the Blackbird claim there is a small
tunnel of about 10 feet; several open
cuts; two adit tunnels; two shafts, one
of 10 feet, the other 20 feet. On the
Rex Fraction there is an open cut and
incline shaft, the latter being about Is
feet. On the Slaughter House Macky
group, about $1,000 has been expended
in surface work. Necessary assessment
work on the various claims was dore
in December, 1905. About the midiie
of December some high grade ore run.
ming as high as $l,127, was found near
the surface on the Blackbird. Since
then one man has been kept at work
| claim and Rex Fraction, and some of
the time two men have been at work
on these claims. Since May 10th, one
man has been prospecting and trench
ing on the Slaughter Housed aeky
group. The company's treasury on
May 1st, contained ASSES shares, but
no cash. Most of the money for work
in the past year has been advanced by
the officers. They have agreed to take
stock for same unless the company is
able to realize on treasury stock. As
before stated, the company got a little
high grade ore recently on it's Black
bird claim. This ore was all right as
far as it went, but appears to have
been a pocket, as the company has not
found any more high grade. The last
assay across about lh feet, ran $3.50.
The man in charge of work on the
Blackbird, M. j. Trubey, reduced some
of the high grade ore originally found,
to "a 20-mesh screen and sold 50 dry
pounds of it to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company for $57.77 net, after
paying treatment and sampling charge
of SIS. The ore occurred in nodules,
which on being broken were principal
ly sulphide. The vein on the Black.
bird is about three or four feet wide.

found near the surface and a great deal
of money has come from comparative
