True Fissure Vein in Prop
erty Engineering Work
on Which Has Been Di-
rected by Raymond Guyer
SHOWN TO BE THE
> NAY AUG EXTENSION
Work to Be Prosecuted,
Soon as Supplies Can Be
Taken in, on East Drift to
Cut First Ore Chute 125
Feet From Present Face
of Tunnel.

the nrst section or the development
work on the Silver Lead Mining COM
pany's property, 10 miles northwest of
HALEY, has been a success. j. j. Ba-
ker, a well known Wood River miner,
was given a contract in October to ex-
tend the tunnel 20S feet.
He has encountered the ledge, which
is true fissure and unquestionably
the main ledge of the famous Nay Aug
mine, of which the Silver Lead prop
erty is an extension.
DIRECTED BY GUYER.
The second section of the work will
be driving east on the ledge about 1875
feet, at which point the first ore chute
will be encountered.
The engineering work has been di-
rected by Raymond Guyer, the well
known mining engineer who has just
! purchased the Nay Aug mine. This
| purchase by Mr. Guyer, puts him in
control of one of the best known mir
ing properties of the Wood River dis
trict and his property, coupled with the
| holdings OF the Silver Lead company
form an association of mining claims
that is, in the judgment of mining en-
gineers and experienced miners, to be
one of the most promising group of
mining claims in that section of the
country.
The second section Of work in the
Silver Lead group will be pushed Wig
orously as soon as the roads will per-
NIT the intaking of the necessary sup
plies.
GuYER AND THE REX.
Last July Mr.. Guyer, associated with
York, purchased a minority interest in
the Rex Consolidated in the Occur
d'Alenes, Mr.. Guyor becoming director
and engineer CT the property. Since
that time 100000 has been expended
in development and construction work,
which has been rapidly pushed and a
mine which was considered by the
mining men of the Occur dAlenes a
failure has been brought to a success
full point of production and is now a
dividend payer.
| At least two years of ore reserves
are now in evidence and the company
is pushing development work of new
ground on lower levels. 1t is confident
ly expected that the success obtained
by the Whicher group. which is their
first venture in Idaho, will be tho
means Of interesting their friends in
taking up other properties in this state.
PURCHASE OF NAY AUG.
The purchase of the old time produc-
ing mine the Nay Aug, in the famous
Wood River district, by Mr.. Guyer,
who has a line of successes to his
credit, not only in the United states
but in South America, is compliment
to the Wood River district and, at this
time, has much Significance. AS the
Silver Lead property is a continuation
of the Nay Aug, the Silver Lead COM
Pany feels that it is fortunate in hav-
ing a mining engineer of Mr.. Guyer's
experience to direct it's development.
ON SCIENTIFIC LINES.
Major Reed, manager of the Silver
Lead company, says that all Of the new
mining developments on Wood River
are now being done on scientific and
business principles which will increase
the percentage of paying mines very
materially. The Silver Lead company
owns 1t property and has sufficient
treasury stock to fully develop and
equip its mine. While II cannot be
called a mine yet, it is certainly most
promising prospect.
