Show 230 feet vertical depth on the vein, returns across the four and one-half feet face as follows: Lead, 11. C per cent; silver, fill S ounces; gold, CO cents. The vein splits nbout 2o feet back, and has spread, ghlng I wo pay streaks. Tho highest values have been found on tho left channel which Is following the hanging wall. The foot-wall foot-wall has not yet been cut- yet the right vein has been followed about 40 feet, the V-shaped vein matter between be-tween belnp near 25 feet across. A carload of this high class ore Is now being sacked in preparation for shipment ship-ment to the Salt Lake valley Bmelters. Big Stoping Territory. The tunnel cut two other ore shoots. At H33 ftet It passed through one nearly 100 feet thick. This ore runs 12.5 ounces silver and 5.1 per cont leead. As this shoot has been vroven from Its outcrop on the anrface down 250 feet. H affords a tremendous holy of fine milling orto The high-grade high-grade shont from which the shipping ore Is now being taken Is also proven prov-en to the surface, giving a large stoping stop-ing territory on that rich body. This work is all on the Emma and Exchequer Ex-chequer claims, Tho company is now llgiiring on a concentrating plant, or a small STnel-ter STnel-ter to take care of the great b'xJies of low-grade. With this end in view, a half car from each the Superior and the Antelope wa9 shipped to Minneapolis Minnea-polis to give the Pink smelter there a try. If It proves satisfactory, the Intention is to erect a small Fink smelter on tho ground at a enst of probably $20,nuu If not, a mill will probably be erected In the early spring. Except on account of the slow returns from the test carload sent to MliinoanoliR, a mill of some kind would probably have been put upthls fall. Antelope Springs. Sampling by Mr. Ceiger of the ralso on No. 3 tunnel on the Antelope Springs property was equally satisfactory. satis-factory. Alout 500 feet In the tunnel Is the 40-foot raise. Two and one-half one-half feet of the face on the south end of the raise went lead, 13.5 per cent; 62 S ounces sliver; JO ounces gold. This la about 250 feet Troni the surface where the same high values outcrop. The ore, making in the lime. In a big rich shoot, extends to the surface, where it is exposed !n a laree open cut. The back of the same raise carries values of 33 2 per cent lead. 32.4 ounces silver, 30 cents gold Tunnel No 3 has penetrated BIG ORE BODIES IN HUMBOLDT Sampling of Nevada-Superior and An-telODe An-telODe Springs Very Satisfactory.

Returns from the recent sampling of the ore bodies in the Nevada Superior Su-perior Mines company and the Antelope Ante-lope Springs Mining company, made by John V Ge'ger, secretary and manager, when out to Humlioldt last week, have come in. and are extremely extreme-ly gratifying.

The management now contemplates going 13o feet further down the mountain and putting In tunnel No. 4 to tap this winze and give still more stoping territory. The two properties are in splendid physical condition, with all the earmarks ear-marks of making two big milling propositions, and are only awaiting the advent of the mill to prove this fact. |
