Gold Grown Group

j. w. Sampson, OF Sampson &
Port, owners OF the well-known Gold
Grown group, reports excellent prog
ress on the development work. They
are now sinking on the vein, and
have their shaft down forty-five feet.
The vein matter is fifteen feet wide
at this depth, with the ore on the
hanging wall; later on prosecuting
to the hanging-wall will be the pro-
gram, and 1t is expected that a good
body Of ore, with the rich values en-
countered above, will be cut. They
have had excellent assays repeatedly,
the best values being 1924. This
was from a decomposed ore, full of
horn silver. Mr.. Sampson states that
they have lately refused good offers
for the property, and are working it
with the expectation OF showing up
a good mine in the very near future.
1t is a we'll known fact that several
of the most prominent mining men
of Goldfeld and San Francisco have
made bids for this group, but so far,
none of them have touched the price
at which the owners value their hold.
