mill ore. There are over 400 tons OF

more blocked out. 1t is the intention

Codd Lease in Good Ore.
A. A. Codd, of the Codd Mines com
pany, has been spending some time in
Rawhide, looking after the work OF
their leasehold on the Queen estate
known as the st. Ives. He states that
the company is going after a shipment
of ore from the upper levels, which
will be treated at o ne of the Local
mills. This shipment VIII. be taken
from the 100-foot and upward.
On the 400 level they are sacking
shipping grade ore. This is in the
sulphide ore on that Jewel recently
opened up. This character of ore
that is of a mill grade quality will
be taken out and stored for treat
ment at the local mills when they are
in a position to treat it.
The company is driving a crosscut
on the 200 level to open up ore on that
working. This is being run west, tow
ard the workings of the Grutt- Balloon
Hill lease, which adjoins the st. Ives,
and in which the rich ~sulphide body
was opened up some weeks ago.
Amalgam ans for Victor Mill.
The two large six-foot amalgam pans
that were ordered some time ago for
the Victor mill, arrived Wednesday
night and they are being installed as
rapidly as possible. These pans were
made by the Virginia & Truckee Rail-
way shops, and are from patterns usei
by the most successful mills on the
Comstock lode. The engine purchased
some time ago is already installed and
the shafting is all up ready to start
the pans as soon as they can be placed
on their foundation. The engine is
large enough to run the pans and also
a complete cyanide plant Of fifty tons
daily capacity.
!Grutt Mining Has Good Ore.
The Grutt Mining company are drift
ing both north and south from their
main shaft on the 200-foot level. The
south drift now has about two feet Of
a good grade Of milling ore, assays
from which have run as high as $50
per ton. No attempt is being made to
mill this ore, as it runs so high in
silver that it is impossible to get 8
very high extraction of the values with
out cyanide; but the first mill that getl
cyanide in operation will have its hands
