A good strike has been made
on the D. S. Chubb land, on the
state line, six miles southwest of
this city, II per cent dirt being
taken from the drill cuttings.
Drilling has been resumed on
the P. J. Chubb land, and now
that the ore area on the adjoir-
ing land has been pretty we'll de-
fined, there is no doubt of big
strikes being made on this land,
as the ore run defined, as stated,
is headed toward Mr.. Chubb's
land.
A drill outfit has been moved
onto Lum Sparlin's place, and
Lum is dreaming of automobiles,
cabarets, etc. 1t is possible he
may get to doing the tango.
A drill outfit has begun opera
tons on the Swalley land.
But the real big strike of 1914,
and we don't know but what 1t Is
bigger than any made in 1913, is
on the Toovey land, just on the
west side of Blue Mound. Oh.
Youse is doing the drilling there,
working for his partners and
himself, and last week he went
through a little more than 40
feet of ore which sssayed a little
more than 80 per cent metallic
ore. The cuttings we're displayed
here in town to dozens of mining
men who freely pronounced them
the richest they had ever seen.
Mr.. Youse is drilling another
hole a short distance away from
this rich strike. He has nine
