The old Phillipsburg properties fif-
teen miles north of Chloride, have
been secured by the Black Range Re-
dnetion works. which. under the man
agement of MI. T.. G. Rudolf, is re-
modelling and greatly charging the
old 20.stamp cyanide plant. New and
improved machinery is being Installed
with the intention OF beginning opera
tons for the treatment of custom ore
not later than September I. The eight
claims controlled by the company are
being developed also. and a G00-foot
tw0-compartment shaft Is now down
l25 feet, and constantly descending.
Levels will be run every hundred feet,
"A 30-horsepowAr steam hoist and boil
er have been installed aud ore is be-
ing removed which averages about
SIS in gold with some silver. II Is
hoped that this enterprise will be the
means Of opening up the rich Fluor-
inc district, two miles north, which
has remained idle FOR some years, ow-
ing to the expense OF shipping its pro-
duets for treatment.
As is well known, the Flourine dis
trict. so named for the constant oc-
OF the amNthist stain
throughout its ores. is very rich in
gold. IT is traversed by true fissure
veins in which occur ore chutes, car
ryiug phenomenal values. some SAM
pies having assayed to $4,000 and
over in gold to the ton, These veins
occur In 4 great andecite upheaval,
with d n%ortherly by southerly trend,
showing a great gold belt which has
been prospected for fifteen miles.
While little ore has been recently
shipped. the prospects Of tho OPEN
ing Of the Phillipsburg mill has en-
couraged much development work.
The Republic group, which is I'M
doubtedly the largest and richest
property. has just disclosed an ore
chute $50 feet in length by Z feet in
width which has given a number OF
assays Of over $500 II gold Two
one 100 feet and the other 30
feet in depth have been sunk, and q
200-foot tunnel run, showing excellent
ore. During the past six months some
S15,000 has been expended on the
Gold Dollar properties and about GOO
feet OF ground has been blocked out
in shafts and tunnels with assay re-
turns to $50 to the ton. A 3O-foot
shaft has been sunk ON the Gold Re-
serve in the bed OF Poverty G.veK and
is operated by a 30-horsepowerf steam
hoist. ore running from Sc to S42 in
