 0F TANK PASS REGION

SALOME, Sept. S.-The Tank Pass district near Salome is a veritable net work Of veins and dikes. system oi parallel diahase dilles cutting the main Harclvar mountain range for miles, many of the dilIes being from ten to hundred or more feet in thickness and most of them being accompanied bY quartz, spar and iron lodges and cut by numerous cross lodges. In scores of places along these dikes where the lodges have been dug into. the quartz and iron croppings quickly show signs of high grade copper ores. carrying good gold and silver values also. running from few dollars to several hundred in addition to the copper content The district is new yet comparatively lit tie development work having been done except on the Cobrita property where shipping ore was encountered almost from the start and where high grade sulphide ores of q per manent character have now been open ed uD at a comparatively shallow depth. The main dike system seems to center m a belt about three by five miles square. best reached through Tank Pass. heretofore impossible hut now having good auto road built by the Cohrita Company. which makes it all easily accessible from Salome in 1 less than n hours ride.
 Engineers from the Copper Queen and other prominent mining compan- | ies have been examining the field in | the last few days and it is rumored that several big deals are TOW being | figured on.
 The climax of the numerous strikes made during the past few ponths is the opening up this week of an ore shoot of high grade milling ore in the main big ledge at the famous old l Glory Hole. which has lain idle and undeveloped ever since it's spectacular discovery several years ago, when something like $50 GOO or more in high grade iewelrv ore was taken out in less than a week from a little put at the foot of an immense quartz spar and iron cropping. sirce which time no development has been done on account of internal dissensions and other troubles, until the Glory Hole bRonanZa Mines Company was organ ized recently and after acquiring the property started prospecting the main ledge.
 During the past two weeks numer- ous assays have been made running from a few dollars to several hundred and by following these up the gold has been found in the main ledge q above the Glory Hole a three-fOot streak of high grade milling or ship ping ore having been opened up the first of the week. all of which runs
 high in free gold some of it from the bug holes'' and cavities going better than thousand dollars ton ac-
 cording to the men working there while the general average is thought
 to he over a hundred dollars. The
 shoot was discovered by trenchine and banning and is in the footwall ol 2 the immense ledge about a hundred
 feet above the old Glory Hole pit
 just below big saddle or anticline
 In some places the main ledge crops
 for a width of over a hundred fee and the value of this new find car
 barely be estimated yet. or it's siz'
 until the workings cut the entif' width of the ledge
 The main importance of the find i
 the fact that high grade ore has beer
 opened up in the main big quart
 ledge and that the company now ha
 something definite and in place t
 follow up. While the ore just foun' is not of tho spectacular half gol'
 variety found just below the mail
 ledge, it is of a permanent characte
 ard much above the average mlllln
 grade and probably about a third o . ' those in charge of the work are con = fident in their belief that this or
 shoot will soon lead to a body of tn ! real S100 pound high grade Whic : startled the mining world when tn
 original discovery was made.
 Mining engineers and geologis'
 who have examined the property re !. cently state that the Glory Hole V not freak at all. as many who hay t never seen it have imagined, but O = the contrary is one of the bigge:
 saddle reef or anticlinal enrichment
