich strike OF the Midas group
continues to hold out and is attracting
a great deal of attention. There are
-four claims in the group, which is
owned by ~Bamberger and Gorgin. The
ledge of free milling ore is from II to
Is feet wide. alongside of this ore body
is a rich streak of bonanza ore IS
nches to two feet wide. The country
rock is sand porphyry with rhyolite in
trusions.
South of the Midas group Halem n
Sanderson have opened a s~ix-foot vein'
