IN HISTORY OF MINE

While drifting on the 400 level an

cred. 1t is impossible to tell how
large the ore body is until further
development. The drift is being
driven ahead five by seven feet all
10 solid ore, and a crosscut driven 45
feet still shows ore the full length.
top, sides and bottom.
Work of stopping has commenced
and it is expected from the size of
the ore body now that square sets
Will be necessary in taking out this
ore. This undoubtedly is the most
important strike made in Eureka
district since the discovery of the
Ruby Hill mines, and certainly proves
that there is an enormous quantity
OF high grade ore at greater depth.
With this new strike there are now
seven ore bodies on the 400 level, all
OF which are producing high grade
shipping ore. Raises will be driven
at once to the bottom of the old Dun
derberg from the 400 for ventilation,
and as soon as connections are made
three shifts will be put on stopping
ore from this level.
The big winze from the 400 foot
level continues in high grade ore
and is now DOWN. 80 feet. Assays from
this Wine average SLOT per ton.
Two shifts will be placed on this ore
body as soon as the new electric
plant is completed. which will be in
a few days.
On the 200 foot level two more
strikes have been made this week,
both of great Importance. The north
drift on this level encountered q
vein of ore four feet wide assaying
SIP per ton in gold and silver.
This is in virgin ground and is about
Is feet above the lowest workings of
the old Dunderburg. 1t is a body
of ore that the old company was
evidently looking for, but before
getting far enough along to tap this
ore on its dip. they suspended oper-
alton and this company has been
fortunate enough to run into it.
In the west drift on this level there
has been a very important strike.
While driving ahead with the main
drift a large cave was encountered
and sinking vas at once commenced.
Before going down five feet be-
low the cave. ore of a very high
was found. Assays from this
body run three and one-half ounces
gold, ITO ounces silver. and IL per
cent lead. The drift at this point
has now opened up 80 feet of ore
running better than $35 per ton, but
as there is so much high grade show
ing. the company has decided to fol-
low and develop it as much as pos
sible in order to keep the teams haul
ing steady as soon as the ore bins are
completed, the work of which is be-
ing pushed with all possible speed.
