who returned from the district this
morning with John a. Kirby They
have been ln the district several days
making a close examination OF the
work being done The following state
ment of conditions was made this
morning boy Mr. Weber
After several days close inspection
Of the Phoebe King I feel justined In
telling YOU that 10 looks Ike a sure
CinCh. that we are going 90 pick up the
Prince ore bodies The east dipping
rich assures are due in about 40 feet
as near az we can figure
The formation changed in the face
of the west drift yesterday and the
shalo is identical with the formation
lu which the east dipping assures
occur Boo the Prince Consolidated. The
ground is heavily mineralized and
looks right for ore There are no wish
bile faults or displacoments IN evidence
either underground or ou the surface
between the Prince Consolidated shaft
and the Phoebe King shaft We made
an extensive trip through the Prince
and found the ore and indications
showing strength on all levels driving
north toward the King end line and
there is no reasonable probability that
the assures will not continue into the
King or that we VIII not encounter and
develop a series OF ore chutcs ana ore
bodies in the Phoebe King as they are
iu the Prince MT Lloyd superinten-
dent Of the Prince Consolidated. in
sists that we are sure 10 DO 80 and Mr.
Kirby and I feel much encouraged by
conditions as we find them under
ground in the King
MT Kirby started work on the
heddcd vein encountered at the 200 foot
level In the shaft. II as looking SPLEEN
did after driving on IL for a few feet
n shows up strong and wen defined,
with a tendency 10 widen as we work
west toward tho assure We VIII have
some tests made on the ore but as there
is galena showing. also much carbonate
scattered through the quartz. we know
II Is fairly good ore. Assays made,
when cutting through the ore with the
shaft, gave as high as 200 ounces silver
and better / think we can save the
ore TO good advantage.
PASSED THROUGH FIssURE.
ION the 300 n. level the west cross
cut passed through several small tls-
sures. hut we do not consider them OF
any great Importance although they
are heavily mineraNzed, The CrOsscut
is out 2s0 feet and the face Is In the
most encouraging formation and con-
ditlOns we have encountered II IS
possible we Will not have to drive as
far as We figure 10 pick up the big
assures. however the formation la the
Prince Consolidated Is very heavily
minerallzed and altered n considerable
distance from the ore body, and we
may have 70 drive out the limit Of ouT
measurements and perhaps little far
Their. The assures have a tendency
10 leave their main course az times.
AT a point go feet In the east cross
cut. Mr. Kirby has decided TO DRIFT
both ways on a large and heavily min
eralized assure Il shows much man
ganose and a little lead. A bedded
vein intersects the fssure, the hang
ing wall OF which shows Just above the
floor OF the crosscut This bed seems
10 be raising 10 the north and east.
BY driving north 40 degrees west along
the nssure we will prospect the bed
and the assure and I would not be sur
prsed If we opened up an ore body or
a series of them as we drive.
AT THE PRINCE.
"The Prince Consolidated is opening
up bigger and better as development
progresses. The $50 foot level is in the
best and highest grade ore they have
ever had and the Wine being sunk
on the assure Is In high grade coutin-
uOusly 10 the bottom, "a distance OF
about 30 feet The bottom OF the
Wine Is just encountering another
bedded vein which looks good. the bed
ON the 3Ue foot Lowell has opened up
into an immense ore zone; they have
drfted 10 tho north toward our Glad
stone claim q distance Of about $50
feet ON the heddpd vein from a point
325 feet north of their shaft The face
Of the ore shows just as strong and
persistent as az amy point along tho

They have opened up and have in

increased their force within the past
few days and are going after things IN

going 90 install "a hoist az the $50 level
