would suggest the following: While he
ground is well located, lying as it does
between the Mohawk and the Silver
Pick, it is only a fraction of a claim in
acreage, and the shape of the ground
prohibits mining OF a large scale The
Fraction is a full claim in length. but
very narrow, less than a quarter claim
in width; therefore should any ore be
found, there would be danger of the
apex question arising Located as it is,
tension, if of any value at all, would be
worth more to ~neighboring properties
than to any Independent company for
mining A shaft was put down about
$50 feet and crosscuts run to the side
lines, but no ore was found. This, prob.
ably, discouraged further work. There
is a big fault running from Columbia
mountain south and west through the
immediate vicinity of the Mohawk Es-
tension, and it is possible this groanG
is west of the fault, in which ease the
likelihood of finding ore is quite remote,
w. \. NJ t1ercer, o.(The Diamond
field Black Butte Consolidated is work
ing right along and now and then max
ing small shipments. The trouble with
that property is, that it is pockety and
spotted. High grade ore is found from
time to time, enough to pay expenses
of continued development. One or two
leases are shipping punches of high
grade, also, three or four men on one
lease shipping about enough to pay
wages. The stock is low because the
people seem to have lost confidence in
the management, rightly or wrongly.
Anyhow, there seems to be a struggle OF
the minority stockholders to get enough
proxies together to control the next an
nual meeting and elect a new set OF Of
icers and directors.
