Stock Assessments Bring in Funds for Deeper Development. The stock of the Iron Colt mine having been made assessable to the amount of 23 cents per share, a first assessment of 214 cents has been made, creating a treasury fund of $25,000 with which to resume work. Accordingly Alexander Sharp, the superintendent, is now preparing to develop the mine to greater depth. The ledge was crosscut by a tun- nel about 1200 feet long anda drift run west for 150 feet showing up a large body of ore at a depth of 320 feet below the surface. By careful sorting, a large part of this ore could be shipped at a profit. shies At present, however, itis intended to sink from the tunnel to gain a depth of 500 or 600 feet and thea dritt into the mountain, with the expectation of striking richer ore chutes. .
