The season at this altitude. contin-

snort, although in short growing sea-
son the plants mature more quickly
ana while there are many crops that
should not be attempted, vet there are
many good crops which could be prof
tably grown. Neither did he expect
Ihat these crops would require a great
1eal OF irrigation. as this valley is one
ot the Few places where dry farming

our years In maturing crops. NJ l.
Lee, II Is understood. has succeeded in
raising between twenty-five and thirty
eight bushels of grain to the acre. The
precipitation in that part of the valley
is around seventeen inches and this
helps the crops materially especially
when compared 10 the two and a half
inches Of rainfall at Indian Springs.
Regarding the agricultural program

exposed over a length of 200 feet, in
which he has found good ore. From
an open cut that uncovers the ore for a
distance of twenty feet samples have
been taken which assayed ,.O9 ounce

High-Grade Ore Uncovered In Zero Mine
At the Zero lease Carter Hames has

AT the zero lease carter HameS mas
cleaned out the caved Zero tunnel for
a distance of 200 feet, giving access to
a good looking body of iron ore in
which are found some high-grade ga
lena and carbonate streaks. In the
winze IT'S feet from the portal of the
tunnel he has opened up a four to
eight inch vein of high grade in the
iron body of ore which he has traced
to the back of the tunnel above and on
which he is raising. In the raise the
ore is scattered throughout the iron
vein and all the material broken is
| being saved for sampling. Twenty
| five feet farther in Mr.. Hames Is rails
| ing on streak of high-grade ore
| which has already netted him two tons
| of sparkling material and which Is now
on the platform on the dump ready for
| shipment.
| There are many interesting expos
ures in this old tunnel, but the miner
is contining his work to the more &C.
cessible portions of the big vein.
NO, | am not going to put the Salt
Lake road out of business by over
loading it," laughed Mr.. Hames, and,
in fact, there is nothing certain about
even a single shipment. l am simply
looking through the old workings in
the hope of finding some ore which,
with the higher silver prices, may now
be shipped profitably, but l am, OF
course, much pleased with finding the
small streaks of high grade, and I am
taking these out with the hope that
they may lead into something worth
while"

face and only attained a depth OF
about eight feet when me ore was
