the greatest ore body will be found.
ON THE CONTACT.
The Susan Buster mine which is
near the top OF the gap. between tho
two large hills shown in the picture
of Phoebe is on the contact, a little
to the right and 700 feet further down
the hill comes tho No. | shaft and al
most in Il straight lire 500 feet further
down the hill comes the Greenwood
shaft.
The shaft at tho Susan Buster is
down 400 feet. This opens up the same
high grade galera and zinc blende ore
that was encountered in the Other
shafts, and also found In the ledge. The
200. 800 and AGO levels have been cx-
tended out and all are in ore. The
Greenwood shaft is down 400 feet from
the bottom of which 100 foot cross
cut Is driven Into the hill where 1t in
tersects the ore In the contact, thus
proving the company has l,200 feet OF
the ore on the contact.
There are scores OF other smaller
assures ana beddcd veins in the prop
erty which win weld ore. one Of
the first things that will be done on
this property Is the erection of Il mill
having 500 tons daily capacity. This
company at present owns the water
that is used TO supply tho town OF
Phoebe.
WILL BLOCK OUT ORE.
Tho levels of the various properties
are to be connected up 50 that an
enormous tonnage will be opened up.
The black Voin or ledge was discovered
years ago by the Raymond & Ely in
crosscutting on the Zoo level. Enough
prospecting was done on this level to
show that the ore body was ut least
80 feet wide and extended through sew
eral hundred feet of drifting that was
done. Tests have shown that the orc
contains 40 ounces in silver, 10 per
cent lead. 20 per cent zinc and $3.50 in
gold throughout the shoot.
The Raymond G. Ely did not raise on
this ore but sunk 3O0-foOt winzc. At
this extreme depth of 1900 feet, to tho
east steel galena carrying 400 ounces
of silver and 30 per cent lead filled the
vein for three feet of its width. This
rich breast of ore has remained undiS-
turbcd all these years and offers great
promise to the present owners
In the eastern end Of the Yuba dixie
are found carbonntcs, while at the west
tho sulflds are found Along the paral-
lei fssurc. which Is the Raymond &
Ely assure, wore tho famous mines
known rs the Yub1, the Currency, tho
Grccnback, the Silver and the indie
pendent. These have produced mil
lions in rich cad-silvcr orc and are
part of the consolidation.
