to develop the SoIstice mine, over
$4,000 having been spent in install
ing machinery
The mine was formerly owned by
Frank Winters. who made small for
tune from high grade ore alone, be-

Besides the high grade ore struck
today. there are thousands of tons of
low grade in sight and already mined
enough to run mill for years.
Another strike that recalls the days
of old when over a million dollars Of
gold-silver ore was taken from one
pocket. is reported by Archie Kelly,
old time miner andprospec tor He
has mined in numerous places about
the camp and lately has been working
in a raise in the old Million Dollar
Slope in the heart Of the city. Several
days ago he struck some rich looking
rock and assays received today show
that it runs 300 ounces in silver and
some gold. While he has just
broken into the vein. he has no idea
as to what proportions il might reach
but will continue work N an effort 20
disclose just what he has. The prop
erty is owned by the Bunker Hill com
pany
