LITTLE DAISY MINE
 STILL IMPROVING
'From Thursdays DaiIvp

From Thursdays Daily,
 That the Little Daisy is . mine. in
 every sense that the term implies
 and that it has advanced from the
 stage of being only a desirable pros.
 pect, is the report that T. E. Camp.
 bell brings from that enterprise a,
 Jerome, after a practical examination
 of underground conditions in evidence
 at the present time.
 Through the courtesy of !. |
 Fisher, general manager of the com.
 pany, Mir. Campbell was extended the
 privilege of going below, and yes.
 serday, after his return to this city.
 made a general statement, in which
 ne prcfaeed his interview by saying
 That until he made the examination
 or the property, he had no eoncep.
 ''on of what was prevailing in the
 deeper workings or in the zone where
 recent and pronounced development
 has take nplaee.
 While 1t is true, have long been ideutiAed with tbst district, U said MT. Campbell, "and have been In the immediate vicinity ever since the big strike occurred, last
 March, this is the first opportunity presented for an examination of the ground, and I sm surprised at what is in evidence.
 "At three different points below the development is incontrovertible evidence of the creation of a splen. did piece of mining property, any practical man will eorroborate that regard. At the present time the op. erations are going on at the eastern portion, where red oxides, native cop. per, copper glance, iron and copper sulphides are shown. Drifting to the west is going on also on that con. di'ion, and sixty feet of a contin. uous ore body without a break occur. ring is explored.
 " From the point, and without any attempt to mine for tonnage, there are, approximately, 300 tons of ore on the dump Samples taken from this production will show copper val. ues ranging from to per cent, with gold values better than si0 per ton. In running cast from tho above crosscut for a distance of about $50 feet, the same character of ore is developed. On account of the foul air prevailing the east drift at the present time is not being worked.
 "At point 200 feet distant in an casterly direction from the shaft, and $50 feet from the point where l the original strike was made a few months ago, crosscut from the main shaft is now entering the foot. wall gouge of the contact, north of which lies tho ore as developed. East of that point. and on the contact, within the next few days, pre-. diet another and larger ore body will be opened up by continuation | of the ore body now being developed on the east, making s distance in length of n continuous ore condition | If $50 feet. This is based on the fact that near the point toward which | this crosscut is heading an enormous low grade dyke intersccts the main | contact at right angles.
 ''From the bottom of the 2s5 foot | winze, and following the footwall of ! the contact, a drift is now in pro. gross on the footwall toward the esst. It is also in the same formation | in which exists the ore bodies in the 500 foot level"
 In conclusion, MT. Campbell also says that a great amount of timber | ing is shown on the property through | recent operations, and in order to keep up the ground mining work has ,t times been suspended accordingly. | In speaking of the conditions pre-. vailing below in the recent develop ment. nc says the ore bodies estab- | lished have strike from the south west to the northwest, and dip to | The northeast, and lay in the great north fault of the big mineral sys. tenn of that field.
