FOR RECORD MAKING YEAR

sixth levels of the Fraction. At noon,
when the Bulletin representative called
at the manager s Office and residence,
both Messrs. Caseley and Brown were
in the midst Of sorting and arranging
the result of the days sampling. 1t
would be hard to imagine more bcauti-
full specimen pieces of free gold than
were shown. Some of the free was de-
cidedly of coarse size, being in large
blotches, or, again, pellet shape.
Banker Makes Strike
A fine strike was lately made at the
New Era, six miles east of camp. The
credit is given to E. +. Woodbury. Of
Pasadena, who has for several weeks
past spent much time at the property.
Mr.. Woodbury. does not cain to b.
other thar a tcnderfoot in mining. n
this instance he used his head and also
a pick and shovel however, the WELD
ing of these implements might be ques-
toned, owing to his larger experience
in banking.
lie noted the trend of the near sur
face orc from which lcasers DeBerry
and Megedc during the past summer
had made a stake. At a point 50
feet distant he started a hole where
some eolors appeared at the surface.
Now, at a depth of but ten feet the
showings are high clear across the bot
tom. The "frec' is frequently founi
and all of the paintings are estimated
in pound values.
Much confidence is expressed that 4
bonanza shoot has been encountered
and the coming week will witness a
rapid opening upo ( the new diggings.
Mine Will Resume
The fine Eureka Searchlight group,
some three miles northeast of the Phi.a-
| dclphia, will soon join the list of ac-
tivcs. Vice President o. T. Hover on
Tuesday returned from Los Angeles,
where he was in conference with other
members of the company who are con
nected with the sherif's Office in that
city. 1t was decided to start perma-
nent work the coming week.
This property has ono of the most ex-
~tensive surface showings in this dis
trict. In fact, the owners state that
they greatly minimize its extent when
the width of the cropping SHOWING
values throughout-is placed at so fees.
Big samples, being as large as one man
could well handle, have been shown In
town that are handsomely iron and cop
per stained and which plainly bear out
| The predominance of copper values 1T
the surface. Assays as to the latter
metal have run up to rs per cent. Also,
there are gold and silver values. As.
says recently run show about So in
gold from the least attractive portions
i Of the surface cropping, while the pre-
ferred has exceeded 800. Altogether,
the property is one that at the outset
has most lattering prospects and bics
fair to be carly reckoned with the
larger propositions.
Has Fine Plant
With the big new engine house OF
the New York Searchlight barely en-
closed, Manager Hurt has set the hoist
ing engine going TO skip out the water
from the Waterspout shaft and make
sundry improvements incident to re-
sumption of sinking. The building
which encloses the superb new plant is
25 by As feet on the ground, with II
foot walls and a maximum rise of 22
feet to the dome.
Two weeks time at the outside is
now given as the limit of time for all
the machinery to be in place and run
ming. This includes the electric ligh.-
ing plant for both above and below
ground, the air compressors for drilling
and every possible convenience looking
to what is confidently expected to be a
