Swope, who went out to the mines this week. reports that the showing in all the properties on the big lead is good. The old tunnel on one of the properties is being cleaned out and work will soon be under way driving ahead through the great vein
 Thomas Brobant and Manuel Ruiz came in yesterday from Secret Pass, where they had been doing the annual work on a group of mines owned bl Mir. Brobant. Samples of the ore struck in one of the veins while doing the work was exhibited on the street and showed rich in silver. While the vein has always shown silver values and only small amount of gold.

 F. A. Fletcher came over from Chlo-

The ore was taken from the Goldback mine, near Chloride, which has been under oper- ation the past several months, under the management of Mir. Fletcher. It is understood that a fine body of ore has been opened in the mine and that regular shipments will be made after the mine has been properly developed by shaft and drift.
 Work with the diamond drill has been under way the past two weeks at the Cyclopic mines. One hole was sunk to a deptht of about sixty feet, but owing to the crushing of the light casing it had to be abandoned. Anoth- CT hole, at last report, was down about eighty feet. A churn drill is being used to get through the vein capping and the diamond drill is to be used in taking out the core from the vein. By the sinking of number of holes it is expected that the Cyclopic vein will be sunk to the ore body. Col. Powell, who has been conducting operations on the mine is confident that he will eventually open up a splendid prop erty.
 Wednesday last George Aitken came in from his Metallic group of mines, at Music Mountain, where he did the as- sessment work for the year lgIO He reports that at depth of 35 feet on one of the claims he opened up two foot body of splendid gold ore. The veins of the group are all exceptional ly good looking, and all carry gold in pay values. He has bonded the prop critics to Col. F. T. Powell. of James, town, New York, and work is to soon be commenced on development. Col. Powell is now at the Cyclopic mine. MT. Aitken has held the mines in Music mountain a number of years and has done large amount of develop ment work.
