mININeIaEws AND NOTES
Doran & Gallagher.

Gallagher property is stin in good ore, the face having now about , inches of shipping ore and IS inches of concentrating ore. at vertical depth of about 65 feet.
 The west drift, though for the mo ment in barren ground, will doubt less catch up with the ore vein soon by changing direction.
 The 12O-foot shaft is in minerallzed porphyry all the way, improving a little with depth. According to ar estimate. for 80 feet this mineralized rock will average l per cent copper. In the bottom of the shaft high grade ore is beginning to come in. there be ing now a streak of it or 3 inches in width.
 Careful computation made recently tends 70 show that there are 1,020 tons of concentrating and shipping ore on the various dumps; the larger portion of it belonging to the concen- tratng class.
 Ore occurs in Assure veins.
 Bernoudy.
 On this (the company property. the assessment work for 1909 has just been commenced, and if the efforts now being put forth to sell stock prove successful development work will be inaugurated after the com. pletion of the annual work.
 A new tunnel has been started, be low the blacksmith shop, for the pur- pose of penetrating at good depth that portion of the hill vertically un- der the place where rich silver-gold ore valued at above S1 a pound was discovered two years ago. and the distance the tunnel would have to be driven to reach such a point IS ap- proximately 150 feet. The depth gain ed in the tunnel at 15O feet would be perhaps 100 feet.
 While there were taken down but few hundred pounds of this rich ore sufficient work has been done to demonstrate a large quantity of con centrating ore which could be mined at a profit If there were a concentra- tor near by. There are already sev. eral hundred tons of ore on the dump. and the extensive tunnel work, although done close to the surface was in ore nearly all of the time Hence the securing of depth here is just what is needed, and there is nc doubt but that excellent results will be attained when the tunnel shall have been continued sufficiently.
 Two men are at work.
 The returns from the rich strike were as follows: Gold, $400; silver 2.SO0 oz.; lead. BOT oz.; copper, one half of one per cent. This was an E Paso assay. Figures received iron the c. and A. were more than twice as high in gold-43 1-2 oz., but little less in s:lver-2,6 ,6SS OF. A third as say yielded two ounces in gold, 13S ounces in silver. and 60 per cent lead
 There are none familiar with the BerDoudy property who do not speal highly of it, and on an adjoining prop erty on the other (the east) side O this hill there is a wonderfully bis showing that still farther enhances the value of the Bernoury It is or group owned by Bernoudy ana Wright.
 Hilltop.
 Hands brothers are hauling ore of the Hilltop for shipment.
 The Hilltop ore belongs to the lead silver class. Through a careful hand jig test, made some time ago, the fol lowing results were obtained out O four tons of ore: Concentrates, on and one-half tons; of this the frs three classes averaged IF ounces fl silver and 61 per cent lead. The tail ings then yielded from 1 ounce to ounces in silver and from 10 to l per cent ahead.
