the Cause.

The value Of the ore loaded
out of the camp last week was
only $4380. The roads are in a
very bad condition and the ore
could not be hauled. That is why
the value Of the ore loaded was
only the sum mentioned. Had
the roads been good the amount
would have been four times as
much. A drilling rain fell most
all Of last week, and the roads
we're so soft it was impossible to
haul a fair size load. II is diff
cult, too, to haul coal into camp.
But bad roads do not as a rule
last long in this section.
The price Of ore continues
high. Top grade zinc ore sold at
$50.50 per last week, and the
top price for lead was $87.

pany expects to start up its new
mill some time next week.
lola parties, who have the
ground just north of the Joanna,
are into the same big lead that is
found in the Joanna.
The Eastman has been closed
for a week, but is again at work,
having put in repairs and addi-
tons to their mill to the amount
of $500.
N. c. Campbell, who is operat-
ing the Dark Horse property, is
getting into new ore body, and
from present indications it is 60
ing to be a good one.
The M. K. & T., is making a
great deal of ore these days. Mr..
McRuer, superintendent and one
of the owners, tells us the dirt is
getting better right along.
The Joanna is turning out a
big lot of lead and silicate these
days. The lead is coming in big
sheets from six to fifteen inches
thick, and the output of silicate
IS also very heavy.
The Eleventh Hour diggings,
south of the Omaha, are into a
fine body of ore, and the dirt is
being handled on hand jigs. A
drift is being run to the east, and
it is showing up good jack and
lead.
Means Bros. who have a lease
and are doing some drilling near
the independence, have made a
rich drill strike, going into the
ore at IS feet and out of it at 135
feet. They will sink a develop
ment shaft at once.
A drift is being run north from
the Hobo mine toward the Sum
burst property, and the dirt being
taken out in the running of the
drift is averaged fifteen per cent
ore. The Hobo is going to be
sunk deeper, and worked on a
very extensive scale soon.
The Monon mine is being
worked again under the new
management. The shaft will be
sunk deeper, so that a lot of stop
ing can be done and a higher
face of ore carried in the drift
ing. The dirt from this property
is like that from the Diamond c,
very rich.
The Micawber ground is being
opened up very rapidly, and the
dirt is getting richer as the work
progresses. The Micawber is on
the Cousatte land. The ore body
IN the Micawber is thirty feet
thick as shown by the drill log,
and the work 50 far done bears
