greatest confidence is maintained by
those identified with the company
that continual development here will
result in exposing ~orebodies of
great value. Work is to be resum-
ed shartly in the northern part of
the property, where ore has been
found in good quantity 500 feet
north of the main station.
Jumbo Extension
The winze that has been follow
ing down on the flat dip of the
main Jumbo vein was interrupted
last week by the breaking of the
hoist, but another hoist has been in
stalled and sinking will proceed
rapidly. Another drift will be ex-
tended north from the Wine with

sion of the main oreshoot at no
great distance. The Copper Noun
tain property is shipping ore aver
aging nine per cent copper and is

good concentrating ore, averaging
from three to six per cent copper.

a discovery of more than ordin-
airy interest has been made during
the week in sinking a winze from
the SS0-foot level of the Jumbo
Junior, following the incline of the
vein and within company ground.
Assays have been running as high
at $3.50 per ton in gold, silver and
copper and it is regarded as pro-
Liable that ore can now be saved
for shipment, as some already is
being hoisted for that purpose. The
find is regarded as the most i'm
po-tant that has been made in
Jumbo Junior ground.
Great Bend Mine
Ore of good grade for shipping is
being broken in the raise that has
been driven from the ,3OO-foot level
to connect with the 16O-foot level,
following up the Ore-shoot from
Which a good tonnage has been
taken for shipment in the main
stCpe. The best ore was found a
short distance below the upper level,
at a point where the vein was slight
ly displaced by a ross fault. Near
the east end of the property the
drift on the 30O-foot level is about
to connect with the old Lockhart
lease shaft.
Red Hill Florence
Satisfactory results have attend
ed the recent work on and above the
5O0-foot level, where drifts are be-
ing extended far to the north and
south and two cross veins are be-
ing explored by means of raises.
at the north a drift is now nearing
the point where it is hoped to pick
up the extension of a rich orebody
that was mined by lessees on the
adjoining Florence property and
where the ore vas extracted flush
up to the boundary line of the Red
Hill; Florence property.
Cracker Jack
New work that is likely to bear
valuable fruit is being pressed rapid
ly at two points on the 320-foot
level, $40 and $40 feet east of the
h.ain shaft. At these points two
large veins were cut by the main
east cross-cut, which has beer ad-
vanced over 100 feet. Drifts on
these veins already are showing
quartz of excellent appearance and
yielding encouraging assays in gold,
silver and copper. Recent work has
solved some perplexing fault pro-
biems and prospects of success r
regarded as bright.
S~pearhead Gold
Ore of commercial grade is now
in sight in the S~pearhead on the
ESQ and 91O-foot levels. At the
250-foot point a raise from the $50
level has connected with the old
Wheeler lease shaft, in which ore
Of high grade was found several
years ago and where high assays
have been obtained in recent worn.
Large bodies of good mill ore are
ir sight on the go level.
