To the Editor Of The Miner;
The Flake mine has had more Wis.
itory this week than at any time since
the sensational high grade ore was
first struck In the drift from the cross
cut tunnel The reason for this re-
newed Interest was the nncovering Of
another body Of the high grade that IL
little richer and shows more visible
gold, than the average of the shoot so
far uncovered. This Is IN the drift
from the 53-foot point in the winze.
The entire drift IL In good ore but re-
Gently the men were picking into the
hanging wall side Of the vein and dis
covered that for the last 5 or 10 feet
they were running alongside ore much
richer than that taken out In the work.
Al dozen points along the side the
gold IN the rock IL visible to the naked
eye by candle Highland when gold
can be seen In rock by candle light. 1t
IS safe betting that the same can be
called high grade. In accordance with
the policy 50 far pursued this high
grade will be allowed to stand. on
Tuesday the men started to sink the
winze another so feet.
Alpha 70 Resume.
John A. Jess returned to camp Tues
day evening. Now that he is here the
work will at once start on the Alpha
mine, Of which Mr. Jess Is the super-
intsndent and Honore Palmer OF Chi
cago the owner, A station will be cut
at the junction Of the tunnel and the
shaft-25o feet below the surface
and a hoist will be installed and the
shaft sunk to greater depth. A bunk
house for the men will be erected and
possibly other surface improvements
will be made
Bluster and Success.
AT the Buster they are extending
the south drift and though 1t is look
ing most encouraging, there is no par
i3cular change at this time. IT Is be-
lieved by some that this drift will soon
catch the shoot OF excellent ore that
wss opened up In the shaft.
The crosscnt from the 400-foot tun-
mel In the Success Ia now In about
100 feet and Is still In. the same hard
rib Of rhvolite, similar to that which
'ncased the vein in the level above.
rhe work has been necessarily slow, !
tut 1t is believed that the vein win !
con be reached.
Picture Rock in Buckeye.
Drifting on the vein In the lower $
unnel at the Buckeye continues to dis
lose about the same grade Of ore. The !
Ugh grade streak Is still In evidence !
