a gold content as high as 500 the

stated that the Consolidated company

tons of milling ore the company has

CUTTING LEVEL.
The first level is being established
at depth of 30 feet in the Brey-
fogle shaft Crosscuts are to be run
north and south at this point and are
expected to open up a continuation
of the rich Thanksgiving vein system.
While exploring ground at this depth
sinking is also to be in vogue and is
to continue until a depth of 600 feet
is gained the estimated permanent
sulphide ore zone. John Richey, the
new superintendent. is now in
charge. Mr.. Richey was formerly SUI
perintendent of the Mizpah mine at
Tonopah.
WORK RESUMED.
Work was resumed on Wolftone
Extension ground this week. Lack
of timber for shaft use was the cause
of the temporary shut down. 1t is
the intention of the management to
equip the shaft with powerful
hosting plant in the near future.

Joe Berry, manager of the Man
haitian Gold Range estate, is pre-
pairing to take up development at
depth. Recent prospecting at surface
resulted in the discovery of a az
foot ledge of blue lime quartz, show

working shaft is to be sunk in this
ledge, the objective point being wa

THE THANKSGIVING.
Having reached a depth of $50
feet in the Thanksgiving shaft the
management is now sending out a
crosscut at that level to contact with
the tellurium ledge tapped by cross
cut in the level above. 1t is likely
that the objective point will be
reached with any round of shots.
Another crosscut is being run to the
east with the object of tapping the
immense sulphide ledge which dip
ped out of the shaft few feet below
the 300-foot level. Both lodges carry
gold contents ranging from $50 to
several hundred dollars the ton. The

THE GRANNY.
Development of Granny is pro-
crossing at two points, in the main
working shaft and at the scene of
recent discovery, about 1000 feet
west thereof, The gasoline pump is
coping more than adequately with
the water flow. A station will be cut
at the 300-foot level about October

high grade in the incline shaft is
proving it to be as important as the
