the reduction plant of the Silver
mines Corporation and from the
first of the year the Orleans will
send 25 tons daily to the e mill,
| only a few hundred yards distant.
This will effect an important saw
ing in hauling and freight charges,
and the ore, like that of the Silver
mines and other properties in the
district, is free-milling and is read
lily treated by c~yanidation.
Large bodies of excellent mill
ore have been opened on various lev
els and work is in progress now at a
depth of SIS feet, where sulphide
ore has been exposed. Ore now in
sight, blocked out in the mine and
on the mill dump, is estimated to
be worth far more than the total
production to date and development
work is constantly adding in large
measure to the available reserves.
The Orleans company owns five
claims and ]. w. Dunfee is presi-
dent and general manager.
Two of the principal veins of the
district traverse the Orleans prop
erty. The main workings are chief
ly in what is known as the Orleans
vein, which is traced for a long dis
lance and in which large bodies of
oro of b;ob oyoraoo orodo hova Ipan
exposed. This vein has been open
ed in leasing operations at a con-
siderable distance west of the main
workings and is shown to be of great
size and highly mineralized through
out the areas prospected. The Hard
wick lease had been sending some
ore of good grade to the new mill
and a profitable output is expected
shortly from other lease workings
on the property. The Orleans prop
erty offers assurance of further sub
stantial earnings for it's owners
Silver King Mining Co.
A reorganization of the Silver
King company has been effected re-
Gently with A. H. Elftman president
and general manager of the e cor
poration, and the property, which is
regarded as one of the most valuable
in the Hornsilver district, is to be
developed on a comprehensive scale
and placed upon a producing basis
in the near future. The mine has
produced shipping ore to the value
of approximately $4,000 and it is
estimated to have in sight some
5000 tons of high-grade milling ore,
assaying from $12 to $50 per ton
in silver and gold. There are sew
eral shafts on the property, ranging
in depth from GO to 200 feet, and a
work has been done near the surface
and on various levels from the deep
er shafts.
The property is situated in the
heart of the Hornsilver district, ad-
joining the Silvermines ground on
the west, and is traversed through
out it's length by TWO of the big
veins of the district, known as the
Silver King and Red Top veins, both
of which have been found to contain
large bodies of good mill ore. The
ore thus far exposed at a number
of places on the property, it is point
ed out by Manager Elftman, repre-
sents the result of preliminary pros
pecting, and no attempt has been
made to block out ore reserves.
All indications support the belief
that with further development work
a large tonnage of excellent milling
ore will be made available for treat
ment under the company's arrange
ment with the Silvermines corpora
ton.
Satisfactory treatment rates fixed
by the mill management will enable
the Silver King company to realize a
good profit from the ore now eX-
posed In It's mine n arrangements
have been made to begin shipping
ore to the mill at once. With de-
velopment work being extended in
the ore-bearing zones there is no
doubt, in the opinion of officials of
the company, that a continuous pro
duction of highly profitable ore a
be made. Two or three of the 2tal-
lower prospect shafts on the property
have made an excellent showing OF
mill ore, while on the deeper levels
OF the main shaft there is evidence
of the presence of large deposits Of
ore of better than the ordinary mill
ing product.
