BEGIN OPERATIONS
ON VICTOR CLAIM

The Victor shaft on the Victor claim
of the c. o. ID. Consolidated estate is
now being put in shape for operation
on company account, and. the manage
ment will soon start extensive mining
operations on that claim, with view
II following up and developing the
strong ore shoots that were exposed ami
developed to some extent in the early
days. When the Victor ground was be
ing worked in former lays nothing but
comparatively high gradc ore could be
touched by the operators, but now,
thanks to lower shipment and treat
ment charges, and the demand by vari
Gus smelters for the character of ore
that comes from the workings, ore run-
ming $50 to $50 may be handled, and
there is quite large tonnage of this
in sight.

M'KAY LEASE SHOWS
MUCH IMPROVEMENT

The FordeMcKay lease on the st.
Ives claim of the Merger Mines com
pany estate is showing much improve
ment the last day or so. The drift that
is being run along the rich ore shoot
that was opened two weeks ago shows
that the vein is widening out, and there
was a little more than foot of ore
that sacked around 5000 per ton, as
broken, the shoot is now better than
two feet vice, with the values hold
ing up.
The footwall of the vein is all ore,
that samples around the $40 mark, but
as vet no work has been done on this.
1t is possible that another good ore
shoot forms the footwall formation. The
leasers are devoting their time to prov.
ing up the lateral extent of the vein.
little later the vein will be tapped at
$50 feet in depth, ara if 1T holds up
good there a crosscut will be sent IN
from the 450foot level.

GREAT CONTRACT ON THE
SUTRO TUNNEL COMPLETE

in the main tunnel; air is brought down
through the north lateral from the
Union shaft, and through the south
lateral from the Alta shaft ON the ex
treme south, the Combination shaft at
point about midway on the lode be-
ing the upcast. The track has been re-
built at many points, and il is now
possible to do an unlimited amount of
work in and through the Sutro tunnel,
both in mining and transportation.
Remarkably rapid progress has been
made in the repair work during the
past 10 months, especially since the
stave pipe was completed, which at
once revolutionized the air and work
ing conditions.
1t is now possible for the middle
group of mines to get into their prop
critics on an economical basis from
levels which have been little explored
at depth, and places the tunnel COM
pany in a position to handle any
of transportation, etc., with the
tunnel as a working base.

YELLOW TIGER SHOWS
PROMISING FORMATION

The west drift in the Yellow Tiger
a, 700 feet has encountered a very
,.dieal change in formation, and the
f..e of the drift is now in very fine
looking quartz of the nodular character,
with much alunite and pyrites showing.
Low values are found in the vein and
these are slowly increasing as the cut
ooes in further. Manager John w.
Rates is of the belief that he is enter
;nc the main north and south forma-
,;on for which he has been driving the
long cut, and that something is due to
happen in the "innards f" of the Tiger
pretty soon.
Work on the promising three-foot
ouartz vein opened from the blind lead
about 40 feet to the west of the shaft
mas not yet started, save a little pre-.
liminary work to more plainly show the
trend and size of the vein. The vein
is cross fssure, showing some grey
copper, and much pyrite and sulphurets,
as well as low gold values. A drift
win soon be started along it, in An at
tempt TO reach its contact with the
north and south formation.
