THE COMET. HAS GOOD PROPERTIES Indian Queen, Black Bird, Imperial, Frisco Contact and Other Properties Have a Most Promising Future I The Dlack Bird Gold and Copper Minin Company's property consists of about 1S00 acres surrounding tbs Cactus mine In tbe San Francisco district. Tbe present company was incorporated in 1899, and thus far has done but little to develop tbe proierty. The surface indications on this property in tbe vicinity of Copper Gulch embody practically tbe same features as does the Cactus; tbe same fissures of rhyolite cross both properties. Tbe and dob-rit- e New Years shaft is down about 300 feet with 600 feet id drifts. Tbe Ilelmcmt shaft Is down 300 feet with several fet of drifts which have cut tbe ore in several places. A few months ago the company began the development of the projierty with core drills and when the ore Is located at depth with these drills active work will be commenced at this property. The Black Bird is well equipped with hoisting plants suitable for heavy mining, and if operations are commenced on this property in real mining style it will be but a short time until the property will become a heavy producer. The ore Is there and all that Is necessary is to obtain depth to get It. THE INDIAN QUEEN. North and west of the Black Bird projierty, In the Fruess district.

The Indian Queen Company Is of recent organization, but bhwrk Hu htddtoEn Vs the ftrctTropwrtV located In the Pruess district This was known as the Mountain Queen and was located prior to 1870.

Tbe ore wras taken across the Wah Wah valley, where a smelter was then located. This deposit of ore proved to be a pocket, but the present company hopes to srtike the ore again in depth. The Indian Queen company is driving a tunnel on the Leland claim, which at 4000 feet is expected to attain a depth of 1200 fe-- t in the Mountain Queen at a point directly under the old workings. The tunnel is now nearing the objective point and it is believed that the ore will be broken Into before long.
