Expansion of the producing area OF the uoidneii
district the popular order of the day. and some sur
prises being sprung which revoiutionize t"e
honorcd theories and overthrow predictions of the
skeptcs who would naught hut restricted enrich
ment exemplifed by the Florence, Mohawk and JUMBO
veins.
Bv the discovery of an immense body of high grade
ore which is now being developed on the G. of Con
solidated Mining company, at the dividing line be-
tween the Gold Bar and Victor claims, the active pro-
ducinp zone has been jumped the southeast at least
half mile beyond the Florence, and the unbehevers
are today sitting up in amazement at the richness ana
extent of the find.
This discovery is without doubt of the best and
most important made within the recent history OF the
not alone ON account of its richness but also by
reason of the persstency and great strength which is
being shown by development Of the pay shoot

Five feet of ore, ranging in value from = pay TO
up in the hundreds of dollars has been opened and is

SINK thirty feet deep from the 200foot level. The
vein which stands almost perpendicular IN dyke
about feet wide has characteristics Oh true

Neither side of the drift to have exposed the
full limits of the shoot, and the drift is pushe

on the hanging wall sde where there is very regular
and well defined quartz streak that assays as high rs

The from large sample taken across 10 1nches
of ore indicate would ship at from $40O to 5000

$500 and the ore across the full width of the drift
should not fall far short of 5000 ton without sorting

To certain cxtent, lbe existence Of this ore boiy
has been known to the management of the Gold Bar
company for nearly two years, as II was hrst eneoun

Bar ground for distance Of nearly 400 feet it ranging
from, few inches to several feet in width along its
strike toward the Victor ground, and the Gold Bar
management was confident that development would
prove it to be very important asset. There was no

ground was secured by the Gold Bar people,
This was accomplished some six months ago. while
the Victor ground in which the rich strike mas now
been made was being worked by lessees. This lease
expired January 1st, and Manager L. r. Koontz OF the

of men work developing the ore shoot wlnza WAS
