Tho development work on Jum
bo continues to show very gratify
ing results. Last week the Mistle
toe vein was cut at a depth of 20
feet and found to lie as large and
as rich, if not richer, than at the
surface. It is stated by the rtian-
ager that a “streak” in this vein
pans to be worth a pennyweight
to the pan. A tunnel is now star
ted to cut this vein at a fifty foot
level, and should the values hold
out at this depth and the continu
ity of the vein ascertained beyond
doubt. This alone makes a good
gold mine. This vein was found
on a part of the property that
was not considered as a valuable
gold bearing part of the property
when developments begun. Tho
tunnel vein from the south to and
under tho old shaft discloses a
body of ore the like of which has
never before been seen in this sec
tion. For fully sixty feet of this
tunnel goes through a solid mass
of granulated roso colored quartz
which is so pleasing to the eye of
a miner. There is between three
and five hundred tons of this ore
on tho dump. The tunnel now
reaches the old shaft and there is
no evidence yet of any dim in na

good ore can now be sevn on the
