property at Pioche. OF the Mendha
company The latest news IS that the
work on the great bedded fissure
shows an improvement each day. This
work has been sent forward for 200

less than 10000 tons of splendid ore

tinued until the great porphyry dixie is
encountered at point 500 feet beyond
the present workings. This porphyry
dixie Is the mineraliZing agent for the
bedded assures found In the mine and

grows richer In all the metals as the
dixie Is approached This leads the
local officials to believe that the 500
feet still to be driven, will be In ore
all the way. and that the ore Will be
better the closer the dixie Is brought
1t Is from this one bedded flssure that
the early operators extracted for
tune in the early d,ys. and even then
only small portion Of the minerallzed
territory was touched.
