ton company owns -four groups Of
| claims called Yellow Rose, Bon Ton
Sunflower and Deadwood, IL claims in
all, at Springdale in the Crystal SPRINGS
section of the Bullfrog district. Enor.
nous lodges of milling grade ore has
been opened up on the property, and a
mill. seemingly, is all that is necessary
to make it a profitable proposition. The
Bon Ton is the best group. At the zoo
level there is a 70-foot body of ore. that
assays from $40 to 81 per ton. There
is also a parallel vein which runs from
SIS to $50. This vein is from 80 to loo
feet in width. These reports were had
about the first of August. Since then.
we are told, there has been general i'm.
provement all along the line, there be.
ing a mammoth showing of low grade
ore. At a meeting of the directors at
the Pl%ankinton house, Milwaukee, .Julv
IL. the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: VIM. Pister. pres.
ident and general manager, Edward G.
I.utz, vice president, d. f. Moore, sec.
rotary, G. j. B%ertchey, treasurer.
Thomas C. Blair, superintendent. The
treasury was reported to be in ~satisfae.
tory condition.
H. H., Paris, Me. We have received
additional information on the Wyman.
Wick company's property. Beside the
claims in the Gold Mountain district
the company owns a valuable group of
claims called the Copper Reef group,
situated at Barrel Springs, about nine
miles northeast of Ida, on which con.
siderable work has been done. There is
sacked and on the dump, a number of
tons of copper ore running % per cent.
This ore will be shipped at once. At a
depth of us feet a vein returning an
average assay of $40 per ton gold, was
encountered, and since an assay on the
dump has been taken, giving an aver
age of $50. The shaft is an incline
hardly suitable for mining, and being
satisfied with conditions at the bottom
of the shaft arrangements are now be-
ing made to sink a two compartment
vertical shaft 500 feet, which will, it is
expected, make a good shipper out of
the property.
w. W., New York. There is nothing
new to report on the Goldfield Night
hawk or the East Side claims. No
work has been done on either for some
time. The Nighthawk claim is choice
and in a very aristocratie neighborhood.
Two shafts were put down on this claim
but only to a comparatively shallow
depth. Part of the ground was under
lease at one time, but the lease has not
been worked for months and has prob
ably been forfeited. Other leasers have
made application, but we understand
that DR.. Enloe. manager for the prop
erty has gone south to try TO arrange to
The East Side claim is too far south to
amount to much, or at least there has
never been any ore developed in that
section. The Nighthawk is a valuable
claim, however, and should be worked.
H. R., Milwaukee. Nevada Queen
Mines company owns Queen, Little Joe,
King, Johannesburg, Congo, Socajawea'
Wykikukym, Lightning and Transit
claims. These comprise the Queen
group of 54h acres and the Congo
group of 100 acres. No work being
done at present. The Congo, group nas
a 900-foot tunnel. The Queen group
has several shafts. Some very high as
says have been obtained on the Queens
while two lodges have been cut on the
Congo, displaying 500 ore. Henry H.
Buckley, the manager, expects to resume
work about October 10th. The present
shut down is due to the financial de
preston in the east.

agement of A. Sidney Addition, an en-
gineer and metallurgist of San fran
cisco and it is believed he will put 'he
mine in shape to produce at a goou
profit. The first work to be undertaken
will be to work out a process OF ore
traction, the plan being to place 40 !
