started a long series OF outdoor expe-
Gltions from his home in the noun

he acted as umpire of the trap-shoot-
ers' matches which form so notable a
feature of the outdoor life OF the COM

RICH ORE DEEP IN
LUCKY BOY MINE.
Two Feet in Lowest Level
Yields 700 Ounces Sill
yer, IT'S Said.

Ore that yields picked specimens which
run 220o0 ounces of silver to the ton, and
samples across two and one-half feet, Civ
ing from $50 to 1,O0e ounces silver to the
ton, is the quality of stuff that Is being
developed on the 650-foot level Of the AL
amo cOmpany's workings at Lucky Boy.
j. J. Mccarthy, manager of the Silver
Moon lease. adjoining the Alamo, reports
those results from assays recently secured
by Johnnie" Miller, president and man
ager OF the parent company.
The exceedingly high grade ore closely
resembles the black metallic silver from
the famous MOllie Gibson mine at Aspen,
Colo, while some of the lower grade ore
carries about p per cent Head in addition
to its high silver content.
Mr.. Mccarthy says that the big ore lens
on the 55o-leyel west of the shaft, shows
ninety feet of continuous ore and the
slopes are being carried up on seven feet
of solid mineral.
On account Of a heavier flow Of water
having been encountered where the ore
was tapped on the $50 level, a large pump
has been ordered by the Alamo company
and will be installed as soon as it ar
rives.
Work is progressing rapidly on the Sill
yer Moon lease and a small amount of ore
is now showing in the drift as encourage
ing indications of what may be found in
the near future.

De LAMAR
TO RIVAL BUTTE
Merging of Mines for Large
Operations Said to Be
Assured.

With the retirement next June OF the
receiver in whose hands are the affairs of
the Bamberger-De Lamar Gold Mining &
Milling company OF De Lamar, New, a
complete reorganization of the company
ana merging Of a number of properties of
the district will take place, according to
report from camp. Miners who have
worked in both districts assert that condi-
tons of formation and ore occurrence in
De Lamar are identical with those of
Butte, and with development of the mines
at depth 1t is believed that De Lamar will
make a great copper camp.
The famous Magnolia mine of the Bam-
berger-De Lamar company comprises less
than one full claim, but it has produced
great deal Of rich ore, which in the early
days was shipped to Salt Lake City by OK
team, and it Is believed that the big mine
is yet to be developed in the ground.
The mine showed high-grade values
from the surface to the 200-foot level.
Then copper and silver values came in TO
the extent that rendered it impossible for
the values to be saved in the company's
large MILL and the ore was not rich
enough to stand the high shipping ex-
pense.
This change from gold values to cop
per and silver is the same change that
took place IN the Butte mines, compile ting
the points Of resemblance which lead min
ing men to believe that Magnolia hill in
De Lamar will with development rival the
famous Mineral hill of Butte.
