GOOD SH0WINGS MADE
IN RAWHIOE PROPERTIES

Rawhide. New, May 21.-Several good
strikes have been made here in the past
few days, the chief Importance Of which
has been that they tend to show perma-
nency and continuity of naturalization.
Last Saturday. in particular, was day
for strikes. and yesterday was very FAIR
successor. The chief discovery OF the
first day named was on keaTnS NO
lease, sulphide ore being opened up at
depth of $50 feet. some of the rock show
ing free gold. The location of the find
was at a distance of forty-five feet from
the dixie in which occurred the high
grade vein which the week before deVel-
Cped the most beautiful specimen ore yet
seen in the camp in the shape of ribbon
of almost pure gold.
On that day there was also ore en-
countered at the 1S0-foot depth on the
Sunbeam lease, which is located on the
side of HOoligan hill opposite the Truett
lease. The importance of this find was
that the ore was of the same character
as the Truett, and that il was discovered
nearly 200 feet below the present work
ings Of the Truett showing the chances
there are for that lease at greater depth.
Then came the news that seVen-fOOt
ledge OF sulphide ore had been opened up
in a crOsscut on the old Meyers lease on
the Silver King hill. which is TO the
northwest Of HoOligan This was at the
siXty-fiYe-fOot level, and values ranged
from $3.50 TO $1,000 The average at this
time of the ore that is being taken out is
said to be in the neighborhood of SO
ton.
Yesterday il was the turn of Hoolisan
hill again. and the Truett lease was again
distinguished, this time by the discov-
cry of ruby silver in the high grade
drift from where they have been taking
their shipping ore. Mining men consider
the presence Of silver in what has been
heretofore a gOld-bearing ledge, as indi-
cation of permanency.
On the heels of this discovery came
another in the Miller lease adjoining
where they broke into picture ore at the
130-foot level
The finding of the ore at the $50 level
Of the Kearns No. 3 has opened up con-
siderable speculation regarding that
lease. From the fact that it is forty-five
feet away from the big dixie, 1t is reason
able to suppose, and mining men declare
that the KearnS No. 3 has a ledge forty
to fifty feet, or more. in width. and it is
fair to presume that there is at least
eighteen or twenty feet of this that car
Ties the pay rock. They are still taking
out the high grade ore from the drift at
the seventy-foot level aud continuing the
vertical shaft to the 200 level.
The Murray lease of the RaWhide Con-
soldated IS looking very well indeed. At
the 100-fOot level they have run crosscuts
east and west. and they have a drift in
for sixty feet on ledge that lies between
perfect walls. the values in which go
from $50 to $40 ton. The shaft is down
40 feet and will be continued to the 200.
The Big -Four and the Lillian leases. close
bv are both prosecuting from the 100
foot level. for the high streaks which they
cut in the shafts at the upper levels.
The Proskey lease on Balloon hill yes
terday started TO sink for the ledge of
the Kearns No. 1. which it win cut with
its shaft. The ledge also runs toward the
holdings of the Rawhide Grutt Syndicate
Mines company. and when it is opened up
on both properties. Balloon hill will be a
Veritabe hive of industry.
