He reports that the district is OPEN

tance of seven miles. Beginning at
the south with the Moler or Buckhorn
Mining company group near the

Dutch and Harris, who are down ITO
fet Then comes tho lease ut the
Seven Troughs Mining and Leasing

and drifts being run each way 10 the

depth of $50 feet and drift has
been started to the vein at this point
to strike the splendid vein of white
quartz ore that they left at the 2@o
foot drift. North of the Fairview

has been developed. On the north
and joining the signal Peak the Ther-
ien group with II sets OF leases is
being developed on the south extern
sion of the IVor and Mazunta HIS
lodges. The Maxuma Hills tunnels are
in 400 feet on vein eight feet IN

Mazuma Hills. the Eclipse group re-
norts an important strike on IL foot
vein. and still north Of this the North
Pole people are opening up hne ore.
The towns of Vernon, seven
Troughs, Mazuma and Ferrill are
erecting substantial lumber buildings
TO take the place Of tents, and every
thing shows that people have faith
in the future of the camps and the
Vermanency of the ore bodies.
Speaking particularly of the Signal
Peak property. President Robinson
reports an excellent vein of quartz
three feet in width that has been
drifted upon ITO feet on pay chute
of ore the whole distance. This drift
was started at the 65 foot shaft level
and extends into the Signal Peak
The depth at the face of the drift
would be perhaps 100 feet from the
surface Supt. Frank Mcintyre has
about so tons OF ore on the dump that
pans we'll in both gold and silver and
the vein is getting stronger and bet
ter with each shift. Supt. Mcintyre
is sure he can make a shipment of
ore that would pay handsome pro-
ii from tho dump and ore left in the
side Of the drift. but the manage
nIont thinks best 10 still expose more
ore before shipping, while at the
property a contract Of 500 foot tun-
mel was left 10 J T. Duke and L. J.
Stewart Of American Fork and con-
frmed by the board 81 directors at a
meeting held Yesterday. This will
be a working tunnel and tap the vein
AZ great depth, and develop tho
property on a large scale. = general
