raise with No. 3. In the lower tunnel
an upraise was started away from the
foot.wall. which caved in and was not
continued. Most of the drifting from
this tunnel has been done through the
quartz which measures nearly 100 feet
wide, but good ore was found near the
foot-wall with indications Of the pres
ence of a shoot of ore close at hand. Iu
a drift to the south from tunnel No. 4 a
cross vein Of tale two feet wide with
iron streaks on both sides was cut which
carries silver and gold. n sample as
saying s. in the yellow metal.
Another miueralized fissure shows OF
the surface about 1000 feet west Of the
Meister ledge and the lower tunnel was
continued 800 feet in that direction to
prospect for it. making the full length
of tunnel No. 4. $500 feet. All the tun.
nels are driven on an absolutely straight
line aud are first-class work. The
amount of ore developed was recently
estimated by a prominent engineer to
amour to %. 900 tons.
Tunnel No. 4 is about 800 feet above
the level of Newark valley where water
was struck in a wella ~ feet. when some
high grade ore was also found, indicat-
ing that good ore will be found at water
level in the assure, which point could
be reached in a winze from the tunnel
at the least expense. The property is
just developed to the stage where it can
be made a large producer Of shipping
ore and offers a fine opportunity as a
concentrating proposition.
The Morsantini Mine
j. B Bale of Eureka has three claims
on the Meister ledge joining Mr.. Meis-
ter's group on the south where the ledge
has been found to be as regular and con.
tain shipping ores. Development is
through two tunnels. and from the up
per one and from the surface groupings
shipments have been sent out aggregat-
ing thousands of dollars in value of ores
averaging over 800 per ton. The lower
tunnel is in 600 feet and cuts the ledge
250 feet below the 9th sr one. About 20
feet of drifting has been done from this
tunnel and the ledge proven to be from
3S to 60 feet wide with good lunches of
carbonate and sulphide ore from which
the last shipment of eight tons brought
a check for $3.50 to the owner. The tale
on the foot-wall carries a few dollars in
value. Mr.. Bale expects t o put men to
work and do considerable work this
Winter, which will no doubt increase
the value Of the property.
The Daily Group
Adjoining the Meister group on the
north and lying between it and the Bay
State, Nick G. Daily of Eureka has
several claims on the main ledge and
has done a large amount of develop.
ment with the result of finding the con
ditions the same as in the Meister prop
erty, with the value Of the ore abou,
the m Some work has been done
on the other mineral belt which lies
higher up on the mountain west of the
Meister ledge with good results in find
ing pay ore and where the owner is do
ing additional development work to
make a steady producer Of the group.
The Hui Group
Another sectioon OF the Meister ledge
is owned by p. H. HUI of Eureka, which
has been the source of profitable mining
at various times. The ore is the same
high grade carbonate of lead and silver,
and the total production has exceeded
$4,000. although no extensive develop
ment work has been done on the group
which has all the ear marks of a good
mine.
