Since the property-was property-was acquired by Jfse Knight and asso-rlaleB asso-rlaleB the older workings of the Sioux Consolidated mine have been opened to leesee.s the first block being turned over to Alex Blight and C. B. HlUstai who have ai read v commenced .the development of the ground under the direction of the former. . This lease is In the Puocbe H. claim, and ft will be remembered that this claim carried for Its entire width the same ore deposit which made dividend pavers of the Beck Tunnel. Colorado. Sioux and Iron Blossom. While the Sioux people mined their part of the ore very thoroughly, thor-oughly, there i" always a chance, that something has been undisturbed and that it will he found by lessees, or that ore which years ago was not marketable can now' be handled at a profit. Lead and silver values predominated In tlif Sioux at the time the lnlno was such a heavy shipper. The fact that the older workings of the mine are again receiving some attention atten-tion and that important development work is also being done In behalf of the companv from one of the deeper levels of the Iron Blossom ought to stimulate interest In the Sioux.
