waste dirt before taking II to the
mill.
Several cars of zinc ore are in
the bins at the Eastman Invest
meut Co.'S. mill on the Abrams
land. This property has proven
to contain an extraordinary rich
run of ore to the west of the pres
ent development, indicating the
making of a large reserve under
and through the Abrams hill to
to the west.
The Common-Law Mining Co.
has started up its mill, and is
making good Roadway, with the
new development underground,
and expect to be able to run
steadily in 4 short time. The
new ground now being penetrated
is showing a much richer ore,
than that previously milled.
A new shallow diggings has
been started, just to the north of
the Alabama, where free lead is
being taken out in large blocks,
at avery shallow depth. This is
something new for this camp to
have shallow mines, as all those,
opened SO far, have been at a
considerable depth.
Miami camp is keeping up its
record for production, and with
the new mills coming into COM
mission the next few months will
show a decided increase. The
lead that is being produced is be-
ing stored to some extent, and of
course will help to swell the gross
output for the year, in proportion
to the weekly sales now being re-
ported.
1t is expected that the Big Jack
mill will make its first turn-in
during the month of March. The
mill is just about ready to turn
over and will be put into COM
mission in a short time. With
the amount of development, that
has been done on this lease,
enough of dirt should be gotten
out of the ground to keep the
mill going steadily, from the
start.
Extensive development at the
Good Luck is proving this mine
to be one of the Bananas" of
the camp. With a small mill,
this mine is producing forty to
fifty tons of zinc concentrates
per week. The Sunburst, adj
joining it to the northeast, gives
promise of having the same run
of ore which the Good Luck is
doing so well on, and as soon as
the development demonstrates
this fact a mill will be installed.
J. M. Rice has installed a new
forty horsepower, boiler, and
sinking outfit, at shaft No. 2, on
the Dark Horse lease, and is ex-
pected to be into the ground this
week. This shaft is on the big
run of rich zinc which extends
across the Eastman, Sunnyside
and Dark Horse leases. Mr..
Rice has traced this run of ore
by drilling for more than a half
a mile across the above leases,
and shows his faith in his drill
ings, by going after it through
the shaft, which he has just
rugged up.

| A number of important mining
deals are pending at the present
time, probably more than at any
time since the camp started up.
This looks good, as a forerunner
of a most active year.
John Merritt is starting the
Old Abe property this week and
with the amount of development
done, and the amount of ore in
sight, this property should show
a big production this year.
Going to the southwest, in the
main drift of the Luther Mining
Co., the tread of ore was encoun-
tered which leads the prospectors
to feel, that this is the same run
of ore, which the Lancaster has
been mining on, with such good
results.
A new company has taken a
lease to the southwest of the
Lancaster, on the Iowa and Okla
homa's land, where the drilling
showed some very rich zinc ore,
which no doubt, is the extension
of the ore run which the Luther
has lust struck,
A new record, for sheet lead
production, was made at the Jo-
anna mine, the past week, where
large sheets of the pure Galena
were hoisted. Caulkins and Com
pany is working this mine, and
is getting in shape to make a
steady production.
LATE Griffith is making a good
showing at the Omaha, since he
has put the Hobo shaft into COM
mission. This let's the ore be
hoisted from the north ground of
the Omaha lease with very little
work, as the Hobo has cut up to
the Omaha line on the east.
At the Newland property the
water is being pumped out, pre-
paratory to the starting up the
mill on the lease. This mine
has a most attractive ore body,
as it is made up of free ore, in a
sewage or conglomerate mass,
which is easily mined and milled.

into his eyes, and a sob broke in his
throat.

himself into a. chair to eagerly read
and reread the contents Of the letter.
Suddenly he sprang to his feet and
dashed across the room to the tele-

"She will die of joy!' he half sobbed
IN the transports of exhilaration. Five
minutes later he was on his way to her
