pears on the 800 and 400-foot levels.
The body was reached Wednesday of
this week. and resembles in character
and value the previous ~uncoverings
upon the same formation. This ore
when opened up on the 300-foot level
proved up very substantially on devel-
opment. Some weeks ago the same
thing was reached on the 400-foot level,
where a high milling grade was estab-
lished for twenty-three feet in width.
The late find on the 500-foot drift gives
promise of big things. As stated, so
far as the lode has been penetrated,
values are similar is, around S.
and $40. At this time it is impossible
to state how much of this ore is in
place, because only one wall is in sight.
The character is white quartz, carry
ing fine gold uniformly throughout.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 worth
of bullion was sent out from Rhyoli.e
this week by the Homestake. This
amount is the saving from 1880 tons of
ore milled during the month of Deem
Der. 1t is estimated that all ore run
during the month will average SIS to the
ton, with a 80 per cent saving. This
brings the 1908 output up to $4,000.
Some changes are being made at the
.,.I h. S,Dota,Iop Tx-Ior The
pacity of the sand tank is being raised
and steps are being taken to save time
on some of the low grade ore.
The Homestake now has a quantity
of So. ore, which is absolutely free
milling.
A mill for the Bullfrog West Exten-
sion company is practically assured for
the near future. G.. s. johnson, of
Goldfeld, the secretary and treasurer
of the company, was down at the prop
erty this week, accompanied by Len p.
McGarry, the locator of the ground.
The purpose of the visit, it is believed,
was to get final data for the mill pro-
ject.
Leasing on Tramps
The leasing system on the Denver
claim of the Tramp company is proving
a decided success in developing that
well-known territory. Scarcely a block
of ground has been given out that is
not showing up with at least some high
grade ore.
The Kuliachi block, worked by James
Kuliachi and Paul Vucovich, is still the
leader in mineral showing. The high
grade seam reported last week has will
ened out considerably with develop
ment, and although it's grade is not SO
high Is previously, still it is a good
shipping quality. There are about two
feet of the ledge in the breast of the
raise. This material is being sacked
from the wall. 1t is well streaked with
free gold. Several other ~lessees have
good s~howings.

his holdings on Quartzite mountain,
half a mile to the east of the Pioneer.
In assessment work, just completed on
the property, a, six-foot ledge has been
uncovered hat pans well for the en-
tire width. Competent parties say that
the ore exposed will ship.
Davis himself has returned to the
ground, and there is little doubt that
he will arrange to open. it up at once.
The cyanide appliances for the May
flower arrived, according to expecta-
ton, this week. They were taken up
to the property at once and are now
being worked into the reduction plant.
All of the available men are being en-
ployed in pushing the work of construc-
tion. At the present time it looks like
the 1st of March will see the stamps
dropping on Mayfower ore.
