The superintendent, is now on the
ground getting things ready for active
development.
The shaft on this ground is down 30
feet and has encountered water. Pump
ing machinery will be installed and the
shaft unwatered, when sinking will be
resumed. Good gold values have been
had from the shaft from the very first,
and as sinking progressed the ore in
creased in value.
No prosecuting or drifting to amount
to anything has been done, developing
work being mostly confined to shaft
work. The rock is free milling and
averages in the neighborhood OF $50
per ton. Fifteen miners are now at
and more will be added as needed.
From Mr.. w. T. Campbell, one of the

The resumption of work in this mine
will be a red letter day for Buckskin,

NEW SHIPPERA AT BROKEN HILLS

A shipment from the Broken Hills
mine at Helena aggregating ~ tons
reached Millers on Tuesday and the
teams are again loading at the mine.
The assay value Of the shipment has
not been determined, but it contains
some lower grade ore and the manage
ment does not expect it will run over
$500 a ton.
During the week a strike which APP
pears to be of some Importance was
made on the Whitmore lease ON block
4. Several hundred sacks of the ere
have been put up and more is being
broken down daily. The first shipment
from this lease will 60 out in the

to continue them at regular intervals.

A chunk of ore, weighing about five
pounds, was brought in from the Es-
peranza group Monday, by Jim Malt
man, says the Blair Press. 1t was some
thing good to look upon. A spot the
size of a dollar was the real silver dope,
and could be cut like a piece of cheese.
Then there was a sulphide and bromide,
all of which would cause N to look
upon it with establishment to think
there was such rich stuff in the eoun-
try. The specimen came out of a ledge
about two feet in width, the high grade
streak being from four to six inches in
thickness. The find was made Sunday
afternoon, in the last round of holes.
Upon finding it the next morning, Malt
man became so excited over it that he
dropped his pick and, gathering up this
piece, hit the trail for town, twelve
miles away. 1t was shown to a number
in Blair this afternoon, and all pro-
nounced it the richest specimen of sill
yer ore seen here. Mailman boxed the
sample and sent it to his son in San
Francisco Tuesday morning.
A deal was made Tuesday, whereby
Frank Cole, of Goldfeld, secured a bond
and lease ON the one-third intercs. in
the property, heretofore owned by Jack
Jacobs, and active operations will be
begun on the ground in a few days.

RICH FIND AT RAMSEY.

A remarkable rich strike has been
made on the San Juan property at Ram
sey, and the claim is now being devel-
oped on a large scale. Ore taken from
a ledge seven feet wide was assayed in
Reno and went all the way from @400 to
5000 per ton in gold, besides carrying
good values in silver. The news Of this
strike has created considerable interest
in regard to Ramsey and there will soon
be renewed energy in that camp. At
the present time there are several prop
critics being worked in the camp and it
IL believed that this summer there will
be many men employed there and large
shipments made.

will be built on the property,
as this new development work, coupled

width and showing good pannlngs
across it, while six inches ON the foot
wall was high grade. On continuing
the crosscut a few feet further in, =
second vein one foot in width was cnt,
and this shows the best ore yet en-

was reached, which is four feet IN
width, and is also Of a good grade Of

veins win be in Goldheld within a few
