Placing Machinery
A hosting plant is being installed
at the old Selover-S Smith lease on the
Coalition estate, preparatory to the be-
ginning OF an extensive campaign of
development. 1t will be remembered
by readers of former dispatches from
this point that this lease recently
passed into the possession of Ohio peo-
pie. Their representatives are now on
the ground, and state that it is the
purpose to lower the main working
shaft to a depth of 200 feet as rapidly
as possible. At the same time that a
portion of the corps is engaged in sink
ing the remainder will be employed in
extracting ore from the ledge exposed
in the drift at the 100-foot level. The
quartz is greaking to an average a trife
in excess of 800 gold the ton.
Balloon Hills Hoist
Before the close of the present month
development of the Litigator claim of
the Balloon Hill Mining company will
be facilitated by the installation of a
hosting plant having a lifting capacity
from a depth of 500 feet. Immediately
it is in place the double compartment
main working shaft will be lowered to
that level, where the main ore channel
traversing Balloon hill will be erosscut
and drifted upon in search of an ore
shoot.
HOSTS for Red Top
Histing plants are en- route to camp
for the Stevens lease and the lease on
block No. . on the Red Top Fraction
estate. The Stevens shaft is nearing a
depth of 100 feet, where a crosscut is
to be run wei to ledge contact. Many
stringers of high grade quartz have
been cut in sinking to the present
depth. On block No. 2 the leasers ap
pear to be entering a deposit of sui
phide ore at a depth of % feet. Assay
returns vary from $12 to $50 gold thu
ton.
Victor In the Money
Seven feet of ore are showing in the
crosscut at the 125-foot level of No.
shaft of the Rawhide Victor Mines
company. The shoot is breaking to al
average value of $50 the ton across
width of 6 feet and is paralleled by
! 6-inch streak of tale gouge which sam
Piles 1910 gold the ton. Development o
the deposit is being pushed under rus
orders, and at the same time the shat
is being lowered to the 200-foot point
Quartz is being sacked with daily regu
larity, and a shipment will go out be
fore the end of the month. Goldfelt
capital, headed by DR.. Wheeler, Johr
Mitchell and Charles Fairfield, is be
hind the enterprise.
ogilvie-R Reynolds
Mineral indications in the breast o.
the crosscut at the 200-foot level OF thu
Ogilvie- Reynolds shaft are of the sor'
that presage the approach to an orr
shoot. The cut is now out from the
shaft a length of 90 feet, the last few
feet of formation penetrated yielding
an average gold content of $l1.oo tn
ton. The chances for uneovering the
continuation of the Kearns No. = ore
shoot in the workings within a few fee
more of driving are becoming brighter
with each days development.
