ing into shape, Little change is
noticeable in the mine. White and
manganese quartz is coming out of
the lower levels.
Alibaba in Quartz
The Alibaba shaft at a depth Of
I'll feet has penetrated bedrock, and
is now in a body of amethyst quartz,
similar to that of the Original Bull
frog section. The work in progress
is being done to develop the extern
sion of the Bonanza mountain lodges.
The management is much encouraged
with the showing made Immediately
upon reaching bedrock and expects
to encounter good values at an early
date. The shaft will be equipped
with a forty-horsepower hoist in the
near future.-Rhyolite Herald.
The Maylower.
Shipping ore has approximately
been reached on the hanging-wall of
the vein in the Mayflower. Superin-
te4dent Bob Smith said Tuesday that
he had drifted about ten feet both
north and south on the hanging-wall
of the vein at the 30O-foot level and
that the ore is continually improving.
He says that it approximates ship
ping ore now that he could. by a
little judicious management, pick out
the shipping ore. He is still con-
tinuing the crosscut at the same
depth, and at a distance of twenty
feet is still in good ore.
Skidoo
Skidoo is a promising mining
camp, and is going to be a big one,
is the opinion of L. H. Marks, a
Greenwater pioneer, who recently re-
turned from a three weeks trip in
the Skidoo country. All the mines
which are being developed r show
ing up finely. Leasers are at work,
and there is an air of prosperity APP
parent. The town is about the size
of Furnace. Mr.. Marks has re-
turned to Skidoo. While in that
section he secured a number of
promising claims in Wild Rose can
yon, not far from Skidoo, besides a
water right carrying thirty inches of
water.
Besides the Skidoo Mining com
pany's mine, the Granite Contact
company has a fine ore showing,
nearly all free gold. The rock in
these mines is fairly studded with
gold, according to Mr.. Marks. Sales
are being reported almost daily, and
the applications for leases are num-
erous. Water is supplied from Emf
grant springs, seven miles distant
but a water system is being put in by
the Skidoo Mines company, from
Jail canyon, about tw~enty-four miles
from Skidoo.
Some fine gold quartz has beer
found in Wild Rose canyon, assays al
high as t~hirty-two ounces having
been had. Anthony is also founC
there in considerable quantities.
Goods and merchandise ar,
f~reighted to Skidoo from Johannes
burg and Rhyolite, the former plac'
being distant about 10 miles. Ha.
is $3.50 a bale, barley Sc per sael
and water s cents per gallon. Their,
are two grocery stores, three sa
looms, two barber shops, three res
taurants. one meat market, three as
says, one ieweler and a number o
civil and mining engineers.-Bul
