Special Correspondence.
Eureka. Nnv. Prank y Swindler.
general superintendent OF the Heinze
mining enterprise, was in the district
Tits week and regarding matters con-
uccted with the Eagle and Blue Ben
mine. he stated that the changes which
have taken place in the underground
workings OF trat property within the
past ~ month"; is little short OF marvel
0us.- aud that the mine is now In t.
position 90 send out an almost IN
Imitca supply of ore as soon as the
smeltcrs are able to handle IL. He gava
10 as his opinion that the present UNI
rest in the financial world, which he
considered nothing more than a scare.
would be over within a couple or three
months and ilcr mining and smelling
conditions throughout tho state would
become norma, again. The opening up
OF immense DEPOSITS of lead ore upon
the lower levels of the Eagle and Blue
5ell mine has certainly put that mine
among the best in Che state. IL Is said
that tnc opening up ~ ore Ina the east
.trn portions oI Easle and Blue BEL
ground by the American Mines Syndl-
cate Is very important matter TOT
several reasons. The ore was en-
countcred m ,ne eastern portion Of tha
company ground, and is similar 70
tuat lound ON the tCQ0 level In the
EHAle aud h.uo Bel smart, although
tac Loco leNoI ul the Little chief is 800
feet deeper thau t1e 1000 level OF the
former.
m the shipment OF the rich car Of
ore from tue Mammoth mine which
brought the go mpany over 100000 the
greatest of ears .as exercised ln sack
ing aud also ia thc shipping and samp-
ling 81 the lot. Ia this carload there
were 58 tons, ana the richest of 1t car
lied 1f5 ounces in gold TO the ton, and
out OF the lot sent 10 the smelter IS
tons carried about los ounces in the
yellow metal and 10 tons went better
than ~ ounces. Reports from the other
side are 90 the effect that the streak
OF ore from which this rich carload was
taken is holding out fine. and that an
other shipment equally as rich viii no
doubt be- made within few weeks. The
usual force iE &C work at the mine and
considerable development work is be-
Ing done Just at present the COM
pany has eurtaled SIS output Of one
weekly somewhat. not because of the
smelters not accepting a., but because
The lead and copper market Is low.
The shaft az the OpeX property at
Mammoth has reached a depth Of l,ll0
feet and a station has been cut az the
Loco level. IL IS the intention OF the
company 20 pat the shaft down 1900
feet before drifting - commenced.
when the l. 300 foot level is reached an
other station WIN be- cut ana a drift
started from than level, and the shaft
continued on down 300 feet further and
another station cut The showing In
the shaft az the present time is cor
tainly most gratifying To the manage,
ment.
Frank Thornherg Of the Gift Mining
company whose property ls near Silver
city was over from that section OF the
district the other day and stated that
the shipment OF ore from the mine had
been discontinued for the present His
attention Is noW being given 20 the Ell
pin ground, Dron which development
work Is In progress, and a. j. his opin-
ion tfat soma good ore will soon b.
opened up In the workings The Elgin
produced a great deal Of rich ore Is
years gone BY and there seems 20 be
40 reason why 20 can not be made 20
repeat SIS former record.
The MINDLESS Is still being used az the
Yuma In East 1intic, The shaft at the
property IS down a depth OF 50 feet
and the progress iG some what slow With
the old method of hosting dirt In
vogue. The transformers are expected
to arrive within "a week or 10 days at
tre outside ans then no time will be
lost iu getting the new electrical ma
chiuoIy in operation.
A. n. Holdaway. manager Of the
Sioux Consolidated and Utah proper
ties. states that the shaft now being
sunk upon The former o. down $50 feet
and that the showing cannot improve
"a great deal until the ore ls encountered.
The SHAFT win D. put down 20 the 800
level where station VIII be cut and
a drift started out toward the ore.
