Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1875-03-11

received a statement, furnished by
L. Martin, Of Ida Valley, Esmer-
aida county, which shows the mines
OF that locality to be of great value.
The statement Is taken from the
assay book Of the mill of H iskey and
Walker. In 1t are given in detail
the results of 236 assays of as many
lots OF ore reduced in the mill. To
give the whole 236 assays would be
Of little interest to the general reader
therefore we give only the recapitu-
lation. This shows that the 236
assays aggregate III ,725 ~, the av-
erage of which is 1903 SO per ton.
Counting the ore to be worked up to
80 per cent. of this average, it shows
the average of all the ore worked to
heves been 3242 80. There were
657A tons worked, the yield of which
was $3.50, 646, or an average per ton
of Sat. .All of the 1856 lots reduced
were from Ida, except few from
Gold Mountain, and they were below
the average. Three -fourths of the
ore was worked without roasting,
and the result shows that it was
worked to Sl.3S of the assay. Every
mine in Ida District is represented
in the above statement.
Believing they have another stra-
tum of coal beneath the two strata
already passed through, the Virginia
City Coal Company have resumed
sinking in the main shaft of their
e,.A, s,, LnI0rnI, w.
Already, though the shaft has been.
deepened but few feet, they are
encouhtering what appears to be the
upper part of their third stratum. 1t
is the opinion of some coal miners
of experience that this will prove to
be Of a quality superior to that in the
upper veins; and, also, that the de.
posit OF coal will probably be found
to be Of greater thickness than those
above. - Enterprise. t LII
Three carloads of anthony ore
from Col. Evans mine, at Union
vile, were shipped from Mill City

The following from Measure for
Measure Of Saturday describes the
situation of the Defiance and other
mines in Lewis District: Defiance
is the name of ledge owned by
Frazer and Sweeney. They have
shaft down in the ledge 80 feet.
When down 10 feet, 400 feet of it
was sold for 200. At the present
depth they have the ledge at its reg
u!ar average width Of two feet of ore,
assaying from $500 to $500 in sill
YER. No assay from the ledge has
gone below $500, and carload
worked at Winnemucca yielded at
the rate of $500 per ton. This was
taken at depth of Is feet. A tun-
mel is in, following the ledge 100 feet,
between the walls. In the face of
the tunnel they have it the same
width-fine ant:monial silver. They
are now running a drift from the
bottom of the shaft, following the
ledge south. The Monitor, on the
same ledge, is owned by Blossom
and the Leyson brothers. They
have shaft so feet down in the ledge
and are taking out the same charac-
ter Of ore. .-s.~k
The Pioneer Mining Company has
been organized in San Francisco for
the purpose of carrying on the bust
ness of mining and milling in Union
vile, Humboldt county, Nevada.
The property OF the company in this
county consists Of the Henning aud
Inskip mines and the Pioneer mill,
in Unionville. The Henning mine
il yielding sufficient ore to run the
mill, and is considered one of the
best mines in the vicinity Of Union
vile. The Inskip has produced con-
siderable ore, a large percentage Of
which was high grade, working from
$3.50 to $500 per ton. The mill is
being thoroughly overhauled and
repaired, and will shortly be in a
condition to commence crushing
Silver State. .a .t
The machinery for quartz mill
of five stamps, to work ore from the
Badger mine, near Varyville, has
been shipped. From this small be-
ginning great results are expected by
the miners of Bartlett Creek, who
have been diligently prospecting
their claims during the Winter, hop
ing that an opportunity would be
afforded them in the spring to have
the ore which they have taken out
worked. Persons who are supposed
to be posted on the prospects Of the
new camp, predict that the mill will
pay for itself in one months run,
and that there will be at least fifty
strmps in operation in the district
before next Fall. & Fi...
