feet, being confined in well defined
walls. The gangue is a compact, blue
gray quartz having au average precious
metal worth of from $3.50 to $500 the
ton. About a week ago a "'horse''
made its appearance in the ledge to the
detriment of the average grade of the
ore. 1t soon disappeared, however,
since which time the deposit has again
broken to the average mentioned.
Grutt Hill Mint
One shipment has gone out from the
lease workings of the Grutt Hill Mint
company and another is being prepared.
AT a depth of 135 feet the main work
ing shaft encountered a streak of high
grade which presents promise of making
into a large deposit with but little
further development and at but little
greater depth. The seam is breaking to
an average of $500 the ton and is par
alleled on either side by 9 feet of $45
per ton ore. in the upper level is Eek
posed an ore body that is strcaked with
seams a~ssaying as high as 81 the pound.
Sinking is to continue until a depth of
$50 feet is reached, where a crosscut is
to be run out to contact with the ledge
opened above. The shaft is going down
at the rate of 4 rect per day.
Victor Is a Victor
Drifts are being sent out to the east
and west from the 125-foot level of the
Victor c%ompany's shaft and each is in
ore The breast of the west drive is
showing a face of 3 feet of 500 the ton
stuff and carries a seam of $125 the ton
quartz. The average daily production
at present is 3 tons of the lower grade
and 1000 pounds of the higher. This
output does not, however, in any sense
represent the actual ore yielding posi-
bilities of the holding. The latter will
be demonstrated just as soon as the
hosting plant, ordered some days ago,
is installed and in operation. Mining
at depth will then be the order, the in
tent being to block out a large reserve
at the same time that shipments are be-
ing maintained to mill and smelter:
Coalition Cullom
People of Rawhide in general have in
the past referred to Tom Cullom as
Deputy Sheriff Cullom, but since the
strike made a few days ago at his lease
on the Happy Day claim of the Coali-
tion company he has come to be known
as Coalition Cullom. Right In The
Money Cullom would appear to be the
more appropriate %pheudoym, Judging by
the character of ore being mined in the
breast of the tunnel on his block of
Hooligan hill grag and ledge. With
the full extent of the find yet to be de-
termined the miners are stripping the
ledge of treasure worth several nun
dred dollars per ton, much of which is
well impregnated with gold and silver
in the free. The point of development
is 100 feet in from the tunnels portal
and at a depth of $50 feet from surface.
Miller Offering
Additional glory attaches to the his
toric Miller lease on the Coalition
estate since the fling of last weeks dis
patches, by reason of a find of high
grade ore made in the west drift from
the 130-foot level. The pay shoot is
nearly Z feet wide, carryin 21a feet of
1920 the ton ore and 4 feet of $40 the
ton ore. The drift has been extended
for a considerable distance an the vein
and has demonstrated the shoot to be
both extensive and permanent. Ship
