Drifting is being carried on at the
300 level of the Enterprise mine, IN

ok. The property is also being de-
veloped at other points.
Clack brothers are driving their
drift into the Rico vein and expect to
tap the ore body below the shaft at a
depth of about 100 feet. The boys
have opened a nice body of ore that
they expect to readily extract through
this drift.
Ernest \. HaggOtt, the well known
mining engineer, who has charge of
the development of the Neglected
group of mines, in the Silver Creek
section, departed to Los Angeles last
night, where he will spend the holt
days with his family.
w. q. Carleton has just completed
the assessment work on a number OF
mining claims in the Chemehueyis
mountains for G. w. Geer. of Los
Angeles Mr.. Geer has held the
claims many years and believes he has
something good in the properties.
Many prospectors are daily going in
10 the Secret Pass section. north of
the Goldroad, where recently splen-
did strike was made on the Winni.
fred mine. The whole country be-
tween the Goldroad and Union Pass is
mineralized, the veins being big and
carrying good values in gold. The
close prospecting of that section is
sure TO bring to light some rich prop
critics before the spring opens.
The right-of-way for the tram from
The Rainbow to landing in an Access
sable place has been secured across all
the mines and the main towers for the
line erected. As soon as the rope is
received the work of putting in the
small carrying frames will be com
pleted and the line put in commission.
The mine is in fine shape for output
ting a desirable ore in large quanti-
ties.
E. II. Barton, general manager of
the Frisco Mines & Power company,
who recently suffered an injury to bis
hand, has beed laid up at his home in
Los Angeles. He will probably re-
turn about the first of January to
again assume charge. During his
absence Supt. O'Brien has been max
ing a successful run of the mill, while
the mine has been meeting all expecta-
tions.
Judge W. G. Blakely departed this
morning to Chemehuevis mountain,
where he is interested in a group of
mining claims near the old Sunrise
property, high On the mountain above
SCOTS Well. He will be gone about
two weeks looking after his interests
and getting work started up on the
mines and the little mill. 1t is under
stood that the mines have excellent
showing of gold ore, the value ranging
from sos to zoos to the ton.

said to carry good values in both gold
and silver.
Peter Gallery came in from Layne
Springs yesterday and reports that the
deep drift on the Alpha mine is now in
900 feet and the last 200 feet has been
in high grade of copper ore. At the
present time the breast is all in ore,
the values being disseminated
throughout a large vein. About eigh-
teen inches of the ore is copper of a
high value, while the balance is made
up Of copper, lead and zinc. The
value of the ore as it is broken down
is about sos, although some of it gives
values as high as 1900 ounces silver to
the ton. A big flow of water has been
encountered in the drift, which is a
good indication for ore in that section.
