sKiOOO LEASERS
MEETING SUCCESS

4 wharton lease are meeting
Aun .osu,ts that go far toward SPELL
VIZ ,ssnred success. The shaft has
inS ! depth of fifty feet and
l ,1'sIug on the vein is now in prog
a With values showing up better
ls." ever. In reply to a reporters
w. ~ as to whether or not they had
p ~ reason to feel disappointed with
=. MI, venture thus far, Mr.. Reyn-
dds replied ~,
!, more could a man ask for in
nav of a prospect than we have
~ IN sinking this shaft fifty feet
: hand we have taken ore enough
! more than pay for the work, and
]. are only prospecting. We have
'0rtsd our ore right along. Here is
81 dump that will run close to 5000
ION and the other pile will aver
- about $40. The vein at the
.ss.eut depth is stronger than it has
nan before and improving with
,.,sry shot. What more could a man
vant?'
The shaft has been sunk on a small
,odge. from eight to fourteen inches
vide. which runs at right angles to a
l.ioot ledge about 100 feet away,
rtchlng toward the shaft. There are
nav strong Indications that the two
,.aaes will unite a short distance
rom the present face of the drift,
a which place an extra good ore de-
DosIt is expected to be found. In
M. the ore seems to be steadily i'm
moving as the drift proceeds toward
he junction. The present showing
i 50 encouraging hat 1t is under
stood that the owners are contem-
stating plans for much more extern
live operations, says the Skidoo
News.
To Select Route
The county surveyor A. NJ. Strong.
accompanied by e. b. and f. d.
Smith, representing the board of
Supervisors came across country
from independence this week to Sc
let the best route for the new road
from Keller to this place.
4 think there is no question about
De road being built" said Mr..
Strong, ''for public sentiment all
ser the country seems TO be in ia
yS Of it, and we find that the cost
sill not be nearly so great as was
expected by the board"
The committee came in over one
route and will return by another.
The one already examined can be
made ready for use, according to
heir estimates, in three weeks time.
This would be sixty-five miles long.
They think a shorter route can be
peked out, but doubt whether or not
4 could be made fit for travel with
oH greater expense than the county
eau afford.
Nj. Smith has been freighting in
's country for twenty years and Is
good Judge Of road grades, etc. He
ayS that a road TO Keller would re-
auce the expense of freighting to at
least a half Of the present johann
'esourg and Rhyolite rates. There
" numerous watering places along
se route. The railroad to Keller
as greatly improved its service re-
NntIy and with the probability OF
" being extended to make southern
~nnections 1t will supply good ship
png accommodations.
