Despite the low metal market prices
that have prevailed since August 1st
up to this time, this camp has been a
steady producer and considerable de-
velopment work has been and is be-
ing carried on.
The Nevada Bunker Hill Mining
company, has during the summer in
stalled an air compressor and Inger-
soll-Lyner drill, with which to drive
their main working tunnel, which is
now In a distance of 223O feet, and
will continue work on some this win
ter.
There are six sets of leasers work
ing on this company's property, four
of whom have and are still shipping
ore to the Salt Lake smelters.
The principal shipper to date has
been the key Lease" owned by the
Dome Mining & Reduction Co. of San
Francisco, who have shipped since
June list to date 2345 tons of silver
lead-copper ore of gross value of $780,
| 10000
/ The ELK Lease" owned by VIM.
Fordham has shipped $50 tons of
gross value of $4,000 a large tom
mage of ore has been developed in this
lease, than can be marketed on a
normal metal market.

by Messrs. Peterson & Kerr and has
chinnnI 1En toon "
$2681.
The Elk lease No. 7 is owned by
Messrs. D.. w. Frank and r.. Kinnie
and has shipped III tons of gross
value of $317S.
They have opened an ore body so
feet deep 20 feet wide and of unknown
length, that can be shipped direct to
smelter without sorting and which
promises to be another of the large
ore bodies for which this old mine is
celebrated.
A lease has been let by the COM
pany on the Tripoli mine, in which a
fine ore body is opened by It's deepest
workings and this mine will no doubt
be in the shipping class next spring.
MI. John McConaghy and associ-
ates have a bond and lease on the
Sweepstakes group owned by Messrs.
Hesson, Hylton, and Hunter and dur
Ing the summer he has shipped about
$50 tons Of silver-copper ore. During
the summer he has opened up a large
ore body and during this winter he
will drive their main tunnel to con
meet with this ore body and raise on
1t to connect with shaft sunk on IL
this summer
When this work has been done It
will enable him to mine this ore cheap
ly and to market same to greater ad.
vantage than at present. The Helen
M. Mining Co., whose property is stu
ated in Lee Canyon to the south Of
the Sweepstakes group have installed
an air compressor and drill this sea-
son, with which to drive their main
tunnel anu have also shipped oyer 100

way to Salt Lake smelter.
AS the work done during the sum
mer in this camp has largely increas-
ed the ore reserves. with a normal met
al market next season this camp viii
be able to give a good account OF t.
self and increase this years output
many times over.
