TFLECRAMS FROM
FEUST AND PFOUTS

National Leasing stock made a re-
markable showing on the curb dur
ing the week, according to Rice's In
dustrial and Mining Age. Notwith-
standing the general adverse market
conditions the early part of the week,
and the fact that 123,150 shares of the
stock changed hands, the security re-
tanned its equilibrium, closing at eight
cents on Saturday, unchanged from
the previous weeks final.
National. Nevada, October 20.-The
drift on the 500-foot level is now 65
feet from the north boundary line of
National Leasing Company territory.
The drift is penetrating highly min
eralized country, which may make
high-grade ore any time. This makes
a total of ITS feet of work accom-
plished on the fifth level since Sep
tember II. At this rate of progress
the workings should reach the line by
the latter part of the month. The
work is being carried along the hang
ing-wall side of the vein, as the
ground stands up better.
The foregoing telegram was re-
ceived Saturday at the New York office
of the National Leasing Company from
Arthur Feust. consulting engineer.
who is making a visit of inspection
to the property in the National NE
doA tpfn ~ 10 PC
in Salt Lake City. Utah. Mr.. Feust's
message supplements the following
message, received on Friday from
Mine Superintendent Pfouts:
"The quartz in the face is the regu-
lar high-grade quartz, and the indi-
cations are that we may run into a
bunch OF high-grade ore with any
round of shots"
On Wednesday. superintendent
Pfouts wired that the fifth-level drift
was being extended at the rate OF five
feet a day. The working referred %
in the kilograms of Consulting Engi-
neer Feust and Superintendent Pfouts
is the fifth level of the famous Ma
tional mine, adjoining the National
Leasing territory Immediately on the
north. Assuming that the rate of
progress stated in Superintendent
Pfouts' first telegram liz being main
tanned, the face of the drift is now
about fifty feet from the north bound
airy line of the National Leasing Com
pany property.
The drift is following the same vein
which in the National mine produced
in the neighborhood OF sl0,000,000 in
high-grade gold ore. 1t is readily ap-
parent from the kilograms that highly
interesting conditions are being re-
vealed in the extension of the drift,
and II would not be surprising If the
drift should suddenly disclose ore OF
the same richness as made the Ma
tional mine famous as the greatest
producer of picture rock" in large
quantity in the annals OF mining.
