THE BANNER.

The grading for the Banner mill is
progressing steadily and the masonry
work on the retaining walls is being
done. In cutting down steep rock
and cement bank, while doing the grad
ing, the cropping of a ledge of good
ore has been cut into. As the mill site
is on the south end OF the Cocoa claim.
recently purchased from Mrs. Lewis
aud her sons. and as the late Judge
Lewis, who originally located the Cocoa
always insisted that the Alpine ledge,
which he sold to the Trade Dollar peo-
pie, ran through the Cocoa ground, it
is now reasonably certain that the ledge
encountered in grading for the mill is
the same. AS the Alpine is now pro-
ducing ore for the Trade Dollar, further
north, said to have a value of about
$1,000 per ton, it is very important to
the Banner people if this discovery
proves to be The same ledge.
Work is being continued on the drift
north from the tunnel level. and, on
Wednesday, fine grade of ore was cut
into in the face of the drift. As this is
thought to be continuation of the
shoot of ore found in the drift north
from the Webster tunnel 12O feet higher
up, an upraise will be made to connect
the two drifts, which will develop big
shoot of ore.
