Big New Ore Shoot Opens at Success Mine
The Success mine shows a promising new ore shoot after discovering a thin stringer that widened to 18 to 20 inches of lead silver and zinc ore in the 700 foot level. The ore body extends into virgin ground west of the shaft, with more than 1000 feet to the end line, and other shoots on 1400 level point to resumed production when zinc markets improve.

Featherstone lease ships high grade ore from You Like workings
Two car loads of ore from the Featherstone lease averaged over 600 ounces of silver per ton, though tonnage is unconfirmed. Judge A H Featherstone confirmed the high grade shipment, noting 10 tons of gray copper ore from 4 stringers on the hanging wall with samples between 300 and 1200 ounces of silver per ton, averaging about 627 dollars per ton in value. The lease also ships lower grade lead-silver ore with strong returns, and the Duff-Hayes lease above is expected to prove equally profitable as more ground is opened.
