Show DION WILL SHIP LEAD ID COPPER Copper Shipments for Last Month Ran 18 Per Cent Red Metal. "Within a very short timo tho Dragon will bo ready to Bend out tho first consignment con-signment of oro from the now lead striko on the 800 lovol, and tho mine assa3's show that this oro will carry about 50 per cent lead, with somo silvor sil-vor and cold, says tho Euroka Eeportor. Tho deposit has been prospected to somo extent, and whilo it is rathor small at tho present time, boinjr almost aui'whoro from six inches to throo foot in width, Superintendent E. It. Higgon-son Higgon-son fceb suro that it will lead to something some-thing much bettor. Just at present he is sinking on this oro, which comes in tho limo formation and about 700 feet to tho east of tho shaft. The management manage-ment intends to go out aftor tho samo oro on tho 3000 level, but considors it advisable to got a bettor line on tho ore by following it somo distanco below be-low tho 800, and thus suvo unnecessary work on the lower lovol. Copper at North End. Somo very nico copper ore is being mined from the northern cud of tho Dragon, whoro work is handlod through tho Black t7ack, aud that portion of tho Dragon that is being workod through tho No. 1 Blossom shaft is also producing somo good lead-silver rock. From tho two places the Dragon is getting get-ting an output of about 400 tous a month. The copper oro that was shipped last month, and upon winch the company com-pany has already received roturns, car-ried car-ried nearl3" IS per cont in the red metal. Since the work was taken up in that part of tho Dragon a short timo ago, four carloads ot oro havo been marketed. mar-keted. Iteccnt developments indicate that tho main Iron Blossom vein, which has already al-ready t been opened for a fow hundred foot in the Dragon ground, will bo found to extend through tho greater portion of tho latter company's holdings. hold-ings. Tho showing in tho Brooklyn ground, which is now being developed from the 800 lovel of tho Dragon, is improving quite materially, tho face of tho drift being literally filled with quartz, iron and manganese. The change in tho formation for-mation seems to indicate the proximity of higher grade oro. Dr. Ben Smith, who is in charge of tho Unitod Tintic proporty in tho Silvor Citj ond of tho district, states thnt his work of unwatcring the shaft has boon stopped in order that new flues may bo put in ouc of tho boilors. Tho unwator-mg unwator-mg of tho shaft was taken up a few weeks ago, and it was progressing nico-ly nico-ly until tho boilers went out of commission. com-mission. At that timo tho pumps woro working splendidl3 and Dr. Smith has sinco been giving tho machinery a complete com-plete overhauling. Ho anticipates no troublqin lowering the water and got-tiug got-tiug ovcr3'thing in readiness for work on the 280 level withiu tho next few weeks, and in tho mcantimo ho is ro-moving ro-moving somo veiy good ore from tho 210 level, whero a drift has been following follow-ing a Binall stringer of oro for some littlo time. Dr. Smith states that he is now talcing talc-ing out about a ton of oro for each day's work, and that ho will soon bo on tho market again with a carload shipment, ship-ment, the ore carrying about C per cent copper and m tho neighborhood of 30 ounces in silvor. It has boon some littlo timo sinco tho United Tiutic people stoppod work on tho 280 lcvol, and the former superintendent superin-tendent states that when ho got orders to pull tho pumps he was prospecting a vory important section of the company's com-pany's ground, in which there was some ore. The management has alwa3's been anxious to cut somo of the important veins at that depth, and that is what will bo dono as soon as the shaft can be unwatcred and the drift cleared out and relimborod. Eagle & Blue Bell Sinks Winze. Superintendent. William Owcn3 of the Eagle & Bluo Bell status that the 1550 oro bod3' has developed splendid proportions, pro-portions, and that when Jin discovered thnt it was making to oven greater depth ho decided to follow it with a wiuzo. Tho sinking was taken up a da' or two ago, and tho winze is now down to a depth of ten feet. Tho small engine is boing put in place todaj', and no lime will be lost in following this immenso oro deposit, and later if the showing bolow the 1550 justifies it, and there fan bo but little question regarding this, the main working shaft will be dropped down a fow more notches.
