PIOCHE-DEMDOHN
COMING ATTRACTION
Movement Practically Con-
Summated to Make a Mine
of Demilohn.

Pioche Demiiohn is resting on the
eve of an active campaign of devel-
opment A strong contingent of Salt
Lake mining men with faith in Phoebe
district and this property in partieu-
lar. has secured an option on the con-
troll. and within a few DAYS expect TO
inaugurate work on the property. the
ultimate object being 10 make OF the
DemijOhn one OF the leading proper
ties Of the district.
The Phoebe Demijohn is incorporated
for 100000 shares, with 100000
shares in the treasury. Half Of the
treasury stock viii be taken at such
figures as TO provide a working fund
sufficient TO carry the present work
ings into the larger productive terri
tory. An ample working fund is al
ready practically assured for this pur-
pose.
4OO-FOOt Shaft.
There is now a 200-fOot shaft on the
property. This viii be carried down
probably zoe feet deeper, the object
being 10 get into the underlying sec
ond bed of shale and finally into the
quartzite. where big. permanent bodies
of ore are anticipated. This second
shale zone in the Prince has proven
productive territory, but eminent en-
d. gineers and mineralogists who know
the camp thoroughly say the quartz
tie which the Prince mas not yet pene-
Irsted will lie the great ore bearing
zone.
Cut by Yuba Dixie.
The DemijOhn has produced con-
siderable ore from the surface down
10 the 200 level, the lowest depths
Yet attained. The great Yuba dixie
cuts through the property, and this
is generally acknowledged 10 be the
mother vein and great Undertaking
agency OF the Phoebe district.
One Of the main movers in the
scheme 10 finance and develop Demi-
john. when seen yesterday, admitted
the foregoing as being substantially
correct adding: If our plans carry
out as present outlined, we expect 10
make a mine of DemilOhn, and VIII,
by oh mining. make the stock

In reference TO the Demijohn, the
T. X Cobb circular says;
Prom surface indications and from
the peculiar geological features. there
is perhaps no property an the Phoebe
district which holds out greater prom
Use than the PiOche-DemijOhn. A
vein of ore from one 10 four feet in
width has been followed from the
surface for a hundred feet or dip
OF forty-fiVe degrees TO the westward.
This vein carries rich values in sill
yer, lead and gold. After following
this vein far enough 10 assure them
selves of consistency in size and val
ues. the company sank a vertical
working shaft. cutting the vein on the
hundred foot level, and continuing on
10 the 200 level are now prosecuting

marked in this property by conditions

secting almost in the center of their
group. This group. which consists of
eight claims. all patented covers 140
acres Of ground.
The dixie on the line OF assuring
with the Golden Prince, insures a
large body of commercial ore. while
che Yuba dixie holds out promise OF
assuring OF the bonanza type. In fact
some of the large free samples of ore
in the vein opened, assay as high as
GEO ounces silver. seventy per cent
lead and $50 in gold
The combination of these two
sources OF naturalization marks the
Pioehe-DemijOhn as one of the bright
lights Of what is destined TO be the
greatest siiyer-lead camp in the world.
