dyke, that immense ore body which up
lifts at various points for a length of
more thar $500 feet and for a width of
l 1900 feet, takes in all of Hooligan hill.
There is no point along its auriferous
extent where precious metal values are
greater, and but few where they are so
great.
Clinker- Yellowstone
At the Clinker lease on block No. 3
of the Happy Day claim a hosting
plant has been installed preparatory to
sinking a depth of 800 feet before cross
cutting. Such stipulation is in the lease
contract and may be considered as be-
ing indicative of the faith the leasers
have in the holding. At a depth of IS
feet the shaft is passing through ore of
fair milling grade. Adjoining on the
west is the Yellowstone lease, located
on block No. l of the Happy Day claim.
A crosscut tunnel has been driven into
the hill a length of 200 feet and near
its face a drive is now being sent north
on a 2-foot body of milling ore.
Nugent Lease
At the Nugent lease, adjoining the
Clinker lease on the east, and being
located on block No. 5 of the Happy
Day claim, the hosting plant recently
installed went into commission the pres
ent week for the first time. The work
ing shaft is down 100 feet and is to be
driven a depth of 200 feet before cross
cutting to contact with a well enriched
assure that makes in from the Grutt
hill section. SO far as proved up within
the limits of the Nugent block the ifs
sure has yielded a very encouraging
gold content. The general average value
across 4 feet is $12 the ton. Streaking
the formation are narrow seams of high
grade showing considerable free gold.
The latter return almost any sort of
premier assay valuation.
Portland Miller
The shaft at the Portland lease To-
Gated on block No. . of the Happy Day
claim, is down 20 feet. From its bot
tom a crosscut has been run east IS
feet in ore, and into the hill a length
of 100 feet in ore. Near the heading
of the east cut a Wine is being sunk
in ore. From the latter a small tonnage
of specimen quartz has been conserved.
Development is facilitated by means of
a hosting plant. High grade ore CON
tinues to associate with development of
the ore body recently discovered in the
drive west from the bottom of the winze
sunk in the floor of the 70-foot level of
the incline shaft at the Miller lease.
From the bottom of the main shaft
depth of 100 feet a drive is being
sent west to connection Herewith. All
drives and crosscuts in all portions of
the workings are in ore. The shaft is
equipped with a powerful hosting
plant.
The Truett Lease
At a depth of rs feet in the winze be-
ing sunk neal the face of the northwest
crosscut from the 70-foot level of the
Truett lease shaft on blocks Nos. 4-6 of
the Happy Hooligan claim, specimen
ore is being mined. Much of the quartz
shows free gold in quantity and has a
value of dollars per pound. From floor
of drift to bottom of WINE the ore
breaks an average of SIS the ton, with
the screenings sacking at from $45 to
$S5 the ton. A small hosting plant was
installed last week at the collar of the
winze. From the 70-foot level a raise
has been sent up in ore a distance of
go feet, its average grade being about
on par with that mined from the Wine.
East of the shaft a drive is in ore a
length of 305 feet. At the collar of the
main shaft a powerful hosting plant is
installed.
Rickard-H Holland
The shaft at the Richard Holland
lease On block No. 10 of the Happy
Hooligan claim has an incline depth of
so feet. 1t is in pay mill ore from col
lar to bottom. From the bottom a cross
cut is out to the east so feet in ore. To
the west the crosscut reached contact
with the west wall of the Coalition
dyke, after passing through IA feet of
mill rock. Paralleling the contact is a
finch section of quartz which gives an
assay return as high as $4,000 the ton.
The riches from hat streak are segre-
gated from the ore of lesser value and
will be sent to sampler by express. The
ore at present being sacked has an
average value of 500 the ton and
screens about 5 tons to one ton of over
size. The latter has an average value
of SIS the ton.
Marian Miller
At the Rawhide Miller lease (not the
lease) the shaft is down so feet.
From it's bottom a crosscut has been
run west so feet. 1t is just entering
what appears to be the north continual
ton of a assure making in from either
the Truett or the Miller. The lease
hold is located on block No. 3 of the
Happy Hooligan claim. The Marian
shaft is down 1870 feet in block
