Demonstrates Future
Within two months from the time
it first attracted the attention of min

Union Pass, has demonstrated its ore

ner, and has gained recognition as
the most promising gold-bearing Sec
tion that has been discovered III more
than a decade Steen properties are
now undergoing development there,
and before the current month is far
advanced it is not improbable that
sthe number of operating properties
will have been, doubled. Investment
interest in the new district. at first
largely confined to Pacific slope min
ing men, has of late extended to Chi
cago and New York. Several inqui-
ries for mining properties have been
received from these points and deals
for their acquisition are being nego-
tiated.
The physical condition of the Kath-
crime mine improves steadily as the
drifts, crosscuts and raises are ex-
tended in the massive orebody open
ed on the 100, 200, 300 and 400-foot
levels. The mine is in pay milling
ore from top to bottom and his fully
s4.000.000 worth of ore blocked out.
Until recently. development work on
the 400-level was considerably ham,
pered by water-flow which the cleo
trically driven pump was unable to
handle successfully. This handicap
has been surmounted. however. by
the installing of an engine to gener-
ate electric power. thereby relieving
the strain carried by the hosting and
compressor engine when forced to
drive the dynamo. Relieved of this
overburden. the hosting engine is
functioning TO better advantage, and
mine work has been correspondingly
opened up.
At the adjoining Katherine Exten-
sion MILLER property the double
compartment shaft entered the con
tinuation of the Katherine vein in
| the latter part of May. The shaft is
now in the vein to depth of 60 feet
| with a gradual increase in gold val
| ues as it is deepened. Sinking will
continue to p depth from surface tc
! 200 feet, which will carry the shaft
| through the vein, on its dip. Cross

level Superintendent Ed Chaffee o.
