Show Mining JVfote. Some very rich ore la belnp; sacked at the St. Louis-Vassal, samples of which are now on exhibition exhi-bition at Mr. Walker's offices. Ore Is being mined from three separate places and the Incline shaft has been completed to the 130 mark, where a station is now being cut, and from this station a drift will be run to connect with the older workings of the property; at the same time ore is being stoped where It was first encountered in the incline. The best ore now being be-ing sacked runs 450 ounces silver, 11 per cent copper, cop-per, $6 in gold and some lead, while ore running as high as 200 ounces is being piled on tho dump. v? t Manager George R. Hancock of the Comstock has returned from the mine and reports everything every-thing working nicely at both the mine and mill, and as a result a very fine grade of concentrates is produced. Mr. Hancock says that the necessary neces-sary timbers have been ordered to sink the shaft another 300 feet, but just when sinking would commence he did not know at present, but said it would be pushed as fast as men and money could accomplish it after the start was made. JX & te5 A party of officials of the company and mining operators returned from the Wheeler & Wilson property In the Big Cottonwood district and brought with them some very nice samples of the oro now being mined at that property. The ore from the new strike gave returns of G8 per cent lead, ninety ounces in silver, and a little gold, while samples from another part of the mine went G3 per cent ead, sixty-eight ounces in silver and $2 in gold. The new strike was made 170 feet from the mouth of the tunnel. Some very nice specimens from the new strike in the Little Bell have been brought down by Manager Man-ager Splro. When he reached the mine a raise had been put in for a distance of seven feet, and at that point the vein was four feet wide, two feet of which is of a high-grade chloride ore, with several sev-eral inches of galena lying alongside. Mr. Spiro says that before much ore can be mined it will be necessary to do some timbering, extend the raise and put in a chute. This will require re-quire a few days, after which stoping will again commence. The ore is widening out nicely as the raise goes up, and from all appearances it will develop Into a large body of rich shipping ore. j & & President Singiser of the American Flag announces an-nounces that all arrangements have been completed com-pleted to begin stoping ore in tho old tunnel and incline workings of that property pending the sinking of the big shaft to a greater depth. Tho ore as it is mined will be hauled to the Mackintosh sampler at Park and stored there until un-til enough can be accumulated to warrant shipping, ship-ping, the object being to avoid the building of new bins at the mouth of the old tunnel through which it will be mined. The big shaft is now down 630 feetand will be continued to a point where it is deemed advisable to begin drifting. The bottom of the shaft is in ore that seems to be growing richer and stronger with depth. ' jt & & The Log Cabin Mining company, of which Dr. P. A. H.
