close proximity TO the ore body The
ore is a lead carbonate. carrying a
good percentage OF iron. making 1t an
ideal smelling proposition This i'm.
nense body of ore crops out on the
surface. assuring the company $50 feet
of stopping ground thus far
This leadsilver vein is separate
and Independent from the copper-gold
vein, where the company has not less
than 100000 tons blocked out There
are fifteen miners now at work. and
more are being put on az room Is made
for them General Manager Duncan
McVichie made an inspection OF the

camp to rush work on his and j. p
Gardner's large holdings, on which the
most important strike of this season
has been made in the opening up OF
immense deposits of quartz-porphyry
carrying good values OF copper and
gold.
Frank Little and j. T. Roundy have
seven claims about one-half mile south
of the Radenhouse-G Gardner group,
where copper can be traced for more
than 200 feet across the zone, and
further cast the writer prOspected the
surface east and west for 300 feet,
finding copper wherever the groupings
were broken. 1t goes to show that this
copper-bearing zone extends at least
two miles In length and over one-halt
mile in width.
