The drift . to the east is in quartz which shows free gold and heavy sulphurets The drift to the west is in quarts also. ‘In both, drifts there are fine walls, which fact indicates the ledge # be a permanent one. Independence Consolidated Mining Company. owns a tunnel claim at . Independence Hill. The tunnel now being van will, .run through the mountain, and will ent in ita, conrse some three or four ledges, which crop outon the surface, and will ‘probably cut some blind ledges. The tunnel is now in 352 feet, and is in very hard rock. Several stringers of quartz are now seen in the end of the tunnel, and the stringers prospect well in a hand mortar. The indications are that one of the Jarge cropping ledges will be cut in a few days. Daisy Hill mine is still doing well. The last crushing gave $42 to the ton. The shaft is down 315 feet on the ledge, and miners are running levels from that depth. The quartz which is being taken out comes from the 225 foot level. Whe rock now being taken out “is superior, to all} appearances, to that recently crushed. Green Mountain has been running five stamps most of the time during January, and -has_kept-more than even. The work of development has been going on at the same timd, and the developments are such that . this month of February will give a splendid result from the mill. North ‘Star has splendid ore in the. new shaft which is being put down at a point east of the dry house. The ledge in the new shaft is well of the old works thereis no change, but explorations are being pushed forward, The West Idaho Company consists of 1600 feet-on the ledge, and urmade, From a lecture delivered by A. Delano, we gather the. following items of interest. Speaking of quartz ‘operations,he saya: ‘“Thereisentered upon the books of record of this district about vleven hundred distinct quartz ledges, and of these it would be safe to say that. with the improved appliances of working leads improved machinery, powerful explosives and judicions management, at least five hundred can be worked at .

Twenty days run gave gold to: the value of about $72,000. . The ledge continnes large and rich upon it, The Eureka during the month, has. gold. Work of exploration af going . find ower pay or cinders. 3 Howard Hiil mine is now down mer working ef the mine. The drift . to the east is in quartz which shows free gold and heavy sulphurets The drift to the west is in quarts also. ‘In both, drifts there are fine walls, which fact indicates the ledge # be a permanent one. Independence Consolidated Mining Company. owns a tunnel claim at . Independence Hill. The tunnel now being van will, .run through the mountain, and will ent in ita, conrse some three or four ledges, which crop outon the surface, and will ‘probably cut some blind ledges. The tunnel is now in 352 feet, and is in very hard rock. Several stringers of quartz are now seen in the end of the tunnel, and the stringers prospect well in a hand mortar. The indications are that one of the Jarge cropping ledges will be cut in a few days. Daisy Hill mine is still doing well. The last crushing gave $42 to the ton. The shaft is down 315 feet on the ledge, and miners are running levels from that depth. The quartz which is being taken out comes from the 225 foot level. Whe rock now being taken out “is superior, to all} appearances, to that recently crushed. Green Mountain has been running five stamps most of the time during January, and -has_kept-more than even. The work of development has been going on at the same timd, and the developments are such that . this month of February will give a splendid result from the mill. North ‘Star has splendid ore in the. new shaft which is being put down at a point east of the dry house. The ledge in the new shaft is well of the old works thereis no change, but explorations are being pushed forward, The West Idaho Company consists of 1600 feet-on the ledge, and urmade, From a lecture delivered by A.

Speaking of quartz ‘operations,he saya: ‘“Thereisentered upon the books of record of this district about vleven hundred distinct quartz ledges, and of these it would be safe to say that. with the improved appliances of working leads improved machinery, powerful explosives and judicions management, at least five hundred can be worked at .
