'"That is in the prescriptions that have

FLORENCE-GEM LEASE is
DEVELOPING INTO BONANZA

TO prove it up on all three levels. On
the 50-foot level there is good vein of
milling grade ore that carries stringers
of high grade value, picked specimens of
which have assayed up to $500 On the
100 level the ore carries sulphides and
gives returns of s51 in gold and as high
as per cent in copper. an unusual oc-
currence for that depth in this district
On the $50 the ore body is bigger anil
stronger and there is no question but
that additional depth will disclose still
higher values. The vein is undoubtedly
the extension of the Jumbo lead, and a;
it is supposedly a new vein as far as
Florence ground is concerned. its de-
velopment will be watched with interest
The Gem lease has five months yet to
run, with three months extension con-
ditional on certain amount of Develop
ment. which will no doubt be taken adj
vantage of. making eight months in
which to operate. This will give one of
the longest terms of life after findins
shipping ore in quantity, of any of the
leases of the district, and by the way
they are going after the ore there is no
doubt but the Gem will give good ac-
count of itself Three shifts were put
on Thursday morning and besides the
development of the big ore body on the
$50 level, the shaft will be sunk another
100 feet at once. and a crosscut run to
the vein. This will give 100 feet of
backs to stope from on the $50 level. and
as the block of ground will get between
200 and 500 feet of the vein. there is .
chance for record production.

will employ both the amalgamation and

of the Tramps and Gibraltar properties

adjoining properties.
The work of development has been in

1t has been known for many months
that ore had been found in the Golden
Sceptre property, but no statement in
regard to the same has ever been made
by the management. and the public had
about forgotten the fact. While the
news columns have contained articles
regarding other mills for the Bullfrog

Gold Bar. nothing has ever appeared re-
garding a mill for the Sceptre, and the
announcement that one is soon 10 be in

well regarding the size and value of the
ore bodies in the Homestake. Mayfiower

trict, but seem to hive lost sight of the
Seeptre, which is now believed to be one
of the largest milling propositions in
the entire camp.
Besides the large bodies of the lower
grades of ore. the mine is known to have
shoots of high grade. one of which is be-
ing developed by the new tunnel on the
twirler claim, and which is expected to
yield a good tonnage of ore.
The equipment at the present time
consists of a complete hosting and
