modern and more e1nClent reQuCtlOn processes again made the Tiger ores commercially valuable. Although de- veloped to only the comparatively
 nominal depth of 400 feet. this veteran producer of an obsolete era of mining
 netted its owners upward of S500,O00 under the most adverse mining, mill ing and shipping conditions.

 former operators in the mining sec
 tions of Colorado and Nevada, are working under leasehold the estate Of the Tiger Gold Mining Company, bet
 ter known locally as the Orc Belle
 They are making shipments of gold
 bullion every week and appear to be on the road to fortune The Tiger Gold estate is another hold-over from former era in mining that is making good under the impetus of modern, mining and milling methods. The steam arastra of the primitive period was first utilized for the successful treatment of Tiger Gold ores. Later, 10-stamp mill-long since a pile of junk-was more successfully employ cd for that purpose, and in more re- cent years the 20-stamp mill now be- ing utilized by the leasers was used.
 The ore mined and milled in former years carried gold values as high as SIPS per ton and heli general aver age gold value of $50 per ton. Ore having value less than $50 per ton was thrown over the dump. The greater portion O. this dump rock can, in this day and age be treated at profit. The deepest point of develop ment is 450 feet. The mine workings show botil Assure and contact veins and hold large tonnage of SIS ore. On the lower level the ore body is said to measure 70 feet between walls. Adjoining the Tiger Gold estate on the north and carrying the same vein system, is the Savoy group. The Sa- voy is another of the oldtimers that is demonstrating it has future as well as past. In former years 1t was the scene of quite extensive develop ment work and was a producer oi high grade gold ore on a1 extensive scale. Somewhat recently the prop erty was taken over under lease by Michigan people-former operators of iron mines in the Mesabi range. The winze below the tunnel level shows an ore shoot that samples an average of $28 gold per ton. Nearby, lateral has tapped an ore shoot that samples 250 ounces silver to the ton.
 The Tuscumbia group of silver claims was worked at profit as far back as the early sos. The ore at that time mined was packed to mill on the backs of burros, the cost for mining, packing and milling being $50 per ton. Ore sampling as high as 600 ounces in silver was feature of that early-day mining. Nothing less than Sl00 rock was touched. A search of the records discloses the fact that the property yielded nearly half million dollars worth of bullion to the orig inal owners. At later period, lesees mined 5000 worth of ore within week Development work consists of series of tunnels, shaft and number of stopes in which high grade ore has been mined to grass roots.
 The Eclipse mine, although small i1 area-a single clainl-is another record-maker of former years that is in line for a protracted era of pros perity in this day of modern mining and milling appliances. It lies next to the Savoy group and is owned by the Luke brothers of Phoenix. In the late sos the Eclipse shipped about $lO0000 worth of orc. a considerable tonnage having a value as high as 1000 ounces in silver per ton. It was taken from parallel ledge to what is known as the Tiger Gold ledge. The ore disclosed in the workings is not alone rich in silver but in lead and zinc as well. It offers no treatment problem that cannot be solved by the oil Notation process. The extension of this rich ledge has been opened on the Bond property, where the same grade and character of ore Is exposed.
 To the north of the Tiger Gold es- tate, heretofore mentioned, IS the Bradshaw Fissure group. It carries the continuation of the Tiger Gold ledge and is one of the most promis- ing prospects in the Crown King belt. The ledge outcrops boldly and sam pies we'll at surface and nominal depth. Plans for the systematic de- velopment of the property are well advanced. From the Bradshaw Fis- sure group it is but short walk to
