The Nevada-Vo1cano Mines company,
whose properties are on the Prince fissure,
now has three shafts, each forty feet deep.
1t is the intention of the management TO
go to the 500-foot level, at least, when they
will crosscut. In No. shaft recent assays
return values of $500 per ton. These sam
pies Were taken from across the vein.
Four known ore shoots exist in this vein,
and 1t is very likely that extensive devel-
opment work will be inaugurated the first
of the new year.
The Boston-Pioche shaft has passed the
750-foot level on its way to the 1,Oo0-foot
level. At the bottom of the shaft drift
has been run for a considerable distance
on the vein, which carries twelve-inch
pay streak that averages high. This is
one of the most promising of the younger
properties in the district, and is equipped
with all modern machinery for deep min

Despite the drawbacks which have
beset the operations of the DAILY West
mine to the fullest extent, the company
is again on the high road TO the full
development of the resources of the
property, and still maintains its place
as one of the most reliable and steady
dividend-paying mines of the Park
City district The past year has seen
most of the obstacles which have been
thrown I'D TO deter the smooth progress
of the work in the mine removed and
the road cleared for important under
takings. This has only been brought
about by the energetic campaign which
the Bambergers have waged against
these heavy odds.
Through the agreement which was
arranged a year ago between the DAILY
West company and the Haggin and
Hearst interests which have the On
tario property, and who are joint own
ers in the famous Ontario drain tun-
nell the work in the Daly-West prep
erty has been pushed forward during
the past year through the Daly-West
side lines where the Ontario people
left of after the cave-in in that part
Of the mine more than three years
ago. The bringing together of the
three different interests under the
management Of Mr.. Ernest Bamber-
ger. the general manager of the inter-
ests which are now consolidated. has
proven the predictions Of the DAILY
West managers that the property could
be worked more economically under
one able head.
