MERGER STARTS
new CR0SScU7

Yesterday driving of crosscut
from the 910-foot level of the
Spearhead was started toward the
Merger line, 80 feet distant, UNI
der the agreement recently made
by the companies permitting the
exploration of Merger grornd
through the Spearhead shaft. lt
is estimated that at distance of
100 feet from the boundary line
this crosscut will intersect the
vein at the shale-latite contact, ac-
cording to Manager A. I. Darcy.

EAST DIVIDE SINKING

The shaft of the East Divide has
reached a depth of 220 feet and
for short distance the wall Of the
vein trending north has been ex-
posed. The vein showing in the
shaft is not the one the shaft is
being sunk to explore and in which
1t is expected to find ore at a
depth of 400 feet. At the 400-foot
point a crosscut will be driven to
the vein trending west through the
East Divide ground, which is esti-
mated to be 70 feet from the shaft.

HIGH ASSAYS
IN BLUE BULL

Seams of ore assaying as high as
s119 per ton are being obtained
in a drift from the main crosscut
toward the north boundary line of
the Pig claim of the Blue Bull.
The main ore-shoot, while estimat-
ed to be close to the face of the
drift, has not yet been entered.
The first assay secured gave re-
turns of $33, the second $95, the
third $119 and the last $1S5,
showing the value of the seams to
increase rapidly as the drift Is
driven toward the ore-shoot.

The north drift on the 500-foot
level of the Mayflower has been ad-
vanced a total of ia feet, accord
ing to the last To-day report issued
by Manager J. B. Kendall, who

yielding only low assay returns. No.
400 drift has been advanced a total
of 35 feet in ore averaging $6S.40
per ton. The main north drift on
this level was advanced an addition

MATERIAL
FOUND IN SILVER PICK

A decided improvement in con-
ditiOns on the 135O-foot level of
the Silver Pick was reported today
by Manager G. F. Dyer, the cross
cut on that level opening a seam
of heavily mineralized material at
a distance of 120 feet from the

DEAL FOR SALE OF FLORENCE GOLDF|ELD CLOSED

able for the extraction of milling
ore on a large scale, as is planned
by the Development company in
the Combination mine. Another,
practically assured, according to
reports, is the sinking to the shale
latte contact of the 120O-foot
shaft and exploration of the con-
tact zone.
Following shortly after the TAX
ing over by the Development COM
pany of the Consolidated under a
long-term lease, the Florence sale
adds greatly to the confidence of
mining men in the future of the
district and assures that the pos
sibilities OF the two largest pro-
ducers will be developed fully.
The remarkable showing of
high-grade ore in the Witt-Bran-
don-Taylor-Mechlin lease on the
Florence continues to increase in
size and richness with additional
development and the seam of pic
ture rock" in the Riley ore-shoot
has been exposed for a length of
so feet on the 400-foot level, vary
ing in width from six to Is inches.
Connection has been made be-
tween where this seam was opened
in a drift and the long raise from
Little Florence lease level a
short distance above the 530-foot
level of the Florence, permitting
air to enter the workings from the
top of the raise, in which condi-
tions had been so poor that driving
toward the drift was almost impos-
sible. The vein trends north and
south and dips sharply to the
east, the Red Hill working at a
depth of 600 feet and to the south
in what is believed to be the same
vein and the Cracker Jack work
ing in the same vein short dis
tance above where 1t leaves the
witt Brandon Taylor Mechlin
ground on the 350-foot level lev
ell. The Cracker Jack also is cross
cutting toward the vein on the
3O0-foot level. Dell Hammond
also is interested with c. w. Tay-
lor in the lease, which is consoli-
dation of the Witt-Brandon and
Taylor-Mechlin leases.
To date the Florence mine has
produced over $7,OOO,OO0. 1t went
into the hands of receiver on
Nov. 23, 1915, and from then un-
til early in October, 1918, was OPP
Grated by lessees, producing dur
ing this period about $225,OOO
gross, according to records, the
sale of machinery during this per-
iod, coming principally from the
burned mill, adding from $4,000
to $4,000 to the receipts.

Four feet of ore assaying $40 is ex-
posed in this drift. The raise
from 400 drift was advanced an
additional nine feet. Four feet Of
ore asaying SIS is exposed in this
raise.
Three crosscuts on the third lev
ell, Nos. 312, 314 and 315, are be-
ing continued in ore assaying from
$S to SIS and No. sos crosscut is be-
ing advanced in noncommercial ore.
No. 203 drift, on the second level,
was advanced an additional 80
feet, showing full face of ore as
saying SIS on the date Of the re-
port. No. 204 crosscut has been
discontinued.
No. 205 raise, being extended
from a point 130 feet north of the
face of the drift, was advanced an
additional 20 feet in non-commercial
