SILVER STANDARD: ORE WENT

OVER: -HUNDR!

ED DOLLARS. TON

Seven Hundred. and Thirty Tons ‘Shipped--Development| on a Large

The returns from the first ship-
ment of four hundred tons of ore
from the Silver Standard. mine|
which were shipped this. season
have been received. In the first
twelve or fourteen cars were four
hundred and sixty tons and. the
smelter returns on this amounted
to $53,624, or $114.40 per ton.

In the total shipment there

were seven hundred and thirty |.

tons and at the same rate the
total returns for the season will
be $80,423.20. |

That the standard of the i ore in
the. remaining. two. hundred and
seventy tons ‘will be up to-the
first lot is practically assured, as
that ore came from the No. 3
vein, and it was the ore from the
No. 8 vein which was responsible
for the increase in the values.

Last year the values were more
than $8,00 less per ton. Phan this
year.

The smelter’ returns were ex-
7 ceedingly satisfactory to the own:
mers of: the. property: ~and:they - no!

: longer hesitate about proceeding
with all speed with further de-
velopment. With a treasury con-
taining $80,000, they have no
financial difficulties to bother
them. It is merely a question of
time to accomplish the big. plans
which have been prepared during
the past few weeks.

In conversation with D. Mc-
Leod on ‘Tuesday, the Herald
learned that already. the new. de-
velopment work has been under-
taken, The shaft is being sunk

_ below the 250-foot level and. the
exploration work recommended
by Mr. Kleesattel is in progress.
