Show ley gToup of claims In North TIntlc. work has ben suspended until repairs re-pairs are made, and tho old hand machinery ma-chinery is again Is operation. The shaft has attained a depth of 30 feet. Superintendent S. K. Ware has the development work well In hand and is making rapid progress. As soon as tho machine drills are put In operation opera-tion pood reports can be expectde from these claims. A drift Is now- being run on the "no level at the No. 3 workings of the Iron Blossom mine for fhe purpose of getting under tho cave recently opened open-ed up In that property. The drift will have to be run a distance of lOrt feet, and Superintendent Charles Zabrlskle expects to accomplish this work within with-in two weeks. He will rush the w'ork as the cave Is known from recent explorations ex-plorations to contain a vat quantity of good paving ore. wtilch the management man-agement will remove through the drift now being extended from the '.on level. The Iron Blossom is going t be one of the wonders of great TIntlc. TIn-tlc. Dan Frank has finished bis contrnet for sinking the shaft at the Crown point a distance of inn feet and another an-other contract was immediaif ly let lo sink to the 2m level, luxate. as tho claims are. there is no doubting their future ns ore produeers. Work was commeneed this week on the North Iron Blossom claims, which adjoin thn old Beck Iron mine in the north end of the district, and from samples talen from the ground with proper development work should so,,n he made a paying proposition. As the drift i-i being driven on the 1 in 0 level of tlie Black .lnk mine, the deposits increase In richness and the workings are being pushed southward south-ward to open up a hl:h grade ore hody known to exist In that locality. The ore at present encountered is rather of a broken character, mit is assuming assum-ing a higher grade as the drift is he Ing run, and it is only a question of a short time when the solid ore body is encountered. NOTES FliOl THE TfflCJISTRICT Much New Work Is Being Done in Some Interesting Spots. Eureka, Nov. 13. One of tho large pumps gave out at the Centennlal-Euroka Centennlal-Euroka mine during Iho week and certain portions had to be sent to Salt Lake for repairs, and the other unlLs of the plunt which handle tfno palloDs of water per minute will be used In keeping down the overflow of water on the 22uo level. Operations are going along finely on this level and the property is advancing daily In the production of high-grade ore. The ore l.dy on the 300 level of the Colorado mine Is opening up in a I shape very satisfactory to the management, man-agement, the present body being about j forty feet wide, and as progress Is i made the vein widens, from which Is J obialneJ the1" highest grade ore. As J the property contains U'O feet of! ground that has never been prospected the future Is bright. The shaft at the Yankee mine is reaching the lower levels at a rapid pace and It Is expected that larco deposits of ore will bo unearthed about the time the 1100 level Is ar-talned. ar-talned. The present contractors will sink to the liJOO. where prospecting will bo the order of Ihe day and the shaft will be continued to the lion level. The present hoisting plant at the property will allow 2.r.0o feet of sinking, and. If necessary, the company com-pany will go to that depth. The management man-agement of the mine Is working 'ho property In a very economical manner man-ner and Is making even dollar count.
