BULL VALLEY
MINE TO SHIP
Recent Strike Has 800 Sacks
of Ore Ready for Market
Gold Springs Affairs.

MOdena, May 24.-Reports from Bull val
ley indicate that as work is prosecuted on
the initial discovery everything points TO
a permanence of ore occurrence. Although
the first appearance of the gangue, owing
to its abnormal pitch, was Indicative of
a transitory enrichment at the working
point, the ledge having since Strengthened
to more vertical lines, and the fact that
the shaft is down approximately sixty
feet, in a widening gangue, and little dec
imation in values, would make it appear
that a very substantial body of ore in
place is a matter Of fact now. Three hun
dred and twenty sacks of ore await ship
ment, and when this reaches the market
and only halfway shows the claimed val
ues, il will undoubtedly Out-clmaX the
rich finds of many of the great Nevada
camps.
The only drawback to the field now ap-
pears to be Over-lOcatiOn. Parties who
can scarcely do the annual work required
on one or two claims have staked a great
number, and, under the generous laws
of this state, can hang on another year
from the first day of January, 1909. This
is usually the worst element to reasonably
deal with in a new district, From present
indications the strike is likely to develop
more sensationally than was expected at
the outset.
During the week Fred Jensen of Gold
Springs, lessee of the 4. Drake property,
shipped twenty tons of surface ore from
the Michigan claim. This is a trial ship
ment, and, while not expected 10 run IN
fancy figures, is a laudable undertaking.
Some rich sacked ore from the Beck
property at Deer Lodge was included in
the car 10 fill out the maximum capacity
| of the same. Gold Springs has consider
able ore which, if intelligently sorted,
would stand shipping and add prestige to
/ the camp. To permit ore running from
| so to $500 a ton in gold on the dumps or
await indefinite and indeterminate- reduc-
| ton benefits no camp.
| A. NJ. Schwan of Los Angeles returned
| from the Jumbo property at Gold Springs
yesterday. en- route hOmeWaTd, after an
/ inspection of not only his property but
| a greater portion of the field as well. He
/ is more convinced than ever of the eX-
/ cellenCe of the various shOWlngS. The
| Jumbo is to receive more substantial de-
| VelOpment than heretofore as soon as mat
| tiers can be arranged upon mis- return
| home. 1t is one of the big gold PROPOSE
/ lions Of the camp.
/ The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Mining company 5
! ground covering the old HOmestake mine,
/ midway between Fay and Deer Lodge, has
! been bonded, as we'll as what Is known
as the Pope group, by a representative OF
| coast parties, who intend TO erect a Gus
/ tom mill to treat not only the gold ores
/ from these properties, but from mines 1T
| the camp generally.
! The Wild Irish is receiving considerable
attention by investors just now. lnvest-
cation of the property has been frequent
/ development whic his being planned once
gets fairly underground, that barring the
! Snowflake. il will prove to be the grea L
/ est bonanza on the east side. The WHO
| Irish is a southern extension Of the Jennie
mine.
The cyanide plant of the Jennie mine is
| nearly completed, and when once gotten
into operation, should add very substan-
| TALLY TO the monthly financial returns Of
the Jennie company.

kins of West Newton. Mass; ID. +. Ladc

ing engineer of Salt Lake City, anc

pany. A party of fifteen capitalists were

| present party and then make the trip OF
their own account, reaching here abou
the middle of June.
