GOOD ASSAYS OBTAINED FROM
OREBODY EXPOSED BY
LESSEES

Conditions in the Spearhead mine
tory and pay ore has been exposed in
encouraging quantity on two levels,
at points widely separated. On the
910-foot level, south of the main
shaft, the drift has been advancing
in a quartz zone of great extent and
showing a considerable quantity of
excellent mill-grade ore, assaying
from SO to $15 per ton in gold and
copper. The work at this point APP
pears to be within the shale con-
tact lone and the quartz is heavily
mineralized throughout the area
prospected on this level.
Connection has been made with
the old Wheeler lease shaft and
some ore of excellent grade has been
exposed in this work, some of the
ore yielding assaps up to $50 per
ton. To make this connection
drift was extended north from the
main shaft on the 4o0-foot level, to
a point west of the shaft, where a
cross-cut was driven east and a raise,
driven at a slight incline, was ex-
/ to the 250-foot level, where
short cross-cut made the connec-
tion with the old shaft
Ore of excellent shipping grade
was exposed in the work of the
wheeler lease, at the 250foot level,
and it is the intention of Superin-
tendent Bruce to explore this ground
in a thorough manner, to sink on the
ore, in order to determine it's dip
and pitch, and then to endeayor to
cut the ore-shoot on the 450-foot
level or between this depth and the
250-foot point.
Another drift is being advanced to
the north on the 910-foot level, in or
near the shale contact zone, and
good assays have also been obtained
in the progress of this work. Inter
est centers chiefly on the results of
the work south of the main shaft on
the 910-foot level and in the further
results of developing the Wheeler
orebody.
If the latter proves to measure up
to the hopes of the management, it
is probable that another deep work
ing shaft will be opened in this
part of the property. by raising from
below to the Wheeler shaft The
latter shaft was found to contain
some water, but all the workings
have now been successfully drained
and danger of any interruption from
this source has been eliminated

ATLANTA WINE IS
BEING SUNK
RAPIDLY
IMPORTANT RESULTS ARE r4A-
PECTED WITHIN A SHORT
TIME

Satisfactory progress is again be-
ing made in s.ahihig the deep winze
from the 175O-foot level of the At
lanta mine, with the powerful new
sinking pump handling the water
without difficulty The winze has
continued in quartz of good appear
ance, containing seams OF good ore,
from the point where it penetrated
the hanging wall of the west vein,
about so feet below the 1750-foot
level.
Sinking will continue without in
terruption to the 190O-foot point,
where a station and sump will be
completed as soon as possible and
a cross-cut will then be driven to
the east to explore the main vein.
Manager Darcy estimates that sta
ton and sump will have been COM
pleted and the cross-cut will be
making good headway toward the
vein before the end of the present
month. The equipment used in
sinking, including electric hosting
engine and electrically driven COM
pressor, is in the best of shape and
capable of making rapid progress.
Upon cutting the big vein at the
iy0O-foot level it is planned to
continue the cross-cut through the
vein, to the hanging wall, and then
tc drive raises for the purpose OF
exploring that part of the vein
which forms a junction with the
vest vein. Probably this junction
will be found, according to present
estimates, at a depth of about 1901
feet. 1t is at this point that there
are the greatest hopes of finding de-
posits of good size and value.
1t is pointed out that the best
ore yet exposed in the Atlanta mine
has been found on the 175O-foot
level, the deepest yet opened in the
mine, and that all indications point
to the presence of zone of higher
enrichment Immediately below this
level. Two or three shallow wines
were sunk from this level, when
further sinking was interrupted by
water, which could not be handled
tc good advantage owing to lack OF
pumping facilities in this part OF
the mine The wines also exposed
ore of excellent grade.
IT is now believed that stockhold-
ers of the Atlanta may with good
reason look forward to develop
nents of the first Importance with
in the next so days at the outside.
The possibility of enrichment in the
shale contact zone west of the main
vein and to be penetrated shortly,
has also been taken into account in
carrying on the present work OF
opening the mine at depth.

ReOrganized Kewanas

Improved ventilation of the mine
workings, resulting from the con-
nection of the main south drift on
the 840-foot level of the Kewanas
with the northern workings of the
Jumbo Junior, will enable Manager
Darcy to proceed at once with plans
for more extensive development in
this territory. The southeast cross
cut will be rushed forward beyond
the hanging wall of the great vein
and raises will be driven from both
drift and cross-cut to explore all
parts of the ore-channel. Many
seams of good ore have been found
in the progress of this work and the

month of October, just issued by
Manager Hutchinson, shows that the
company is now treating large ton

good profit is being obtained. Leas-
ing operations are yielding sub

and to the company. Net profits in

Atlanta Mines Company
With it's new high-power sinking
pump in operation, the Atlanta COM
pany is now making rapid headway
in sinking it's deep winze from the

the management that before the end
Of the current month a station and
sump will have been completed at
the 1900-foot level and a cross-cut
will be progressing to the east to
cut the main vein. Since it pene-
trated the hanging wall of the west

1750-foot level, the winze has CON
tinued in quartz of good appearance,
containing many seams of ore yield

GREAT STATE FAIR
DESPITE THE WAR
Event This Ycnr Expected to Attract
Biggest Crowd Ever in State Capt..
tai. Soldiers to Bring Whom.

Columbia, Sept. 29-iDcspitc de-
moralized conditions incident to the
war, the State Fair promises to be
largely attended next month. Camp
Jackson, with its thousands of SOL
diers, will bring many fathers and
mothers to the State Capital, taking
advantage OF the gala occasion to get
n first view Of the soldier city. The
fair begins October % and before that
date $4,000 white "boys" will have
modified and this feature alone
should bring a record crowd to the
state Fair.
The fair management is now busy
assigning reservations for exhibit
booths. The agricultural exhibition
will be Il wonderful display this year.
Crops Of all kinds have been giving re-
markablc yields in all sections of the
state and the farm extension forces Of
Clemson College, with their county
demonstration agents, will again be a
large factor in making crcditabc en-
hibits. The cattle and hog shows are
to exceed any previous collections, be-
cause OF the intense interest in cattle
and stock raising and the campaign
to raise more food" Many large
purses arc also to be offered for rae
ing events.
The athletic games this year arc
again being emphasized. The Clcm-
SOn-Carolina classic will be played as
usual on Thursday, which event al
ways brings to Columbia hundreds Of
