resembles that in the Mizpah mine.
The double compartment shaft
which is being sunk on the Racine
group of claims is now down thirty
feet, with a five-foot ledge with ex-
c~ellently defined walls. The rock
from the ledge shows values of SIC
per ton, the value principally in gold.
The shaft will be sunk to the 200
foot level, and then prosecuting will
be started to penetrate a couple of
parallel lodges which have excellent
surface showings.
DR.. Whitewolf of San Francisco,
who owns a group of eight claims at
Gold Reef, has just made arrange
ments to have a single compartment
shaft put down 200 feet. Two men
are working on the property now,
and the force will be increased. as
soon as a little more depth is reach
ed. There is a ledge of fine milling
ore-a blue silicate quartz-on this
property, five feet in width and well
defined. No test as to the values OF
the rock has been made as yet.
There are several lodges on the
Whitewolf property, and when the
shaft reaches the 200-foot level cross
cutting in an attempt to penetrate
these will be commenced.
The shaft on the Kris Kringle
property, owned by Onie Doherty and
Tom Fleming, of this city, is down
forty feet, and this also has a five
foot ledge Of milling rock, samples
from across which show an average
value of SIG and better. This rocl

at Gold Reef

James Grimes, one of the opera
tors of the Toggery lease came to
town last night, and reports that the
lease is looking better all the time,
The shaft on the Toggery, which is
on an incline, following the vein,
which has a dip of about 80 degrees,
is now down 105 feet, and drifting
with the ledge has been commenced
on this level. The ore shoot is fif-
teen inches in width at this point,
and numerous small %stringers out
side of the main ore shoot seem to
be ~converging toward a junction in
the direction in which the drift is be-
ing carried. Ore has been sacked
from the grass roots downward. and
the whole fifteen inches of the main
ore shoot is being sacked in the drift,
This ore averages $35 to $500, as at
points in the vein spots of phenom,
email richness are encountered. The
ore is free milling, and specimen:

Big Body of Tin
In White Pine

j. j.. Burns, an old time prospec-
tor of this section, came in from the
Shellbourne district about two weeks
g with some ore that he could not
classify, says the Ely Mining Record.
He showed it to many well informed
mining men, and they all stated that
it was new to them. Some of them
thought it might be tungsten, others
pronounced it anthony or specular
iron. That it was ore all were con-
WINGED, on account of its weight and
because metal could be seen all
through it.
Finally it came under the obser-
walton of a Cornish miner, who
stated that it did not come from this
eonntry because it was rock tin, and
ore Of that character had never been
found in TIL. country.
This put Mr.. Burns to thinking,
and he called on d. c. Mcdonald,
who is not only wise to most ores,
but always has an eye open for any
thing that is good.
Early on the following day Mr..
Burns and Mr.. Mcdonald hit the trail
for the new camp, and returned with
pieces broken from the ledge, which
is stated to be 100 feet wide and
cropping out for 5000 feet. They
returned in a few days with many
samples, several of which were sent
to the Mining and Scientific Press for
classification, and a few days later
they received the information that
the ore carried tin ranging in value
from IL to 80 per cent. The ore also
carried 2 3-S per cent wolframite and
some tungsten.
While on the ground they located
twenty-five claims, in FIVE of which
