Guilty has been decided upon, work
win be practically suspended, two
men only being retained upon the pay
roll. Superintendent Jack Holland
will, however, remain in charge of
the property, awaiting the resump-
ton of work, which will be in about
thirty days. Messrs. Norrington and
Turner, both of Goldfield, and both
interested in this estate, have been
in camp for a few days examining
into the condition of things. Both
left yesterday, satisfied that the diff
~culties are easily surmounted and the
proper machinery can be readily OBJ
tanned.
GOLDEN DAWNS.
On the Golden Dawns the cross
cut is being steadily driven to inter-
sect the ledge on the west end of
the ground, which it is nearing at
the rate of about two feet per day.
Two shifts will be at work on this
property beginning soon. Mr.. Ber-
ger. of this company, is expected in
town this week, after which some in
teresting developments may be look
sd for. Two shafts for prospecting
purposes have been sunk or the ledge
l~ntersecting this ground, but the
main workings will probably be a
tunnel about coo feet in length
which will cut the lodges at depth.
SNORKHAVEN.
On the Snorkhaven property III
Eleven-mile Canyon the shaft is down
so feet on the vein and at this mark
drifting has been commenced. Sack
ing has been going on from the grass
roots down and a shipment will soon
be ready. Track for the level has
been installed and should the man
agement OF the property decide to
sink on down a hoist will be installed.
1t is possible that the drift will be
continued for the present and the
shaft sunk no further until later. Two
shifts are at work and a remarkable
record is being made by this estate.
THE VULTURE.
On the Vulture the upraise should
break through any minute into the
shaft sunk from the surface to meet
it. The men in the upraise can hear
the work going on in the foot of the
shaft, and the distance separating
them cannot be more than a few
geet. When the upraise is through
the work of tearing down the or,
will be pushed with great vigor, and
Shipments will be made regularly.
LEASES ON CoLoRADoS.
f. J. Roberts of the Colorados has
let a lease, to run for eighteen
months, on a 20 per cent fiat royalty
to Fred Burroughs and his brother
c. +. Both these gentlemen have
had considerable experience in leas
ing, having operated together at Gold
field. Four other leases will be LEI
by Mr.. Roberts on this Colorado
ground as fast as conditions will per

SPIDER WASP.
On the Spider Wasp Developmer
property the drift is now under In,
Gilkerson shaft on the west and ha.
broken into a quartz ledge which
though carrying values, does not ruI
high as yet. 1t is expected a few
more feet of driving will open up tn,
vein matter carrying the true value.
