OREGON MONARCH LOOKING WELL Vice President Sieg, of Killen Warner Stewart Company Visits Property. Charles II. .Sieg, of New York, vice president of the Killen Warner Stewart company, watt at thu Oregon Monarch a fuw days ago and reports this property looking exceptionally flue. Thu winze being sunk on thu first vein encountered in thu long crosscut is in ore thu full width, which hat every indication of be- inn high grade. This vein is over seven feet witlu and thu values and width are increasing with depth. Thu crosscut is now in 1,-100 feet. In driving this distance seven Reed veins went cut. This crosscut is huing driven for thu Golden Monarch lead of the Ited Hoy, which will probably ho encounter ed he fore long. It has already heoli car ried further than was at first thought necessary, as thu vein Ih dipping away to the west. Whilo in this particular thu management has had to expend more work than was anticipated when operations weru started, thu fact that seven other good veins have leen en countered more than pays for thu unex pected length of thu crosscut. These veins will he thoroughly opened ttpafter thu main lead is cut. Thu crosscut gives a depth of I MX) feet under thu apex of thu hill. Thu inanagemunt is highly pleased over the showing the property is mak ing, and Superintendent Moffett will push development work iih rapidly as M)ssihlu. E. & E. TO RESUME Hoisting Plant Received and Preliminary Work Begun. It is understood that operations are to In resumed at thu K. it K. in a short time. A small hoisting plant has been received and contracts, it is stated, let for H.OOO cords of wood. Sueriutitudunt Thomas took charge of thu proNtrty somo time ago, and it wasstatetl at thu time that preliminary work toward gutting thu propurty in shape foroperatiou was to begin. Slnco then thu matters in litigation have beun settled, thu fatuous old mine passing hack to thu control of Jonathan Ilournu. WORK AT BEAR GULCH. Will Reach Ledge in About Two Weelr, Il Is Thought. At thu Hear Gulch property where thu strike in limestone was made re cently, the crosscut is now alxmt twenty live feet distant from the ledgu. This will give ii depth of about tlfty feet. Mr. Camp thiiiKs hu will reach thu vein In about two weeks. Thu run of ore from the overllow gave satisfactory results at thu Sumpter Sampling Works. Speaker at Mining Congress.
