Especial Correspondence
hornsilver, Aug. 27.-It is a relief to
your humble correspondent, as it must
be to the readers of these columns. to
De able to report something more than
the heretofore usual statement that
developing is proceeding along usual
lines, etc, etc. The developments of
the past week are notable not only for
their Importance, but also for the effect
they have had on the inhabitants of
Horhsilver. Instead of the air of lassi
tude and resignation that lately en-
veloped all, a feeling that better times
are at hand, a renewed faith in the dis
trict and a marked revival of belief in
ITS possibilities, are the dominating
features.
In the olden days a prophet sage and
hoary described the possibilities at
tendant upon comparatively small mat
ters thusly: "Behold how great a mat
ter a little fire kindlethr-and he can
be aptly quoted in this ease. To drag
from its obscurity one of our few stock
phrases, and not with any Intent of
showing our learning we would an
nounee that the ''piece de resistance
of the past weeks developments has
been the strike made on the Hornsilyer
Leasing syndicate's ground on the Sill
yer King. 1t will be recalled that for
some time the management here has
been running crosscuts north and south
from the l10-foot level; at a point 115
countered Wednesday which showed
free gold in sufficient quantities to
"startle the natives An average
sample shows gold values alone of
$420.S7, in addition to a heavy percent
age of silver; which, while not as
sayed, is more than evident to the
naked eye. Specimen pieces can be
picked up that are fairly covered with
gold and would run into the thousands.
In addition to this, the north crosscut
on this property has also encountered a
lead that average $40 in gold across
three feet, and drifting on this has been
started. The rich ore from the south
cut is being sacked and much interest
IS being taken in the developments at
this point, as all are most anxious to
learn the extent of the new strike.
The Importance of this development
is appreciated by all the King ~leasers,
and by none more than Judge Deane,
who is shaping the work on his grouni
with the intention Of going after the
vein from his present level, and at the
same time dropping the shaft an add
tional fifty feet.
The Great Western has been such q
steady and consistent performer that
one is not surprised when ore of I'M
usual richness is disclosed; yet as a
matter of interest it is pleasing to he
able to announce that at a point 230
feet east OF the smart, on the Aoo-io'l
level, eight feet of extremely high
grade ore has been encountered; the
lowest assay is $31 a ton, while a o
teen-inch streak runs $931.70; an aver
age of the entire body disclosed would
make a fine shipment, and bring forth
a fat check. Stopping in the west drift
continues and from six to eight tons
of ore broken down that will average
$3.50 a ton. The ore bins now contain
about forty tons, and hauling COM
menced last Friday.
The Barber lease on the Grand Cen
tral has sunk its shaft ffty-fve feet
and disclosed eighteen inches of ore

LESSEE PROSKEY SACKING
ORE WORTH $1,000 PER TON

Lessee Nat laniel Iroskey is saeking $1,000 ore from a
narrow seam en- his No. l lease. The vein is a continuation
of the Kearns Nc. / In all, it is between four and five feet
in widsh, the Sc ,tion of medium grade ore breaking to an
average of 1924 per ton. On the No. 2 lease ON the Coalition
estate on Grutt hill a big hosting plant is 1 being installed
preparatory to the inauguration of an aggressive campaign
of development, the principal objective being the opening
uo of III. continuation of the Mint vein to the north. Over
on the Crater lease the hoist formerly used by the Mint be
fore the installation OF the larger plant has been put in and
development work is being forced ahead with reports of a
very satisfactory showing.

mine. General Superintendent Bolam states the rich ore
shoot has consistently improved in value and size with
every foot of drifting. The erosscut from the 200 level is
being driven to open up the rich shoot exposed above and
also to prove up the iuncture of the three lenses that have
been more or less explored. In addition to the rich showing
in the south drift the crosscut from the old shaft shows
twelve to twenty feet of $25 mill rock, while in another
working a splendid shoot Of milling ore is standing.

GRUTT HILL MINING
AMONG THE SHIPPERS

From 100 to 1870 sacks a day are being filed from the
ore hois;ed at the Grutt Hill Mining company s lease on the
Wild West claim of the Coalition estate. Sack sampling
shows values of $40 per ton. The ore is coming from the
lower sfoot, which is breaking to a width of four feet. The
first shipment is about ready to be sent out. 1t will consist
of a carload. Some difficulty is being found in getting
teams 10 haul the ore to the railroad. 1t has been deter
mined that the main working shaft has been sunk between
two well defined ore shoots. Connections are to be made
with every practicable dispatch so that the yield of the
lease may be greatly increased. There is a big reserve of
high grade milling ore standing in the mine and piled up on
the dumps. From now on the mine will be a regular pro
ducer of smelling ore.

MILL FOR sKOOKUM

There will be an effort made to secure
the cooperation of all who are operat-

would give an immediate market for all
ores in the district and stimulate work
in every direction.

MILLER LEASE AGAIN
IN RICH ORE o

The Miller lease on the Coalition is again in rich ore.
After sinking the shaft to a depth of 100 feet it was found
that the working was some distance from the vein. A con.

under way at a depth of 80 feet on a fourfoot vein of SOS
orc. The shoot is maintaining an average width, with
gradual Improvement reported in the grade of the ore as the
working penetrates deeper into the ground. The Miller
