Cortez District.

This district is situated in Eureka
county ne n the Lander line, and about
twenty miles south of Beowawa sta.
ton, on the Central Pacific Railroad.
j. f. Lucas, who has just returned to
Phoebe from Cortez district, gives the
editor of the Record some particulars
re. alive to the mines Of that important
camp. The first mi. 9 in the district
was found in 1868, in which Tom Nc
Masters and Winburn were original
locatOrs. A company was organized
soon after, and machinery brought
from San Francisco at the rate OF 374s
cents per pound. This, with other eX-
penses and the various "perquisiteS'
exacted, swalnped the company, and
the members were compelled to aban-
don the mine. Everyone left the
camp except Winburn, who, with his
family, has weathered the storm for
ten wears. At intervals, however, the
chl0rlding process has been engaged
i'm by different parties since the mines
were first discovered. In early days
ores were taken to Austin, rs miles
distant, and converted into bars and
bullion. For three years Or over
Wlnburn has been running a ten
stamp mill, which has been found
ample to accommodate the few who
made the ex Experiment. in that district.
With anything approaching a de-
velopment of this camps resources,
the mill-power will have to be in
creased ten-fuld in order to reduce
to bullion and bars the yield OF
these mines. WOOD and water
are found close at hand. n III

prominent mines in the district are
the Garrison. Nevada, Giant. st LOUIS
and Taylor, and Passmore,, Dcsides
those owned and worked by J.E. Lu-
cas-, Amos Johnson and John Hanre-
han. all of Phoebe. from the former of
whom we obtain some interesting
data concerning Cortez district. The
mines owned by Lucas and his part

silver mines. and the Mammoth, a
COPPER mine. Enough work has been
done on the ModOC and Richmond 10

face, and experts assert that the yield

greatest attention. 1t is the purpose
of MIR. Lucas and his companions to
return To COrtez district at once. being
now satisfied that the mines are rich
and having secured the required capt.
tai for their complete development.
The Cortez district will be heard FROM
again.
