.GALENA IN WINE
At T|NT|C STANDARD
Find Is Made Seventy Feet
Below the 1O0O-foot
Level.

John Westerdahl, who was I'm town
the other day from the Tntic STANDARD
property in the eastern end OF the dis
trict, made very encouraging report
on the ore showing In tho WINE which
is being sunk from the 1000 level, says
the Eureka Reporter. The winze is
now down q distance Of about seventy
feet below the 1000 and q week or ten
days should be sufficient to take it tC
the HOO whore drifting Will BIO taken
up for the further development Of the
ore body which was first opened on the
1000 some months ago.
: This winZe has been following the
ore and part Of the mines first ship
ment, which brought such a splendid
check, was taken out as the sinking
progressed. A week or two ago tho ore
seemed to be dipping away from the
winze, but according to Mr.. Wester.
dahl 1t is now coming back and on
| Thursday there was n bunch Of solid
galena ore in the bottom Of the winze,
the high-grade material being about a
foot In width. The vein is undoubtedly
of liberal size and those who have Wis
tied tho property during the past few
directly above largo deposit Of high
grade ore. At any rate the showing
has never been quite so favorable and
| the officials OF the company are SO en-
Unused with the work that they have
| decided to put on another shift in order
that the development work may be
handled in more rapid manner.
In addition to tho work In tho winze
the management has again commenced
| operations in the main east drift.
Superintendent Westerdahl states
that he has had some little trouble in
getting coal to the mine during the
past few weeks, the wagon roads be-
ing in rather bad condition. Tho cost
of hauling coal between the railroad
and the mine is about $3.50 per ton.
Taking Copper From Dragon.
Frank Birch, the assistant manager
has again been taken up in the north
ern end of the Dragon Consolidated
ground (reached from the Black jack
workings), and that the miners are TAX
ing out q very nice grade of copper ore.
1t will be remembered that a number
of shipments were made from this por-
tion Of the Dragon during the summer
Of last year, When work was dlscon-
tinued at the Black Jack it resulted in
the suspension of operations In this
particular part of the Dragon.
Some very nice ore is also being
mined from the south end Of the Black
Jack ground. Ono shipment was for
warded to the smelter a week or two
ago and another will soon be ready for
the market.

mine, and just as soon as the wagon
road is in such condition that the
