really believe the owners OF this prop

magnitude One can almost count OH
tho fingers of the hands the NUMBER OF
really great mines, and belleNe 5the
Prince Consolidated to be one of them
Adjacent tosthe Prince mine, and ex-
tending along the same mineralizeu
zone is what was formerly known as
the Miller group This property mas
been acquired by Mcssrs. Webber. klr-
by and Iodson, andfi to form the basis
for a new corporation. Unless nature
has cut some unusual freak. when Is
highly improbable, 1t is expected that
The splendid results achieved IN the
Prince mine will be repesltea ,he.e.
Another important asset to this group
is the Golden Prince vein, opened IN
The Golden Prince mine which IS trac-
able lengthwise of the Rosy and Glad
stone claims.
The Abe Lincoln mine has record
of production 10 its credit or about
$4,000. besides large tonnage OF
developed ore in sight.
Mr.. Weber speaks in glowing terms
of the Ohio kentucky. in which, ne
states. some magnificent bodies of con-.
centrating ore have been developed, The
Demijohn mine has an encouraging
showing OF ore considerable of which
Is high grade.
He also speaks we'll of the Mendha
mine which he believes Is rapidly de-
veloping into permanent producer.
This company is shipping 90 tons of ore
per day to the United states smeiter
and brings an average or about $40
a ton in gold. silver. lead and iron.
The management of the Mendha VIII
shortly install a larger hoist and conf
pressor. This property Is developed to.
a depth OF 700 feet by an inclined shaft,
following fissure in limestone, which
is cut by numerous cross assures with
enormous ore bodies making of into,
the bedding planes.
Although Phoebe produced upwards of.
$50. 00O,0 900 In the early days, practically
no development was done outside the
uuartzite assures of the Raymond ana
Ely and Meadow Valley mines. More
recently attention has been directed 10
th., assures in the limestone with the
marvellous results already stated, Mr..
Weber declares Phoebe to be a high
grade camp That is. there Is an enor-
nous quantity of rich ore developed
| in addition to the great deposits OF low
| grade ore which cannot be worked out
| in years He says there is no doubt
/ hut what Phoebe is on the eve of great
| strides forward; that with the pos
| siblo exception of Ely it will produce
| a greater tonnage than any mining
! keep the camp back now. j is bound
| to go ahead.
| The representative citizens of Phoebe
hav.. taken steps to form q commercial
| club, something that is badly needed
| at the present time. It is proposed
| to erect {; club building and With the
! elegant furnishings which it Will con-
| tain it will probably represent an out
/ lay of between $1,000 and $4,000.
