LIVER thing IN ana ABOUT the fanloC.
Grutt- Balloon Hill lease on the Queer
estate is looking as well as ever an,
Manager Looney just as enthusiastic.
The working shaft is being pushed
TO greater depth with two shifts of men
three on each shift, in order to reach
the 1s5-foot level as soon as possible.
Manager Looney states that they expect
to reach this point and crosseut to the
ore within 80 days.
An upraise is being run along side the
ore from the 12O level. They are now
up about eight feet and show II inches
of high grade stuff that is said to run
$4,000 per ton, besides n three-foot
averaging from s34 to $43. The ore in
the bottom of the winze is as good as
it ever has been and maintains the high
average that has characterized it ever
since its discovery.
A shipment of rich ore was made
during the week, which consisted Of
$40 sacks, a~ggregating about q or
Is tons, the general average value of
which was said to be about $500 per
ton.
A second shipment of % tons of
high grade was made Tuesday to Ha-
zen, and will be sampled during the
next day or two. 1t will run about
the same as the previous shipment.
Returns from the sampler on the
two shipments have not been received
yet, but are expected in a day or two.
Kearns No. 2 Producing.
Developments ON the Rawhide Queen
Mines company's estate are being con
tinued regularly, and from the several
workings on various levels the ore
bodies hold their own with remarkable
steadiness.
On the 100.foot level of the old
Kearns 2 the company has drifted 70
feet and is running an upralse, which
is now along about IL feet. They are
in ore all the way, which proves to be
of a highly satisfactory milling grade.
This is being extracted and piled in the
ore house for reduction in some of the
local mills.
On the 65-foot level, they are work
ing on and developing the same lead
as that found on the 100 level. This
also contains a fine body of mill ore.
They are also extending another drift
on this level on the ore body.
In the Wine ON the l00-foot Level,
they have started a drift to the north
on a good body of milling ore.
Aside from these large bodies be
ing developed, a quantity of high grade
is being extracted from the rich string
ers ON both these levels, and this IS M
ore that has kept a string Of teams ~
work hauling to the Hazen smclter for
several weeks past.
Working Kearns No. !.
The Rawhide Queen Mines company
has taken over the leasehold formerly
held by the Kearns l people and IS
following the principle of letting out
leases on small blocks of ground com

by that company.
The upper or old workings have
been leased and several men will be
nut to work within the next few days.
Another lease has been let IN SHAFT
No. 9 on this block, to Munger and
Ford, who will at once proceed with
aggressive development. They Will start
work ON the Il0-foot level, where they
have a good body of ore. This body
has been developed on the 1o-foot level
as well, but they have commenced WORK
on the lower level to get in position TO
run an up-raise and stope it out to the
7O-foot point. This ore is said TO be OF
a shipping grade and the fortunate
l~essees are likely to reap their reward.
Work is going on with the usual vigor
by the Royal Mines company. On the
