bodies can be properly opened, the com

/ But the most interesting incidents of
this enterprise are the results from the
wor ing Of the Golden Rod and Bes-ic NJ
located for the company. The former
crosses the othe veins Of the group near
" at right angles, and as il affords
good showing for a tunnel, the mountain

develop the entire group by an adIt uu-

In doing the assessment work on the
Bessie NJ a shaft was started, and about
five feet from the surface good lead ore
began to come in At ten fe.t there was
i'll one end OF the shaft, from 10 to u in
ches and in the other end in. hes OF ore
partially decomposed, which yielded $50
1 per ton At fifteen feet the ore began to
come in solid and showed values of s53
per ton At twenty feet the ore body
was fifteen inches wide, nd thoug, still
somewhat decomposed was becoming
more solid and at the present writing the
shaft being from IS to 80 feet deep, there
are eighteen inches of ore with solid
streak of heavy lead ore SIN inches wide,
which is getting wider with every shot
and the rest of a good shipping grade,
and the company is saving considerable
ore every day,
