The rich ore body that was opened up
by the Mohawk Ledge lease on the 800

has been penetrated and the miners are
driving through the big ledge as fast as
the work can be pushed. On the 30o-fcot

At Wild Horse Springs, in the eastern
part Of the district and near the points
where some Of the most sensational
values exposed in the district have been
obtained. the Goldfeld Hercules COM
pany's shaft is down 200 feet and the
crosscut is nearing the great ledge
which was penetrated below the 100
foot level. This ledge, which Is from
eight to ten feet in thickness, was care
fully sampled and returned asaye values
up to SIS per ton.
The crosscut now being run from the
200-foot level should encounter this
ledge near it's intersection with another
vein of good appearance and If pay ore
is not encountered at this point 1t IL be-
lieved that the high grade will be found
in good quantity at but little greater
depth as. from present indications, the
water level can be not more than a few
feet deeper.
