-Four Carloads Ready,

ELY, Nov. 5. Good progress has
been made in the drifting from the
nam tunnel of the Ely Central during
the past week. The drift in the iron,
which is being run in a westerly d.
rection, has now been put in for a dis
lance of about 50 feet and last eve
ming broke into another cave. Access
could be gained for a distance of about
As feet, and while it has not been OPP
ened up sufficiently to allow a close
inspection, a short examination dls-
closed copper stains throughout.
Bunches of good copper ore have beeh
encountered almost every day and iron
of all kinds is everywhere. The man
agement is highly elated over recent
developments in this part of the work
ings, and the work of pushing THIS

Five leases are steadily working
away ON the Atlanta estate, these
comprising Century and the Boom
leases, under the management of }. a.
Houiahan; the Precious Metals and tbs
Cherokee and the Queen Consolidated
leases. The Boom lease is working IN
a promising vein of low grade ore at a
depth of 400 feet. The Cherokee is
working on a fine vein of low grade ore
at a depth of $40 feet, and indications
are splendid for ore with any round
of shots. The Queen Consolidated has
sunk the old June shaft to a depth OF
700 feet and is also doing work in fine
looking quartz veins. Extensive Ia
teral work is being done in the Pree-
ious Metals lease at 80 feet depth,
where a huge quartz vein, believed to
be the main st. Ives vein, has been

The westerly crosscut on the 700
foot level of the Yellow Tiger is now
out well under the top of the big hill
that crowns the central part of the
estate, and steady drifting is being
done in a quartz vein that lays in the
dacite formation. The quartz is very
heavily mineralized, and associated
with much alunite. Small values are
showing, and Manager John Bates is
feeling more confident than eve that
ore is going to result from the opera
tions that are in progress.

OF good shipping ore, and are gradual
ly increasing the scope of their ope-

in progress on the Commonwealth, and
ore is being developed on the Gold Bar

a net profit of nearly $4,000 for the

tended in a northerly and southeriy d.

on the various levels into the hanging

These crosscuts are continually cutting

being followed by drifts which are
