Find In Famous Fraction

An important strike has been made in
the Fraction NINE in Spring gulch and
for the past week as the work progresses
the streak gives pro mise of being contiu
uons and of increasing in richness.
The find was made when stope was
staIted on a small streak i'll the seventh
level east, aud the width of the stresk
has increased from one inch until it is
now 10 to IS inches vide and is exposed
along the back for nearly forty feet A
large sample of the ore gave returns of
s527,4o per ton; the gold contents being
10 AZ ounces; and the ore also carried
about IL per cent. copper. The ore body
as it is now opened Will yield seversl
thousand doilors from what is in sight,
ana it may be another of the rich ore
shoots for which the Fraction mine is
famous.
This grade or character of ore is no
stranger III the Fraction mine, which has
IN days past been Zig producer of hrgh-
grade material The mime was recently
taken under bond and lease by the Buff
falo Colorado Gold Mining company. of
which Jos. w Boyd Is the superinten-
dent The property has just been un-
watered and real mining operations COM
menced Already a carload of ore has
been hoisted aad is awaiting shipfn mt
to the sampler, and regular shipments
VIII be maintained from now on.
About len years ago Jad VI Brown of
thus city, and partner by the name of
O'NeIl had lease on a block of ground
IN the third level east from the Fraction
shaft from which they extracted over
s22, 900 worth of ore within eight month.
The streak of smelling ore was from one
to IS inches wide and there was from
one TO three feet OF milling ore. The
stope WAS but I5n feet long and at no
place was over forty feet high.

IN ,endent OF the Newhouse tunnel and
will leave this afternoon for Bingham

position in executive capacity with
the Boston Consolidated Copper compa
ny The property Is one of the New

rection of Lafe Hauchett, formerly of

ployment to a force Of over 500 men, and
later will double the working force. As
soon as Mr.. Knowles is located in his
new home, his family will join him at
Bingham, probably by midsummer.
Mr.. Knowles has won for himself a
, splendid reputation a tunnel driver,
Having made number of records in the
uels and in the matter OF accomplishing
results in mining he has been eminently
successful. Mr.. Hanchett has full
knowledge of his ability and on previous
occasions has made him lattering offers
which he has hesitated TO accep, because
of his interests i'll this district. During
his connection with the Newhouse tuu-
tunnel as contractor, Mr.. Knowles mas
carried on a series of experiments
with the Leyner machine drills, devIsing
and suggesting improvements in that
drill IN conjunction with the manuiactur.
er, with the result that many of the I'M
y,rnyAI q / Model M
6, which is far superior to any machine
drill ever manufactured, represent the
practical exhaustive tests and com biued
ideas of MI Knowles and Mr.. Leyner.
Mr. Knowles has also devised several
important improvements in air com
pressors, which has been adopted by Mr..
Leyner.
