they go down.
The feature of the development of
the property Of the company last year,
outside the discovery of the sensa-
tfonal ore on the 400-foot level, was the
finding of two mines instead of only
one. A drift was sent out into the
limestone to see If ii was the footwalI

nese and lead which is being developed.
This work had progressed only a nat-
ter or twenty feet when an entirely
new parallel vein was broken This Is

value in gold. This assure is entirely
different and distinct from the Prince
iron-lead ore body.
The average width of the assure is
I from two to four feet. and all of il is
rich shipping ore. Some portions of il
run as high as 600 ounces silver, $25 in
gold and 80 per cent lead per ton The
company has drifted on this vein On
the 300-foOt level for $50 feet; Il mas
also been opened on the 200-foot and
i00-foot levels.
The big body of ore in the Prince
mine is iron and manganese. II car

The Prince mine is in the low-lying
foothills and about two and one-hair

II is the intention Of the company to
erect mill for the treatment Of these
taillngs in the coming year Unless
the advent Of 4 sTnelter which is con-
templated at Milford should alter their
plans, this viii be done in the near fu-
ture. The mine has just been equipped
with a new 1GO-horsepOwer compressor.
and more progress Is now being made
in opening up the ore. Water is piped
to the mine from the Phoebe water sys-
tenn, telephone line put in and an as

ments, such as boarding houses, a
blacksmith shop and stable. have also
been built during the past year.
