Raising to Surface at Railroad Track
On the second level Superintendent
Lisle is making a raise to surface at a
point about 200 feet north of the glory
hole. The raise will be used for a tim.
Der way and also for a chute to handle
custom ores, mention of which has been
made in these columns in a previous
issue.
Important Uncoverings on 200 Level
On the 200 level, at a point about 200
feet west Of the old shaft, the new man
agement has made an important discov-
cry. A six-ineb streak of tale on the
east slip assays s160 to the ton, while
a face of three feet of good mill ore is
exposed, with another streak Of tale on
the west slip. The ore is going away
from the fault in a southwesterly direc.
tion, and in Mr.. Lisle's opinion viii de.
velop into another big shoot of eom.
mereial ore. This may be said to he in
what Mr.. Krumb considered doubtful
territory.
Continuing along the west drift on
the 200 level, Mr.. Lisle showed me q
face of ore in a drift run 10 or 20 feet
south from the lateral, and stated that
the face sampled SIS a ton in gold. Tho
material here is more rhyolite than any.
thing else. This is the second import
! ant discovery west of the old shaft on
the 200 that has been made by the new
management.
One Mucker in Glory Hole
One lone mucker is drawing ore from
the glory hole on the 200 level. And he
is the only man sending ore from the
glory hole to the mill, which puts to
flight the oft-repeated piece of gossip
that the Shoshone mill was depending
almost entirely upon the glory hole for
ore.
-Four Shoots in Mill Ore
In the 205 stope on the 200 level,
there are four shoots filed with ore, ex
tending from the tunnel level, 100 feet
above. Three of these chutes are under
the open ground; i. e., under that por-
ton which has been broken to daylight:
and the fourth shoot is under solid
ground. The fourth stope is up 60 feet
and one Shaw machine is breaking down
the ore. Mr.. Lisle says that one man
can break so tons a day at this point.
The ore shoot in the POS stope is over
100 feet in length, and at this time ore
for the mill is being drawn from three
of the shoots and not a pound is being
sorted.
The 16-Foot Tale Streak
Another piece of "new ground is
the "16-foot tale streak as the man
agement designates it, opened north OF
the glory hole on the 200 level. The ore
was low grade in the lateral, but a few
feet of drifting exposed better values,
and for 35 feet Mr.. Lisle told me that
his assays ran from $25 to $50 a ton,
and he volunteered to bet any man a
suit of clothes that an assay under $50
could not be secured anywhere from the
block of tale, so far as exposed. The
tale disappears to the east and how far
it goes back into the hill is a question
which Mr.. Lisle hopes to solve as soon
as he can get to it.
The fourth new thing on this level IS
the opening of 20 feet of ore that aver
apes from So to $14 a ton, which deposit
had not beer touched by the former
management.
Something That Was Overlooked
Farthest east on the 200 level, where
the manganese quartz vein had been
drifted on for over 500 feet, but which
shows only spotted values Quoting
from Krumb's report), Mr.. Lisle has
crosscut into what was supposed to
have been the footwall, but the cross
cut exposed an excellent grade of mill
ing ore, which, with all reasonable as
surance, may extend along this drift to
it's end. Nothing has been lone to
demonstrate the contrary of the theory,
but the work so far done shows that
what was supposed to be the wall IS
only a slip in the ledge and that the
real values in this persistent vein lie
to the south of the drift. Mr.. Lisle has
raised on this new ore and put in a
shoot and after raising about 30 feet,
drifted to one of the approaches OF the
glory hole. The tonnage in sight at this
point is enormous, the machine drill
having already in two days broken
down so much ore that a great chamber
has been formed, perhaps % feet in
diameter, with ore on all sides, top and
bottom. This virgin territory is also q
valuable asset to the credit of the new
management.
Polaris Has Lots of Ore
From the station at the 300-foot level,
Mr.. Isle conducted me through the
