more hoists are slated for this district
right away, making three for the Yer
non basin and five in Seven Troughs
esnyon, practically within the town
limits of Seven Troughs.
The first is being installed by the
Monette Mining and Milling company
today on the Dixie Queen, half mile
north of the Seven Troughs mine, and
the other will be erected on the Bard
lease on the Therien ground at Seven
Troughs as soon as the machinery can
be brought in.
The installation of the machinery at
the Dixie Queen is preliminary to deep
mining following series OF surface
showings that have revealed an i'm
mense quartz lode carrying values and
believed by mining men here to be a
north extension of the famous Seven
Troughs vein. The identical contact
system of this vein has been plainly
traced across the country through the
Florence lease of the Seven Troughs
Florence Mining and Leasing company
to the Dixie Queen shaft for fur
ther confirmation is found in the sur
face values that assay up to $84 ton.
will be crosscut on the 100-foot level.
The operation of hoist at the Bard
lease marke the inauguration of an
active campaign by the lessees to get
down at least 800 feet on the fabu-
lously rich Mazuma Hills zone follow
ing the strike of the famous Therien
of more than a wee ago, carrying this
canyon to the south. Nearly half Of
this depth has already been covered
with whim and it is considered sig
nifieent that at the botto mof the
shaft lies exposed 20-foot ledge, as
saying from "a to $8 to the ton and
from which an assay o. less than -
cannot be obtained. The great The
rien strike carrying 80 a pound rock
to the surface adjoinining the Bard
lease on the north.
True to expectations the mommoth
contace vein on the Badger Hill of the
Fine Gold, being followed by the two
lessees, George and English, on the
lower tunnel level has lead into what
promises to be an enormously rich ore
shoot. The approach of the strike yes
terday was heralded by a noticeable
increase of enrichment of the ground
and today the face of the tunnel shows
several varieties of ore with a choice
streak of sulphides on the foot wall
from which paintings indicate at least
$500 ton ore.
The entire vein is ore from wall to
wall and values are increasing as
rapidly as the tunnel advances ad-
vances into the shoot and picture rock

of shots. The discovery is at depth
of about 100 feet, and the certainty
Of sensational discoveries is oased up
on the surface showings discovered q
few days ago when Mr.. George un-
covered the contact and discovered
near q foot of marvelously rich ore.
The tunnel will be directly under this
surface showing in 40 feet.

in were granted the Badger Hill would
be entirely appropriated by Ieasers.
