machinery as soon as possible. There
is doubIe-compartment shaft, 1lO
feet deep, from which some ore has
been taken, working about $50 per
ton. The groupings are well defined,
and the ledge, as exposed in the
shaft, indicates merit and perma-
nency.
DAYTON NO. 2.
This claim joins the Memnon on
the north, and is but a short distance
below the Carson & Virginia Toll
Road. 1t consists of 800 feet, be-
longing to p. Quinn, Dick Thomas
and Joe Leaman. A tunnel has been
run in some 500 feet, also shaft
sunk over 40 feet in depth. In both
the ledge shows well, and as it as
says from $50 to $75 per ton (mostly
silver the indications are that proper
machinery ana depth are all that are
required to make it still better.
This, we understand, will be done as
soon as possible.
MOONEY AND wHITEMAN
Is situated between the Daney and
Dayton No. 2, embracing 450 feet,
principally owned by ex-Mayor
Kaneen and Messrs. Mooney and
Whiteman, the gentlemen after whom
it is called. The shaft is about GO
feet deep, from which point drift
was run west for distance of II
feet, the whole distance in ledge
matter assaying from $25 to $50 per
ton. From the size and appearance
of this ledge we are most favorably
impressed as to its future, but like
other locations here, it requires prop
er machinery to get depth to explore
it properly.
Is south of the Daney and north of
the Columbia, consisting of 1900
feet of the old Mt. Hope Lode. There
are two shafts on it, each about go
feet deep. The first follows the east
wall, and the other was supposed to
be sunk on the hanging wall, about
Is feet from No. l but this failed to
snow the width of the vein. From
these shafts considerable rock was
taken by Mr.. Quinn, and worked at
Koneman's mill, paying little over
$50 per ton. AT that time 1t would
not pay to further develop, but it
was relocated, and recorded April
9th, by II. l.. Coye and ii. Summers,
who will within short time reopen
the mine for extensive explorations.
There are other locations in and
around Spring Valley, which we will
notice in another issue. From what
we have seea and the assays taken
from different locations, we are more
fully convinced that all that's needed
is the one great want of this district
depth. Depth alone will develop
them and reveal to the world their
real merit.
