On tile Buzzard Shadow mine, adjoining the Lillian on the east, there has been encountered some very rich gold ure and specimens on the south wall of this same Lillian ledge, but 400 feet higher than the Lillian tunnel, this Buzzard Shadow nill is very badly |, r..

A tunnel is De- ing driven under this hill which will strike this ledge now in a few days at depth of 125 feet. This BuzzPcd Shadow tunnel which is in now 360 feet; samples taken run SIP and SIS in free milling gold The Lillian tu1- nel will reach this shaft in 500 feet more and give a depth oF 400 feet. both of these tunnels are being iriv- en through good milling ore. depth of 200 feet more can be had on both of these mines by the Jimini tunnel, which can be driven through ore the entire distance making 500 feet of stopeing ground on the Buzzard Shadow without any hcisting. The Louise mine which has been develop. ed to sonic extent. has a shaft dow. 20 feet where shipments of ore have been made from, that averaged s110| to the ton. The Thompson tunnel has exposed a four-foot ledge of S20- ore which is in now 3S6 feet; the ore in the Thompson was encountered at a depth of 80 feet below the surface The main ore is a free milling gold ore. so the company will install d 10-stamp amalgamating and conceh- tratiag plant as they have an easy haul for their concentrates to al smelter. This company has unuues- tionably a sufficient body of milling ore in sight to warrant a 40 or 50- stamp mill, but the question of first cost is probably an important one in which case a smaller mill of 10 stamps will be profitably worked on the rich ore bodies and additional stamps added From time to time ul- til there are fifty stamps in operation. Developments arc being watched by the Hone people. and the recent rich discoveries has bOomed the market for the stock which is sell IaS at 50 cents. but it is not likely that it will remain at that price very long.
