OPEN NEW ORE
BODY AT PRINCE

The opening up Of lead silver ore
assaying 35 per cent lead and IA
ounces in silver in the IA foot bed
ding on the 500 foot level of the
Prince Consolidated Mine has given
great encouragement to the mining
operations now being conducted at
the property. The ore while some
what bunchy is Of sufficient width
to profitably mine in spite of lying
almost fat with only a slight east
erly dip. Ore is still being taken
in the main fissure and the discovery
of ore in the bedding was made at a
point approximately SO feet from
the fissure.
About 200 tons Of ore is now avail
able for shipment but owing to the
state of the roads hauling has been
discontinued temporarily. Resump-
| tion of train service on the Prince
Consolidated railroad would mater
tally reduce the cost OF transportation
and it is hoped that such resumption
will be possible in the coming spring

NEW SHAFT At
BRISTOL SILVER
ABOUT COMPLETE

The new shaft at the property of
the Bristol Silver Mines company at
Bristol is nearing completion aud
Mike Kinsella, contractor, expects to
hole through to the surface before
thirty days have elapsed Raising is
being done from the 100, 200 and
500 foot levels and this important
work is being speeded in spite of de-
lays caused through machinery
hrakedowns occasioned by the Sc
we're winter weather.
The ore bins are full at the Jack
rabbit terminal of the Phoebe Pa
cific railroad and the rate of pro-
duction is being satisfactorily main
tanned. The ore recently mined and
now available will average 40c In
gold; 2S.2 in silver; 24.S per cent
lead; 2.2 per cent copper; 63 per
cent lime; 9S per cent insoluble;
and 1872 per cent in iron content.
Production is derived principally
from the 900 level stope, 70 feet
south of the Tempest fssure.

NEW ORE SHUTE
AT BLACK METALS

The discovery of profitable shoot
of silver lead ors is reported from
the Black Metals mine at Jackrab-
Bit analysis of the ore averaging
1876 ounce in silver and S s per cent
in lead content. Previous shipments
from this property have contained
higher silver values with practically
no lead content and the new ore
shoot is of great interest.
No difficulty is being experienced
in keeping up an average daily pro-
duction Of 40 tons. Leasers working
ON the 700 foot level are also mining

REDUCTION PLANT
NEARS COMPLETION

One Of the most important ad
juncts to the Phoebe mining camp is
the $50 ton milling plant that is be-
ing built on the old smelter sight on
the railroad track north of the camp
by the Phoebe Mines company. The
plant which is about S5 per cent com
pleted. is being built by the company
for the purpose of the milling and
reduction of their own property ores
from the properties now under de-
velopment within tramming distance
of the plant.
The construction of this plant has
been quietly carried on for more than
year without any publicity, it be-
ing the policy of the management of
the company to work along safe
lines that would insure success once
the plant is completed
The plant is being built and equip
ped according to the flow plans and
specifications, that were worked out
by the late o. A. Knox, well known
mining expert and mill builder OF
the Pacific coast states and Mexico
and is no doubt well adapted to mill.

The whole plant Is built on the

The mill is equipped with a Hard
