Especial 10 The Herald Republican,
BannOck New March BIN one place
about two feet of $50 ore. which has i'm
proved with depth to three feet, that as
says from $40 to SS0-mostly gold; below
this body about ten feet and lying along
side it toward the hanging wall is a foot
of ore carrying copper and d prOfusiOn
of leaf silver, that assayed when first en-
countered over 20 ounces silver. And
it, too, is getting wider as depth is gained.
This is the condition In the lease on the
Pioneer ana Smuggler lOdes Of the Buz-
gard group at BannOck, taken by Messrs.
Hanks, Haas and Muller three expert
enced miners from Contact, New. They
have been sacking ore since about the
second week after they took hold OF the
property. IL has not been scarcity OF
ore that has prevented them rom having
out d carload ere this; il has been the
miserable weather Now the draw back
in attaining the height Of every miner 5
ambtiOn-tO be shipping-is flood or
water drowning them out of their Work
ings. But there is limit to this, and the
long looked-fOr steady production may be
expected to be moving through the streets
OF BannOcA before the month Closes
This ore lies in a quartzite formation
and is apparently an immense iron dixie
prouuding through and traVersing the
Quartzite. It's strike is almost due north
and south, and runs at an angle with the
ledge in the Buzzard workings about ZtNO
feet north and east. The latter has been
shipping ore averaging about SlCO, mostly
in gold. The values in the heavily IRON
stained matter taken out by the Hanks
people are in gold, outside or the pure
silver-coDDer seam. Some of the specl-
mems of cOpper-stained quartz ana IRON
stained quartz, both covered with the Tree
leaf silver, are the handsomest ever seen.
The showing made by these experienced
miners is a condition created by persist
ent pegging away unuer most adverse
conditions. and not a theory being ex-
plotted al the expense of stockholders
treasury They found small seam OF ore
on the surface and they went down on it,
and they are going TO keep going down
until il plays out Then II Will be time
enough to prospect around on the surface
for other indications of ore hOdles. II
is an evidence Of what this district has IN
store for those who know how to mine.
Haworth Lease in 500 Ore.
Another very encouraging condition is
presented in what is known as the Ha-
worth lease on block Z of the Nevada
Omaha estate. By some mischance much
valuable time has been lost on this lease.
One emplOye sank thirty feet on an out
crop of heavily iTOn-stained decOmposed
quartz. which it was hoped would form
into a harder quartz with depth rms
theory did not hold out Then another
took hold. and with an interest IN the
lease as an incentive, he began in sys-
tematic and miner-hke way to explore the
ground. After running a tunnel forty Ieel
into the hill to crOsscut an iron OuJcrop,
ne has developed a quartz vein ten Ieel
wide, running almost due norm ana south
and cutting through pOrphyry uke
Drifting on this vein to the east for ten
feet. there appears to be another Vein'
and for two feet along the footwall or TINS
the assays have returned over SlGO gold
TO the ton.
There is a mine and good one on this
block and Mr.. Tau is going to bring II
into a producing stage in short tlIne
The ore is all free milling ana easily re
moved This condition has given near
to several other earnest workers IN the
camp, and it is going to make good yet
PIacers Against Problem.
The placer ground workers have had
more than a week of passably good wealth
er with the water from the melting SHOWS
running freely. The result, every one OF
them has been washing out the yellow
metal IN large quantities with Ordinary
rockers. From the BOetcherding & Wal
ker diggings better than 500 was taken
out in less than five days. Some OF the
nuggets had a value as high as -. VI
the JudsOn, the Sprenger, the McGllNray-
AIaver and the Walker-AnthOny properties
returns were equally as good, and thes'

What the future production will be now
that the running water is ceaslng IS prop
lematical but the opinion is that th'
sinking of wells in the upper end VIII fur'
nish the necessary water for siuIclng and
washing. The gold values, and in coars
gold that has net come very far, are here
and the man who can furnish an econom
cal method can share in rat CLEANUP
with some of the owners, whether tina
cleanup be made by water or dry wash
ing. Ii is believed there is cOnsiderabl
lime in the soil, and that it will slaci
easily when exposed to the sun, thus CIV
inc oDDortunity for the gold values TO b
0uicEiv shaken from the rocks when pass
ing through the machine. At present bu
one gulch is being worked extensively
but there are others as rlen; as mas pee
nroven nv prospecting. The Bannocl
Publicity bureau will be pleased 10 hea
from placer ground investors and place
machine men.
