at the Silver Leaf Claim has been
done with the very crudest of ma

now being installed along with 9TH

in readiness to develop the property

while some high grade samples from
the same property have assayed
$472.
The "Double-K" claim is another
property belonging to the Brohilco
Corporation which may develop into
money-maker. This claim has
never been thoroughly prospected
but pieces of float show SIC in gold
and 400 ounces of silver to the ton.
This property is located 1000 feet

four-foot vein has been opened up
which carries ore running better

Reports that the old Illinois mine
is to be reopened and worked with
modern equipment have been veri-
fed. The mine has been purchased
by NJ. L. Carver of San Francisco.
Mr.. Carver has also purchased the
mill at Rawhide which is being NOV
ed to the Illinois mine. The Illi-
nois mine has been idle for good
many years but was famous pro-
ducer In the old days. Vim. Ler-
chen the new superintendent reports
that they have 10000 tons of $40
ore blocked out on the 800 foot lev
ell. Under the primitive methods
used in the old days a good share
of the precious metals went into the
dump Engineers who have examin-
ed the Illinois dump estimate that
there is 5000 0tons there which viii
run s12.SO to the ton and which can
be handled at cost of $3.50.
