in. The last mentioned are preponder-
ate and for the most part seek leases on
the Coalition, Queen, Consolidated,
ROYAL Tiger or Rawhide Rector com
panies' estates. The favor the acreage
mentioned attracts has its origin in the
many strikes of pay made thereon from
the very inception of the camp, and by
reason of the large deposits of high
grade shipping and high grade milling
ores which are being uncovered at
depth.
Mill Rock What Appeals
1t is the comprehensive area over
which medium grade milling ore is dis
seminated that most attracts the new
additions to the district IS mine making
corps. They recognize its significance
and Importance as only men who are
familiar with mining by long years of
distribution of milling grade quartz
that they see the permanent
prosperity of the local mining industry
rather than in the more cratic high
grade deposits associated with the de-
scending solutions of the secondary en-
richment. To a man they express con-
fdence in the permanent worth of Raw
hides mines.
Balloon-G rutt- Hooligan Hills
Mining interest is centered quite
logically upon development of the
Grutt, Hooligan and Balloon hills sec.
tons, those immense upheavals of por-
phyry which are located within stone 8
throw of the camps main street, and
upon which are located nearly all the
most valuable lease and company work
ings in the district. The entire trio is
a vast repository of high grade ship
ping, high grade and medium grade
milling ores. Particularly are the lodges
traversing the Coalition and Queen
estates thus characterized. The fore
going statement applies equally well to
Consolidated acreage, lying on Con
solidated hill and sweeping away to the
south thereof.
Lillian's Fine Showing
In the Lillian lease workings on the
Consolidated, for instance, is being de-
veloped one of the most promising ore
bodies in the entire camp. From sur
face to lowest level the Lillian has ever
Welded a moderate tonnage of high
grade shipping ore, the product OF
seams and stringers of s~ilicious quartz.
The leasehold is likewise well pro-
vided with deposits of medium grade
milling ore. Last week, however, an
ore body was discovered of paramount
Importance both in its relation to the
lessees and to the Consolidated COM
pany. The strike referred to consists
of a breast of ore 8 feet in width which
breaks to an average of $40 gold the
ton. 1t is standing true and strong be-
tween well defined walls in the east
crosscut from the 1O0-foot level and
presents those unmistakable signs of
persistency at depth with which nature
stamps all true assure veins. This
ledge unquestionably means fortune to
the lessees and ultimately dividends to
the Consolidated company, for it will
continue to yield its riches many years
after the Lillian lease has backed into
the vista of things past.
Coalitions Showing
An old saw runs to the effect that it
is unwise to place all ones eggs in the
one basket. If ever an exception proved
a rule, the exception to the foregoing
is found in the purchase of Rawhide
Coalition Mines company shares. There
are more shipping leases, two to one,
located on that company s acreage than
on that of any other mining corporation
owning acreage in this camp. At least
two-thirds of the ore that is shipped to
smelter and mill from here is the prod
