The two rich strikes reported in the

Star over a week ago are permanent | in character. One of these was on a
 vein running parallel with the old
 Tigre vein about 500 feet distant The
 other is in the Sooy vein where tun-
 nel No. 7 crosscut it. This tunnel is
 being driven beneath all the other workings of the mine and when com
 pleted will be 25OO feet long and of
 size adt quate for electric haulage. The Arlz6ns Gold Mines Company,
 is running it's mill on ore from the Bi-
 Metal mine and getting good results,
 It is probable that this property will
 be taken over by the J ohm Hays Ham
 lnond interest within the next few
 m"nGhs when larger operations will be
 ordered. The mine is capable of fur
 nishIng a thousand ton plant with ore
 for long time to come and the open =
 ing of the ground at the depth of the present level will disclose many mil liones of tons of good ore.
