When it is possible to again market
ore the Ramsey-Comstock mine will be
in all the better shape to forward large
shipments of that rich product to the
outside. The 1ull has given the oppor-
tunity to square away for big doings
and a larger output Of the high grade
ore than formerly will be the result.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
there is a great quantity of rich ore in
sight in the workings and every stroke
serve.
Up to the time tina the fourth level
had been reached in the R~amsey-Com-
stock mine the larger vein of high grade
ore exposed a been on the hanging
wall side of the 40-foot ledge and was
the chief source of supply of shipping
ore. This fine vein has held up in size
right along. being about seven feet
across wherever exposed. A two-foot
vein about the middle of the ledge and
another one foot wide near the foot wall
are also exposed in the upper levels.
When the last lever was reached 1t was
found that the foo wall vein had great
ly increased in size, with the additional
100 feet. and instead of being one foot
across is between five and six feet in
width and carrying average values of
SIS per ton gold. Since the hanging
wall vein averages better than 800 per
ton it at once becomes evident hat the
property is in shape for record produc-
tion. In both veins occasional stratas
of ore are uncovered that assay $4,000
to $4,000 per ton and some decidedly
handsome specimens showing the yellow
metal on all sides have been secured.

boone Is so badly broken that it Will re-
ouire considerable work on this prop

H. l.. Simmonds has increased his
force on the Battery and is developing
the property veiy rapidly. The Battery
adjoins the Johnnie Consolidated on the
north and has the making of a big mine.
The Del Orc Mining company have in
creased their crew and are sinking as
rapidly as possible on the ledge.
There are mGre men at work in the
district. at this time. Than ever before in
us history.
The Crown l'oitt Globe made another
very rich strike this week. in their tun-
mel. 1t is a peculiar fact that the
Crown Point Globe property is so sur
rounded on the n-rth and east by the
Johnnie Con. that all of its work Is
practically developing the Johnnie Con.
property. The strike made IN the
Crown Point Globe a couple of weeks
ago was on the northeast corner of their
property and the dip and strike of the
vein carries the ledge into Johnnie Con.

of gold protrude. similar to the telluride
ores of Colorado.
The tunnel has not been barren of re-
suits up to date as he has crosscut sew
eral wide veins averaging above SO per
ton and several smaller veins that are
very much richer. He has a very fine
prospect which it is generally predicted
will make him a lot of money.
DAao NO. s
A new strike was made on the Dago
No. 3 claim this week. which all the
more brings that property to the front
as a topnotcher. A shaft 80 feet deep
is sunk and for the purpose of prospect
ing a parallel ledge a short drift toward
the west is being run. Within four or
five feet of the shaft the wall of the
ledge was encountered and a test of the
ore at once disclosed the fact that the
values had greatly increased from sur
face. They now have seven feet of ore
exposed giving assay values averaging
$50 per ton. Between two and three
feet of the ledge next the wall will run
at least twice that much and makes
a shipping product from the mine close
to surface.

RAMSEY DURHAM
The Ramsey-Durha.n Mir,rg company
has a fore 80 men 1T work sinking a
shaft on the Gold Hill claim, one of the
group of fine claims owned by them n
located southwest of the Walkover mine
This claim is located along the trend OF
a large dyke which outcrops for many
hundred feet. 1t trends directly toward
Walkover ground on the northeast and
is thought to be a continuation of the
rich ledge under steady development In
that ground.--Ramsey Recorder.

Late predictions of what would trans
pire at the Walkover mine, when sink
ink was resumed, a W been more than
fulfilled. AS the shaft crawl toward
the 100-foot mark the rich hanging wall
vein increases in size and becomes rich
err. Instead of a little more than three
feet of ore. as shown Is or 20 feet above
the present level there is now a vein of
high grade exposed fully five feet in
width. Every bit of that rich rock is
being saved for shipment and places the
walkover mine way to the front as a
heavy producer.
With this mine having an output such
as a fve-foot vein will supply. it merely
becomes a property that will soon earn
large profits for the shareholders. A
high grade ore body of hat size not
only means much tonnage. but the pro-
duction runs into money very fast.
With the financial skies cleared, which
will result In the smelters accepting and
promptly paying for ores. the Walkover
will be in a position to forward a guam
tity of ore that will send the bullion
production of this district up into hand
figures.

Crowds Old Heroes Out.

CHICAGO, June, 28.-For genuine
heroism and loyalty to duty, Barney
MacDonnaugh, a window washer at
No. 113 Fifth avenue, has Leonidas
and his 300 Spartans lashed to the
mast and makes Horatius at the
bridge look like Confederate money.
Macdonnaugh was engaged in the
task of washing windows this morn
ing, hanging out of the fourth floor
when flames poured out of the fifth.
Sparks singed his hair and the dense
smoke blinded him. Below engines
clattered up, hose was stretched and
people shouted and grew terribly ex-
cited. He calmly proceeded with his
work.
"Get out of that, you'll burn!' yell
ed the crowd.
"Chase yerselves!" retorted Bar
ney. 81 have me duty to perform.
The firemen are paid to attend to
the fire. I have these windys to
wash"
And he continued at work.

bv the town council for engaging in

acquitted.
Mr.. Ricaud had previously pleaded
guilty to disorderly conduct, and Ken
meth Matheson was tried and convict
ed by a jury for being accessory to
the fight.
1t was developed in the trials that
Ricaud and Matheson drew straws to
see which should whip Owens on &C.
count of the communication in The
State of June 18. Ricaud got the
long straw, and they started together
to Owens office. They met him and
Ricaud told him he was going to give
him thrashing. Owens then struck
him in the face and they fought till
Owens told Ricaud that he had the
advantage and asked him to stop.
The mayor fined Ricaud and Mathe-
son S1O0 each, which is the maximum
fine that he could impose. Mr.. Mathe-
sons attorneys have given notice OF
appeal. Later Matheson withdrew no.
tice of appeal and paid his fine. Ri
caud also paid the fine imposed upon
him.
