OWNERS LOATH To PART WITH STOCK High-Grade Product Accumulating Accumulat-ing Soon Will Comprise Rich Shipment. No bettor Illustration, says the Goldflsld News, of the success which follows systematic syste-matic research of the vast expanse of mineral territory of this camp could be forthcoming than Is afforded by a resume of the developments of the last few weeks in the Red Top workings. During the past Bummer, With none but prospective values In sight. Red Top stock was selling at 30 cuts, today with more than J2.0fin,0 worth of ore showing, it Is held at L 80, with the owners loath to part with it even at that price. Half Is Not Yet Told. Tho meteoric success of Red Top has created a sensation in this camp of sensational sen-sational gold values, and there seems to h. no limit lo the c.i pa bl 1 1 1 i.'S of the mine along th.it line. From the time that pay ore was drst encountered until the present It has supplied mining history with a succession of glittering chapters replete with high-grade assay returns, and tnr half has not yet been told January 1, 1906, finds it but Just starting on Its epoch-making epoch-making career and with Ihe miners but barely at the threshold of its vast treas-ure treas-ure vault Its possibilities In the way of production during the next twelvemonth are almost fabulous, und conservative mining men place the output from development de-velopment alone at a figure In excess of $2,000,000. Thousands of Dollars Per Ton. At the B0-fool point IS inches of ore which averages StteOH in gold to each Z0 pounds Is being mined, and from present uppeur-ancf-s these values arc a fixture. They prevail for a length of HO feet along the vein, and as the drift Is extended they are keeping the pace. In the upraise from tlie jiHUfoot level tho pay shoot is four t.-.-i m breadth and has an average value of $.'-2"i p. r ton. Its companion is a streak of talc which frequently sacks at the rate of $10 per pound and holds a general gold average aver-age ..f is par pound. No Resort to Stoping.

Aside from the high grade blocked out there are thousands thou-sands of tons of mill rock In sight and Ihus far every pound of ore taken from the workings lias been mined without resort re-sort to st. ping Local Mill Is Success.

Rich Shipment Will Be Made. The higher grades of tho high grade ro k are kept safe tinder lock and key below ground and are to form a shipment of their own later on. This treasure Is In turn being segregated, the $10 per pound tale- at one point, the $.1 per pound talc at another, the $9000 ore at a third and tho $6200 rock at a fourth To be sure, these premier grades are not piling up as rapidly as Is the J2iO grade, but they are accumulating a little every day Just the same, and are already In sufficient bulk to form a good sized shipment Just when they will go out Is unknown to anyone Save the management, but It Is thought that upon the return ot ".
