FoUR FEET OF PAY ORE
SHOWS IN KNICKERBoCKER

With four feet of good ore showing
in the face of a Wine now being sunk
from the drift in which the ore was en-
eountered some time g in the Knick-
crbocker lease on the Blue Bull, there
II stronger evidence than ever that
lease will be a very important shipper
when the ground is properly opened for
production.
AS told by The News some three
weeks ago, it is apparent that the
drift caught the ore shoot near its apex,
and greater depth must be secured be-
fore any large production can be made.
The vein was cut by a tunnel at "a depth
&c about 65 feet; then a winze was put
down 30 feet, and the ore picked up by
5 drift started at the bottom of the
Wine. The policy of the management
is to follow the ore at the present time,
until it is pretty well proven up, and
for this purpose an incline Wine is be-
ing sent down from the drift in which
the ore was found.
A. 50-foot shaft from surface inter
ecpts the tunnel about 80 feet from tn.
main Wine, and as soon as the ore
shoot is prospected more fully, a hoist
viii be placed on this shaft and the
hole sent down to a depth of at least
eco feet, from which point a level will
be driven for getting at the ore in
good mining fashion, and open stopping
ground.
Tie ledge matter outside of the ore
body in the new winzc gives indications
Of changing into ore, and Developments
during the next week are likely to make
& very decided Improvement over the
present splendid showing. The harl
dyke rock is becoming impregnated
with seams and punches of tale, which
seams denote a coming change into
values. Three men are handling the
development at the present time.

LEASE ON COMMONWEALTH
GETTING DEPTH ON VEIN

A good body of quartz is being de-
veloped on the l00-foot level of the
Commonwealth Mining and Leasing
company's workings on the Common
wealth. and a crosscut has been started
from the 800 level to run back into the
hill to tap a ledge from which consid-
cradle ore has been shipped, being en-
countered by a shallow tunnel. -Four
men are engaged on the development
work now under way. The prospect on
the 100 level is quite promising, and a
body of ore is expected by the manage
ment within a short time.
Some surface prospecting is being
done by the management of the Com
monwealth estate, with two men,, and
what promises to be an important fint
has been made in an open cut near the
crest of one of the ridges southeast OF
the leasing ~company's shaft. A big
streak of oxidized quartz carrying pay
has been found, and a consider
able quantity is being saved for ship
ment during the course of prospecting.
The ledge is badly jumbled, and the
source of the enrichment has not been
fully determined.

BLACK BUTTE is HUNTING
FOR A DEFINED ORE BODY

Systematic development is being
pushed along on the Black Butte prop
erty at Diamondfeld, with a force of
nine men, but nothing of a sensational
nature has been opened that figures IN
the present operations. Crosscuttlng IS
in progress on the 800 level in an effort
to find a permanent or defne ore
shoot, but the ground is badly broken
and irregular punches of ore are the
best that have peer struck lately.
The management is making a deter
mined effort to put the property back
into a paying basis and restore 1t TO
its one-time digniied position in the
list of shippers. The work is being
S, Systematically and economically done.
and if it fails to bring the desired re-
suits, it will not be because an intelli-
gent and conscientious effort has not
been made to do so. At the present
time it is a question of following in
elections and depending upon fortune
to bring in the pay ore.
Three sets of ~lessees, comprising
about a dozen men, are working on thS
"lat', vein on the Black Butte prop
erty, and getting out a little ore that
carries good values. Some of the pan
nings indicate close to 500 per ton.
