has been sunk As feet and is being .
continued lLe shaft has disclosed l
bodies OF ore and they are of such |
Importance that an adit tuncel l25 |
feet vertically below the shaft IS be- |
ing double shifted and pushed in to |
make connection with the shaft as
rapidly as possible Then tunnel l.
in about 100 feet and has about the
same distarce to 20 before encoun-
tering the ore. This tu.nal is being
driven from thes northw & and is
now i nthe me slale which lies ler
the orebody, and therefore it is pos
sible that the ore may be encounter
ed within the next three weeks.
r. M. Cei cert, Of LoIdon. and
New York, ann ourced the encounter
upon another portion OF the Dale
property OF new high-grade ore oc-
currence. This was found in the T.
trench on the westerr,no5t portion
of the outcrop, where the samples
taken from the new find show from
5000 to $3.50 to the ton. The discov-
cry is proving of crater Importance
than at first expected, and is fast op-
ening up into a large quantity OF
high-grade.
j. Nelson Nevius, geologfst for the
Nevada Silver Horn, accompanied
Mr.. Geppert over the Dale ground
Wednesday, and found piece OF
float from an entirely new place
upon thep roperty which showed
over $1,000 the ton. This float Is
being prospected and the original
location from which it came will
soon, he disclosed. There have been
SO many new finds o ore upon the
Dale within the last few weeks tina,
the announcement of new finds is fre
ouent and is fast poving that the
Dae property is developing beyond
the expectations and hopes of thos'
who saw the property in the earl!
days.
Trenching to the north OF tn
Huson lease disclosed the ore-shoo
to continu in that direction over b
feet The trench 16 feet to tn
north puroved bodies of ore OF larg
size, and the following samples wer
securede from this locality. Thre
feet of the harder quartz Shove
S15.10 to the ton, and another san
ple taken of the quartz, mixed wit
considerable surface soil shove
SO and two samples of of foot eac
showed $40 and $29 respectivel
These places represent large bodi'
in the direction of which the lowe
tunnel is being driven, which wi
mounted these within month
six weeks. The work on the nor
of the Huson lease is fast provil
that the orebodies will be found
extend for a distance or over A.
feet or to a point where the lar
fault cuts the ore off and its co
tinuation is to be found upon Wei
Peak. n
The location over SO feet to t
north of the shaft showed ore C;
rying $29.40 to the ton, and mu
material which would afford lar
tonnages OF profitable milling ore.
South of the Huson shaft abe
SO feet, the systematic sampli
which has been conducted show
$4,000 for three feet across the
and 13 feet to the south Of this po
disclosed mill ore averaging SIS
to the ton. At a point 100 4
south from the shaft the average
the outcrop sampled showed $11
and the other averages taken alt
the outcrop to the south for
tance of up to 127 feet from
shaft, showed $1,000, $1,000
$11.5O, and the reported aver
of the outcrop indicates that "
development this will prove Of Q
better grade, and will all be suits
for profitable mill ore.
The existance Of such large q
titles OF high-grade float indi,
that a number of ore occurrel
have not yet been found, and
give promise that the Dale will s
develop into one of tn most i'm
tant mines in the camp.

up to the present been exposed I

along the strike Of the orebody
