MAJESTIC MINING Co.
HAS PROMISING VEIN
PREPARING TO RESUME WORK
IN SPRING-ANNuAL RE-
PORT OF MANAGER.

James Dunno of Burke, president
and manager of the Majestic Mining
company, has made a report OF oper-
ations during the past year WhicA
much encouragement to the
stockholders of that company. II
now appears that the main Majestic
vein has been definitely located at a
point about 500 feet from the portal
of the tunnel and at depth of APP
400 feet from the surface.
The vein Is described as feet wide,
with quartz and lead carbonate ore
distributed throughout. with higher
lead values in the feet next to the
foot wall. Work has been suspended
for the winter, but between this tine
and spring the management expects
to complete financial arrangements
through the sale of treasury stock
that will insure rapid and extensive
development. The Majestic company
owns Is patented claims northeast Of
Burke, extending along the course of
the vein the length of four claims or
5000 feet. Joining the group on the
south are the Ajax and International,
and on the west is the Washington.
The Majestic company has new and
comfortable buildings and Is well
equipped for development.
Report to Directors.
The report of Manager Dunno fol-
lows:
referring to my last report to the
board of directors, dated February IL,
1918, in which stated that the show
ing in the crosscut driven in a north
easterly direction about 500 feet from
the portal of the tunnel on our prop
erty, which said crosscut had been at
that time extended for about n feet
justified further development, I beg to
advise you as follows:
1--WE resumed work on this cresscul
on March Is. 1918, and work has beer
continuously performed on our prop
erty UP to and including November
&c. 1918. The crosscut hereinbefort
mentioned was extended for a tota
distance of about 211 feet, 1874 feet Of
work on this crosscut being perform.
ed this year and about s feet of work
being performed on a parallel weir
| 4 -,
which will hereafter be described
1.-THE vein in the 211-foot crosscu
would squeeze in and out as worl
progressed so that at times 1t would
be four feet wide and then agar
would narrow down to foot II
places until it finally pinched out af
ter 211 feet had been run on 1t. Tht
rock in this crosscut was exceedingly
hard and only very slow progress:
could be made,
"As work was about to be discOn
and started on another vein which
was suddenly discovered after picking
down a slab of rock. This vein i!
located alongside of the other veir
mentioned above, and when first fount
was only about six inches wide. AT
ter only about feet of work ha(
been performed on it, the vein broad
ened out to 9 feet at the time we dis
continued work and this vein is min
eralized throughout being filled witt
lead carbonates and quartz. The veir
strikes in westerly and easterly di
rection, pitches south and rake!
northeast.
About two feet of this vein seems
to be more in place than the rest o.
it and carries better values. The veir
is we'll defined and the ground break:
more easily than in the other vein, sc
that better progress can be made as
soon as work can be resumed. We
feel confident that this vein as ex,
posed Is the main vein of the Majestic
property and that the other vein in
the 2l1-foot crosscut was q feeder tC
this one. For the small amount OF
work performed on this vein at this
time the geological conditions now
are very promising that we will make
mine and / am very anxious to see
further development work performed
at this point at the earliest possible
date.
"The cost of the labor for the work
performed for 1918 is approximately
$2666, the cost of the supplies
amounted to about s424 and the cost
of the state accident insurance re-
quired by the laws of the state OF
Idaho for the labor performed this
year is $175."
