They me, the Pulaski, the Cray, the Odessa, the Avalauch, the Marie, the Porphyry, the May, the Montgomery and the Addenda. The group was originally located by the Grlllln Itrothers In the winter and spring of 1808. Koine prospect work was done by them and except ioually high surface values encountered, (ileal Interest was excited in the propeity at the time and the locators icfiiccd an oirer of $10,000 In cash ami a bond of 850,000.

High Grade Stringer or Shoot Struck While Sinking. A telephone mesMige was received yesterday from Foiciiian Labeau, oi the Listen Lake group in the McNamee district, by (ieueral Manager .1. Win. Wilson, stating that a big body of high grade ore had been encountered while sinking and that great chuueks of the rich stud' weie being taken out. "Chunks of oie as big as wiwli tubs," is the way the foiemaii put it. Manager Wilson is at a loss to now whether the strike is a st lengthened stringer from the pay shoot or whether it is another pay shoot. The size icported would seem to indicate, however, that it is a new shoot. In sinking several rich stringers leading into the shoot disdoxed above, and now dipping some fifteen feet to the west, have Itoen encountered but nothing to compare in slo and richness to the prexcut strike. The shaft Is now down forty-live feet in a high grade of shipping ore, a large percent of which is copper. A large shipment of supplies was sent out this week.
