REPORT ON Lee
ECHO PROPERTIES
Lee Gold Grotto

ore on exhibition at the office OF Tay-
Tor & Grifiths, sent in Tuesday by
Billy Mogren, superintendent Of the
Gold Grotto. The ore is that red
and brown-stained quartz, the char
~acteristic Lee ore, and occasionally
a speck Of free gold is visible. An
assay run on by Clyde H. Jay
went $500 in gold. Several as
says run by Roy Sunderland at Lee
ON general Grotto samples went
$3.50, $11.2O and $4l.S5. The ore
sent in this week is from a new place,
at surface, and yielding such high
values, makes it especially promis-
ing. The old shaft on the Grotto,
which is steadily going down, has
reached sixty feet, and remains in a
good quality of ore. Mr.. Morgan has
written a very encouraging letter on
the general conditions of the prop
erty.
Two hundred and fifty sacks were
sent out yesterday to the Lee Gold
Grotto to take care of the ore from
the new strike, which is getting bet
ter every day.
Lee Bonanza
1t won't be long before there will
be something doing at the Lee Bo-
nanza in the way of blocking out
ore. That new 15-horsepower gaso-
line hoist should be here very short
ly, and it will be installed upon the
new shaft, which is going down on
the middle ledge, which is one of
three true assures that cut through
the Lee Bonanza estate. The lodges
on this property have a Northwestern
ly and s~outheasterly course, and all
are traceable for several hundred
feet. The middle ledge in the shaft
is showing four and one-half feet of
highly mineralized quartz, with oxi-
died iron and lead, carrying fair
gold values. This ledge is traceable
for 500 feet.
The Beck ledge, at a point $50
feet east of the extreme north crop
pings Of the middle ledge, is show
ing some fine lead ore, specimens of
which have been brought to Rhyo-
lite. About 224 feet %southerly from
that point ore has been opened run
ming as high as 1886 to the ton, and
at a point 5S5 feet southerly, with
the ledge continuously exposed, ore
is being taken out that runs from
$12 to SIS, while 100 feet southerly
from there the groupings pan nice
coarse gold. These several showings
on the Beck ledge make it one of ex-
ceptional promise, and the manage
ment will crosscut from the 10O-foot
shaft, a distance of PA feet, to the
Beck ledge, giving 100 feet of stop
ing ground under the rich shoot.
Lee Gold Crest
On account of other companies in
the state by the same name, the Gold
Crest Mining company has prefixed
Lee, making the official title, Lee
Gold Crest Mining company The
company is preparing to develop its
excellent property on a large scale,
and has every confidence of making
a mine. Senator William NJ. Stewart,
for twenty years United States SEN
ator from Nevada, and father of the
federal mining laws, is president of
this company. Senator Stewart has
a great many mining propositions
presented to him, as his acquaint-
ance throughout the United States is
very large, but his name and infiu-
ence have been given to very few.
Good Ore on Angeles
The superintendent of the Angeles
Mining company at Schwab has writ
ten a letter to G. L. King telling of
the progress of the work. At a depth
of twelve feet rich ore has been
struck which shows free gold in
abundance, and the indications are
that a big strike has been made.
1t is the intention of the company to
continue work and open the prom
Using showing.
Lee Jumbo
A contract has been let for seven
ty-fve feet of sinking in the Lee
Jumbo shaft, now down twenty-five
feet. Luke Mullin has the contract
and he is pushing the work. The
bottom of the shaft shows two feet
of excellent ore, with values running
up to $45. A specimen on exhibit
ton at J.. G. Houts & Co.'S office
shows free gold. The company is in
good financial condition, and will
develop the ground as rapidly as
possible.
Greater Nevada
Cameron & Cox have received an
advice from tht Greater Nevada Min.
ing company to push development al
