nav them a small profit TO ship. 1t is
said that the shoot in which they are
working is quite an extensive one,
and that its values are holding
up well.
Sasse and Wolfe are still working
away on their tungsten proposition,
and have accumulated some very
high grade stuff which they will prob
ably arrange TO ship in a week. This
is one OF the tungsten propositions
from which the richest ore in the
Hills has been taken, and the boys
have already several carloads ready
for shipment did the price at present
warrant.
On the Wiswell ground the deve-
lopment work which has been done
has exposed some excellent ore in q
very extensive shoot, the values Of
which will Civ good returns should
shipment be made Mr. Wiswell al
present is engaged in doing his an
nual assessment work, but this work
is also giving his property further
development
Martin Brensahan is working away
on his tungsten proposition, but i
also paying attention to the gold ores
in his property This property, whilo
it has on it a good showing Of tung-
sten bearing ores, is well known
for the high grade gold ores which i,
contains, and its owner is hoping that
he viii have it in such a state OF
development soon 50 that these ores
can be made available for milling or
shipment
F. y. Hanson is doing a great deal
OF development on the Buffalo group
and the other groups in which he
holds the controlling interest, and
has opened up some excellent gold
ore bodies, as we'll as making very
good showing OF tungsten ores on the
Buffalo claim. He has quite a force
Of men engaged in developing his
ground which Is looked upon as be
ing among the best in the district. He
Is having the work done in a systema-
tic manner, and is giving his ground
such development that its ore bodies
will be in shape to supply material
to treatment plant should il be de-
clded TO erect one during the coming
year.
F. w Bird on the Gilt Edge, has
small force of men engaged in lower
ing the old shaft in which work was
started last summer, and is making
good progress. This work is being
done to give access to the main ore
body in the property at lower level
than it has formerly been worked II
is believed that this work is but the
forrunner of operations in the milling
plant, one of the best in the coun-
try, which is one the property.
William Smart has been engaged
for sometime operating churn
drill on his ground and thoroughly
prospecting il. It Is nnderst 0od that
he has struck SINE very good ore in
some Of the holes whbGf9 v lhf9ar RRlKf R@RlKf beer been
operations 10 open up one of the
ore bodies which Is known 70 exist on
the ground.
Berg and associates are doing
their annual assessment work and
are working in ore of good grade.
William Lowe, on his Washingto
group, has a force OF men at work de-
veloping an extensive shoot OF ore OF
excellent grade, and will continue the
work during the winter. He has a
splendid proposition, and one which
mining men believe is going to prove
to be one of the most productive in
the Hills.
Robert Zipp has been busy driving
drainage tunnel in his property for
several months past AMI will soon
have this work finished, which will
give him an opportunity to open I'D
his property to a much lower level
than at present. One OF the largest
ore bodies in the district IS located
on this property. and all OF it carries
values better than the avei age low
grade ores being treated n the
country. After he has finished work
on his drainage tunnel he will put
his men at work doing the annual
assessment on two unpatented claims
which he owns adjoining his patent
ed ground.
Other property owners in the dist
rict have started on their annual
assessment work, and at the present
time there are many people at work
there, so it is pretty lively place.
