Two Shafts Sunk by Hecker Mining Company.

THE HECKER IS GREAT

__________

  J. S. Daveler and C. F. Willsie of Lake City last week made an examination of the workings of the Hecker Mining Company, and they report the mine as being in a most gratifying condition.  This property consists of a group of five claims situated nine miles from Woodside, and is being developed under the supervision of Harvey Hardy.  Two shafts have been sunk within the past few months to a depth of sixty and forty feet respectively and from these shafts numerous crosscuts have been run clear across the vein, which is forty feet wide, and the entire distance has been through what is believed to be shipping ore, and about a carload of the ore is now in sacks ready for shipment.  Assays from hand samples which have been taken with a view of obtaining an average of the vein have yielded all the way from 30 to 62 percent lead, 4 percent copper and 68 to 238 ounces of silver to the ton.
