.roduced more Important results
~, at any time during the past
four or FIVE years.
Al the north end of the level there
.,s two cross assures, and for a dis
,snce of zoe feet high grade ore
sodies are being constantly encount-
srad The work is in virgin ground
and every ore body opened up is go
,rg down strong. For a distance OF
sao feet back from the face what is
tnown as wash in this district is en-
eountered everywhere and 1t is assay
,ns high in values running from s24
10 y5s, and high in gold. The man
ssement is confident that they are
auuroaching one OF the old time ore
bodies which made Eureka famous in
the old days. The high grade ore
bodies are being developed and put
in shape for the extraction of ore
from which regular shipments will
now be made.
Fourteen fifty ton shipments have
been made from this new strike and
In no Instance has the ore netted as
low as $50 a ton after paying freight
and treatment charges. A winze is
being sunk to command all the ore
bodies that have been found In this
particular part of the mine and 1t will
be continued as deep as the air will
permit, 1t being the policy Of the
management to obtain depth as
quickly as possible to prove the con-
unuance of the ore below the old
workings.
EUREKA-PRINCE
A force of men is now at work on
the Eureka-Prince lifting high grade
ore. Samples taken at random from
the ore now being hoisted assayed
$50 ounces gold. and 1877 ounces sill
YER.
Superintendent Fine will put on an
additional number of men next week
and increase the output. Machinery
win soon be installed and a working
shaft sunk on the property from
which drifts will be driven to cut the
ore bodies at greater depth. A plan
Of systematic development OF the
property has been decided upon by
the management and will be vigor-
ously pushed to completion. 1t has
also been decided to put cyanide
mill on the property as quickly as
possible in order that the milling ore
now standing in the mine and on the
dumps may be utilized. The mine
has been thoroughly sampled and the
average value of the ore found to be
much higher than was expected.
EUREkA-CLIMAx
Work in the Climax is progressing
Iery satisfactorily. An important
thange is taking place I'M the charac-
Ter of the rock through which the
Tunnel is being driven and important
Rams of high grade ore have been
sneountered. The management has
Ractically decided to drive a south
drift from the Prospect Mountain
Tunnel under their property which
sould strike it at a depth of about
1900 feet. This is considered to be
a very important piece of develop
ment work and will be watched with
great interest by all who are inter-
ssted in the district. Should the ore
bodies which produced so much high
srade ere in the Dead Broke claim
years ago be found to continue to
depth OF 1900 feet, the mine will be-
come one of the most important in
this part of the country. IL possess
es remarkable possibilities and there
is no reason to suppose that they Will
not be realized.
HREKA-KING
In the Eureka Tunnel a winze has
been sunk about 60 feet and connec-
ton has been made with the old stope
made famous by the large quantity
| Of very rich ore taken out years ago
when II was worked under lease by
chinaman. Stringers of very rich
ore have already been encountered
and the management is confident that
the same ore body that produced so
largely In the past will soon be struck
and shipments started from it.
Work in the Prospect Mountain
Tunnel has produced gratifying re-
suits. The tunnel is now In 5000
iset and has cut through 13O feet OF
hghly mineralized ground, which
continues to grow better and in
Which about s feet of lead spotted
uound was encountered. There Is
every indication that the work is now
nclose proximity to ore bodies and
Is believed that they will be en-
ountered within a very short time.
All of the visiting engineers and
aperts who examined the Prospect
A0untain Tunnel agree that 1t is the
most important piece of development
YORK ever undertaken in the district,
ad they all express the unqualiiied
eief that 1t will open up great ore
"dies as 1t proceeds.
