After High Grade
Leascrs yesterday commenced tack
ling the high grade of the Spokane
claim of the Southern Nevada company,
situate about one mile north of town.
The only surprise is that this has not
before been done. This particular
ground during all it's development-it
being well opened up to water level
has been prolific of sensations in the
way of specimen rock. Such a layou-,
in fact, as only skilled and painstaking
~leasers could handle to the greatest adj
vantage.
The practical man that heads this eG-
~terprise is Jack Gilman and with him
are associated w. f. Record and j.. w.
Doran. The minimum grade of orc that
is desired is around $50. A careful
sampling has shown this quality and
from that up into the hundreds to be
available on several levels, but the ex-
tent of it only will be determined by
work. Those who know the property
hest are confident that the deal will be
highly profitable to both sides in the
transaction.
The Southern Nevada company, else
where on the same group, is well
started on the largest development pro-
gram in it's history-this under the able
direction of Engineer Lloyd. The work
now under way consists of timberine
nnd Strengthening the Princess shaft
lying next north of the Spokane. Th.'
is now below 100 feet in depth and vii
be equipped with machinery for deei
going and a central point Of operation
for the whole property.
