CALEDONIA MINE.
At the point in Deadwood gulcl directly opposite
the mouth the Stewart tunnel the Caledonia mine also has
long cosscut adt nearing completion which has passed
the Osbun fault and designed to tap the Caledonia bod
les depth of 500 feet below their present lowest level
something 1000 feet below the apex of the vein This
mel to be $500 feet long when completed and is already
$500 feet raise has already been started tap
200 feet below the 500 foot level which expected
icept the ore bodies early in 1912.
This property has been operated steadily for the past
years and has made gross output of rich exceeding
ISL 100000 in value Its principal development consists Of
incline shaft 500 feet deep sunk the body from point
lon the old Sierra Nevada road This shaft equipped with
an electric hoist air compressor and electric driven pumps
There two main levels 1t 800 and 500 feet depth respect
lively The vein is of the strongest northeast southwest
assures in the Bunker Hill foot wall country and the operation
lis situated about 200O feet north Of the Bunker Hill VEIN
On the Caledonia claim Of this property the vein is 10 to-
80 feet wide in the discovery shaft of soft brown manganfer
ous gossan in walls of Burke quartze Its first important
shipping development made at the 300oot level in the
shaft from which large output of high grade mineral has
been marketed At the 500oot level which is still
ensve the values have been maintained and expanded n
marked degree and yet the conditions Of the vein at
this considerable depth is still considerably oxdzed and alter
ed indicating the still further filling and expansion in the size
OF the bodies at the level being opened from the long
crosscu tunnel in Deadwood guIch The of this mine
very much resembles the rich values found the Sierra Ne
vada vein in the early history the district which is situated
the opposite side of the Wardner lode Its consist OF
variety Of lead carbonate minerals with native silver and
considerable shattered quartz shoots containing rich
values associated with gray copper and silver chloride min
erals Indeed this mine has discounted all former records
o the district for high silver values and during the
shipped carload of from the 500foot level containing
$50 silver l6 per cent copper and per cent lead
which higher silver value for carload shipment than ever
ofore sent from the Occur d Aene district

Of alteration and steering 1t also noted for inter
lpn and main fault dsp placement which
to terminate the main body to the north in the ad
Ginning Omaha claim There has been developed during the
the 500foot level Of this mine DO v that makes
fault slip Of slight displacement that is 80 feet wide from
vhc several carloads of crude have been sorted and
shipped containing 40 per cent lead per cent copper and
silver for each unit of lead The total of the
ground cut cut this great shoot has given per cent
lead AID 20 silver This remarkable swell of mineral
is sha oed something like ham horizontal section with the
big end the fault displacement and the small end shank
100 feet to the west the of the ven 1t has been
picked up the opposite side of the fault and followed for
considerable distance showing average width Of 20 feet
Ct the same class of ore.
The rich bearing portion of this vein has been proven
be fully 700 feet in length and the richest encountered
the west end of the development towards the Bunker
