Another strike has been made In the
lower workings Of the Lamar,ine mine,
and is the second important discovery IN
that propeaty within the past month.
The rich old property which has yielded
nearly four millions and 10 now worked
almost exclusively by leasers, promises
to add very considerably to the output OF
the district during the balance Of the
year. The new strike was made in
ground under lease to Drs. McClana aha n
: and Cain, of this city, and William Tren-
berth, located below the ninth level
200 feet west OF the main shaft. The
leasees have have opened a streak from
eight to ten inches wide, a sample oi
which assayed this week gave returns o.
0. 40 ounce gold and o48 ounces in silve,
per ton. and So per cent. lead. the gros.
value of which is f476.o7 per ton.

: Ed. Egan, who is engaged in doing
the assessment work on claims owned
by himself and A. F Adams LOCATED
on East Santa Fe mountain, made
good strike on his Golden Belle z,

in driving new open cut, he opened a

the first assay Of which yielded value
of SI76o per ton. The strike is par
tieul arily encouraging and work will
be continued at that point in clos
proximity to an ore shoot. Mr.. Ega,
has prospec,ed in that section 70
number of years past, making mum
erous locations, and has encountere,
several good punches of ore on the sur
face. Some Denver mining men ar
now endeavoring to interest capitals,

The heading of the Central tunne

one of which was 20 feet wide and tn

Of Denver. Mr.. Carper, accompanied b
q B. Coatsworth, foreman of his Crppl
Greek property, and President w. T
Daniels, Of the Big Five, were in thi
city last Sunday between trains an
visited the vein in the tunnel for tn
purpose of taking further samples of tb
, ore. The former sampling yielded val
ues of So.e2 per ton. Mr.. Carper state,
that he would probably have the tunne
company extend laterals both east an,
: west for so feet following the hangiu,
wall Of the monster vein. The secou
: vein cut in the Central tunnel has
southeasterly and northwesterly cours
and must of necessity form a junction
with the big lode short distance eas
of the line Of the tunnel. The ore from

should form an ore shoot in tn
big vein, as has invariably bee,

and the development will be watche
with interest by local mining men.
