At the La Lime lease on Litigation
hill a strike of 5000 per ton ore is re-
ported. The high grade is said to &C.
cur in a ledge s feet in width to per-
meate a width OF 9 feet. Certain 1t is
that the rock for which so much in the
way of picture assays is laimed shows
free gold in quantity. 1t is asserted
that ore having a gold grade of $3.50
the ton has been thrown over the dump
as waste at this lease.
In the east drift at the 70-foot level
of the Rose-Nash workings shipping ore
is showing across an s-foot face. The
quartz breaks better thar 5000 gold the
ton and shows much precious metal in
the free. Careful sampling of the
dumps on this lease indicate that the
entire tonnage will average a triie in
excess of $50 gold the ton.

Within the mex few days work will
be resumed at the property of the To-
quima Copper company. located in the
East Manhattan section. The Officers
and principal stockholders have agreed
to subscribe for a block of treasury
shares at a price which will create a
fund sufhcient to meet the expense Of
sinking another 100 feet. Work was dis
continued on the property last spring
at a depth of ITS feet. The showing
Of copper carrying ore in its bottom is
decidedly encouraging. disseminated

anticipated that 100 feet more depth
will result in the location Of an ore
body carrying copper in commercial
quantity.
TUB UcxHY LEASE
Ore was encountered a few lays ago
in the tunnel on what is known as the
Hickey lease on the Blackboard claim.
The quartz carries milling values and is
similar in character to that showing in
the La Lime ledge. 1t likewise presents
characteristics of being a continuation
of the rich ore body encountered in the
early lays Of the camp on the April
Fool claim.
GOLD KING LEASE
1t appears probable that the lease on
Gold King ground being operated by
Messrs. Riley, Herman and Eakman will
soon be in the ready money class.
High grade assay returns are the rule
and not a little free gold shows in the
rock. The shaft from which the ore is
mined is of nominal depth. however. and

AME1IcAM FLAG
A crosscut is being run through the
ledge which dipped into the American
Flag shaft at a depth of 75 feet. The
ore is maintaining a gold grade very
close to profitable milling mark and 1T
appears as though a shoot of pay quartz
was at hand. The quartz is heavy with
sulphides and shows manganese of iron
and some free gold. The shaft is to be
lowered to water level at once and at
that point the ore body being explored
at the 75-foot level will again be cross
cut and drifted on.
GRANNY DBvExoP1EBMx
A number Of quartz stringers show
ing free gold and sulphides have been
encountered in the bottom of the Gran
ny shaft-300 feet. At this level a
crosscut Is being run north and south
with the object of cutting several lodges
which carry high gold values where ex-
plored by surface cuts. In the upper
levels of the mine the company has a
decidedly encouraging ore showing and
once the bodies are opened at the lower
level will have 500 feet of backs in
which to stope pay quartz. In the in
cline shaft drifting continues in pay
ore.
