be waiting for the rest of the proper watng the ground tics to resume He takes nround that the war to resume Is to resume and consequently a small force of men was put to work yesterday cleaning UI around the Bohn shaft and a fire started in the boiler The fire was lighted principally to test a new furnace fur-nace which was Dut In last fall but which has never been used I Is a smoke burning furnace and from all charm for appearances worked like a char not a particle of smoke could be seen coming out of the stack although a fierce fire was blazing The new furnace fur-nace is calculated to save from C3 to 40 per cent in fuel I < The assay card is not a very picturesque pictur-esque piece of pasteboard On the contrary con-trary it has a very dull and commonplace common-place trar appearance but very frequently there is written in its plain surface aster to its posses story that means more fs sor than all the volumes of the British library It means the successful result re-sult possibly of years of toil and self denial of hope long deferred which maketh the heart sick of a long weary struggle to find the mineral that ought to be but a few feet further in Dr Crook had one of these assay cards yesterday I read 22 ounces gold and 1GV ounces silver It might not have much significance to the ordinary man but to the doctor it meant that 1 years of unremitting labor had been crowned with success The doctor had struck It in the JayBird Jay-Bird Bir The Jav Bird and Grover Cleveland lie right In the center of the gold belt some distance above Oro in California gulch Dr Crook owns nearly all of both these properties and ha been very persistent in pushing development work there and during the past 17 years has expended 50000 In pushing operations the various tunnels and shafts aggregating several thousand feet feet feetMost of the work Ja been done In T I pyritiferous porphyry one tunnel having hav-ing been run in 1000 feet It was suggested sug-gested that he go deeper but the do tor has his own ideas of the geological structure there and decided to run a tunnel higher up the hill so he started one about 100 feet above the 1000 foot I tunnel This has been In porphyry up to within a few days ago when the stained material coming out indicated the presence of contact As progress was made ore began coming in on asides a-sides and on Saturday breast samples showed the remarkably fine value of 22 ounces gold and 164 ounces silver Two assays were taken both tallyins very closely At the present time the entire face of the tunneltop bottom and sides are In mineral and the present pres-ent Indications are that the Jay Bird Is In a large body of gold ore While the ore body has not yet been fully proved up mining men regard the strike a one of great Importance I is probable that the mineral Is in one of the veins so frequently found in the pyritiferous porphyry and which are often very rich and valuable valu-able The developments on this property prop-erty will be watched with the greatest interest by mining men and the opening open-ing up of the Jay Bird Into a producer will lead to considerable work in that portion of California gulch Dr
