THOUSAND DOLLAR ORE
STRUCK AT HORNSILVER

south, to intercept the leads which show
so prominently on the surface, has
started. 1t is anticipated that within
20 feet the south lead should be en-
countercd, and substantial values are
expected when it is reached. There are
four distinct leads on this piece Of
ground and its possibilities arc enor-
nous.
The various ~lcasers in this immediate
district are not losing any time in de-
~veloping' their ground, and are receiv-
ing encouragement of a kind that just
ies their activity. j. j. Jordan, oper-
ating on the Silver King, at a depth of
between 40 and so feet, has received
returns on 12 samples that run from
$40 to 500 a ton, a good proportion of
these values being in gold.
The Frisbie lease has been equipped
with a within, and ore of shipping value
is being extracted; the same is true of
the Cable lease, but this ore is being
set aside, and 10 time lost in the con
tinued sinking of the shafts and getting
to a point where the shipments will be
regular and in quantity.
The Alfred lease on the Jessie claim
has ore that pans free gold, and like
wise carries a considerable amount of
galena.
The Hornsilver Leasing syndicate, of
which Capt. Hassell, r. l.. Colburn, l..
L. Patrick and L. H. Rogers are the
moving spirits, has been equipped with
within and a depth of about SO feet at
tanned; as soon as the 100-foot mark
is reached it is the intention to com
mencc prosecuting. and as there are
four different leads on the ground
which give good values on the surface
the chances of this company making
good are away above the average.
The Richards and Howard lease on
the Hornsilver Mining company ground
has reached a depth of 100 feet and are
prosecuting north and south; it is ex-
pccted that within the next twenty feet
they will catch the lead that gave 800
values on the surface; and that within
so feet they will catch the lead from
which they shipped ore on the surface
that averaged $97 a ton.
f. C. Smith, who has a lease on the
block Of ground east of the company's
working on this property, has started
a crosscut for the vein known to ira
verse his ground, and there is no ques-
ton but that when it is encountered he
will get good values. He is now at the
50-foot point, and it is believed that the
vein will be caught within the next 20
to 25 feet.
Two strikes of importance have been
made on the Lime Point property, and
one of them, made on block No. 6 being
operated by Newland is said to be of
notable richness. The other strike was
made on Murray and Robinson s prop
erty and carries hornsilver of unusual
richness.

vigorously on properties south of the
town where the larger part of the
values are in gold. But little informa-
tion has come from them, however, as
those working the properties are too
busy to tell about themselves. In fact
the spirit of the entire district seems
to be to let the properties speak for
themselves, and that their faith is not
misplaced has been and is being amply
proven.
The town continues to grow in the
quiet, substantial way that has been
the marked feature of it's development.
Active work in connection with the in
stallation Of the pipe line from Mt. Nc
Gruder has MT yet commenced, but
bids are beirg sought, estimates Sc
cured and all preliminary work brought
to a conclusion, SO that the work can
be put through without delay when
once it is started.
