The May Day property of Tintlc certainly cer-tainly Is doing Its share of keeping up the procession of discoveries of merit, reports Wednesday being to the 'effect that tho new body of oro on the 500-foot level had now changed from its original character as milling to a tlrst-class shipping ship-ping grade product. Nor Is there any way as yet of soCurlnc: a lino on tho extent of the ore. Tho body has been penetrated for thirty feet and the shipping ship-ping rock shows clear across tho breast and enters all tho unexplored sides. It looks, therefore, like a big body, ono typical of the early days of this producer. pro-ducer. Recent developments tend to create the Impression that this body is tho continuation con-tinuation of the resources had on tho levels above during the past sovernl years and that tho management has been on the wrong track up to the present pres-ent tlbc In believing, as all conditions then pointed, that, the large upper bodies pinched to narrow stringers below the 400 level.

Rather than do this, tho Dorn Interests having control, the board decided to try a little more- of the untouched un-touched ground above, and ono assessment assess-ment was levied, the only one callod for by the Interests now having control. Tho development work was paid for by the royalties from leasers and the frequent returns from concentrates from the small mill on the properly. Success certainly has been gained In a very happy manner.
