pass in extent and richness any find in recent years in The Big Bug district was uncovered recently m the Grace claim, sn extension of the Jessie mine. seven hundred fee, west of ,he Jessie working shaft, at a depth of three hun. dfed feet. The strike will infnsc new life into the Jessie mine, which has a record in production uf over ss00. COG in gold. Presiden, John x. Jones. of the Jessie Mines Company, is now ar ranging to start development opera iions at ihe new find on larger scale than at any time since the palny day. Of the Jessie. when its rica mineral treasures were exploited by Frank wrieh; of this city, netting him a handsome fortune.
 The new find is due to the persis ience. energy and judgment of John & Jones, who found the ore after run. ming drift goo feet along cross vein through ground almost barren, the ore body being uncovered in a crosscut. As result of the discovery a new work. ing shaft will be made at a point to be decided later on the new find. the shaft to be made from an upraise from the bottom. Drifts are being run each way on the ledge, which is now opened a distance of fifteen feet showing four feet Of ore, part of which samples from t10 to 800 to the ton. with seven feet of ore of lower grade and vcing filling that samples $50 10 the ton.
 Speaking of the new find to Jour. nal Miner man yesterday. President Jones stated that he believed it to be the most important discovery ever made in the mine. He is arranging to push its development as fast as possi. ble. so that the Jessie mine may be req. sonably expected to be on the shipping list again in very shor, time. Sur. face indications are that the new ore shoot extends along the vein disance of several hundred feet as the andesite cappings extending along the surface appear to be replaced by the ore body now being opened beneath.
 West of the Jessie shaft, the Jessie vein IS intersected by several cross veins Extending the drift on the 300 foot level west from the Jessie shaft, one of the cross lodges was followed a distance of nearly 200 feet, hardly any ore being found. Jones, in ms investi- gations, discovered that the vein filling in the drift differed in character from that of the Jessie. He started a cross. cut and after running forty fee, broke into the rich ore body described. The vein filling of the new find is sim. liar to that of the Jessie, the ore being also of the same charaeter.-H He is now satisfied that he is working on the Jessie vein and is confident that an. other mine will be opened equal, if not superior, as n producer Co the Jessie mine, which has now blocked out in its mile of drifts and crosscuts lO,00O worth of ore, according to n recent es. tjmate of conservative mining engin. eer
 The Jessie mine was discovered and located by Jones in 1889. The sue ceeding three years it was the largest shipper in the Big Bug district Ore of milling grade, estimated in value at $3OO,O00, is now lying on the dumps awaiting the installation of n large reduction plant for treatment.
 The company's holdings comprise fourteen claims and Tancn of 160 acres on the Agua Fria river, six miMs east of the mines, which covers val able water right. The Jessie mine is exploited 10 a depth of 650 feet.
