FIDe Million Pound Output

CONTINUED from page one.)
= soon be ready for business. The in
dications continue that this steam
shovel body will rival Copper Flat in
extent while producing a richer ore.
On the Ruth property of the COM
pany the drills are continuing the de-
velopment which during the season
has added millions of ions of ore to
the reserve-sO many millions in
fact that the 1000 ton a day hoisting
capacity of the Star Pointer shaft at
one time considered all sufficient for
any likely call that the mine could
make, has been made to appear puny
and brought realization that when
the day does come when the output
of this mine will be needed in pro-
potion to it's resources, there will
have to be several Star Pointer shafts
to handle the business.
DRILLS TO BUNKER HILL.
Giroux Con-, during the week took
four of its six drill from Butte Ely
Bunker Hill to explore that property
further and block out its ore body
beyond the limits reached by the
underground workings. The drills
have been working ON the Butte Ely
about two months and their removal
is taken to mean that operations
have been carried to satisfactory ex-
ground. Two drills left there to
ground. The drills are left there to
conclude the exploitation. On Cir
oux proper the greatest energy is
concentrated on bringing up the new
shaft. This is being splendidly tim
bered and an excellent job done in
all ways. For the shaft 100000 feet
Of timber were ordered, the larger
part Of which has been delivered.
Construction of the new standard
guage railroad from the connection
with the main line of the Nevada
Northern at Veteran cut has been
commenced and will be pushed rapid
ly. This road will enable much more
economic delivery of supplies to the
Alpha and Giroux shafts, and to all
parts of the property. The new line
crosses the survey of the Ely-Gold-
field road, which runs between the
Alpha and the new Giroux shafts.
ELY CENTRAL.
AS told elsewhere, the Ely Central
is making splendid progress with its
shaft sinking and has materially
changed the appearance of things on
the Eureka claim, where on all sides
there is the unquestionable look Of
hustle and vigorous, intelligent min
ing activity.
COPPERMINEs.
The drill is being continued stead
lily at exploration near the Ruth line
on this property. Reports are that
the findings are very good. 1t would
seem dificuit to understand how
they might be otherwise in view of
the great results being attained with
the drills Of Ruth. However, the
Coppermines interests are exceeding
ly conservative and there is little
given out by these people until they
are sbundantly sure of their ground.
They do not even individually engage
in speculations as to what results
may be. 1t is a belief that will not
rub out in the district and It Is con
fdently felt that 1t is but a question
of time until 1T is brought in as a
big producer.
BOSTON ELY.
There has been an absolute
tightening of sources of information
concerning Boston Ely during the
last several weeks, dating from the
time Of commencement of rumOrs
that the control of this property was
being sought by Giroux interests.
The fact has o~ccasioned no loose
ing of the large confidence felt local
" in the ground, which as well as
the management, is entitled to make
a mine and which everybody here
believes will. The dump indicates
ore in the shaft, but beyond this
there is nothing known officially.
AMONG THE LEASERS.
Elsewhere the success attending
leasing operations in the district is
told of. These leases are old lead
silver properties, mostly included at
the present time in copper company
holdings. There those who be-
lieve that. some of these leases will
make permanent producers of high
" profitable ore, but the majority

per properties. In either event the
leasers are doing a good work and
it is gratifying to know thatathey are
receiving reward
HIDDEN TREASURE.
This is among the copper proper
ties which has lead-silver leases in
operation. Recently there was re-
port that a strong interest had
given the copper possibilities serious
consideration and that there would
shortly be developments along this
line. 1t is understood that the pros
poets in this respect at this time are
more favorable than ever and that
the negotiations may be concluded at
any time with result of bringing a
new interest of very great strength
into the camp. Hidden Treasure is
considered to have the best surface
showings of copper in the camp and
has for a long time been looked on
as a very desirable DrOperty.
