The products of the Hercules mine hauled by the rail
company to the Hercules mill located few hundred
yards below WALLACE This of the conveniently
arranged and ito date concentrating plants in the district
and has been in successful operation since its compeon
placing the Burke mill of this company destroyed by fire. and
has given exceptional satisfaction saving results One
fo the interesting features of the equ pmen of this plant
the Francis table local invention and novel innovation
over the ordinary concentrating table by of the fact
that has two additional Sits in the main flow sheet where
clear water introduced and the separation of the mineral
very largely increased 1t is especially adapted to the of
this mine and has given very gratifying results
Ajax Mine
One Of the most interesting discoveries and lines of de-
veopment in the Burke district during the year that of
the Ajax mine adjoining the Hercules to the north whore the
vein intercepted at point it's strike by short
rosscu tunnel and drift extended along its for
,ral hundred feet disclosing most attractive showing of
shattered quartz gangue with kidneys Of clean lead and
considerable dissemination Of good concentrating mineral in
separate shoots that warrant the anticipation Of important
commercial with further development at depth
To this end the Ajax company has leased the upper tunnel of
the Moonlight company which already driven in the right
direction about 1000 feet and being extended north the
Ajax vein which will be intercepted at additional depth Of
several hundred feet below it's present attractive showing
and promises to result in the development Of producer
or the Burke district The ax vein is parallel to and about
1000 feet north of the Hercules in the favorable
bearing formation and has been cut at number Of points
between the east end of the and Ambergrs claims the
vest all of which appear to carry the ven On the Am
bergr 2foo streak of clean shipping disclosed in
shaft sunk from the surface whose extent has not been fully
determined This is remarkably strong sse and very per
sistcnt demonstrated by the points at which
has been opened and the tunnel being driven to intercept
it at considerable depth under the excellent showing of the
ax property should demonstrate it's bearing merits This
enterprise affords of the attractive prospects and
uave chances of the district for the discovery of
nine and of high grade lead silver mineral
Marsh Mine
The Marsh mine at Burke is another development
ven This property has developed very fine shoot
excellent concentrating eadsver in adt tunnel 500
feet long The main shoot this property 100 feet
ong at the ad tunnel level where underground station
made and equipped with first class hoist and incline
Shaft sunk the vein 200 feet deep where another drift
disclosing the fact that the shoot had expanded in
length to over feet and maintained it's quality This shaft
now being sunk additional 200 feet and when recently
assing the 300foot point below the ad level short
m through the vein revealed pay streak Of clean shipping
gaena nearly feet thick and the property to be
spending depth excellent manner and likely to
new resource of for the Burke district of considerable
tonnage capacity
