Mines and Mining Stocks

camp with its manager. never once
was | asked what l thought of il; moi
once was an attempt mdde by any
body to in any manner influence me
in my Judgment. / know there are
other small stockholders like myself
who would be glad to have a state
ment from some source other than
through the management or the
heavier interests, so, if you say any
thing about it. don't elaborate on What
say, for / do not wish TO be misun-
derstoOd, and. above all, | don't want
TO say anything that is not true.
The Wabash is not yet a mine, but
il looks good to me, just the same The
property is well equipped, and there
has been a tremendous amount of IN
foreground work done. 1t has beer
well done, and l have no doubt that il
has all been necessary to prove the
value Of the region in which the prop
erty is located. l say this advsedly
because in the short time at my dis
pOsal il was a physical impossibility Il
see more than fraction of the work
ings.
New Ledge Being Tapped.
''AH interest now centers il that
portion of the cOmpany's holdings
where the big ledge was tapped sew

myself To saying what | found there
The ledge has been followed along IN,
hanging wall side for a distance of AS
feet. AT a point about 100 feet from
the point where it was opened a raise
of seventy feet has been made, while
at another point the ledge has beer
crOss-cut for eighty feet, and this drift
has been extended 200 feet beyond. A
the present moment this cross-cut drift
is being pushed through a body Of
quartz that is shot full of iron pyrite:
and possibly other mineral. The face
of the drift was just working out o.
the poTphyry and into the mineralizeC
quartz when / made the inspection
and it looked so good that il seemed
impossible that it could be EXTENDED
great distance farther WithOu
breaking into ore. This is the lates
significant showing TO have been made
underground, and / think this is th'
first mention ever made of the change
II looks to me as though another ledg'
was being entered and that it wa!
going 10 be a good one.
Upraise and Main Drift.
In the upraise mentioned the las
twenty feet has been through ore al
the way: not all high grade. by an!
values are scattered and shot prOmis
cuously. with lots Of il better thar
might be suspected. Lead can be seer
all through the mass of ledge matter
i'm the top of the drift. and it is eviden
that there has been a persistent anC
gradual improvement all the way NJ
for the last twenty feet. This rais'
looks as though il ought to develop {
great shoot of highgrade shipping or
at any minute.
AT the face of the 450-fOot drift from
the point of contact by the long drift
from the Ccmpany's operating shaft
the showing is now better for the max
ing of big ore body than at any time
I saw several tons of fine ore that hal
been taken out in sending this drift in
and the face now shows nine feet of a.
pretty quartz as one could wish TO see
and the naturalization through it il
becoming so general that ] cannot hell
believe other than that a big shoot o
fine ore is being approached. No on
can say what is going to be deVelOpe,
here, but three faces are now beinI
pushed into ground which is entitled t.
make d big mine at any time
