The San Francisco Stock Exchange
derives, as 1t says, from an impartial
source, the following regarding the
property of the Hemlock Consolidated
Mining Company, situated in Antelope
District, in this county:
The property of the above corpora
ton is located in Eureka county, Me-
vada. Antelope mining District, two
miles and a half from Alpha Station,
on the Eureka and Palisade Railroad.
The Hemlock Consolidated Company
comprises three claims, known as the
Hemlock, Young America and Silver
Brick. The Hemlock claim, Contain
ing l,500 running feet, by 60O feet wide,
is located on a weIl-defined ledge,
clearly traceable for three miles, run
ming north and south. The metal
crops to the surface for a length of
about we miles on this lode, showing
in some places a ledge so to 100 feet in
width. A shaft has been sunk to q
depth of 40 feet, the ledge showing s
feet wide at the bottom, in a slate and
quartz formation, the ore averaging $50
per ton.
The Young America mine is also a
/ 500 foot claim, located on a distant
ledge, running parallel to and 500 feet
west of the Hemlock, the lead being
traceable for one mile. There are
three shafts sunk on this claim, the
main shaft being at present down 100
feet on the ledge. The ledge improves
as 1t goes down, in quartziie, pOrphyry
and slate formation. As they have not
drifted to the hanging wall, canno say
the exact width of the ledge, but SO far
there is a paying ore body Q feet wide,
which will average $50 per on. No. z
shaft, 800 feet from the main shaft, and
No. 8, 400 feet from No. 2, along the
ledge, are both sunk only 40 feet, show
ing the ledge o feet wide at the bottom,
consisting of paying ore and ledge
matter mixed. However, the appear
ance OF the formation in sinking indi-
Gates that when these shafts attain the
depth reached in the main shaft (l60
feet). the ledge will develop the same
fine paying ore body uncovered i'm the
main shaft. The ledge in the main
shaft pitches regularly at an angle of
sixty-five degrees. The sinking of
these three shafts along the ledge
proves conclusively hat it is as true a
assure vein as any ever discovered in
the State. There are $50 tons of ore on
the dumps, worth $50 per ton. The
Silver Brick is a 1900 claim on an
other lode, situated a quarter of a mile
west of and running parallel to the
Young America. The groupings on
this lode are iraceable for about six
teen miles, and rises in places 100 feet
above the surface.
IN Tim SilS-nr RrisE nloft, thorn n ro
rich groupings for 500 running feet,
and at the point where the company
are now. sinking two shafts, the ledge
shows 400 feet wide for about 300 feet
along the ledge. These shafts are be-
ing sunk, m on each side of the ledge,
to be connected by drifts, to ventilate
the mine and tap the ledge. The CROP
pings will assay from $40 to $3.50, aver
aging about SIS per ton. The Com
pany have uncovered some fine ore
during the past week in sinking the
west shaft of this claim. They have
struck a very rich vein about two feet
wide which is a spur running to the
main lead, as The shaft is going down
on the west side of The ledge.
The are about 20 other different
mines on these lodes, all held by To-
Gators. The southern extension of the
Silver Brick is located, showing the
same well defined formation, with the
exception that The groupings are not
quite so rich, but appearances justify
the assertion, that on opening up the
property it will prove fully equal TO
The Silver Brick claim. The company
are about erecting a 20-stamp mill,
when they have their shafts sunk suf-
ficiently on the Silver Brick claim to
run off levels, which will probably be
within a month. The mill will be To-
Gated two miles from the mines on a
good steam of water fed by natural
springs.
Timber is abundant in the vicinity |
of the mine, wood costing only 81 g
cord, delivered at tie mines. Ore can
be hauled to the mills for 81 per ton
All kinds of supplies can be obtained
cheaper than at other Eastern camps,
owing 10 the proximity OF the Eureka
and Palisade road.
This camp. having these advantages.
bids fair 10 stand prominently before
the San Franciscan public Gro long as
possessing one OF the richest silver de
posits in Nevada. Although situat-
ed in the same belt as the celebrated
Eureka and Richmond Consolidated
mines, the ores of The Hemlock ConsOli
dated Company are free milling ores
from defined lodges.
