to this end. And it is stated that a
large force of men is to be put to
work.
HIDDEN TREASURE-There has
been some talk of resuming work
on the main property of the Hidden
Treasure, but while the talk is 60
ing on the leasers on the property
continue to make money for the
owners in the way of royalties.
Leasers and ~sub-leasers are both
gratified with their outputs, and the
stories of their successes are best
told by the number of shipments be-
ing made.
MCDONALD ELY-This is another
property ON which word to start
work may be received at any time.
There was some decay on starting up
caused by a reported deal of the
company, but evidently, the owners
are not anxious to part with their
ground at this time, unless the con-
sideration be very well worth WHILE

money than it did. 1t still has the
vein, a lot of ground, good mine and
tenement dwellings and can be re-
started at a few days notice.
ELY CENTRAL-The three com
partment shaft on the Eureka frac-
ton of the Ely Centeral is down 225
feet, and they are in the pink rhyo-
lite which lies above the ore in the
steam shovel pit. The shaft is prac-
tically dry, the station at the 200
level to catch the water from the
upper levels having been completed.
From the station. enough water is be-
ing pumped to the surface to supply
the mine with all it's requirements,
with a surplus for the Nevada Con-
solidated. On the Clipper claim
they are charging the shaft to
three-compartments, and have the
collar set. Drilling was begun dur
ing the week on the Tiptop claim,
near the southeastern end of the
property. One drill is now at work
in the leached porpnyry, and another
will be added in a few days.
BOSTON ELY-Nothing new is
to be added to the record of the Bos-
ton Ely. They are still sinking, the
shaft being down 1,04O feet, and
still in the hard stuff through which
they have been going for more than
200 feet. Confidence has not abat-

ed a jot as to the ultimate result OF
sinking, for expert opinion declares
that there will be found a big mine
under the great mass of leached ma
terial. 1t would be strange, indeed,
if this were not the case, for traces
of copper have been found in the
shaft, and the only possible course
of this could be downward. The
management is very well pleased
with results to date.
ELY CALUMET-The machinery
for the Ely Calumet is on the road
and should be 1t the mine within
the next few days. G. l.. Richard,
who now. has full control of the
property, returned from Salt Lake
and Duluth during the week, and
says that work is to begin immedi-
ately upon the arrival of the ma
chinery, and that the work will be
rushed. They will start a shaft
from a high elevation and follow the
ore, getting well down into it before
doing any lateral work. Then an
extensive development campaign will
begin.

Johnson of the Federal Ely has re-
turned to the district, and has an
nounced that work on hat property
is to be resumed as soon as possible.
