of six men in Justice Duncan's court
returned a verdict awarding damages
in the sum of / cent and costs in the

MINERAL HILL AND orEno

Exploration of Mineral Hill and Otero
acreages has established the eastern
strike of the Mustang-Thanksgivlng
contact and the presence therein of a
series of pay shoots at points well to
the east of the Mustang. The west
drift at the 20O-foot level at the Mineral
Hill mine is in the ledge better than %
feet. The ore body varies from 5 to Z
feet in width, shows some free gold and
carries a heavy deposit of ~sulphides.
This drift is to be continued for a length
of 800 feet with the object of blocking
out ore. 1t is not unlikely that the com
pany will establish a mill at the mine.
The north crosscut at the lower level OF
the Otero has been run a length or 30
feet and within 80 feet more OF drifting
the first of a series of lodges encoun-
tered in the shaft will be tapped. The
formation in the breast of the cut is
quartz. Gold values range
from 81 to $50 the ton. The ledge now
being sought is the one which dippeo
from the shaft at the 10S-foot point, ana
which from a few feet below the SURFACE
to that depth yielded such high grade
gold values. This ledge alone estab-
fishes the worth of the property were IL
unattended by Others. AS a matter OF
fact. however, the Otero management
encountered several more veins while
sinking the main working shaft. all or
which are to b proved up in the sui
phide zone by means of drifts radiatlng
from the present crosscut.
