pany has been getting along SO we'll
with its surface preparations for COM
mencing the work of unwatering the
mines through the LOGAN shaft that
1. temporarily laid off a portion of its

UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED
Manager Torpey states that the
Uncle Sam Is working two shifts of
miners in the tunnel driving for the
ore bodies, which are estimated to be
within a distance of 100 feet. The
character of the ground is very fav-
orable for hand drilling and he ex-
poets to reach the objective point be-
fore 60 days. 81 am firmly convinced
our company's property will prove
one OF the best of this really wonder
full district. and with the personnel
hind it, there is no doubt but that it
will very shortly rank up with the
leaders of the district"
EUREKA-NEVADA
At the Eureka-Nevada mines on
Prospect mountain Superintendent
States says that the company has been
seriously handicapped by the drills
sent with the machinery being too
light for the hard rock in which the
tunnel is being driven. They now
have a Clipper drilling machine in
operation that is making five feet
every shift, and it is now expected to
strike the ore zone that was demon
strated in the upper tunnel within
the next 20 days.
EUREKA-CLIMAX
In the Climax property on Prospect
Mountain the tunnel being driven is
now in ore, apparently of amount and
value.

men have been ON the ground this
week and are most favorably i'm
pressed with the showing.
