wanas and other properties in that To-
cality that are well thought of. Consid-
cradle work has been done and some
good lodges located. Some diamond

drill. public was not enlightened. The
leases on this ground are closed down for
the time being along with all other work
in camp. We are not advised as to the
company's future plans. The stock Of
this company is worth holding. At least
1T should not be sacrificed at present
prices. The contractors who are to put
down the diamond drill 500 feet on the
Grandma property of Goldfield had bad
luck on the first hole as. owing to some
defect in the drilling apparatus. the
work proceeded very slowly and at a
depth Of ESQ feet the head of the drill
jammed and it was found impossible to
pull it out. AS a result of this serious
mishap a new drill had to be sent for
and more time was lost. But now work
has been started again and the new hole
is already down 65 feet. The new i'm
plement is working splendidly and the
hole is going down at the rate of two
feet an hour The new point of opera
ton is 100 feet down the hill from the
first hole and at the present rate of
progress the first 500 feet. which is the
depth at present contracted for, Will
soon be completed.
