The Stemwinder mine in Grass valley
district is producing a shipping grade
Of silver ore at a new discovery re-
grass roots and some of it assays as
high as 500 ounces of silver to the
ton. A small crew is at work and ore
is placed in sacks as it from
the open pits. The only question seems
to be as to the permanence of the
strike. If the ore should continue to
depth, then the discovery is a valuable
one and will have the possible effect
of placing the Stemwinder in the pro-
ducing class. The property has al
ready produced ore to the value of
about $4,000.
night carloads of lead-silver con-
centrates have been produced by the
Success Mining company since the re
sumption of operations a few months
ago, according to reports from Wal
lace, Idaho. Three of them have been
settled for by a smelter, three are in
transit and two are in the bins. The
net returns on the first three car
loads was 81 ,042, according to Allan
G. Kennedy, general manager.
The ore in transit and in the binds
is believed to be Of the anne quality.
The concentrates were produced from
ore removed in the course of drifting.
This ore has been sufficient to supply
the mill for operation on q basis of
eight to 10 hours daily. When slopes
are drawn On, which will be soon, it
is proposed to operate the mill con-
%tinuously. About $50 tons of high
grade zinc concentrates have been
accumulated in the production of the
lead-silyer concentrates.

A. G. Bachman, who has n lease on
the upper workings of the Sunset
mine, is reported to have discovered a
remarkable showing of lead-silver ore
on the surface which appeared to be
a parallel vein to that one which has
bee ndeveloped through the shaft, 1t

Clark who owns the Sunset, will soon
visit the property to personally IN
spect this wonderful showing. and
his visit is expected to be followed by
plans for an early resumption OF work.

developing its ground through the st.
Lawrence tunnel. has been notified to
