RAWHIDE LEASERS STILL
GETTING HIGH GRADE ORE
(From the Press imes)


which the rich stuff is being taken is
about eight feet from the shaft.
The Dayton-Toledo lease, on the
Rawhide Coalition estate, expects to
mill about 100 tons of ore which they
have broken down on the 5O-foot level
as soon as the mills are able to work
it. 1t is thought that the average value
will crowd $40 per ton.
The Queen company is actively at
work on the former Kearns 2 lease
and is taking out some splendid ore.
A carload which has beer broken
down is valued at $4,000, averaging
over 800 per ton. The permanent
character of the ore body on the 100
foot level is cause for satisfaction to
the management and the fact that the
values are keeping up a high average
is also gratifying.
Ten Inches of High Grade.
The Proskey No. l continues to
show up the same high grade values
as reported from time to time in the
Press-Times. In an interview with
Superintendent Nat Proskey, he states
that they have ten inches of ore on
the 100-foot level that shows an aver
age assay of s., 100 per ton. The vein
is from three to four feet in width.
Outside of the high grade streak the
vein will go from $40 to $50 per ton.
Drifting is being prosecuted on this
vein on the 100-foot level and it is
now in about 20 feet each way-north
and south. The general condition
with relation to the extent and values
of the ore appear to be improving
a, these workings are pushed.
Sacking high grade is now under
way and a good sized allotment is
being prepared of this rich picture
stuff for shipment to the sampler at
Hazen.
Forty tons of ore taken from the
break of the vein, aside from the high
grade streak were taken down to the
Knight onlon mill last week, but up
to date Mr.. Proskey states he has not
received the returns, though he ex-
poets them at any time.
Big Ore on Murray.
General Manager Watson of the
Murray states to the Press-Times that
the company now has two shifts of
men employed in breaking nothing but
ore in the big cut back of the old shaft.
They have a 20-foot face exposing IL
feet of ore of good milling grade. This
it is expected will be ready to begin
running through the mill today.
They are also opening up a cross
vein about 200 feet northerly from the
vein mentioned above, which shows
about -four feet of good milling ore.
The management feels that upon
drifting upon the main vein they will
encounter an immense body of ore at
the junction of these two veins.
ne HI 10 luiluihS PtiiNNty
have Just finished a run from the
Gold Pen and Lucky Strike properties
at Bovard for DIR. Garner and associates
and will start on the ores of their
own property today.
Work is being prosecuted on the
Rawhide Aspen lease on the Rawhide
claim. They are now saeking some
very high grade ore from a Wine
about $50 feet east of the shaft.
They expect to have a sufficient
quantity within a few days for ship
ment to the Hazen sampler.
Crosscutting is also under way OH
the 2OO-foot level of the shaft to open
up at that depth the ore body they
are taking out from the surface. They
have extended the crosscut 100 feet
and expect that within is or 20 feet
they will catch the vein on the dip.
