Bannock, New, Nov. 25.-Bannock is at
tracing more attention. apparently
among Salt Lake mining men than among
the men of similar calling in this state.
Hardly a week mas gone by but there is
some one here from Salt Lake. This week
three men well and faVCrably known IN
the investment world went over Treasure
Hill, made a careful study OF the sltua-
ton and the work carried on, ana as d
natural consequence were very tavorably
impressed. They were Frank j. hageL-
barth, head Of the WOODS investment
company, extensively interested IN i've
stock, mining and other big business en-
terprises; w. II. Felkler, capitalist'
and Charles Gitsch, well-known mining
engineer. They We're guests OF GeorsS

been with him in the Jersey valley, hum
bOldt county, where they are likely 10
become interested in a lead prOducHs
property. They were given every taclllty
for observing the promising GQhq a., 4s
here and promised another visit IN the
near future.
Simultaneous with their appearance in
camp came the news from the new flnd
of the Bannock Mining & Leasing COM
pany, that more free gold had been en-
countered IN the ledge, on which a deptn
Of about five feet has been attained, ana
that the formation had changed in the
tunnel being run by the main holding
company. This indicates a near approach
to an ore body, and had natural erect

things when the miners get beneath the
shaft in which the high-grade lies.

many sections the presence of many veins
is a good indication, but in this forma-
ton that situation is changed.
Mayer-Reber in High-Grade.
The condition in the Mayer-Reber shaft
on block 2 was more encouraging than
ever Tuesday night. The men opened
streak of quartz six inches wide that
pannsd = value of 500. This smart is now
within nine feet of being as deep as the
"glory hole" and as ii lies within twenty
feet of the latter. there is good founda-
ton for the belief that a body of rich ore
will soon be opened for sacking.
J. b. Williams and George W. Abel,
two well-known Nevada stOckmen, it is
said are arranging 10 buy into the lease
on block u held by c. W. Robe its and
George HALEY. At the bottom of twelve
foot shaft the leasers have six inches of
quartz that assays S54 gold to the ton,
and this they are sacking.
The bullion shipped out by the Nevada
Omaha company last Friday weighed a

of quartz, none of which showed free
gold.
