" The Nabob is almost undoubtedl
a big mine. 1t has deservedly a,
tracted more attention of late tina
any other property in the Wardne
district by reason Of the unusual an
startling success which has resulte
from recent development work. |
has Joined the list of shippers, hav
Ing sent two carloads of high grad,
ore to the smelter. 1t has now sucl
q body of clean galena in sight tina
1t could easily ship carload a weel
should the management decide ii
favor Of such a policy, and keep ;
4 100-t0n mill running ON concentrat
ing ore at the same time.
The Nabob mine originally con.
l sisted OF two claims ON Stone gulch
a tributary of the East fork of Pine
creek, some six miles from the O. K
& NJ, with which it is connected bs
good wagon road. Lately 10 more
claims, covering tunnel site, have
been added to its holdings.
The two original claims, the Ma
bob and Crystalite, cover two par
allel veins which have been develop
ed by 325-foot shaft and some
100 feet of tunnels and drifts. The
shaft and most of the other work is
on the Nabob vein, but there is one
tunnel on the Crystalite or south
ledge. Work is now progressing In
three different parts of the property
and all working faces are in good
ore.
The Main Workings.
On the Nabob vein drifts are be-
ing rum on the 1O0-foot level In both
directions and a raise in the east
drift Is now up As feet. The ledge
Is Ii feet wide and the paystreak
from three and a half to five feet in
width. The ore body would proba-
bly, average 20 per cent in lead. The
silver values are unusually good.
No work is being done at present
below the 100-foot level in the
shaft but 1t shows ore bodies run
ming as high as 80 per cent in lead.
In the bottom the ledge is nine feet
wide and a drift to the east 1870
feet long shows 18 inches of this
high grade ore. The drift to the
west would have to be run 200 feet
to reach the west ore shoot.
The West Shoot.
Some 225 feet west of the shaft
the vein was tapped by crosscut
tunnel. A drift $50 feet long has
been ruin on the ledge there and
Wine was put down 80 feet. This
winze shows from four inches to
two and half feet of 80 per cent
lead ore besides some smaller string
ers of concentrating ore and car
Donates. The ledge has not been
crosscuI here.
The CrystaiIte Vein.
On the Crystalite vein there is a
drift tunnel $50 feet long, which is
In concentrating galena ore all the
way. With hand sorting consider
able shipping ore Is being mined
from this working. An upraise and
winze are being made from this
level at point where the depth is
about $50 feet. Both are in ore and
the Wine shows four feet of high
grade concentrating stuff.
Is Under Bond.
The mine is under bond to Fred
]. Rowlands Of Butte and D. F. HOl-
lahan Of Spokane, both of whom are
In New York now In connection with
q transfer Of their bond. George d.
Stone Of Spokane is the principal
owner and l.. w. Gay and H. M.
Ross of Kellogg are the only other
large holders OF stock.
Nab0b stock has recorded nota
BILE advance In price during the last
few weeks and 1t can be safely pre-
dicted that 1t will 60 much higher
before long. No better speculation
Or investment appears to offer Just
now. M
