Shipment From Mint
Since the fling of last weeks dis
patches another shipment has gone out
from the Mint lease on the Coalition to
the sampler at Hazen. 1t consisted OF
40 tons of ore estimated to have a net
value Of $3.50 the ton. The Mint shaft
is now down 212 feet on the ledge. AT
that Level drifts have been sent out IN
both directions for a length of IL feet.
The breast of each drive is breaking to
a high shipping average and is streakeo
with seams well filed with gold In the
free. Values have always been preva-
lent in the shaft below, as well as above
the 10O-foot level, but at the 2OO-foot
no;nt. and for a few feet below, they
increased so rapidly it was decided TO
send ont drifts al the 212 in search OF
the rich shoot from which a fortune has
been already extracted at the lOo-foot
level. Judging by the manner in when
tbe breast of the drives are streaked
with free geld it is decidedly probable
the lessees will soon have as satisfae'
tory a source of revenue opened up at
that depth as in the levels above.

Last Saturday a Bottom shipment wen
to smelter from the Big Four lease OF
the estate of the Rawhide CONSOLIDATED
Mines company. The ore had an aver
age value of 5000 gold the ton and wa
mined from the high grade shoot re
leentlv encountered at the 100-foot level
! Development of the shoot is demonstrat
inc il to be one of dimensions. At thu
200 foot point a crosscut has been rui
out TO contact with it, and so far "a
tested it is showing gold as freely ant
is a~ssaying as satisfactorily as wher'
being developed above. Judging o.

ground.
