great mine As re bently announced in the bulletin tl e vein waa reached by a cross cut tunnel and at the foot wall was found a nice streak of ore to that exposed in the bottom of a toot shaft bince then this tunnel has been extended 10 feet across the vein and at the bang ing wall Is now opened up two feet of ore in which is a six inch streak of handsome lead and carbon ates no assay Is needed

mercur and is more favorably impressed than ever with the future productiveness of the field concerning the golden gate and the result of researches at that point manager robinson is very reticent al though t is public property that the ore bodies now blocked out are dent to justify the erection of a mill of tons capacity it is not likely that a plant of that magnitude would be decided on were the management not convinced that there Is now ore enough in sight to run it for an indell nile period that manager has found such a plant fully justified is perhaps the best evidence that he la convinced that the golden gate is at leist as productive as the mercur itself there are many stories in circulation concerning the golden gate the lowest workings of which are 2040 feet below the horizon on which the mercur and marion are located it is claimed that it the management would consent to the publication of the real facts the impression that everything at mercur was low grade would be set aside and in its place presented a legend of ore that is fabulously rich the mercur or the marion or the geyser it Is con tended could boast of ores equally rich were they to sink to levels attained by the golden gate which will ultimately be done it can be claimed without any inconsistency that the zone from which these properties are now taking their ores will be found as strong at the level on which the delamar bonanza is said to have encountered its I 1 agh grades as at the outcrop from which the mercur is now quarrying a large part of its output it is known that at present the golden gate has over feet of workings and mr mcantire who nas in the city yester day says ie has been informed that less thin feet of that has been dead ground holever condition may ex ast 1st in tl e golden gate however the fact eliat a mill that will enable it to handle GOO tons a day Is to be erected affords abundant justification for the imi that the golden gate is the biggest bonanza that has been
