The showing Of ore in No. s winze
"a good, and the winze has now been
mnk 10 feet in a fine grade of ship
ming ore. 1t has maintained an aver
age width OF three and one half feet,
and is stronger at the bottom than
aver. A further depth of twenty feet
will be made before drifting on the
body begins. The ore In the shale
raise is looking we'll, and fifty tons
we're sent to the smelter this week.
EUREkA-PRINCE
The results OF a thorough examin-
alton of the workings on the group,
and sampling of these and all the
dumps, showed SO conclusively that
the need OF a mill to treat the entire
product was necessary to economical
ly mine even the high grade ores,
that the mine was closed this week
until machinery for mining on a large
scale can be installed on the proper
ty. The hoist, compressor, and 9TH
er equipment for shaft work, will be
assembled soon, and sinking to a
depth OF five hundred feet will be
started in a short time; and the
management also states that q cya-
nide plant will be erected In the
Spring. by which time the new shaft
will be ready to furnish the requisite
daily tonnage of ore.
While the Eureka-Prince has guam
titles of high grade ore that for years
have been sent to the smelter, 1t is
practically as expensive to separate
this from the lower grade ores, as IT
would be to carry a stope five feet
vide and take out the entire mineral
ned portion of the fissure. The gen.
Gal average OF the five feet In width
will assure a very profitable cyanid-
Ing product, and eventually result in
greatly reducing the cost OF operat-
ing.
EUREKA-HOLLY
W. A. Barnes, vice president of the
Eureka-Holly Mining Company. was
an arrival from San Francisco We'd
nesday on business visit. He is re-
ported to have been highly pleased
with the steady development work
and splendid ore showings. 1t is un-
derstood plans are made for sinking
the main shaft from the 430 foot
level to q depth OF 500 feet
UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED
During the past week General
Manager Torpey and Superintendent
State have made a complete resurvey
OF the workings of the property and
have arrived at definite plans for flu
ture development and preparations
for taking out ore and shipping dur
ing the Winter months.
Work is progressing on two paral-
lei ore runs which are about 100 feet
apart. Both drifts are looking splen-
did in the face. In the main drift
large deposits OF wash have appeared,
and several lenses of silver-lead ore
have been passed through. Just as
soon as the drift is advanced suffici
entity. several additional miners will
be put to work following and uprais-
ing on these ore showings. The main
drift will be pushed ahead as quickly
as possible to the Hamburg line. A
plant has been ordered in
order to hurry this work.
RUBY HILL
The work OF cleaning out the ac-
cumulated muck in the bottom of the
LOGAN shaft has been progressing |
during the week and yes
terday they were reported to be down
315 feet below the 800 foot station,
leaving a distance of Is feet to be
to reach the bottom.
