The winze in the Little Charlie tun-

thirty feet in excellent mill ore.
At the Treasure 4SO tons were milled
during the week There is sufficient
ore now broken in the slopes to sup
ply mill for six months. Developments
in the lower levels are satisfactory.
Twelve hundred fifty tons were
mlled during the week at the Socorro,
drawn largely from the lower levels.
A fair tonnage is being sent to the
Deadwcod mill from the development
conducted by leasers at Deep Down.
Thirty-four tons of ore were shipped
to the Deadwood mill from twenty feet

during week Twenty-one tons were
milled from the Johnson extracted in
sinking shaft eighteen feet.
Engineers are examining the Ernes-
tine property with a view of purchas-
ing controlling interest. They are
substantial people and if the deal Is
consummated it will mean much to the
the district in the way of operations
on a large scale. Second bullion clean
up for May is being smelted.
Unwatering OF the lower levels OF
the Deadwoed mines is about complete
after which work will be pushed in
that region. The good ore recently en-
countered in third level continues and
other development heads are also pro-
ducing a good tonnage. Considerable
custom ore is being handled in addi-
ton to mine output. The daily ore
treatment Is around sixty tons.

The statesman walked right ahead
without even looking at the besiegers.

Out of twenty-one separate and dis

ming, there are eight fields that are
now producing petroleum in paying
quantities. At each one of thes eight
fields wells have been driven down to
the oil sands and flow of oil encoun-

wells in the state that are producing
as low as ten barrels per day, and
others that are producing as high as
fifteen hundred barrels.
One of the richest gold strikes ever
made in this part of the country is re-
ported in the Victoria Gold Company's
claim on Middle Fork, few miles
from Centennial. Specimens Of ore
have been shown that are enormously
valuable. There are occasional pock-
cts Of almost pure gold in the ore and
from average samples, in which little
gold was visible, assays have been Sc
cured that run well over $4,000 per
ton. B. P Arendell, of the Encamp-
ment district, has visited the property
and states that from the results of
numerous paintings of the ore, he be-
lieves much of it would run upward of
$4,000 per ton. The property, consist
