ERECTING ORE BINS AND PREPARING TO ENTER THE RANKS OF THE SHIPPERS.

A strike of great richness has just been made on the Kalamazoo, located on the summit of Bull hill. The property is owned by P. E. C. Burke, and is operated under a $75,000 bond and lease by W. H. Reynolds of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The lessee has worked the claim for a long time, and has put down a shaft 500 feet in depth. The ore chute was encountered in a crosscut run from this shaft, and is supposed to be an extension of the Emma No. 2 vein.
The ore gives assays of almost $1,500 to the ton, and while the full extent of the find is not yet known, the lessees complacently admit that it is a big strike. They are now putting up ore bins and preparing to make immediate shipments.
The presence of Mr. Reynolds and half a dozen New York friends in camp for the past two days has led to rumors of the bond being taken up at once, but this is denied.

This company has bought the Little Joe and Kalamazoo claims on Bull Hill near Altman. The price given is $72,500. This company has been operating a lease on some of the Damon property close to the north end of the claims purchased, and took out considerable ore.
The new property lies parallel to the Wild Horse claim of the Consolidated Gold Mines Company, which is shipping largely. The Little Joe and Kalamazoo where bought from W.H. Reynolds of New York, who has done a large amount of work on them.
Mr. Reynolds still retains an interest in the property and was elected president of this company. The other officers are Mr. Stovel and O. W. Pitcher. Mr. Pitcher is general manager.
