Another property which, Judging
from development on adjoining ground
will return good results with develop
ment, is a group of four claims owned
by the Clifford Mining company. The
rich Page ledge crosses this ground for
1000 feet.
South End Of Camp.
In the south end of the camp is the
Mohawk group of six claims which is
being developed by a tunnel that is now
in about 25O feet. In a distance of 600
feet the tunnel will be under the apex
of the mountain and will have 800 feet
of stopping ground above the tunnel. On
the apex Of the mountain, where the
ledge outcrops, a vertical shaft at a
depth of 80 feet shows five feet of ore
averaging $50 a ton. Assays from the
pay streak went as high as $147. There
are two other large veins that can be
developed by tunnel at good depth.

situated Immediately east of the Cotter
Mines company. A shaft has been sunk
l45 feet on the main ledge, showing
good milling values and a well defined
contact. A southwest drift from the
75-foot level is out 35 feet from the
shaft and shows three feet of ore that
runs $54 a ton. A narrow seam of gold
ore on the hanging wall will assay up
to 81, 900. The average of the whole
vein where developed is from SIS to
$40.
There are more than 100 claims sur
vcyed in the district, and the renewed
interest there will add many more to
the holdings this summer.
Excellent surface prospects are IN
evidence on the Tin Horn group two
miles south of Golden Arrow. Paintings
of gold can be secured from any of the
veins that form a network across the
property. On the Dixie Queen and Tin
Horn claims two shafts have been sunk,
one 80 feet deep and the other 20. Both
are in good milling ore, running from
SIS to $50. The values are principally
in gold, there being a small per cent of
silver.
A 60-foot shaft has been sunk on the
Calavada group. The vein is an east
and west gold bearing ledge which
crosses the Golden Arrow and Kawich
estates.
There are some excellent showings on
the Breyfogle group, the principal de-
yeIopment of which IS a 45-foot shaft.
The Copper Spot property, which is
still owned by the Pages, has a 25-foot
tunnel and a 50-foot Wine, showing a
good vein and small milling values.
Among the most promising properties
in the southern end of the camp is the
Michigan Ely group, owned by Snyder,
Parker and Walker. The vein is about
{ six feet wide, and has been proven for
/ a distance of at least $500 feet by nu-
. merous open cuts and pits, and by two
/ shafts. the deepest of which is 65 feet.
|, Ore shows from surface to the bottom
/, of the shafts. About 100 feet of drift
: ing has been lone from the 65-foot
E shaft, exposing from three to five feet
: of ore that averages better than $50 a
ton. and much of it will run between
$35 and $40. Picked specimens show
, from $500 to 5000 per ton. Silver val
i mes predominate. Three thousand tons
of good milling ore ave been blocked
. ant. and this is being added to by con-
> slant development.
Adjoining and covering the extension
5 of the Michigan-E Ely vein system is the
n Spokane group, owned by Captain Cot
e ter. The veins are exposed in a series
n of shafts aggregating more tina ioo
g feet. and are as regular and well dehn-
ed as can be found anywhere. Several
+ small streaks of ore have been opened,
a from which good assays are secured.
TIL Midnight Scene, which is the
cast extension of the Miehigan-Eiy sys'
f. tenn. has an s5-foot shaft and a 5o-foe'
70 erosseut. The vein makes a very prom
er ising showing.
There are a number of other proper
- ties in tine district, including the Alice
4 group. the Jack Rabbit. Bunker Hi
. and others. all of which have suficien
Il development to show great prospective
merit.
