very high grade ore some two or three
years ago, and Mr.. Mccarthy expects to
break into that body within the next
couple of days. 1t is expected that this
ore body will show some phenomenal
values. The Jumbo dyke is an immense
one and it takes time and lots of money
to prospect it thoroughly, but the An
mex people are going after it with deter
mination. They are working three
shifts with machine drills, with Thirty
seven men on the pay roll.
On the 250-foot level the same ore
bodies are in evidence, but they have
not vet located the pay shoot. On the
350-foot level they are prosecuting
both east and west. The formation on
the $50 foot level, as a whole, looks de-
eidedly better than anything on the
upper Levels, and the management Is
satisfied that this level will show some
thing exceedingly good. There never
has been any question in the minds OF
the parties interested in this enterprise
but that they would pick up the exten'
sion of the Engineers ore body which
was cut off by basait dyke under the

gasoline hoist has already been shipped
to Clifford which will be installed on
the new lease. A full equipment of
mine tools has also been shipped, and
active mining operations will commence
within week. 1t is expected that the
big ore body from which the Broken
Hills company is now making a spectac-
ular production will be opened up on
the Florence Consolidated lease at a
depth of not more than 200 feet The
lease runs for two years, and it is the
belief of the management that this lease
during its life will make even a greater
production than the company's Flor
ence Goldfield lease.
G. S. johnson and j. B. Cottle, presi-
dent and secretary of the Florence Con-
solidated company, will make trip to
Clifford within day or two to look
over the camp. Mr.. johnson visited the
camp a week ago and declares that in
the incline shaft being sunk by the
Broken Hills Mining company they
have the most wonderful showing of
high grade ore that he has ever seen in
Nevada, without any exception.

body vet encountered on the Florence
hill. The ore bodies encountered have
a north and south strike and dip to the
west. In fact all of the formation west
of the basalt dyke pitches to the west
and all the formation east of the dyke
pitches to the east, evidently thrown
into these different positions by the
basalt dyke which cuts all formation.
1t was this same dyke or the results OF
the latter flow that caused the manage
ment of the Florence in the early days
to abandon the ground south and east
of the main shaft, thinking that il was
of no value, but time and much work
tells another story, all of which gives
the management of the Annex No. 2
every reason to believe that there is an
other Engineers ore body within their
ground. and they are going after 1t in
way that indicates success. 1t is ex-
pected that shipments will be made
within the next week from the body

GIBRALTAR TO GET THE
RICH MOORE LEDGE

Downie ID. Muir, engineer for the
Combination Fraction and the Gibral-
tar, is greatly pleased over the discov-
cry of rich ore in the Moore lease ad-
joining the Gibraltar on the north, and
he is driving for the vein which passes
directly through Gibraltar ground, with
all haste. While the ore in the Moore
lease was found on the 200-foot level,
the prosecuting on the Gibraltar is be-
ing carried on at 500 feet, which is the
deepest work in that immediate section.
If the ore body goes down from the 200
foot point, the Gibraltar will have at
least 800 feet Of backs. The ore in the
Moore is very rich. 1t was found on
the hanging wall, and while not in a
great body, it is rich enough to leven
several feet of poorer rock and bring
it to good average.

With tonnage and value of the ore
which has startled even the old timers,
the Broken Hills Mining company has
in months time come very near the
front rank of Nevada mines. The first
payment on the property of $4,000
was made September 22d, and the new
owners started operations within a few
days thereafter. The services of w. c.
Rannels, one of the best known mine
managers in the state, were secured and
the work of getting out the ore begun.
The former owners Of the property had
sunk an inclined shaft 80 feet on the
ore, producing from this shaft alone
about $4,000 which remained in the
dumps, without exposing either wall, or
in any way indicating the extent of the
ore body. Upon taking charge of the
property the new management started
