certain that there is still a great guam.
tity OF hich-grade ore In the mine.
During last week srnen were put &c
work by Mr.. Strickler in tracing the
known veins One was opened UT
n examined for several hundred feet
and found to be At least four feet wide
and to carry ore which will average
$50 to tho ton. a value which VIII pay
enormous profits as soon as the mine
Is equipped with modern machinery
and operated on a commercial basis.
Another enormous vein. tested by sur
ice shafts and cuts, in some places
as deep as is feet. is five feet in
width and carries ore averaging s24
a ton
Mr.. Strickfer also put one miner at
work in the placer gulch below the
mine and At n depth of three feet OBJ
tanned an excellent showing of placer
gold Continuing 10 bedrock. the
placering of the gravel showed an In
creased mount of free gold N every
sample taken showed many gold col.
ors. This placer gold in the gulches
has beyond question been washed
down from tho outcroppings of the
rich gold veins on the ground above.
NIHing men who own properties n
Joining no Miners Delight declare
that n vein OF blue quartz underlies
the famous white quartz veins OF the
Miners Delight which yielded such
fabulous fortunes. and that tho blue
quartz vein a never been opened up.
Last weeks examination Convinced
Mr.. Andrews hat this is true as the
placer gulches contain blue quart frag-
ments. Blue quartz was found In the
great upthrust dyke which evidently
brought al 1.-The veins to the surface
and showed in some of the old mine
workings.
As a result of this exhaustive ex-
animation. Mr.. Stricken has concluded
to sink n main shaft directly between
the two large veins uncovered and
traced last week. prosecuting at the
loo-foot level and also to cut through
what is known as tine dyke" into the
lower workings where the famous
white quartz wa found.
from the results obtained in the
past 10 days we are certain that there
is a gigantic tonnage of s24 and sac
ore in the mine and also that there is
a great deal more of the higher grade
ore than we had originally believed
Mr.. Andrews states some assays oh.
tanned by Mr.. Strickler from the main
Miners Delight vein on a former visit
ran as high as $500 per ton.
we explored some portions of the
famous rich vein which yielded over a
million in high-grade, although most
of the original workings have caved
in. and found samples OF rich white
nr1arfz which mill a----~ 44a H. 49,.
sands of dollars per ton. While I hes
ftate to make statement which
might~arouse undue excitement, yet I
am convinced that below this rich sur
fnce vein of white quartz we shall find
the blue quartz vein as rich in gold
as hi white quartz was above It. Mr..
McGrath. the owner of the adjoining
property. who has been in the district
many years. is likewise of this belief.
1 believe there is richer ore in this
mine than was ever taken out and
the belief is strengthened blythe rich
ore samples which I found and
brought out with me-"
As loon as the syndicate has com
pleted its financing campaign now in
progress machinery win be installed,
operations will be started and a large
tonnage OF medium grade ore viii be
blocked out while exploratory work
will be carried forward on the rich
streaks of high-grade ore.
Every foot of ground for miles
around the Miners Delight has beer
staked out or proven up by locat~rs.
III this district were in Colorado,
Nevada or California" Mr.. Andrews
states" the region would be swarm
ing with mining men n the gold
rushes OF past generations would be
in a fair way to be duplicated In
my experience in Arizona n Nevada
] have never seen a mining property
containing such well proven veins
and with such tremendous ore bodies
rs are to be found well defined in the
Miners Delight property.
The gold is there in huge and
profitable quantity. This / know be
yond any possible doubt, and efficient
mining operation will bring this mine
into the-ranks of the leading gold pro
ducers7 OF America in a short space o
time"
