Show Silver Shield Is Day's Sensation Stock Advances 35 Per Cent in Day . Rumored Now Ore StTike "Denied Old Oro Body Beached. The eonKational advanco In tho shares of Silver Shield on tho local mining exchange ex-change yostcrday, when tho stock advanced ad-vanced from offerings of S cents to sales abovo 12, gave rise to considerable speculation spec-ulation as to tho cause. It was rumored that their had been a new strike, In which a body of high-grade silver-lead ore of considerable magnitude had been die- closed, and thnt tho management was In a fair way to begin tho marketing of ores that would soon accrue a sufficient sum to warrant the resumption of dividends. Inquiry at tho best sourcca of information, informa-tion, In whjch the management of the property was consulted, developed tho fact thnt there is no new strlko In tho Silver Shield, though tho more favorable conditions that the work of the past few' days has developed fully warrant the advance- mado by the shares. As announced In thoso columns some two months tigo. Silver Shield encountered a good body of ore In an up-ralse twenty-eight twenty-eight feet above the level of the old Niagara Ni-agara tunnel through which Sllvor Shiolfl ground Is being worked The oro was a good lead- sulphide, and carried satisfactory satis-factory sllvor contents. It was about four foet wide and all around was a promising promis-ing prospect, with the ever-present possibility pos-sibility of becoming blggor and better , Unfortunately, Immediately after lto discovery dis-covery water from the uppor workings of the mine commenced to Hood tho lower workings, and the work of extracting the ore could not be undertaken. While the mine would have drained lt-scH lt-scH In time, tho management woa desirous desir-ous of ascertaining tho extent and direct lion of the new disco cry. and to that end went back In the tunnel and started another up-ralsc to the level of the ore imriv Whon the level was reached a cross-drift, was run to the oro, and thl3 was found to be as good where it was encountered in tho new work as where tho miners were driven out by the Water. . . The management ycnterday "was caretui to explain that this was tho only disclosure dis-closure In Sliver Shield, owing to tho fact that the ore body had been found where It was left sixty days ago and that the Water trouble had beon overcome. Even this Justifies the advance, as the holdings hold-ings of the company cmbraco some of tho most promising and least prospocted ground of upper Bingham, and. when it Is considered that the vein of tho Sllvor Shield is being operated through the deep tunnel of the Niagara, and by that means great depth can be obtained on the workings, tho outlook for the prop-ertv prop-ertv Is extremely favorable. It Is In the same belt where the Old Jordan has extracted ex-tracted over 517,000,000 In the precious metals. San Francisco-Tonopah Quotations. James A.
