lreds. Average width between the
2, feet. A tunnel is being run in to cut
the ledge great distance below the sur
face; it is now in 80 feet, and will be !
pushed ahead with all vigor. 1t is of the |
same dimensions as the Hamburg tunnel. |
The groupings Of the Georgia are very
bold, and may be traced fully 800 feet.
We believe We never examined ledge
more promising at the same stage of de-
velopnent. The Georgia is undoubtedly
n true fissure vein.
THE HowARTH
is ledge of modest showing now, but
may improve Ms development progresses.
The vein is nowhere over 10 inches wide,
but what there Is Of it is solid mineral,
and very rich. 1t is an old location,
having been discov, red in the spring of
1869. The ore is of the smelling class,
much of it being pure galena. Three
tons, smelted in Eureka as test, yielded
SliS to the ton. 1t is on the north side
OF Arizona Mountain, and dips to the
northeast. The walls are as smooth and
regular as we ever examined. The How
arth may develop into an important
mine. but We have more confidence in
number of other lodges owned by the
company.
THE PHIL. SHERIDAN
is 400 feet above the Howarth, and runs
parallel with it. Ore of the same class,
though not quite SO rich, and the vein is
wider than the Howarth. Development
not sufficient to form opinions.
THE BENGAL TIGER
is q quarter of mile northwest OF the
Phil. Sheridan, is on line with it, and
carries the same class of ore; but we
consider it a much more promising vein.
The main shaft, it is true, is not down
far, but the vein can be traced great dis
lance by the groupings, and it has nowhere
showed less width than feet, and the
walls are good. Assays not high, but
very encouraging. .
THE LEWISTON CITY
carries more iron and less lead than any
other vein we examined on the northern
side of Arizona Mountain. 1t can be
traced 1000 feet by the groupings, has
an average width of feet in the mair
shaft, and the walls are smooth anG
regular. The assays run from 81 to SAL
to the ton. We like the indications o.
the Lewiston City very much.
THE LINCOLN
runs parallel with the Lewiston City, i,
equally we'll defined, assays about thu
same, and goes down nearly straight
but the vein, so far, is impracticably mar
row, nowhere showing over ID inches il
the shaft; but the heavy and long lin'
of groupings seem to give promise o
important developments in the Lincoln
BLACK BEsS
is not fur from the Lincoln, and show
the same general character of ore: but i
is much more promising. The cropping
can be traced by the eye for | 200 feet
and the vein in discovery shaft expose
an averaged width Of AZ, feet. 1t is stu
ated on the north side Of and well NJ
on Arizona Mountain.
THE WAR EAGLE
is on the extreme east end of Arizon
Mountain. The vein is fully feet il
width wherever exposed, and ore is of tn
"free milling class The average of
number of assays is S16 to the ton
Groupings heavy and tracsable for so
feet. Walls very favorable. The dip
to the northwest. The War Eagle, moi
withstanding the low average assay, W
consider promising mine.
THE rocAHoNTAs
is on the northeast point of Arizon
Mountain. The vein is ~. feet wide
and ore very similar to that of the Wa
Eagle. Dips to the northwest. IL
walls are well defined, and the vein ca
be traced 200 feet by the groupings.
.. THE YELLOW JACKET.
: This is the company's extreme ives
ern location, being mile west of IL
Mendha hosting works. 1t is right @
line with the Mendha, Lee, Hambul
and Mississippi, and there is no doul
that they are all one and the same lodi
as the groupings are almost continuor
from the Hamburg on the east to the Ii
on the west.
. The above are the lodges PERSONAL
visited and the description of each WI
written on the ground. OF those NJ
t visited Mr.. Malone mentioned the Cal
fornia French, Western View, Ida L
! more and Mountaineer as very high
a valued by the company.
S The Highland Mill and Mining Con
$ pany is organized on strong finance
! basis, and they have no intention to p
d their stock ON the market uni
q the value of the mines is prov,
a by actual development; none of Il
d stock has changed hands at lie
i than 50 share, and all sales al
1t purchases have been confined to membe
" of the corporation. If the Mendha m
y proves q success, the company will il
s mediately erect mill of the same mod
8 but the failure OF the Mendha enterpri
d of which we have no apprehension
r would not discourage the Highland Coz
r pany. The holders of the stock, kno
n ing the silver is in the ore, and, bel
d strong financially, will, if necessary, f
g low failures with new trials, until 81
IS cess is achieved. But We believe Hig
e land district, within sixty days, will pro
II itself to be one of the richest silver mi
IS ing camps in Nevada.
d The Highland Mill and Mining Co
10 pany have secured most eligible mi
site, having wood and water in abur
.. ance.
