Main Property Working in Body of Ore
38 Feet Wide With no Hanging
Wall in Sight---Hoists Being In
stalled on Numerous Leases.

fourteen months ago. Al IHdI time
it was working on low grade ore. In
December last, when the high grade
was encountered, the camp was un-
known. From force of two men it
has increased to fifty, and before long
this will be doubled. The ledge on
the 210-foot level has been proven to
be thirty-six feet wide with no hang
ing wall in sight. w. H. Nader, SUI
perintendent of the leasing company,
stated yesterday morning that this
entire body of ore would average
about $125 to the ton. Five men are
working abreast on the ledge and
every pound of rock broken down is
shipped. The shipments have been
averaging car for every two days.
The raise sent up from the 210-foot
level has connected with the winze
sunk from the 150-foot level and
drifting has been started to deter
shoot. 1t is the prevailing opinion
that the richest portion of the ledge
has not been reached and will be
found OVERLAPPING the hanging wall.
The new hoist has arrived and is be-
ing put in place as fast as possible.
The foundation for the air compress
sor is finished and the compressor
will be in operation in about two
weeks. The shaft is being retimber-
ed from the surface to the 100-foot
level in order to facilitate the hoist
Iing.
When these improvements are
completed machine drills will be used
and the extraction of ore increased to
between 100 and $50 tons a day. This
will give employment to a large force
OF men, not only in the mine but in
the hauling of the ore. The officials
J estimate that ten men and forty head
of horses will be engaged in the
transfer end of the work.
On the McGarry- Stroke lease on
the X. X. property the tunnel is in
seventy-five feet. The last ten feet
= has been in manganese, which when
, panned shows plenty of colors. This
) portion is all ledge matter and the
, operators expect to catch the ore
shoot within the next thirty feet. This
lease sidelines the Rickard-Garberg
which in turn adjoins the famous
Pioneer lease, and is considered one
; of the best in the district. Machine
5 drills will be installed when the all
