surface prospecting done. This will
be inaugurated at once under the
direction Of Tom Ward, who is one
of the original owner.
Through his long connection with
the firm OF Bewick, Moreing e Co.,
1t is thought by many that Mr.. Lor-
ing is an Englishman, but his boy
hood was spent at Angels Camp,
Cal. 1t is said that his first great
success was as a millman, but he
is now better known as a mine
manager and is making a great
success of mines in the camp where
he lived as a boy, as well as else
where.
Excavating for the mill of the
Jose-Davis Mining and Milling COM
pany will be completed this week
and the concrete foundation will
then be laid, after which the ma
chinery will be put in place. Owing
to the fact that the water developed
is quite warm, there will be no diff
ficulty in keeping the mill running
steadily in the coolest weather,
though the winters in this section
are not usually v enough to
bother much on that score In the
tunnel on the company's lease on
the Sheepherder the full face is in
ore, and it is all of good grade.
Congressman Roberts, president of
the Jose-Davis. New Willard and
Willard Metals companies, is ex-
pected here this week to note pro-
gress and to confer with Manager
Beauchamp. The tunnel on the New
Willard has cut through the big
dixie and is just entering the first
of the five veins which it will inter-
sect.
There are many interesting ex-
posures in the different workings
on the Loring Treasure Hill ground
which gives much promise under
further development. What is
known as the West vein strikes Is
degrees north of east, averages
seven feet in width and the whole
vein would pay to mill without sort
ing. In addition to surface work
ings there is a tunnel on it which is
now in 100 feet. At 65 feet In,
a rich streak was struck, on which
a raise was put up to the surface.
Some of the ore taken from this was
full of free gold and among the
richest found in the camp. The
vein was cut off by q dixie at about
80 feet in the tunnel, but it is ex-
pected to pick 1t up again within
30 feet, as it has been found on
the surface the other side of this
dixie. Where picked up on the sur
face the vein is four feet wide, and
assays from three different samples
of the sorted ore went SIS, $SS and
$133 to the ton.
The Tennessee claims. owned by
Tom Jewett and operated under
bond and lease by w. H. Shewan,
have two main veins, n of which
is being developed by a tunnel. AS
is usual with the bigger veins of the
Loring district the values In these
are principally in gold. but there is
a cross vein tying the two which
carries silver alone. This o vein
is four feet in width and assays so
far have run as high as GO ounces.
The main veins cross the east end OF
the Sheepherder and run into
ground of the Jose-Davis company.
On jim Gardeners Prospector's
Dream claim, which is under lease
to Davies, GARNER and Robar, the
shaft is down IL feet on what is
believed to be the extension of the
Sheepherder vein, which is produc-
ing much rich ore in the Jose-Davis
lease. There is now four feet OF
vein matter showing in the bottom
The vein not only widens as depth is
gained, but paintings indicate much
richer ore.
