eessible for profit.
Several of the old leasers have now
acquired sufficient depth to crosseut to
the vein. The Mizpah and the Barber,
DOH and Stangle leases viii be cross
cutting in a short time, perhaps next
week, and should in both instances
reach the veins in a brief period. Both
leases have extracted ore from the
workings above and should uncover in
the lower levels greater ore bodies and
higher grade and then begin shipping.
The new leasers which have begun
work recently on the slope OF Mt.
Robinson and in the Lime Point sec
ton have lone so with excellent pros
poets for good production in the near
future. The present outlook of the leas-
ing field is most encouraging.
The Mizpah lease on Lime Point No.
5 is now down past the 100-foot point
in the shaft, and when 10 feet depth is
reached, it is proposed to crosscut to
the vein. From all indications en-
countered above, it is confidently be-
lieved that as soon as the vein is tapped
by this crosscut, ore extraction can be
started and the Mizpah lease can in
augurate regul !. shipments. The ore
carried in the vein above is of high
grade and almost identical in character
with that of the Great Western mine
and there is no apparent reason why a
production similar to that of the
Barber, Doll and Stangle in their
leased ground on the line of the Grand
Central group and April Fool Fraction,
nave the shaft down about 100 feet and
will start prosecuting to the vein in
the near future. The lease has already
made a shipment of ore, which was ex-
tracted above the 50-foot level, and
now it is expected that the ore deposit
ON the 100-foot Level will be found more
solidli'ed and Of greater ~ til, with
the indications ~justifying such a belief.
When the vein is cut in this ground at
the 100 level, the lease should also join
the list of steady shippers.
Stingley and Amber began work
this week on the Grand View claim,
which they have under bond and lease.
The prospecting of the vein upon which
development has begun, yielded ore OF
high grade and similar to the horn
silver ore of the Great Western. If a
depression from the manner of develop
ment work heretofore followed in this
camp should be made in this instance,
probably the shipping stage would be
reached at an earlier date and with less
expense. A good rule in primary de-
velopment where no work of extent
nearby indicates vein formation is, that
when there is ore at or near the sur
face to follow that ore with the devel-
opment work until the ore body is un
covered and the vein structure is
known. The result will be that where
the ore really is viii be knoaa and the
formation sufficiently we'll understood
to plan proper workings for the eco
nomical operation of the property and
the extraction of ore. At all events. a
true knowledge of the ore possibilities
will be much more quickly acquired
and at much less cost.
The Frances Lime Point mpan is
preparing for a vigorous scheme of de
velopment work on it's ground, and will
likely start a new shaft at the inter-
section of the main vein with a cross
vein. Probably the gasoline hoist will
be erected to quickly push the sinking
If the shaft, and everything will pro-
eeed with renewed energy.
Rogers and DeVotie are also arrang-
ing for extensive work on their leased
ground on the Panhandle adjoining the
ground of the Frances Lime Point com
pany.
The Goldield Gold Coin is
pushing work on Grand Central No. l
with good prospects.
