There was strike on the Combine
tion No. 2 this week, that gives promise
of great things for the hackers of the
Moore Griffith lease and everyone work
ing along the draw to the west and
northwest of Little Florence hill. if
the strike holds out it will bring both
the Combination No. 2 and No. . into
the producing area, and widen the
zone of active mining very materially.
The strike in question was on the
500-foot level of the Stoneham- Moo-c-
Griffith lease, commonly known as the
Moore lease, ON the south end of Com
bination No. >. The lease lies between
the Gibraltar and Gottwaldt leases, ana
Joins the old Mohawk Florence lease
on the west. This latter lease was
rich producer. The Moore lease is also
only 600 feet from the famous Reilly
lease.
The Moore people took lease on
blocks , and 3 of the Combination No.
2, on the theory that the Reilly vein on
the Combination vein or possibly both,
traversed the ground. Other leases
were taken on the same theory. The
Gottwaldt lease, nearest the Reilly,
went down 800 feet and appeared to DC
near the ore shoot when the lease was
forced to close. The Gibraltar sunk q
the 500-foot level without any ex
| ploratory work, which will now b'
taken up. The Moore lease got riei
stringers ON every level from the l0l
down to and including the 400-fooi
level. Rich stringers came IN In every
Level and it seemed that an ore lens'
might be opened at any time; but onl,
hearthreaking disappointment foilowea
Finally Manager Griffith determined {
drop the shaft to the 5o0-foot poin'
Here he opened up four feet Of ore dui

amined it.

and he now proposes to add another and
make it a string of three. For this pur-
pose he has certainly picked a very
promising spot, directly in line for con-
Meeting with the proven ore channels
of the Jumbo and Florence veins.
Although DIR. Robinson has been alb
sent from the great gold camp for seven
months, work has been going on unin-
terruptedly on this lease, but his re-
turn means that even more vigorous
policy will be pursued henceforth 10
bring in the ore he is confident is there.
The shaft is down 430 feet, and a drift
has been driven 800 feet to the north
and west, cutting three lodges which
showed varying values, but not pay at
the point of intersection. A fine body
of quartz is now being followed, and
the prospect is very promising. The
lease is equipped with 25-horse power
Fairbanks & Morse gasoline hoist, and
seven men arc pushing the development
work.

proposition is on sound financial basis.

"There is a very favorable feeling ia

it is hard to sell stock at the present
time, but from the investor s standpoint
il is not difficult to secure assistance

SO rich that almost any assay value

in this new section may make this the

that the strike is at the 500-foot depth
