date over 1000 tons of ore have been
shipped from this lease tlfat have aver
aged $34 per ton in silver. The prop
erty is worked through tunnel which
cuts the vein at a depth OF $50 feet.
A 15-horse power gasoline engine tur-
nishes power to drive Z-drill com
.pressor When the hoist is installed
Wine will be run on the ledge from
the tunnel level.

! without sorting
The Case lease, on the same lead.

is to run from the time the tunnel hits
the vein. A blind ledge has been cut
| by the tunnel which contains some
values.
The Friedman lease. next to the
above north. has prospecting plant
in operation. After sinking short
distance it appeared that the ledge
had fauted and the leasers started a
shaft in another place and at depth
of y feet have a 6-foot ledge that av-
erages SIS per ton in silver.
Lincoln Hill. principally controlled
by Forvely and Campbell, is the high
grade section, and here gold and silver
