oshers.-The Queen Regent Copper com
pany's ground was the first that was
located in Rawhide territory ana th'
first to begin work. 1t was located IN
Nav. 1907. before Rawhide was heard
of. The company has performed the
following work: Tunnel No. cut
what appears to be three lodges coming
tooether forming an ore body 20 feet
in width of fair grade milling ore. a
shaft will be sunk Immediately to cut
the ledge at depth and to cut at rlght
angles three other lodges that ou'eroP
within three hundred feet of the pro
nosed shaft. Tunnel No. = has cut a
lodae seventeen feet wide with well
defined walls, which has the appearance
of permanently; no pay streak has yet
been opened in this ledge. Tunnel NO.
2 in about 200 feet is being driven
easterly and in the next four hundred
feet will cut at depth four lodges that
appear on the surface that are running
in a north and south direction. very
rich samples have been taken from
these hedges at the surface. Tunnel No.
4 crosscuts the formation at right
angles and has reached a depth of over
100 feet and in the next $50 feet will
cnt at right angles four lodges that
show on the surface and possibly five
as the lodges pitch toward the tunnel
that is being driven. This is on the
Scott and Fuller lease where both mill
ing and shipping ore has been devel-
oped. The last two mentioned tunnels
will cut the numerous Lodges that show
on Copper King No. l claim, there be-
ing eight north and south lodges on this
claim. with several cross lodges AMI
stringers, all being of good quartz, get
ting good values, wherever opened up.
Picked samples showing free gold have
showed ASSAY values of several thou
sand dollars. North of these tunnels
about three-quarters of Il mile, the
company has a permanent working
shaft down 100 feet, which is just now
entering the hanging wall of an enos-
nous contact ledge that is from 100 to
200 feet wide. Seven hundred feet
further north the company has started
shaft No. . on the same big ledge. Cop
per showings are exceptionally good at
this point. A great deal of further
work has been done in the way OF open
cuts, shallow shafts, etc. The com
pany's engineer reports that on the big
copper contact ledge there will I'M
doubtedly be opened up an enormous
body of copper ore. The company has
bought another hoist, 20 b. p. FAIR
banks, with which to sinl on the big
copper deposit where the ledge appears
to be about $50 feet wide and is pitch
ing at an angle that will permit of the
shaft being driven in ledge matter for
la distance approximated at 800 feet.
The stockholders have recently pro-
vided funds to the amount of $4,000
to start this work with two shifts Of
men during February. The stock sales
are not large. There are only about
6 5000 shares of treasury stock issued
out of the total treasury fund OF l,OO0,-
600. The company owns outright seven
teen claims, no bonded Indebtedness or
preferred stock, the property having
been paid for in cash. Location of prop
erty is about 81 miles south and west
of Rawhide townsite and lies just south
of Basalt peak. A range of mountains
is between the property and Rawhide
which makes the property somewhat in
accessible from that direction.

Toplitz is in New York presumably
raising money for his Daisy lease. In
the meantime little or nothing has been
done at the lease, although it is being
kept alive. Some very rich ore was ex-
tractcd "a while back, but depth was
needed and. funds were not in hanl.

is working it's property at Luning
The property is being developed by 4
tunnel to get depth on it's ledge which
crops at the surface. They are now
within about 80 feet of the ledge.
Crosscuts and wines are being run
from the tunnel, and some good ore ex-
posed. We will shortly publish an
article on Luning properties, and posi-
bly, may get to it in this issue. The
management is well thought of in this
community.
G. A. e., Philadelphia.-The work has
been done for 1905 on the Goldfell
Double Eagle. (2) No work being lone
on any of the Nevada Goldfeld leases.
(3) Cannot say what may be expected
on the Continuation Extension. A lease
Is working the ground right along and
surveys would seem to indicate that
one or more lodges coming from Flor
ence hill or through Combination ground
ought to be opened up. Mackenzie is
spending a large amount of money on
the ground, which is proof of his belief
in it.
