HECKER NEVER LOOKED BETTER
__________
Good Assays Obtained With
Very Shallow Depth

Superintendent Harvey Hardy of the Hecker mine down near Woodside is particularly pleased with conditions there and says that within another year the camp will be one of the best in the state in the production of silver ores.
The Hecker property has closed down until after the holidays, when the company expects to resume work with an increased force. The development work accomplished this season has opened up a large body of concentrating ore and the company has now under consideration plans for a plant to handle the product.
Mr. Hardy says it will average 15 per cent lead, twenty-five ounces silver and $1 gold per ton. Of this ore there is an immense body, almost at the surface. In the drift from the bottom of the 100 foot shaft a strong vein is opening up which carries no less than 176 ounces of silver and 25 per cent lead.
At the Kaiser, a property of five claims in the same locality, which in early days shipped ore bringing returns of $1500 per car, a force of miners will be put on early in the year. And a number of other properties in the district are being steadily worked.
