tual conditions and prospects of the
ouoted issue is to be seen, than in
the present price of Croesus stock
and the real showing In the mine. At
no time in its history has there been
a. much ore In sight underground,
with a constant daily extraction of
shipping ore as high In gold and sill
yer contents. as there is at the pres
ent time. To-day another car was
shipped, making a total of $50 tons
in 80 days, and there is every indica-
ton of the present ore bodies contin-
ming. The best feature of their oc-
currence is that the crushed lime
stone in which they are found Is most
" virgin ground, and the ore can be
followed upward for a height of two
to four hundred feet. Moreover, the
drifts are advancing in the same
crushed material and opening new
lenses and bodies, any one of which
may develop into a mass similar to
some of those found in early days in
the same claims, from which thous-
ands of tons of highly profitable ore
we're obtained before the casing of
the deposit was reached.
RUBY HILL DEVELOPMENT co.
The Ruby Hill mines have finished
erecting the station pump on the 900
level, the sinker is hung in the shaft
at the present water level. the water
column and steam line is ready, and
when a few minor connections are
made. the dewatering OF the shaft
will begin. This will be some day
next week. II is believed that the
present station pump will handle all
the water from the 900 to the 1900
level, and a station pump OF similar
capacity to the present one will be
placed there, and another sinker in
the shaft. IL the flow of water is
heavy enough to require them. These
pumps are now ready to be lowered IL
it is found necessary. and but few
days delay of operations will result.
Shipping of ore is held back by
lack of cars, and all that can be Sc
cured are loaded from the bins as
fast as received. The extension OF
the northwest drift on the 800 foot
level of the LOGAN shaft has cut
through a big body of ore that lies
on top OF the quartzite which will be
mined by square setting.
EUREKA KING
The Eureka tunnel winze is still in
shipping ore, and the drift from the
bottom is now in 80 feet, with ore OF
garying width the entire distance.
This drift will be extended as long as
he present showing continues before
any raising or sinking is done, as
he ore coming from the drift alone
IS much more than paying the ex-
penses of the work.
The Prospect Mountain tunnel is
Advancing daily, and when the pres
snt contract is completed, will be re-
so that the surface geology
md underground developments may
De accurately correlated before es-
the course of two laterals
hat will start from the main tunnel |
owards claims not reached by the |
PRESENT adit. The lime shale is still |
present in the breast of the workings. |
JNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED
The drift In the Uncle Sam Consol-
dated has been extended over 200 |
eet since the present owners took |
and Is now in the crushed |
limestone of the ore zone beyond the
'orphyry intrusion, with strong min
radiation in places that gives assur-
nee of nearby ore bodies. Good |
'rogress is being made in this drift. |
Manager Torpey reports. and every
hing looks very favorable.
EUREKA-CLIMAX
Raising and drifting on a north
'outh fault near the face of the tun-
lel is now in progress. This fissure |
s dipping about As degrees north
last, is well defined and mineralized,
md followed on its course south, will, |
IN l70 feet, be Immediately below |
he old Dead Broke workings at a |
lurther depth of $50 feet.
EUREKA-PRINCE
The weeks developments are en-
trely satisfactory, and the same fav-
orable conditions of ore. both in size |
and richness, still continues. Fifty |
IONS of 500 lead-silver-gold sand |
earbonates is now sacked and will be |
sent to Salt Lake as soon as cars can
be procured.
Holly is shipping ore regularly and
returns are said to be greater than
ler former shipments.
RCLLWHACKER
The Bullwhacker drift from the |
molly is going ahead steadily, and
upon its completion other develop
aent work will be inaugurated.
