Show is found, frorn which some ore was' extracted, but later on, and higher up the trail, better conditions were discovered at a point about K0 feet from a large ajid bighlv mineralized dyke of porphyry, accompanied by a reef of quartzlte. along the track of which largo boulders of hematite lay imbedded on the surface,. At the upper shaft and incline tunnel, tun-nel, good results rewarded the workmen work-men from every round of shots. The workings here represent fully 200 feet in parallel inclines, at tho bottom of which n cross cut lias been made from one to the other, thus Joining the two and creating on air draft, through which the smoke Is quickly drawn to tho surface. ThLs drift, or Intersecting Intersect-ing cut. of about twenty feet In length, exhibits a face of ore along Its whole length, showing a dip of 40 degrees and. on the right, where the last shots were fired, a fissure has been opened open-ed reveal.ng a change from 10 degrees de-grees to a perpendicular. Tho assays along the entire length of the right-hand right-hand Incline show more than ordinary vaUies. varying from $1.40 to 314 gold, from 12 to .'7 per cent copper, and from five to fourteen ounces sliver, the values leng increased as greater depth is reached. This, coupled to the iron product as a flux, adds greatly to the value of this property. Located, as It is, to within a half-mile half-mile of the Union Faclflc railroad, the tonnage expense by wa?on haal Is a matter of favorable consideration, considera-tion, seldom falling- into the way of mining properly. President Toon states that while this property is Incorporated In-corporated f(.r 200.000 shares, he has not attempted to dispose of any of them, it being the desire of the company to reach the porphyry contact con-tact before placing tho stock upon the market Notwithstanding the old saying say-ing that "all signs fail in dry weather," weath-er," the writer is of the opinion that this property has too many earmarks for a good mine to fall under its present pres-ent management.
