RICH ORE in
RAMSEY-BONANzA

At the Ramsey-Bonanza mines,
known as the Bennett group, n sort
of development work shows up an in
crease of ore. The company has, up
to date, been doing exploration work,
and substantial prospecting. Two in
cline shafts are down eighty feet, and
in both of them rich ore bodies has
been uncovered. A drift from the
lower incline uncovered more depth
than the upper workings. A cross
cut toward the hanging wall at the
lower shaft encountered a second
strong vein, carrying values to the
ore body at the footwall and the two
are dipping in a V-shape, indicating
a meeting point within forty feet of
the present level. 1t is .or the pur-
pose of gaining this intersection and

short distance below the main incline

show more fully the unusual miner

tested with mortar and ian invar-

shoots are held between two well-de-
