brought to the front this year On the
500 foot level OF the Golden Prince
property the drift was pushed through
streak of porphyry and bedded
vein of ore was found to make on
the other side. The drift went through
this fine ore body for 125 feet and the
mine Is now on the road to become one
of the big properties on that side of
the camp. The Gold and Silver Prince
has done considerable work during the
year Both properties are excellently
equipped.
The Phoebe King, controlled by John

new properties of the district. 1t has
rapidly forged to the front during the

since acquired 10 per cent of the stock
of its neighbor, the Pioche Nevada
Consolidated Mining company, which
Is the owner OF Is claims. Although
the property was one of those picked
out in the early days as indicative
of containing good ore and from which
several carloads were shipped, 1t was
not until the present company acquired
