four ears a week , at least enc a day.
Mr.. Mccormack sited the lease Wei
nesday, and was than gratifed
with the improvement during thew
that had elapsed nee his last previous
visit. He feels cofdent that this lease
will soon be a clos rival to the famous
Hubbard.
Ingalls, Brdigan Lease.
Adjoining the icCornfack lease on
the east, the Brdigan lease is being
actively DEVELOPS The shaft is down
200 feet, and a rift is being driven
west at 125 feet epth to connect with
the east drift on the $50 level of the
Mccormack lease for ventilation as
well as for development of ore. The
vein has been harl and tight along the
rift up to the resent time, but the
last few feet seems to be bringing a
change for the better, and the McCor.
mack ore shoot nay be met at almost
any time. The vein is apparently
opening and getting in good shape for
making ore. On this same level a
crosseut is being driven to the north to
prospect the country, and two well de-
fined s~tringers, showing small spots of
ore, have been developed.
A station is being cut at the 200 level
and a drift will be driven into the hill
with the expectation of getting the
Mccormack ore shoot at this level.
The vein looks very good at this point,
although there is no ore in sight. There
vas a fine showing of ore on the sur
face where the shaft was started, but
this soon pitched out of the shaft and
has not yet been picked up again.
Spencer Lease.
Directly above the Mccormack lease
the Spencer lease is now getting
a small amount of ore, with good pros
poets of opening something exception
lily good. The shaft is about 800 feet,
md drifts are being driven east AMI
west at the 800 level.
Mitchell Fairfield Operations.
West of Spencer and covering all of
the ground up to the Hubbard lease
are the Mitchell Fairfield and Collins
eases, which are being operated under
he direct supervision of John L.
Mitchell. These leases have an equip
that is probably the most exten
i've ever installed by leasers any place
n Nevada, and development is being
at top speed. There is a 25-h. p.
loist in operation on each block, aud d
l00-h. p. compressor has been installed
Tor running air drills and for ventilat-
ng purposes. The Mitchell Fairfield
Or Lucky Boy Exploration company
is down about 800 feet, where a
is being driven north to cut
ome parallel streaks in that direction.
3unches of ore have been encountered
n the shaft al various times, but M
sguiar p~t snoss eas - oeen ncoun
cred.
The Collins shaft has been sunk TO
bout the 400 level of the Hubbard
ease, which it adjoins, and extensive
development will soon be under
The ore in the Hubbard leasa
vas developed to within 30 feet of the
Jollins sideline, and unless some un-
Usual geological freak has occurred,
he Collins lease should develop some
,reat ore. These leases are working
bout 40 men.
T ~auy Lease.
The Tiffany shaft is down 145 feet,
nd three shifts of men are pushing
he development. This is one Of the
'ery promising leases of the district,
'perated by Schaffnit, O'Keefe and
'thers of Goldfeld, and numerous
Of high-grade ore have been
ound in the shaft, indicating that de
'elopment should open pay values at
ONE time in the near future.
The Silver Moon lease on the Noun
ain Queen, adjoining the Hubbard on
he west, is still driving the crosseut
4 which a nice stringer of ore was Ell
last week. Capt. r. v. Lee
who has been at his home in
'asadena for some time, is expected in
amp within a few days to make an
lspection of his various properties,
nd at that time he may make some
changes on the Silver Moou.
ir. LeGrande is now concentrating a
cal with Los Angeles people whereby
e will transfer a half interest in all
is holdings in the district for a sum
aid to be close to 100000.
