have 10 inches of this character of ore

the footwall and Strengthened up.
When the 400 is reached, crosscuts will
be run for the ore bodies.
The management informs the Press.
Times that as soon as the crosscuts
are run ON this level the shaft sink
ing will be continued until the so
and 600 stetions are reached. Lateral
work will be done on all levels.
The Rawhide Golden Eagle is the
name Of a new corporation, the aim
of which will be to further develop
the mineral resources of Grurt Hill.
The block Of ground secured by the
new company, adjoins the Grutt Min
ing, Proskey No. 2 and Dayton Toledo
leases, and is located in a highly
strategic section from the points of
naturalization. All its neighbors nave
shown up rich bodies of ore, and some
of those leads are known to pass
through -he new company's holdings.
There is a shaft ON the property
which has already a depth of go feet.
The intention Of the company is to
begin sinking Immediately, and with
that end in view the management says
it will have a hoist on the ground
within the next thirty days.
Has New Hoist.
The Stockton company on the Black
Eagle group, has purchased and erect
ed an lS-h. p. hoist and will Immediately
begin sinking. The shaft is down ll5
feet and will be considerably deepened.
There is opened up on the property, a
big body Of milling ore, over three feet
in width, and holding an average as
say value of $1S per ton. High grade
punches appear in the body frequently,
with assays up in the figures, some go
ing as high as s1f,e90- these, ~ofspourse,
coming from picked samples.

l.. A. Beckstead returned yesterday
morning to the new camp OF hed
Hills, about 20 miles south of Raw
hide, between here and Lodi. Mr..
Beckstead says there are a dozen
prospectors and also one woman here.
A number of good prospects have been
opened up, and assays as high as ~
have been obtained.
The ore is principally of free gold,
though in some places lead is also IN
evidence. What looks good to the pros
hector is the fact that the Red Hills
district is all lodges. In some cases
the leads can be traced for two miles
or more. and it is on one of these lodges
that several Of the most promising
PROSPECTS are located. On one OF Mr..
Beckstead's claims, the ledge IS SIX
feet wide and they are down only a
few feet.
