MINING REVIEW

Known as the 524 drift, has contin-
ued in ore of uniformly high grade,
yielding average assays for this en-
tire distance of from $50 to $500 per
to-. All ore broken in this drift has
been worth at least $50 or $50 per
ton and most of it considerably
r.ore. This drift has followed the
shale contact. after proving that the
Gre continued beyond the ve-t'.a.
fault 81 osed at the A sha!e level.
From the southwest drift on the c
'5vel an incline raise was driven
through the shale and to the con-
tact. where it penetrated rich ore
Of great width. and a raise or this
ore has connected with the 524 drift,
Dpening a considerable area of STOP
ing hacks on this ore. A crosscut to
the south on the C level is nearing
the contact far below the 524 drift.
On the 1017-foot level a south drift
that has advanced beyond the end of
the crosscut has exposed ore of high
grade in the big quartz assure that
extends into the shale and at a point
soma 200 feet below the point of
assuring. This development opens
great possibilities for finding con-
tinuous ore at depth.

from the 1400-foot level of the Griz-

dition to greatly expand the scope
of its operations and to increase it's
production to almost any volume de-
sired. For the present, however, or
as Don as connection is made be-
tween the workings in ore and the
vertical raise. shipments will be
nIainJained at about so tons daily,
willie the mine is being further OPEN
ed up to facilitate stopping. Ore of
good grade is showing at several
widely separate points in the mine,
some of it being free from base met
ais and susceptible to treatment To-
cally, Drifts and crosscuts will be
advanced into the Grizzly Bear claim
on the 175O-foot level, the Atlanta
having secured a lease on the south
half of this claim. below the 400
foot level.
Merger Mines Co.
It is regarded as highly probable
that the disputes involving the Mer-
ser property will be settled within
the next week or two at most and
that mining operations will be re-
sumed on the property. This work
will be of particular interest, in
view Of the recent developments at
depth in the adjoining Jumbo Exten-
sion mine, which are regarded as
having an important bearing upon
the Merger property. 1t is believed
by the best authorities that the Mer-
ger has an excellent chance to pick
UP thc extension of the rich Jumbo
orehody in the northern part of the
st. Ives claim, within a short distance
of the raise that has been driven to
the shale contact from the 1265-foot
level.
Reorganized Booth
On the 500-foot level of the Booth
property a new drift in the big vein,

large shoot of milling ore that ap-

the company.
GOldfield Great Bend
Under the control of the Charles
S. Sprague company the Great Bend

liberal scale and powerful equipment
has already been ordered, including
air compressor, machine drills and a
two-stage Cameron pump of large ca

obtained at many POINTS in the prop

other raise is being driven from the

many good assays have been obtained.
