FROM 10 TO 12 FEET GOOD MILLING ORE
M. M. Reuse, manager of the
Mayfield properties .report's that
work on the Mayfield has pro
gressed during the past four
months in a most satisfactory
manner, the contractors driving
the tunnel having completed their
work. At the present time pro

are being taken in over I he ice,
while timbers for mining and
wood for fuel in sufficient quan
tities for next winter's use is be
ing gotten out.
At the present linn* there has
been given 550 feet of tunnel. A
cross-cut was run in striking the
vein at a depth of over 200 feet
from the surface. The vein was
struck in the cross-cut where the
surface surveys showed it should
be, taking the dip into consider
ation. The vein is from 10 to 12
feet in width antl shows free mill
ing: values throughout.
With the arrival of the finan
cial hackers of the company from
the east on possibly the next
6teamor, it is proposed to starl
another cross-cut 300 feet below
the present workings. It is ex
pected the vein will be struck in
a distance of 000 feet, giving a
working depth of 500 feet. With
depth the ore values have grad
ually increased, the vein showing
every evidence of permanency
There are now iOO ton4 of good
milling ore stored and with lh:
completion of I he lower level
workings there will be enough ore
in sight to run a i0-|on mill for
three years.
