The prediction of at least two nolo.d mining engineers who vlnltcd Uannock last October that sinking and crosscut-ting crosscut-ting would open up ore bodies of grent extent and high values Is beginning to bear fruit, Frank L. Rcbor, secretary of the Mayor-Rehrr Leasing' company, operating on block I wo of tho Nevada -Omaha estate, has brought to fruition thai prediction, for a threo-fooi ledgo In the bottom of tUMr shaft has widened out lo more than twenty feet In a drift off tho holding company's tunnel and at 0 depth of nearly 100 foot. And tho values have Improved astonishingly. Furthermore. It Is Mr. Rebor's Judgment that this Is the continuation of tho ledso from which tho free gold was taken hi tho Nevatla-Oinnha Nevatla-Oinnha company In Its first discovery on tlv surface. Tho "glory holo" ledge at fifty feet dipped off lo the oust toward the Mayer-Reher Mayer-Reher shaft, which was sunk but twenty feet. But fit the company holding shaft It appeared to havo been lost. This problem was solved by tho discovery of a "horse." and In drifting around It In their work In tho tunnel tho Mayer-Rcber Mayer-Rcber pooplo havo found the continuation continua-tion of that ore body and. it Is said, of far greater proportions.' Tho footwall of tho voln as well as tho hanging wall Is wMl established. Along the footwall the panning reached a value of 51S0. Thero Is a great mass of mill dirt, with quartz streaks that pan easily 350. and the ore along the "horse" pans better than SuOO. go the width of tho ore body at this depth has been established as well us the fact that values got better, and thero Is no longer any question as to tho permanency of the ledge.
