ORE SHOOT IS
IN SUCCESS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)


tanned from the Success Mining Com.
pany to explore the Alameda prop
erty through its No. 2 tunnel, a con-
tract was let for this purpose, and a
tunnel was driven in the direction
of Alameda ground, following a shoot
OF ore for almost the entire distance.
This tunnel was driven a total dis
lance of 315 feet, and at point 248
feet from the starting point a large
body of commercial ore was encoun-
tered, on which cross-cut was made
north and south, showing the width
of the vein at this point to be between
40 and so feet, large portion OF
which Is milling ore. A raise WAS
also made from this point, and COLI
tinued upward distance of SO feet,
opening up body of high grade ore
from to feet in width, for the en-
tire distance.
This work was done under the i'm
preston that the crOsscut and raise
were clearly within the lines of the
Alameda property, but resurvey,
which has just been completed, de-
monstrated the fact that owing to
several turns having been made in
said tunnel in following the ore
shoot, that approximately IS feet
had been lost in the direct distance
from starting point of tunnel to the
Alameda lines, and that owing to this
fact the crosscut and raise had been
made 81 feet from the lines Of the
Alameda property, within the prop
erty of the Success Mining Company.
Owing to this fact a contract has
just been let and the work is now in
progress, to continue this tunnel an
additions 100 feet, following the
same ore shoot, which we now al.
ready have. This will bring the work
Immediately under the Alameda tun-
mel No. /, proper (not true as it takes
225 feet of work to get into Alame-
da ground. From this point cross
cuts will be run north and south to
intersect both contact veins, which
have been developed In the property
of the Success, and which are known
to exist from the developments in
Alameda tunnel No. 1, approximately
800 feet above the present workings,
where from 20 inches to 2 feet of
ore averaging 10 per cent lead, rs
per cent zinc and s ounces in silver
are exposed. (These assertions had
better be Investigated in view of pre-
vious misstatements). This shoot of
ore is also known to exist $50 feet
below the present workings, or 800
feet from the surface, by the develop
ments in Alameda ground through
tunnel No. 3. (Not true). From
2h to 3 feet of steel galena, aver
aging SO per cent lead, 40 ounces in
silver, and II per cent zinc, now be-
ing exposed. (Show mel. This ad-
ditional 100 feet, which has just been
begun, will be completed in less than
30 days, and will bring the face OF
our workings 90 feet within the lines
of the Alameda property. tThey
will have to crosscut instead of drift
to do this).
While it is very disappointing to
the officers of your company and to
Mayo, Sachs & Co., under whose d.
rectiOn this work was performed,
that this mistake was made, and the
report given out that this ore be-
longed to the Alameda Company, 1t
has clearly demonstrated the fact
that this ore shoot continues into the
property of the Alameda Company,
and It is the concensus Of opinion
of the best mining men who have ex-
amined the recent workings that the
work now in progress will open up
as large, if not a larger body OF COM
mercial ore, than is now exposed
within a few feet of the property OF
the Alameda Company. (This Is
tommy rot. No mining man on eartn
can see one foot into the ground.)
Rumors OF the foregoing facts
have already had depressing eject
on the market price Of the stock, and
